Guest guest Posted October 15, 1999 Report Share Posted October 15, 1999 A flower, a fruit or a leaf are enough to please the Lord of the Universe, according to the Bhagavad Gita. There is a tendency among modern people to frown upon rituals followed by religious people. It must be understood however that not all of them are reproachable. Being normally in a `karma' mode, man is naturally a creature who believes in action. This action, by making an impression on the mind, helps achieve mental concentration, aiding faith, devotion - and meditation. It is similar to the effect of an audio-visual aid, which is more effective than a mere audio presentation. So, if you light incense, or place a flower before your favourite object of worship, you are not indulging in a savage ritual but doing your religious life a good turn.
