question why does God favor the wealthy by meeting them quickly in the temple and make the poor stand in a long queue answer God is not partial God is reciprocal and he reciprocates with the devotion of one’s heart, meeting God is not just something that happens only in the few moments when we are in front of him taking darshan, meeting God happens when we are meditating on him whether we are in the queue to take darshan or whether we are in front of him taking darshan or we are leaving with our heart filled with remembrance of him, so the important thing is to offer our devotion to God and if we are offering our devotion we are getting his reciprocation so now depending on what people have they will use that in God’s service and God accepts that so if some people have more money then they can offer that money in God’s service and in a temple there has to be some sort of structure for facilitating people’s movement forward, so people who have more money they may feel that they have less time and so they may pay more money and go in front of God and take darshan first now that does not mean that just because they have gone quickly or they have gone first that means that they are going to get more mercy of God the mercy that God gives them will depend on their attitude on their devotion so now those who don’t have that much money they can offer what they have they have time, they offer more time to God and God will appreciate that so we shouldn’t think that the benefit of going to the temple depends on how much movements we get to stand in front of the deity, it depends on how much we are offering to God, whatever we have, so every moment that we spend in the queue we may not be seeing God but God is seeing us and he is appreciating the devotion that is expressed through offering that time to him if while we are standing in the queue and we are resenting why do I have to spend so much time and those wealthy people are going quickly then we will not make much get much benefit either by standing in the queue or even by going in front of God and taking his darshan also so it depends on a devotional disposition, in contrast if a wealthy person goes in front quickly and thinks I have so much money and so I get to see God quickly, then that person may go in front of the deity of God quickly but that person will not get much benefit, so we should not restrict the idea of getting the darshan of God or getting his grace only to the few moments when we are in front of him in the deity form, rather it depends on our attitude to serve and we can serve with whatever resources we have and God sees our service attitude, so if we offer him time, he appreciates that if we offer him money, he appreciates that and whom he blesses depends not on who comes first to him but on who comes with what attitude to him, so different people may be having different financial situations, some may be wealthy, some may be poor but God allows everyone to approach him and he accepts their prayers and he gives their blessings to everyone but in this world where things are limited, where the space in the temple is limited where the number of people who can go in the temple hall is limited at a particular time, there may be arrangements made by which some people can go faster, some people can go closer that is a limitation of the temple structure and of the limited material limited nature of material things but that does not limit God’s grace and rather than focusing on these externals we should focus on the principle of reciprocation between God and us and with the right attitude get his full blessings which are available to everyone be they wealthy or be they poor Thank you.
