If Shiva Bhagawan were to appear before me right now and tell me to shave
on Tuesdays, I'd tell Him "Sorry Bhagawan your shastras forbid it." In
certain situations what God thinks or does doesn't enter into the picture
because those thoughts and actions have been delegated to the true and
unbroken parampara of Acharyas. Ancestry, tradition, community and
continuity are everything. They are certainly more important than the
desires of a single person no matter how sincere they are.
