When it was time for her daughter's marriage, one woman made many elaborate arrangements for a smooth wedding ceremony. However, in the middle of the proceedings a cat ran out into the middle of the assembly."Oh no!" thought the mother. "What to do?" She spied a basket and promptly grabbed it, trapping the cat underneath. Relieved, they carried on the marriage ceremony undisturbed.
Some years later, when the bride was grown up and had her own family, it was time for her daughter's marriage ceremony. All elaborate arrangements were made, but the mother still felt something amiss. Then she remembered, "Ah, I remember that at my wedding my mother had a cat in a basket placed there." So she fetched a cat, put a basket on it and carried on the proceedings. And it became a tradition in that family!
Don’t follow anything blindly. When brain and eyes have been given by God, do use them. A religion without philosophy is just speculation. Due to a poor fund of knowledge, people accept certain theories as truth, but never stop to question, why those theories exist.Lord Krishna also advises to perform rituals/activities under the guidance of holy scriptures.(Tasmad Shastram pramanam Karya Akrya Vyavasthitho- B.G 16.24).So, know the reasons before you act!
