Learning differently from different people
Tamil poet Avvaiar told in her poetry as ' Katrathu kaiyalavu kallaathathu ulagalavu' which means what we learnt is just to our fist size but the world size is to learn by us.Similarly two incidents made me to learn a thing differently.
Three days back a person who casually talked with me in a bus told about the necessity of going to temple for worship though many are telling God is inside us. He explained in a simple way to me expressing the need of going to temple, We are watching a cinema in television in our house hall, though we like the picture well, there are many chances of getting disturbed through mobiles or guests etc., Even in mobiles or laptops we can see cinemas but the fullest satisfaction is come to us only if we in a cinema Hall. Similar to that we can worship God even by sitting in our pooja room but the pleasure we get from temple we cannot get in our house to that extent.
Today I went to Sri Meenakshi Amman Temple at Madurai. A person when entering into the main place where the sannidhi located, a man by my side asked his friend why they made air condition in that area unnecessarily. The answer told by his friend, though very simple, made me to think.
His friend told, 'See, we many are coming to temple for solace amidst many problems but when we enter into the shrine we got pleasure and unexplainable feeling when the air conditioned air blows on us. This is the simple reason for that arrangement and it makes us free from any worries and we can concentrate our mind towards God'.
