________________ One who likes Parmatma becomes indifferent and apathetic to the worldly pleasures! A blind man may eat anything given to him, even if it is a bowl of sweet dish(kheer)vomited by another person, because he does not know the truth. But, will a person who can see, eat the kheer vomited by another? NO! Often, people ask, "Maharaj Saheb, you have renounced the world. Do you sometimes feel like watching television or enjoying other worldly pleasures?" The answer of a true ascetic would be, "After enjoying worldly pleasures, we have realized that this sweet world is filled with poison, hence, we have abandoned it. Is it possible for us to once again accept anything that we have already discarded from our lives?" Only those who do not know that the bowl is filled with vomit, will lick it. Similarly, when one develops intense love for Parmatma, has ingrained the name of Parmatma in his soul and heart and gains knowledge like Parmatma, he realizes, that this world is like a cup of poison. Assume that a lady has an infectious boil filled with pus in her hand and is making laddoos(Indian sweet)using her hands. How will those laddoos taste? Strangers will relish those laddoos, but one who has seen her boil will not even feel like looking at or touching them, = 35 =
