## Kant Drishti: Such Knowledgeable Ones Are Exceptional - Others Cannot Follow.
(535) It is commendable, but to maintain such self-absorption in the householder stage is extremely difficult, indeed, it is a daunting task. It is easy to avoid stains in a clean room, but to remain spotless even while living in a charcoal room requires a unique level of effort and skill. However, it must be reiterated that such exceptional, supreme yogis are rare. A shining example of this can be found in the life story of the supremely accomplished Shrimad Rajchandraji. Despite being forced into worldly responsibilities by past karmic influences, he maintained an unwavering state of self-absorption.

Just as a child cannot walk in the shoes of a grown man, so too, ordinary humans cannot imitate the conduct of great sages. And to attempt to do so without the necessary qualifications will only lead to harm. As Shri Narsinh Mehta said:
"Those who merely sing our songs will only eat a lot of leftovers;
Those who understand and sing will reach the heavenly abode of Vaikuntha."
Therefore, only a rare few can traverse the narrow path, the one-step path, while the royal roads...
