Namaste,

 

A Caveat! [Warning!] :

 

Finding faults with how 'others' spend their time [on Holy Days or

otherwise] is a highly pernicious exercise on several counts:

 

 

It does not help the 'others'.

It wastes the fault-finders' time in not spending it on the Holy Name.

It promotes and perpetuates the worst kind of 'spiritual' arrogance

and egoism.

It is questioning the Divine Will, and telling the Divine how the

world should be run!

 

Just remember the last words of the Holy Mother, and pray:

 

" May the wicked become virtuous. May the virtuous attain peace.

May the tranquil be free from bondage. May the free liberate others. "
