Albert Einstein 46 - religion & Religiosity

Albert was initiated into religion from the age of six. When Albert began his school in Catholic primary school, He was the only Jewish child in class. In school, it was a part of the curriculum to learn the Bible. However, he learnt about the Jewish religion too, From a home tutor - a relative, with knowledge of Jewish heritage. Though his parents did not strictly adhere to Jewish tradition, They wanted their children to learn about their religion so that They were aware of their Jewish heritage, tradition and culture. At that age, Albert became curious about religion and learnt with interest. By the time, Albert reached the age of twelve, Albert became deeply involved with science and Mathematics. He began to question the miraculous events that he read in Bible. He could not accept or believe these miracles. As such Albert developed complete lack of faith in personal God And asserted contradictory views on conventional religion. He questioned the very existence of a personal God And declared himself as agnostic by nature. However, Albert remained deeply ‘religious' in broad sense of the word, As a philosopher who realised the inner beauty of his soul. Most remarkable part of Albert and his views on religion, Is that though he lost his faith in the normal religious rituals, His ‘religiosity' in science gained a wider perspective And a deeper insight into Cosmic laws. He believed in the power of Nature and Truth And respected the laws governing the cosmic vibrations. The beauty of his ‘religiosity' gained much value As he identified himself as a part and parcel of this cosmos. He remained modest and down to earth throughout his life, A philosophy of unity of man and world in a harmonious blend A Biographical Poem
