disappointment. It is very difficult to remain unattached - vitarag in the worldly life. It is because I have the skill of knowledge and the skill of intellect that I am able to remain vitarag. (123)
Once I incurred a loss in our business. This was before I attained Self-realization. At that time I was so anxiety-ridden that I could not sleep at night. The answer to my problems eventually came from within. I asked myself who else besides me was worrying about this loss? I felt that I was probably the only one doing so. My partner may not have been worrying at all; I must be the only one. The wives and children were also partners but they were unaware of this loss. Despite the fact that they were unaware of the loss, their lives were still going on. I was the only senseless one worrying about it! When I realized this I came to my senses. The worrying stopped.

Why are you stuck in the same corner as everyone else? You should walk in the opposite direction from everyone else. People will ask for profit, you should say "Let there be a loss'; the one who looks for a loss will never have to worry. The ones who are looking for a profit will always have worries but not the ones looking for a loss. This I guarantee you.
even if we made a profit of one hundred thousand rupees. In the end even if we had enough to pay taxes and the daily expenses and broke even, that would be adequate profit. The profit would be of around three hundred thousand. This would keep the mind satisfied and content because we made way more profit than was expected. Here people expect a profit of forty thousand and get only twenty. Surely they are bound to be unhappy! (128)
All businesses have two sons, one's name is profit and the other's name is loss. No one likes the son named loss, but nevertheless both will be there. They will always be born. If your business is experiencing a loss, does that happen during the day or night? (129)

Dadashree: But shouldn't a loss only occur during the day? If a loss also occurs at night, how can it occur while we are asleep? This proves that it is really not under our control, otherwise why would the loss occur at night and for that matter how can you make a profit at night? Do you not incur a loss even when you work hard?
When people set up a business they look for profit. They will say we are guaranteed a profit of twenty-four thousand in this project. Now when they forecast these figures, they do not take into account changes in circumstances. They never deduct the losses from such events.
You may put in a lot of hard work in business or looking for a job and you keep your eye on everything from all directions and still if you get nothing in return, you have to understand that your circumstances are not favorable. Now in such circumstances, if you were to push yourself a little harder, you will incur even a greater loss. Instead you should concentrate on doing something for your soul. It is because you have neglected to do so in your past life that you are facing such difficulties in this life. It is a different matter if you have already attained Self-realization, but even the people who do not have this Gnan eventually leave everything up to God, do they not? What do they do? Whatever God does is
I have been a contractor all my life and have been involved in all kinds of contracts. Amongst such contracts, we have even built jetties in the sea. Let me tell you what I used to do in beginning. Wherever there was a scope of making a profit of five hundred thousand rupees, I used to say to myself that it would enough
