Some people ask:
"I don’t worship my kula deivam. I don’t perform rituals as my ancestors did. Yet, I seem to be living a better life. In fact, I am wealthier than those who continue their kula deivam worship. How is this possible?"
Maha Periyava once explained karma using the example of a bicycle, and the same can be applied here.
When you ride a bicycle, after pedalling for some time, the wheel continues to move even if you stop pedalling. You can still cover some distance without any effort because of the momentum you already built up.
This is your present life. You may not worship your kula deivam, but your ancestors did so sincerely and wholeheartedly.
The blessings and fruits of their devotion are what you are enjoying now. The “bicycle” is still moving because they pedalled hard for you.
But remember...no bicycle can keep moving forever without pedalling. Eventually, it slows down.
In the same way, if you do not continue your kula deivam worship, the blessings will diminish, and your children or grandchildren may suffer the loss.
So, the responsibility falls on you, not only to enjoy the smooth ride but also to “start pedalling” again.
Your worship today ensures that the cycle of blessings continues for future generations.
