Find your own way...

Mendel Kravitz saves up for many years to buy a really fine tailor-made suit, his very first. But after he's been out in it for an hour, he notices that there are things wrong with it. He goes back to the tailor.
"The arms are too long," says Mendel.
"No problem," replies the tailor. "Just hold your arms out further and bend at the elbows."
"But the trouser legs are too long," says Mendel.
"Right," replies the tailor. "No problem, just walk with your knees bent."
"But the collar is too high, it's halfway up the back of my head!" says Mendel.
"Okay, just poke your head out further," says the tailor.
So Mendel goes out into the world with his first tailor-made suit. As he's passing a couple in the street, the woman says, "Look at that poor man! He must have had polio."
"Yes," her husband replies. "But he must have a great tailor, his suit fits him perfectly."
All the so called religious people are like this tailor. They are not concerned with you. They are concerned with their suits.
You are just made for yourself. And you have to find your own way of living, your own way of seeing, your own way of silence, your own way to bliss.
