DISCOURSE 56 WHO SAVED THEM ?
Question : How can we entertain only noble and pure thoughts and feelings? When I see the dress and decorations of the girls who work in my office, my mind becomes polluted.
Maharajashri : That is why I exhort you not to work in those places where your character and purity are in danger. You must become cautious as soon as you become attracted by other women because some girls who come to work in offices etc. ensnare some men in order to get some extra income. Under the pretext of friendship illicit intimacy develops and some day such people will fall into the pit of ruin and destruction. Some working women and girls wear such dress and decorations as would attract the eyes of others. The norms of decency and right conduct are beyond the pale of their thought and imagination. They carry contraceptives too in their purses; and yet if they become pregnant, they do not consider it a sin to take recourse to an artificial abortion. They do not hesitate to slay the embryo with a cruel heart. Unfortunately, some women and girls of our society tread upon this ignoble path. Who can save them? No one can save those people who care only for physical and materialistic pleasures and delights. Nobody can save those who want to be plunged into the sea of misery.
What kind of dress is worn by those who want to save themselves from evil; and who have a strong desire to be saved from evil ? With what kind of people do they develop intimacy?

This body is perishable. I am imperishable”. In the body there are countless aberrations. I am above such aberrations.” Do you think thus at any time? Such thoughts
