this 'Langot' is to be preserved on the body. He thinks whether a newly born baby does have any Langot? The reply is No. But when some defect creeps up in that child, he needs a cover or a Langot. If the heart is pure and pious and without passions, then this cover is not at all required. Thinking deeply on this question, ultimately he accepts the Nirgrantha form, which is totally natural, innocent and the simplest form of a man, who becomes desireless, passionless both internally and externally.
Just as there is no friend or enemy in the eyes of God, the Almighty, there is also no friend, no enemy, no relative and no worldly attachment for such a man, who has adopted absolute nakedness. Only when engrossed with the worldly possessions and needs, a man may think or feel goodness or evilness in some objects. A man habitually accepts a thing which appears good to him and disregards that which appears bad to him. This gives rise to attachment or denunciation in the man. This is the greatest defect from which a man is always mentally worried and puzzled. But when he adopts absolute nakedness, then all feelings, of good, evil anger pride and wickedness, do not get a place in his mind. No doubt, he admits a nectar, milk or water, as they are, but the thoughts of good or bad do not find any place in his mental thinking. On the other hand, he realises that every product milk, water, nectar or poison does their own work according to their nature and hence the feelings of goodness or badness can not be established in them. Then why should he, unnecessarily involve himself in various resolutions, alternatives or options, Every substance is revolving in its natural process of attribute. None has the power to influence the naturalness of another substance. Hence why should there be a flattery of one man or why the other man is to be discouraged or disappointed. Thus discarding all mental resolutions, options or alternatives, he indulges himself in the realisation of SELF through contemplation and meditation of the inner soul and tries his utmost to get spiritual realisation. This is all about the Eleventh Pratimadhari.
