________________ care has to be taken to grow them. First, the seeds have to be sown. Then, the plant has to be carefully nurtured so that we can enjoy the beauty of the roses as well as their fragrance. The same law applies to virtues and vices in human life. 'Sadguno no niyam chhe, ene ugadva j pade... ane durguno no niyam chhe... ene kain na karo to pan ugya vina rahe nahin!' The law of virtues is that they have to be planted and nurtured... and the law of vices is that, without any effort, they grow and keep multiplying! Good qualities have to be planted and nurtured, whereas bad qualities breed on their own. An individual can never remain quiet and peaceful during leisurely hours. The moment a person is free, negative thoughts capture him. An idle mind is a devil's workshop! One will have to learn to grow roses of spirituality when the inner self is clean and clear, otherwise, it will not take long for babul plants(vices) to occupy this sacred place (soul). Only when the 'false' is removed, can the 'real' acquire its place! Only when one uproots one's vices, can one sow the seeds of good qualities! 132U
