The following is a conservation between a guru and his disciple
DISCIPLE: I regularly do puja with full dedication can I get enlightenment?
Guru: Maybe , maybe not...
Disciple: I read religious scriptures everyday will I get enlightenment?
Guru: Maybe, Maybe not....
Disciple: I regularly go to pilgrimage every year won't I get enlightenment?
Guru: May be May be not....
Disciple: I show compassion to other living creatures and I am against violence will I get enlightenment or not?
Guru: may be may not?
Frustrated disciple asked the guru " then, what is the way to get enlightement? Please tell me swamiji?
Guru laughed and said" You do as much as you do for a sunrise and a sunset".
READING SCRIPTURES, VISITING TEMPLES, GOING ON PILGRIMAGE ARE CONSIDERED TO BE A PREPARATORY SESSION. Moreover, your karmic baggage also helps you to take you to the corridors of the enlightenment. Ultimately, it is Hari ittchha.
