Ritual Worships Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

I worship God, who protects me.
I worship God, who favours me.
I worship lest He'd be angry.
Worships are clothed with rituals.

Ritual worships might engender
A sense of awe at the Supreme.
Donations to temples might help
The temples for their upkeep.

God demands from you no worships.
God needs from you no bribery.
He commands no validation
And will not act as your agent.

Rituals are flaunting one's wealth.
Worships san rituals aren't mean.
It is worship that causes bliss
And promotes peace and harmony.

Worship must refine your all thoughts
Worships must get you rid of hates.
Worship benefits you and not God.
Be good, which itself is worship.
