why-are-rituals-meaningful

Rituals are to time as rooms are to an apartment. They make time accessible like a house. They organise time, arrange it. In this way you make time appear meaningful.

My thoughts

I have often wondered about rituals in India, especially the rituals in a place of worship. The sounds we make, the fruits we offer, the fasts we keep, the outfits we wear, the chants we do, the reverence we give to elders.
