    Will God save me, if I do pujas ?


    It may appear so, but Existential Order is always zero defect.
    Everything is as it should be. There are no irregularities in Existence.
    If I may use a metaphor, it doesn’t matter how noble hearted one is,
    but if he doesn’t know how to drive and yet attempts to drive a vehicle,
    he is sure to meet with an accident. The suffering of most people is that
    though they may be good, though they may believe in god, they have
    failed to develop the competence to live life.

    We just believe that worshiping god or the messengers of god or the
    incarnations of god is sufficient to earn His blessing.

    We are lost in the ignorance that god will come and save us just as an answer
    to all our pujas, rituals and offerings. We choose to make various kinds of
    offerings as kickbacks to please the Lord and expedite matters for us, tilt
    opportunities in our favour, prolong the life of our loved ones, etc… but we have
    conveniently chosen to ignore principles like Honesty, Integrity, Karma and
    so many other virtues, which find common mention across all scriptures.

    Think about it.

    If worshipping the Lord is sufficient,
    then why the Bible?
    Why the Koran?
    Why the Bhagawad Gita?
    Why any scripture for that matter?

    In fact, the very basis of every scripture is to teach you and me the components
    of Existential Order, so that you and I can live our lives in alignment with the
    Existential Order. Even if you are a maths teacher’s son, if two plus two is written
    as three, you are wrong. Even if you know nothing about the examiner,
    if two plus two is written as four, you are right.

    Even those who do not know ‘Who is god?’, even those who do not believe
    in the existence of god, as long as they live in alignment to the Existential Order,
    which is what every scripture is all about, they will always be blessed by His grace.
    The more you are aligned to the Existential Order, the more you’ll experience
    His Grace. Grace is the spiritual reward for aligning yourself to the Existential Order.

    Suffering is a spiritual feedback that somewhere you have lost your alignment to
    the Existential Order. God is not a matter of belief, but a matter of alignment.
    Why did the incarnate Krishna waste his time preaching eighteen chapters, answering
    and clarifying every question of Arjuna? Krishna could have simply told Arjuna - go around
    me thrice, pour some milk and ghee over me, smear sandalwood paste all over
    your body, fall at my feet four times and just shoot your arrows. Then, why at all
    the Bhagawad Gita?

    If going to church on Sunday mornings and faith in Christ are enough,

    then why did Christ waste three years of his life sermonising ‘Dos’ and ‘Don’ts’ which became the Bible?

    If doing Namaz five times a day is enough, then why all those ‘Dos’ and ‘Don’ts’ in the Koran?

    The Mahabharata shows that Duryodana took all the resources of Krishna, and
    that was not enough. Arjuna had Krishna himself, and that too was not enough. Only
    when Arjuna understood the Dharma (Existential Order) and acted in alignment with
    it was he able to emerge victorious. The message is clear and simple - god does not
    work for you; He works with you. His design is such that the only way He can work
    with you is when you live in alignment with the Existential Order.

    If god is the Messenger, the scriptures are his Message.

    The only way to have the grace of the Messenger is to live by the Message.

    It is just not enough to value the Master…

    you must Master the values.

    Be devoted to the Messenger, but be disciplined by the Message.
