Rites are the experiments of highest order, beyond the reach of science.
The various rites specified in Hindu dharma, right from birth of an individual till its death like marriage, rituals like Vastushanti and the rituals performed for a departed soul (Shraddha) are commensurate to acquire God. Ritualistic worship, sacrificial fires etc. are the direct medium for acquiring God. Is there a single experiment in Science which enables one to acquire God ?

Reason why one should undertake spiritual practice ?
Family compared to individual, village compared to family, nation compared to village and righteousness (dharma) compared to nation are superior. This is because only righteousness (dharma) is capable of imparting final liberation (moksha), whereas all others trap us in Great Illusion (maya) ! That is why one should undertake spiritual practice !

Real education is the one that guides us to achieve oneness with God
Real education is the one that guides us to achieve oneness with God. Since science and all other streams of education are related to Great Illusion (maya) and about achieving happiness from Great Illusion, it drives one away from God and therefore its value is zero.

Whose support is more powerful - A Political leader's or God's ?
In case of a difficulty, the Congress people will ask Mrs. Sonia Gandhi
for help and the BJP members will call Advaniji for help. Seekers, however, will pray only to God. Under such circumstances, who will receive the real help ? [Ashwin Shukla 8, Kaliyug Varsh 5111 (26th September 2009)]

A worldly reward vs a spiritual reward !
The importance of any reward, be it from any organisation, Government or a global award like a Nobel Prize, is limited to that day only. On the contrary, the importance of a Spiritual reward (Example: The Guru telling the seeker that his spiritual progress is occurring or that He has become a Saint) lasts for several births ! [Magh Shukla 14, Kaliyug Varsh 5111 (29th January 2010)]
