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 the
wisdom dawns, of course at the end, the transgressor, defaulter, openly
confessing treads the righteous path, strewn with lilies and roses that
certainly conveys 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 of
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 Sivalinga bears
on its head the marks of impiety perpetrated by one pious but perverted devotee,
and the Lord prefers to be called after the name of that devotee, converted in
the end.
