On-going discussion on Temples and Deities

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

To an outsider, it may appear as if our Gods and Goddesses are competing

for first place in human recognition, and with them, the temples too in

which they are residing. A closer reading however would reveal that the

competitors are only the Bhaktas who keenly desire for the supremacy of

the idol of their devotion. Existing beyond all our egos and hence out

of reach of our ego, they silently listen to our words and communicate a

message to which we could pay heed:

 

"The Wise

Without taking credit, are accredited;

Without claiming, are acclaimed;

Not competing,

Find peaceful competence."
