Gita reflection Ch 16 verses 17 & 18

7th November 2024


No true success is achieved by chance. Accomplishments are always by performing the actions diligently, and by following the proven methods. This is all the more important in Vedic rituals.

People of demoniac nature, deluded by their overpowering demand for pleasures do not follow the required procedures while performing rituals. They resort to ego, power, arrogance, passion and anger.

The ritualists of this kind disregard another important aspect of ritual. The result of a ritual is obtained not merely by following the procedure. The reverential attitude toward the Lord who bestows the results is also important.

When one disregards the presence of the Lord within oneself and in others, one grows envious and becomes fit only for hell despite performing the prescribed rituals!
