God, the supreme wants His children to adhere to certain principles
of discipline; develop a sense dedication and devotion even to the
wrong causes; for, when wisdom dawns, of course at the end, the
transgressor -- defaulter, openly confessing, tread the righteous
path, strewn with lilies and roses that certainly coveys him to the
paradise of plenty of eternal beatitude. Sincerity pays, tenacity
wins and dedication succeeds to their own boundless satisfaction.
There are countless - instances of God's unqualified appreciation of
tenacity and : sincerity. Doesn't showering of boons on demons for
deep penance illustrate this? Although the instances are numerous
and beneficiaries are countless, there is nothing that greets the
mortal eyes standing in proof of gods rewarding the tenacity applied
to wrong cause or impudence persisted consistently. But the solitary
temple of Vaidyanath at Parli, perhaps the only one that is
perpetuating this truth. Here the Siva Linga bears on its head the
marks of impiety perpetrated by one pious but ignorant devotee, and
the Lord prefers to be called after the name of that devotee.
