________________ One who is efficient in uprooting, but fails to sow new seeds or plant new trees wastes his energy and effort only in uprooting, without any desirable gain! Whereas, if one uproots and plants simultaneously, the ground will be transformed into a lush green garden... a blossoming garden which is a treat to our eyes. When we fast, we uproot wild plants and remove all the weeds, but the following day, we again sow the seeds of wild plants by eating, in fact, relishing the puri and raab (i.e strong desire to eat at the time of ending the fast). We have learnt to uproot and turn-off the switch, but the following day, we have a strong desire to eat... not only to eat to satisfy our hunger... but an urge to satisfy our taste buds... relish the finest foods... why? 'Vartan sudhari jay chhe pan valan nu shuddhikaran thatu nathi!' Our behaviour improves, but the predisposition of the mind has not yet purified... it is as perverse as ever! There is just one law for internal purification. With purification, if there is no accomplishment, then, purity does not last. With purification, accomplishment is a necessity, and with accomplishment, purification is a necessity. 'Shuddhi ni sathe Siddhi joie ane Siddhi ni sathe Shuddhi joie!' 133 -
