Gurunather’s Divine Message Ashwini Pooja Gupta 02-02-2009
I would like to answer a question: “Are not Yagnas (or Homam) a waste of money? Can we not use the money in a better manner?”
Please listen carefully to my reply: “What is used in a Yagna can never go waste. Even if God does not need any of what we offer at all, for our satisfaction we give Him a little”
I can explain this with an example. A farmer scatters seeds in a field. If we feel that these seeds could have been better used by feeding someone who was going hungry, we are wrong. Only if he sows these seeds will the farmer get a crop of rice that will feed many. Similarly we find that what we give in a small measure in a ceremony serves to earn God’s bountiful grace. By this grace many benefits are received. For example, good rain, a good crop, mental peace, material advancement are some of the blessings that comes to us. If we wish to make a equation what we receive from God is so great compared to what we give Him. This is my reply.
