Many among us sometimes feel frustrated that after carrying out various religious exercises (like Pujas and expiatory rites) to ward off evil and overcome problems,by chanting the Vedic mantras, we do not achieve the desired results.On the contrary,the results may be adverse.A little self-introspection will help us locate the fault.
Our Sages and forbears chanted the Vedic mantras themselves with perfection,pronouncing the syllables without flaw.The mantras,which are potent,will fetch the fruits only if the recitors strictly adhere to tradition.Many not only fail to utter them properly themselves,but prefer to engage priests paying them a little money.They neither care to conduct the Pujas nor adhere to vedic Injunctions with faith and devotion,without which nothing can be achieved.Often people speak of lack of time to learn the Vedic mantras.Self-introspection will reveal how they spend hours on worldly activities after office work.
Sri Bharathi Thirtha of Sringeri sarada Peetam, pointed out that strangely people feel they have no time to carry out even the minimal daily spiritual exercises."Every one should remember that he causes his own good or bad, herein and hereafter".Every action causes reaction,and so one's elevation is in his own hands.Sages who were patient and persevering, maintained their equanimity and did not show their malice towards even those who wronged them,though they possessed the power to destroy them.
They did their penance with sincerity and faith.But the patience and perseverance of present day people were born out of "Weakness"; their claim to equanimity was due to compulsion.
