Why ablution-is-the-need...?
Vipul some of your friends have asked you why ablution-is-the-need .....?
i will take my freedom to answer this question hope you wont deny to your "Self"
The word ablution find its origin from a latin word abluere which means to wash away.
Basically it means the washing of one's body part or part of it (as in a religious rite)
Ablution was practised
(1.) When a person was initiated into a higher state.
(2.) Before the priests approached the altar of God, they were required,on pain of death, to wash their hands and their feet to cleanse them from the soil of common life.
(3.) There were washings prescribed for the purpose of cleansing from positive defilement contracted by particular acts.
(4.) A fourth class of ablutions is mentioned, by which a person purified or absolved himself from the guilt of some particular act.
For example, the elders of the nearest village where some murder was committed were required, when the murderer was unknown, to wash their hands over the expiatory heifer which was beheaded, and in doing so to say, "Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it" . So also Pilate declared himself innocentof the blood of Jesus by washing his hands. This act of Pilate may not, however, have been borrowed from the custom of the Jews. The same practice was common among the Greeks and Romans. The Pharisees carried the practice of ablution to great excess, thereby claiming extraordinary purity .The Pharisees washed their hands "oft," more correctly, "with the fist" , or as an oldfather, Theophylact, explains it, "up to the elbow."
Through this Blog Vipul takes an initiative to clean his soul from the gulits and Sins before he initiate into a higher state by making a confession about it. He thinks that, this is what every one on this earth is in need of, an ablution, therefore the "ablution-is-the-need" .
