Bhagawan says when the rice matures the rituals would fall by itself. So long the water is running in the river it needs the bank of the river but when it reaches the sea what is the need then.
-------
I like this expressing. Thank you. Which Bhagwan would that be? There are now so many that have registered that domain name.
The running water within banks, is nothing but the sea, ..............playing,.................so.
For even the banks flow with the river, ..............in total harmony, ..............in a total dance of unison.
There is only flowing, ...............no things which flow.
And the flowing,..........
..........as-if.
Such are the importance of ritual Poona or methodology of sadhana so long your in ( dvaita and vishwadvaita phase ) but for a person who is established in union with THAT( advaita) what is the relevance .
---------
Nothing is of any importance.
For there are no goals, which can decide what is important, what is not important.
And rituals happen,....
pooja happens,.........
sadhana happens.
As objective expressionings of that flowing.
A sage sees that there is no poojari in a pooja, .............there is just the happening of the pooja, in the moment.
Apperceives that there is no sadhak in the sadhna,.............there is only the occurring sadhna, in the moment.
Moment to moment to moment.
Irrespective of the particular external form of the activity, happening in the moment.
That is why for a sage, there is no qualification between...........the love-making next to temple idol, .........or.......the sadhna in a brothel.
