Our eyes and ears by themselves are not the right equipment. In the same way, our five senses are not the right equipment to see or experience the spiritual waves working in nature when we pray the Kusti prayer. But that does not mean that the Kusti prayer is an exercise in futility. It is certainly not a meaningless exercise to be mechanically performed, with wandering thoughts flowing in our mind. It is a serious and important event that puts us in ritual contact with Ahura Mazda.
Communication is important in every field of life.
From the humble carrier pigeon to the satellite telephone and E-mail technology, communication has come a long way. As soon as we leave our headquarters and go somewhere, we need to communicate. When a plane takes off, the pilot is in constant communication with the ground control stations till he lands. Today, mobile phones are not a luxury or a status symbol any more. When we get up in the morning or go to the toilet, we are physically and ritually impure.
