Glimpses of Sentiments
Therefore, you saluted me. You were not singing songs of my praise as you felt worthpraising. Name and fame, you considered worth-praising. I was the creator of name-fame, Therefore, you sung my praises. Lightening of inscences and 'Deep', lamps and waving a'CHAMAR", a fan-like thing were considered by you. As gaining some power. I was the giver of power. Therefore you lighted insences, 'Deep' lamps and waved a CHAMAR', a fan-like thing. In your mind you thought, you had a family accomodative, flexible, adjustable to perform sacred ritual of 'ARATI and considering myself making the family that flexible, you performed my 'ARATI. As per your mind, you had a loving wife. You felt I was the giver of that loving wife and became my lover. Disease ~ old age ~ insults, ~ poverty because of the torchure of all these you cried aloud before me. But because of deficiencies of values and evil virtues there was not even a drop of tear in your eyes. You practiced favourable orders. You avoided unfavourable orders. Devotion towards me, prayers, sentiments in the centre thereof you had arranged happiness, power, wealth, beauty, convenience. Gold, women, body, fame, family. Money, relatives, wife, sun, position- prestige. Freedom from unhappiness, freedom from pains, freedom from poverty.
