Spirituality

Many of us follow some form of spiritual practice. It may be in the form of rituals, poojas, visiting places of worship, meditation, etc. Some of us have spiritual gurus or guides or teachers to guide us. But......why is it that we suffer from so many maladies of life??????? hmmmmm........it needs pondering.......Let me narrate an anecdote. A person visits a doctor to get a cure for his physical ailment. He goes there and he is so impressed by the doctor's diagnosis and his prescription that he comes back, totally in awe of the doctor. He tells everyone who crosses his path that his doctor is the best. Many days pass by, but his illness has not been cured. He has only glorified the doctor, but has failed to take the medicine. Does this sound familiar with many of us?????????
