In
spiritual matters, faith is the very essence. Have faith in the wisdom
of the ancients - do not pitch your tiny and little brain against the
institutions of saints and their discoveries. For example, people
question the ritual of offering food in the fire, on the death
anniversary of one’s parents. They scorn and mock, "How can the food
placed here reach wherever they are?", "Why are the dead given food,
when the living starve?" they argue. You post a letter in the box, it
goes straight to the addressee, is it not? If the address is written
correctly and clearly, and if the necessary postage is paid in valid
stamps, the letter is carried in bus, air, train or by people right upto
the doorstep of the person and delivered. The ritual fire is the
authorized post box, fire is the postal authority, manthras are
the stamps.
There is a science of the spirit, as there is a science of matter; it
has its own modus operandi; its own experts and authoritative theses.
Only by sadhana can the secrets of either matter or mind be known, grasped and used for one's benefit.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
