Religion is a mere reflection ...

Religion is, in reality, living. Our religion is not what we profess, or what we say, or what we proclaim; our religion is what we do, what we desire, what we seek, what we dream about, what we fantasize, what we think - all these things - twenty-four hours a day. One's religion, then, is ones life, not merely the ideal life but the life as it is actually lived.

Portrait of an old lady I came across in Dodra during my last visit to Himachal Pradesh. It's always nice to see people from the mountains welcome others with a warm smile.
