Devotion

The other day I was in a temple being insisted on my presence. I needed not be there but I went. I have seen such events many times in the past and I was going through it without any particular devotion. Then the priest or the person who is sponsoring this event started praising the merit of this exercise, I could not then stop myself but clapping in appreciation. It was instinctive. Many pairs of eyes came to be focused on me. Next the ordeal, the priest ordered all to stand up participate in the eulogy song of almighty. I did not get up. Then they started to move around while singing and clapping, I got up this time and went away to my car.

I have seen and known many robbers, just like anybody make many offerings including human beings for the success of their endeavor. Many make pilgrimage to distant lands and promise sacrifices, fasting, and hardships in order to ensure their wish fulfilled. I do not have to know the success rate of their efforts.

If there is any supreme entity constantly monitoring one with whatever device, Telescope or Microscope, and evaluating one's sacrifices or hard work in order to grant one the success, that entity may have to ignore 6 billion others existing in the world just now in order to give one this onerous attention.

This is possible if and only if the same resides in one. Under no circumstances one can hoodwink the same that knows all one's past, one's motivations till this moment and the reasons for one's sacrifice and the hard work.

Time goes on !!
