WORRIES OF FUTURE
Gurudev!, As I remember my filthy past life, I feel giddy and ashamed and my heart-beats increase. O Soul!, what will be your future? You have committed huge amount of sins for enjoying a few moments. How will you withstand the consequences of these sins which are going to come in vast numbers? You can't even tolerate a slight rise in the temperature and turn on air conditioner, then how will you tolerate unbearable heat of the furnace of hell where iron also liquifies? How will you tolerate or deal with demons who will roast you like corn flakes? Being restless and planning violent struggles to'escape, you will have to face bitter words of demons instead of consolation. They will say, “Let's enjoy now. You were told by Gurudev, be a vegetarian. At that time you replied saying, Who knows about hell or heaven? You were eating fishes and other creatures by boiling them. Now see what happens to you”, saying this, they will fry me in hot liquified lead and pour the same in my mouth. At that time, nobody will listen to my misery or pain. What will happen to me Gurudev? And this is not enough, demons
