Was at a small temple today. As is the case these days, only limited crowd. A discourse was being aired and heard through the speakers inside.
At one point, the voice said that he knew persons who, despite wearing masks and adhering to prescribed protocols, were infected by Covid-19. He added that he also knew persons who are still unaffected, in spite of being brazen about not following health rules of the times.
And then he said: "Faith in God works in a similar way. Sometimes one's best prayers may not yield what one desired for. One may get what one wished for too even without fervent pleas to the God.
This does not prove that there is no God or a super power. Just as science is not to blame in the previous case. Not everything in life will always be logical. Many things exist beyond rational explanations."
And finally he said: "Continue to wear masks. Continue to have faith in God. It is not contradictory. Do what you have to do. That is the important thing."
Interesting analogy.
