A devotee asked Anandmurti Gurumaa the following question – Why people go to visit the temples if everything is inside our body? And if the soul is like a lightening power, then why can’t everyone see it?
Gurumaa says that until one experiences or understands that everything is within him, one can go to a temple. A devotee should visit the temple with purified feelings and beautiful emotions pertaining to – “Godliness and Devotion”.
To dwell upon these beautiful feelings, one needs to pray from the core of the heart. Listening to the Spiritual Discourses, Hyms (bhajans) and reading the spiritual books, etc of an Enlightened Master also help to achieve higher planes of consciousness.
At most times, temples are quite crowded and jam-packed with devotees. One gets a feeling of anxiety and also finds it difficult to breathe freely in such situations. This might be one of the reasons why people feel repelled towards visiting temples and ask what is the need to visit temples at all!
So, Gurumaa suggests setting aside some time to visit the temple when it is free from the crowd and lots of noises. Because in the quietude of a temple it will be easier to meditate, contemplate and pray with devotion.
These positive vibrations of devotion can be very helpful in the spiritual growth of the devotee. With regular meditation one can move towards the path of “Self-Realization”.
The regular practice of prayers and meditation; and the Master’s blessings help the devotee to slowly and steadily glide deeper and deeper and get an eye to see the divine light within. And finally it will be revealed that everything is within one’s body itself and the “Soul” is like a lightening power.
