SUPERSTITION
"Get rid of your doubts and superstitions.
Guru Ramdas Ji 1534-1581
Superstition is merely an extension of one's own insecurities. Do not look for answers in superstitious stories or rituals. These will only increase your own dependence in these false ideals. Realise the importance of yourself being and learn to take the good with the bad.
Superstition or ritualistic acts are not the cure. These make our mind weaker. Our mind tricks us in to finding the answer through these acts.
There are many people from various different faiths, in which are very superstitious and place great faith in ritualism. These acts will never bring us peace, contentment or happiness. Ritualistic acts are a form of ego for those who think they have a faith. By committing these acts they believe they have the right to be better than others. This only brings sorrow to the soul and mind, as it's true nature is only to love. Superstition will only bring hurt. It's a negative state of mind and should be avoided altogether.
There is only one cure, and that is the cure of naam meditation. This beautiful cure rids us of all rituals and superstitions. Our mind becomes more open and accepting to the wider world. It becomes much more relaxed. It's not affected by nothing worldly, when controlled by the naam mantra.
So if you are leading a life full of rituals and superstitious practices. Stop and think, what is the true meaning of this practice and how will it help you progress further spiritually.
The answer is it won't!!
Guru Ramdas Ji Says, "Practicing hypocrisy and superstition, people have grown weary of the effort, but still, deep within their hearts, they yearn for Maya (materialistic pleasure)."
Vaheguroo!
