We will take another worldly example for this. Once an old man who had faith in the formal ritual was offering something to his dead father on his death anniversary. A somewhat modernised young grandson of this old man approached the grandfather and ridiculed the old man for thinking that the offering would really reach his father and for his having such blind faith. The wise old man told the grandson that the power of the manthra was such that it would definitely convey the offering to the dead father and he also told him that this was really beyond the understanding of the common people as only those well-versed in such aspects of can appreciate this. This grandson was clever but was lacking in good qualities. He wanted to put his grandfather on the first floor of the house and see if the offering reached him when the manthra was recited. He asked his grandfather to go to the first floor and related the manthra while making the offering and asked him if the offering had reached him. When the grandfather said that the offering did not reach him, he began to argue that if with the help of the manthra, the offering could not even reach the first floor, how could it reach his grandfather’s father who was probably very far away in a distant world? The experienced grandfather then told him that the manthra which was recited was appropriate to a different world and asked how under these circumstances, could this be reaching the grandfather who was in the first floor of the same house. He further asked, if your father is resident in and if you write a letter to him and address it to , how can it reach him in ? is something which is related to the other world but the grandfather is sitting in the first floor of the same house and how can the offering reach him. Therefore, if you recite the appropriate manthra relevant to the place where you want the results to appear, surely there is no doubt that the result will appear, where it ought to appear. Even if you do not know the place where the offering has to reach and even if you are not acquainted with the person who is to carry the offering, there is no doubt that such persons whose duty it is to carry the offering to that place will be ready to do so.
