If we want to describe religion in one word, then we can say it as "patience". All religions teach patience to their followers. If anyone argues about the meaning of religion, then at last it will mean out as patience only. Some people say that if we are going to visit a religious place then we should clean our mind and soul before going. But according to my religion (Sikhism), teaches us that if we will go to a religious place, then only our minds and thoughts will be clean. And we will turn into a pure soul.
