HINDUS can mug nething!!!

A MAN reciting hanuman chalisa, his 3 year old kid interrupts, "dad what does it mean"...
The father befudled, falling short of words answers, "beta its hanuman chalisa... nd its supposed to b like this... its gt no specific meaning... its supposed be said like this"
I happen to overhear and my thoughts were like...
WOW!!!!!!!
What a REVELATION.... a man whose is nearly 35 yrs old... has been reciting this spiritual POEM in a hope that probably GOD will be so damn happy by this exercise of uselessly repeating those verses everyday!!!
What a futile attempt man... n m sure 90 percent of those who proudly repeat the very holy poems and songs everyday, do it as an exercise to please some GOD of their choice without even knowing the meaning of their useless blabbering and also the very purpose of their(the poems, verses) creation.
For GOD's sake they have NOT been created so that u can chant them everyday n some one will listen to them n make u happy...
No dudes(and dudettes also for that matter)!!!
All these creations HAVE a purpose... if i gt into a philosophical discussion i would exhaust pages n pages over it n m sure most of u r TOOOOOOOO INTELLIGENT to understand it... but in short all i cn say is that all of them are made up of beautiful words and they have such meanings attached to them, that understanding them and repeating them with concentration, knowing every word of what u r saying, calms ur senses and brings peace to ur mind and soul...
A few words like RAM n OM are supposed to wake each nerve of ur body nd its all biology... google if u don't believe this... its nt like someone is listening to u n if u LAMELY recite all this some miracle would happen by mere recitation n ur world will change...
FOR once GROW UP n realise that of course there is GOD, there is destiny, BUT, BUT, BUT, this literature is not a short cut to gt ur way through... understand it and use it the way it is supposed to be...
people of very high INTELLECT and advanced KNOWLEDGE(scientifically as well) have created them... ofcourse not to be used as lamely as most of us do...
understand them n u'll see just by mere understanding of those lines can make u feel positive n thus make things better for you... they are not created for God people... they are created for YOU!!!
Of course i can't narrate all hindu literature in this space, but i'm sure, most of u chant hanuman chalisa once in a while... so m putting a very crisp meaning of it across...

varanaun raghuvara vimala yasa, yo dayaka phala chara

rama laskmana sita sahita hridaya basahu sura bhupa
