________________ You will neither be able to renounce the world nor live peacefully in it! Guru keeps uprooting us so that we do not bloom in the mundane worldly life. Anger, ego, illusion and greed are the four roots of the worldly tree. Guru uproots us along with the roots. So for one hour, that one listens to discourses or is a part of satsangh, one will not have any sense of pride nor will he get angry, one will not have affection or hatred towards anyone and will not cheat with anyone. During this blessed period one remains away from the above mentioned four Sins (four kashayas- attachment, hatred, ego and deceit). For one hour, you are completely engrossed in listening to the discourses and hence are uprooted from this worldly life - but once again, when the feelings of love and affection start raining, one merges into the worldly life. Again when one goes back to his routine life, he mingles with the mundane world and gets trapped in the cobweb of the materialistic world. Guru's task is to make one aware of the worthlessness of this materialistic mundane worldly life! When a person scorns his vices and does not like them, they are bound to reduce. One who feels that his anger or any other vice is not 108 -
