Dasera



……contd….

Just by following the traditions or rituals blindly do I get the benefit? 

How can you if you don’t know why and what you are doing?  The main difference between a materialistic and a spiritual person is the operating center from which they operate.

A person who follows the ritual blindly becomes arrogant, fanatic, blind with faith, rigid with his beliefs, thinks less of people who don’t follow the same ritual….. these will further take him away from the lord and bind him to his karma.  So, by following the tradition blindly we harm ourselves more than benefit out of it in most of the cases. 

Where is bhakthi if purpose of this ritual is not understood?  Without bhakthi, how can you bring humility, love and happiness in this entire ritual? These lacking how can you assume to score marks called ‘punya’ by blindly following a ritual?
