________________ When one develops a longing for Parmatma, he will no longer strive for worldly pleasures. O Parmatma ! Just as a piece of old dirty cloth cannot be cleaned by a small quantity of soap, similarly, by listening to the preachings of a learned ascetic only once, or by reading only a little, we will not be able to eliminate anger, desire, deceit and greed which have been embedded within us since several lifetimes. But, if we are genuinely determined to clean the polluted layers covering our soul, then, someday, we will succeed in eradicating these vices from our lives. Only when we realize that our soul is covered by polluted layers, will we someday attempt to cleanse them. We may not be very successful initially. We may try once, twice or maybe, numerous times. Eventually, our soul will surely become free from all the layers of vices and negative feelings and will emerge as its original self- bright and glowing like snow, exquisite, beautiful and magnificent. It may seem impure today, but one must always remember that it is not true, for a soul is too pure and too unique to be changed by any external object. It temporarily gets layered by sins. Its original self forever remains the same and will always remain the same - powerful, pure and knowledgeable. Thus, the truth that has to be understood here is that, a soul is eternal but its sins are not eternal.
