No doubt, they are sacred activities and one may undertake them. But it is very essential to recognise the principle of unity. You are ready to believe those who put you on the wrong path. But you don't believe those who tell you the right path. This is the impact of Kali Age and the result of modern education.
Modern education is limited only to bookish knowledge which is nothing but superficial knowledge.
There is one book that you have to study and that is this world. Instead of learning lessons from this big book of the world, you are confining yourself to your small textbooks. Do not be satisfied with mere bookish knowledge. Try to acquire practical knowledge. Only then will your life find fulfilment.
