tomorrow? (3) Why are you not attaining the things desired by you? (4) What is the purpose of the
Strangeness of things ? *10* If you have faith in the existence of
religion, but you have doubts in its fundamental principles, then I suggest
the following: - *11* Equnimity, oneness towards all
creatures. *12* Or not to deprive any living being of
LIFE; do not extract work from it
beyond its capacity. *13* Orthe path trodden by the saints. *14* Follow pure religion by thinking and
understanding its motive and considering that there is no difference in the basic principles. The difference
exists only in perception. *15* | am not partial to any religion. You
may follow whatever religion you like. (The purport behind what I am saying is,) follow that religion and see that your devotion and conduct are capable of eradicating the worldly filth.
