Rohineya remembered these words of the Lord relating to the features and qualities of divine beings. He could not find any of those features in the beautiful ladies around him. He found out that the drama was being enacted only to make him confess his crime. At once, he became cautious and said, “I have done only good deeds in my life and I have attained this heaven. I have not committed any sins”. The result was he was released. On returning home, he began to think of what had happened. He realized that if a few words of the Lord could help him to save his life, he would have got a greater benefit if he had heard the entire discourse. In consequence, a great transformation took place in him and he was successful in attaining spiritual elevation. Everyone who has attained self-realization, knows that he should use his ears to hear such sacred words. Whatever words we hear, enter our minds and remain there latent; but potent; and when a necessity arises, they manifest themselves. On account of this, we can make or mar our future.
