austerities and atonements.
The maladies of the soul are treated by sadhus; and they will cure your soul of its maladies.
A SADHU IS ALSO A POSTMAN.
A sadhu goes to every house; and conveys to people the messages of Dharma. He goes to every house and inspires people to follow the path of Dharma. The sadhu who carries with him the message of Vitrag and who lives according to the commands of Vitrag is useful to people in every sphere of their life.
Until now, you have put forth countless endeavours to attain worldly prosperity. How long will you continue those endeavours ? When you have not attained felicity So far when will you attain it? Do not waste your time and energies over the world ; carry out endeavours for your spiritual progress.
NO END TO AVARICE :
A poet says, "Oh you soul! Remember how imperfect you are ! Though you have been thinking that the world belongs to you it has not become yours. You have tried to exercise your sway over heaven and hell. But, Oh You fool! Have you lost your senses? How full of greed you are for the objects of the samsar ! How changeful and vacillating your mind is !
If you get five lakhs you fust for ten lakhs. If you get fifty you just for a hundred. Thus your greed is limitless. It can never be gratified. We can satisfy our physical hunger, not our mental hunger for worldly things. The moment your thirst for worldly things ends, your thirst for self-realisation appears.
THE ABSENCE OF SENSE AND SELF-RESTRAINT :
Speech is the basis of our life and our activities.
