Answer
while we r shopping we r buying stuffs for our luxury and our satisfaction so we don't bother to spend but when we r in temple we hesitate because we know that god doesnot bless some one by how much Dakshina he has given.. and also we are giving the Rs 20 for some one elses benifit and not our own
In a place of worship the same rituals and the same prayers are recited again and again.. we get bored watching the same things again and again but each movie has a different story a different set of actors and actresses and thus it becomes interesting... people like to do new things and enjoy seeing new things in life than to do the same old stuff they have been doing..
while praying if someone has faith in God than surely he will find sufficient words to say to God.. but since no one has seen God but we can see our friends talking to our friends is easier than to God..
again the same answer goes for the books as that of watching movie and being in a holy place
i guess these sentences i have typed can be repeated for all the statements mentioned in the blog in different forms..
Yes sir one should agree with you, today's generation is somehow more leaned towards materialised life. Faith in god will be the biggest support for anyone in any critical condition but unfortunately, that is what today's generation is missing.
