Rituals of pooja, rituals of mala, rituals of mantra;
All are fine till they help, even may be pooja of yantra.
But the moment they bind, involved into right and wrong;
Then forget you do the goal, only get involved in rituals, that is wrong.
Purity of heart, clarity of thoughts is what matters;
Direct connection to lord, is what matters.
No ritual without emotion will help, no jaap without bhaav will help;
And when right bhaav, then even mantra will help.
Abhishek, chandan, kesar, dhoop; without bhaav have no meaning;
And observing others whether they do right way has no meaning.
When lose you do your senses in bhaav, then idol worship becomes ideal worship;
What is important is your bhaav, not the way rituals are to be worshipped.
