#Spiritual The question Periyar could not answer till the end — raised by Thevar (Pasumpon Thevar, speech at Pollachi Sri Kudaluruvi Mariamman Temple, 1959) Everyone knows that stars exist. But a person looking in the daytime cannot see them. Everyone knows the sun exists. But if you look at night, the sun does not appear. To look for the sun at night and hastily conclude that the sun does not exist is foolish. In the same way, it is equally foolish to argue that whatever one does not directly perceive does not exist. The world is not structured in a way that everything is visible to everyone at all times. Take your own body as an example. You can see your hands, legs, and other parts. But can you see your own eyes directly? You cannot. Would it be right for someone to say: “I saw my hands, so I have hands. I saw my legs, so I have legs. I tried to see my eyes and couldn’t, so I have no eyes”? That would be wrong. When you look into a mirror, you can see the reflection of your eyes. Similarly, idols are reflections of God. Here is a garland of roses. If you ask what flower it is, one can tell its name. If you ask its color, one can describe it. If you ask where it is found, one can answer that too. But if you ask how it smells, the only answer is: “Smell it and know.” Likewise, if you ask what God is like, the only answer is: “Experience it and know.” #Brahmin_Genes #Deva_Political_Party #Self_Sustaining_Families #GC_Voices #Brahmin_History #SaiSudhaDevaTrust #DevaJobPortal #SaiDevGroup #Brahmin_Political_Party #GenNextDigital
