Commercialization at its heights

Had been to the Tirupathi over the weekend. All my life I have been taught that offering prayers are free. If one gets to see the politics there, its a pity. A simple example is if a person buys the normal 50/- ticket he has to wait for 24 hrs to get the Lords darshan (very much acceptable given the number of devotees pouring in). However another guy comes there with a letter from some MLA and dashes into the temple and finishes his darshan within minutes. I do not understand this discrimination. Do we need to be influential with mortals to get a chance to see GOD?

High time to ponder over this...
