Foolish Temple. Foolish Devotees.

Foolish Temple. Foolish Devotees. In India, Hindu fanatics today defied civil sense and a court order to offer a symbolic prayer at Ayodhya (link to CNN story). I am reminded of a beautiful poem by Dinakara Desai. Building a temple for the Lord? Hmm. I see that you are. You foolish one! You think you can contain the Lord in your four walls? Can you build a wall around the universe for the Omnipresent?! You foolish one thinks the Lord is needier than fellow poor man?! (The Complete text in Kannada Language.)
