Well I can understand "sense and meaning " but why do we need order????

think about it. If ten people are walking in a circular formation and no one walks out of it and breaks that so called "Order" no one is going to get anywhere !!!

During 1800s, Anthropologists had a problem as to how
to classify human beings. One researcher proposed the
expression "intelligent animal". After advanced studies
on monkeys, it was dropped. Another researcher proposed
"tool using animal". After observing some animals
making wooden tools and sharpening them with knife like
stones, it was dropped. Another researcher proposed
"weapon using animal". A decade ago, a rare film was
shot in African forests. One short monkey was hit very
badly by a big monkey. The short monkey prepared a
wooden knife using stones and hid it on the top of a
tree. After some days, when the big monkey came to
attack the short monkey, it ran up to the tree for the
weapon it has hid and killed the big monkey. The one
thing that the anthropologists found with any group of
human beings, even if they did not have contacts with
the out side world for thousands of years, is
spirituality with some form of religion. So, man is a
"spiritual animal" if you want to call him that way.

The Upanishads say that "Manush" (human) was so named
because he has "Manas" a mind higher than that of the
animals which realises the divinity in creation. It was
present since the creation of human beings. Religion is
the characteristic feature of most of the human beings.
It is as eternal and and as unchanging as the Almighty.
Disbelief by a few will not affect it.

It is the religion which provides order, sense and meaning
of the world.

Those social organs or institutions are as much a part of chaos as order. It is not the institutions themselves nor the general concepts as description for the purpose for which they were created, but reciprocally accepted philosophy which guides not only the formation of policy but also its defense against erosion, vandalism and apathy. Nature as human potential that has as its self consciousness philosophy that describes its self not only creates, is meaning and order but included its conceptualized or identified enemies for which it has a means to identify, diagnose, recourse and remedy.
