worries. There is total relief from all worries and in this life that is totally relieved from all worldly concerns, one can engage onesef in constant spiritual propensities and activities. Engagement in a life of total relief! The life of a householder is replete with mundane concerns. How can there be any spiritual propensities and engagements in that life? In that life there is only a relief from spiritual activities !
My opinion is that you must choose the Sadhudharma. If in this human existence, you live according to Sadhudharma, your life would be fruitful. You would have made the right use of the human life which is difficult to attain. Surrender your life and all that is yours at the feet of the Gurudev, render a heartfelt salutation to him and worship him with devotion. If you do so, you will not have any worry. The Gurudev will take care of you and will think for you. Your duty is to live at his feet. The Gurudev can also do several other things for you. You must have only one bondage namely the duty of acting according to the Gurudev's commandments. There are countless bondages in the life of grihasta, in samsar but the life of a sadhu is free from all the bondages.

That will be right. Is that not so ?
From the Audience: If we go home and begin a discussion on these matters with the members of our family, they will surely take us to the mental hospital.
Maharajashri : The meaning of this is until today such discussions have not taken place in your houses. Is it not true? Then do you always discuss in your houses, matters relating only to worldly life ? Are you afraid of even talking about Sadhudharma ? Do discussions relating to the Sadhudharma
