Shree's recent posting

[Guest guest]

Dear Prapatti Group Members:

 

I appreciate Shree for sharing the note from his friend on Ganesha Pooja.

The need for humility indeed is stressed. Like Franklin said humility is

such a difficult virtue to attain - that when you have it you become proud

of having obtained it!

 

I must also hasten to point to Shree that the point raised by his friend

have unfortunately nothing new in them. People who have patience, humility

and a large heartedness to help the whole of humanity have deeply pondered

over those points and come to firm conclusions. All I can say is: We must

have faith in our tradition handed over to us by our parents. If you are a

Sri- Vaishnava do what what your Acharyas or parents ask you to do. People

like his friend who talk of a large heartedness are they willing to embrace

Islam and Christianity. Where do we draw the line. Can we treat dust and

deity the same ( just because everything is pervaded by Vishnu). Often in

life we come across a situation where two wrongs do not make a right. Just

because I don't show Ananya Bhava w.r.t my secular life does it mean I

should do the same thing in my spiritual sadhanas.

 

I am sure such thoughts as expressed by Shree's friend are easily accepted

by every one. That's unfortunately the current trend.
