highest spiritual result definitely if you feel like that and after feeling this way if your intellect does not like to refer it to any worldly saying or any scriptural saying to test its authenticity, and supposing it behaves in that way, if you feel that such of its behaviour is only due to delusion or illusion, or if you think of reflecting my sentence by all sorts of patience then I desire to write to you. I still feel more important to write to you about the brief spiritual decision. But my mind does not behave as free and so whatever I have written to you here, you firmly accept as true and proceed accordingly.

All worldly entanglements must be removed at all cost. But if such engagement is designed for gaining spiritual contact with saints or the mental state feels any possiblity of it then the engagement is worth doing for your good.
Free salutations to you.

In these times more living beings are guided by their strong desire for acquiring the objects of five senses such as sound etc. and therefore they behave as more unsettled and ruffled and they are many in number and so this period is called difficult Kaliyuga.
