We often make all things around us the way we want them. Even during our pilgrimages we have begun
to look for whatever makes our heart happy, gives comfort to our body and peace to the mind. It is as if
external solutions will fulfil our needs, and we do not want to make any special efforts even in our spiritual
search. Our mind is resourceful-it works to find shortcuts in simple and easy ways.
(2) Even pilgrimages have been converted into tourism opportunities. Instead, we must awaken our conscience
and souls and understand the truth. Let us not tamper with either our own nature or that of the Supreme.
(3) All our deverness is rendered inefíective when nature does a dance of destruction. Its fury can and will
wash away al imperfections. Indian culture, based on Vedic treatises, assists in human evolution, but we
are now using our entire energy in distorting these traditions according to our convenience instead of
making efforts to make ourselves worthy of them.
(4) The irony is that humans are not even aware of the complacent attitude they have allowed themselves to sink
to. Nature is everyones Amma and her fierce blows will sooner or later corner us and force us to understand
this truth. Earlier, pilgrimages to places of spiritual significance were rituals that were undertaken when
people became free from their worldly duties. Even now some seekers take up this pious religious journey
as a path to peace and knowledge. Anyone travelling with this attitude feels and travels with only a few
essential items that his body can carry. Pilgrims traditionally travelled light, on foot, eating light, dried
chickpeas and fruits, or whatever was available. Pilgrims of olden days did not feel the need to stay in
special AC bedrooms, or travel by luxury cars or indulge themselves with delicious food and savouries.
(5) Pilgrims traditionally moved ahead, creating a feeling of belonging towards all, conveying a message
of brotherhood among received the blessings and congregations of yogis and mahatmas in return while conducting the dharma of
their pilgrimage. A plgrimage is like penance or sadhana to stay near nature and to experience a feeling of
oneness with it, to keep the body healthy and fulfilled with the amount offood, while seeking freedom from
attachments and yet remaining happy while staying away from relatives and associates.
(6) This is how a pigrimage should be rather than making it like a picnic by taking a large group along and
living in comfort, packing in entertainment, and tampering with environment. What is worse is giving a
boost to the ego of having had a special darshan. Now alms are distributed, charity done while they brag
about their spiritual experiences!
(7) We must embark on our spiritual journey by first understanding the grace and significance of a pilgrimage
and following it up with the prescribed rules and rituals this is what translates into the ultimate and
beautiful medium of spiritual evolution. There is no justifkication for tampering with nature.
8) A pilgrimage is symbolic of contemplation and meditation and acceptance, and is a metaphor for the
constant growth or movement and love for nature that we should hold in our bearts.
(9) This is the truth!
