What is the relationship between religion and politics?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Religion is the surrender of the ego, while politics is the will-to-power; true transformation comes not from control, but from embracing the unknown."

Religion is about letting go of control; politics is about grabbing control—so you can’t do both at once.
Why this matters practically
- Focus on inner transformation instead of power struggles.
- Practice will-lessness and trust to reduce stress and conflict.
- Make choices that avoid ego-driven ambition and preserve spiritual growth.
