Glimpses of Sentiments
But you forgot to worship with sentiments of wonder, praise and respectfully. On occasions you did serve the great people, obliging people but by that instead of cultivating humility, you only nourished ego, false pride. Many a times you repented for the sins but you did not leave partiality of the sins. In a snake, you saw the death coming but in sins you just could not see death. You performed intensive penance but you could not leave instinct of eating You worshipped several times; you could not cultivate worshipping feelings. If you had to leave cruelty, you left but the feeling of cruelty, you could not leave. At times, you started 'SADHANA' with a definite goal, you also took 'DIKSHA' but afterwards the goal got changed. In this manner while marching forward you remained far, far · behind.
