Rituals and dogmas can never lead anyone to salvation. God is omniscient, he is within you and you cannot befool him with elaborated rituals. The doctrines of Clergy in every religion is nothing but a foolish act. That is Why Shri Gurunanak Dev went outside the temple of Puri after seeing that all the priests of the temple are just lost in the rituals. In this act they have forgotten the very essence of supreme soul. Standing outside the temple, he composed the “Aarti Sahib” for Thakurji;. He composed a masterpiece for “Shri Hari”. Here are the first few lines from the same masterpiece. It is sung in every Gurudwara on daily basis:
“The Sky is Your platter,
The sun and moon are the ‘Deepaks’ the lamps (lights),
The Stars in the sky are the pearls,
The ‘Dhoop’ (Incense) is the fragrance,
That the wind propels,
The whole forest is Your flowers.”
One cannot attain the supreme bliss if he or she is lost in rituals. Your body is a temple. Vices make it impure. You do not need extras to achieve the very simple thing which is inside you.
