And they are deeply personal.<br /><br />There is nothing wrong in it. Very often, many people find lot of happiness and contentment from such beliefs. It becomes a problem, only when someone exploits believers with beliefs by subjugating them.<br /><br />Babas get arrested for their criminal actions. That has nothing to do with virtuosity, wise teachings, and the paths of good living, which incidentally, at some point these babas might have spoken about. The two are different. <br /><br />Similarly, I don't find any relation between your mother's visit to the ashram and your brother helping someone. You mom did find a connection though. That's because of her belief. <br /><br />Beliefs help us connect dots. Only that scientific beliefs have empirical evidences. But religious beliefs have only anecdotal evidences.Pradeep Nairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873369124947878452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636808797927234183.post-9709846641156563762021-06-17T23:24:04.366-07:002021-06-17T23:24:04.366-07:00Very considerate and kind of him.

My brother refused to accept the money because he thought they may have many expenses due to the death of their daughter - cremation and other 10th day, 13th day thithi expenses.SGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790347071764332430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636808797927234183.post-53988232970467408102021-06-17T21:15:28.888-07:002021-06-17T21:15:28.888-07:00Thanks for your comments Rajesh.
