1		Teertham Kanishtam, Bhakti Madhyamum, Gyanam Utammam	This aphorism enunciates in a gist, the whole complex matter of religious pursuits! That is going on a pilgrimage is of ordinary importance. To be engaged in an elaborate Pooja based on Bhakti (Faith/belief) is of middle order importance. BUT, realizing the TRUTH (Gyanam) is of extraordinary consequence!" The above maxim throws a searching powerful light of clarity, into the otherwise obscure depths of spiritual challenge. Not that going on a pilgrimage and the faith based devotion and worship have to be high-handedly shunned. But a Sadhak needs to know about oneself, whether he/she is making the appropriate progress in their spiritual endeavor, OR they are simply stuck on the way stagnated and stunted. Every step is very important in the religious undertaking, provided one is making progress towards realizing the TRUTH obscured by the hypnotic self-identity! Any step on the path of spiritual quest, if it becomes a compulsive habit providing only a sense of security and a pleasure-movement for oneself, then surely that step ceases to be a STEP. It has become a hindering hurdle. A sincere Sadhak should candidly recognize this fact. A STEP SHOULD NOT TURN INTO A TRAP! One should be keenly watchful of all feel good sensations. It is only our sense of ego craves and also gets these sensations.
