You can achieve almost anything you want in life if you learn to master one thing: Shame. That fear of looking stupid. Fear of being judged. Fear of trying and failing in public.

I am an atheist.
I see Vedic chants as blabber.
I consider rituals like homa and havan to be fraud.

That does not mean I believe in them. I do it out of social obligation.
I would go to a church or a mosque as well, if it matters to people close to me.
