________________ A new crop can grow in a field only after the land has been ploughed and cleaned. Similarly, one can imbibe a Guru's teachings only after he has clean sed himself by disclosing his vices, defects, mistakes and sin she has committed to his Guru with an open heart. If ghee is filled in a kerosene tin, it is bound to stink. The kerosene tin must be cleaned properly and dried in the sun for the smell to fade away before filling it with ghee. In the same way, until one empties and frees himself of vices and defects, one will not be able to fill oneself with the appreciation and essence of Parmatma. We must cleanse ourselves to be able to fill ourselves with Parmatma's preachings. Ifyou want to invite Parmatma into your heart, you will have to release all the poisonous pythons and snakes lying latent in your heart, and make way for Parmatma's auspicious entry. Is it right to place Parmatma with such poisonous entities? Pythons and Parmatma can never reside together. A saint and a devil can never live together. If there is a devil within you, then, even the divine words of a saint will be ineffective. What should be done under such circumstances? We will have to first begin with confession... "Oh! My revered Guru Bhagvant! I am disclosing everything before you." = 84 -
