Guest guest Posted October 12, 2001 Report Share Posted October 12, 2001 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: "Discipline, tranquillity and gentleness are like three chemicals required to make a product called mental concentration. The act of achieving concentration of mind by using these three ingredients itself is Pooja. The idol we like to worship is only symbolic. The belief on a particular form of God makes the mind calm. The aesthetic beauty of the idol and the materials with which we worship the deity will confer beauty and gentleness to the heart. The chanting of mantras with proper intonations and tempo will bestow discipline to the physical body as well as to the mind. This is what happens in pooja."
