Our Ganesh Chaturthi

Every year, my father's sweet shop does brisk business in the days preceding the Ganesh Chaturthi as an array of modaks and laddus gets sold in thousands. Also, the shop celebrates it's own Puja. 

"Why do we offer prayers to Ganeshji every year, Baba?", I ask my father innocently.
"Beta, He is the Vigneshwar, remover of obstacles."

I ask my Granny, "Dadi, if only I pray to Ganeshji, will He remove all obstacles from my path?"
She replies calmly, "Yes, dear. But this does not mean He magically erases difficulties. When you start cultivating intelligence, balance, and clarity, obstacles dissolve."
