If a thorn has entered your foot, get another thorn and with its help take out the first; then throw away the second also. " We could apply this also to religion. The thorn of Ignorance is removed by the 'thorn of Religion' with all its rituals, dogmas & injunctions. AND, as Blessed Thakur has said on many occasions: " Rituals drop away by themselves, when one has realized Brahman. " Religion has also been often described as man's feeble attempt to reach the Unreachable, the Unknowable. Whatever it is, I like it and think that it is a great pastime ! +om ____ 123India - India's Premier Search Engine Get your Free Email Account at http://www.123india.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
