Rays of Dharma
cease to be lifeless rituals. Stipulations laid by the Lords are simple and straightforward, but we hardly find time to understand the meanings thereof. One can get to the truth of life, if he sincerely endeavors for it. For that purpose, he should be willing to examine the pros and cons of all situations dispassionately without developing craving or aversion for any of them.
Impartiality is an essential attribute of religion. For that purpose it is necessary to have an open mind. That is the most vital step in order to climb over the summit of religion. Closed mind is analogous to an egg. Once it is broken, the bird can come out and will learn to fly in the sky. Our mind, intellect etc. now happen to be confined within the traditions. It is necessary to break them in order to make out the true nature of the soul as well as other substances in the universe.
