Vivek had posed the following question

 

Q1. Is it better not to worship at all than to worship incorrectly i.e

not following the injunctions mentioned in the scriptures?

 

My answer is:

 

As someone said: Achieving excellence is in man's domain but perfection is

in God's domain. I think no man can claim perfection. Therefore, not

being able to do something correctly should not be an excuse to drop that

activity. All that is expected of us is to do our best. In the ultimate

analysis the +ve will far outweigh the -ve.

 

Q2. Would bhakti cover any mistakes done by incorrect worship? As He

is the ocean of mercy, wouldn't He tolerate the mistakes done by me in

worshipping Him?

 

My answer is:

 

I think the answer is No. Every activity of ours creates ripples on the

universal equilibrium and the effect must be worked off. 'Na Vaishamya

Nairgrunyhe Saapekshatvaat" and "Parjanyavat Isvaraha". Isvara is neutral

and every karma of ours has to take its effect. Even for a prapanna, his

good or bad karmas are distributed to others at the end. It is not

washed-off by a ever merciful Isvara.
