Gurunathar’s Divine Message Moolam Pooja 15-04-2009
I need to reply to a strange question. “When the mind becomes very powerful what is the need for rituals or poojas?”. There is in fact a proverb, “When the mind is strong where is the need for mantras?”. Till the mind reaches that stage of strength pooja’s are a necessity. I would like to explain: it is because there are rules to be followed which in turn can increase your concentration and devotion step by step the mind becomes strong until it becomes so powerful that pooja’s are not a necessity. Still I would say outward worship and prayers lead to inner worship. It starts us on the path and can bring immense results. This I have said several times but only few seem to follow it. The general feeling is that they cannot find time during the day for this.
In twenty four hours can one not find twenty minutes for the worship of God? Don’t push it aside thinking it takes up much time. Morning and evening you should put aside time for mental worship and make it a habit. This will bring great benefits. All the practices of worship and related Kriya and actions are only to strengthen your mind.
