Guest guest Posted August 14, 2001 Report Share Posted August 14, 2001 Verse 8 Aranye na vaa swasya gehe na kaarye Nadehe mano vartate me tvamarghye / Guroranghripadme manashchenna lagnam Taatah kim? Taatah kim? Taatah kim? Taatah kim? // Some say they have no desire to go to forests or stay at home and no interest in any affair and even in their own body. Most of the like, while expressing lack of interest in worldy things, wish that their house should fetch a decent value in sale. Such people are utterly useless for anything. But there are a few who are capable of leaving anything in a trice. Such fortunate people are very rare. But even they are besieged by an evil spirit, for they do not have faith in Guru. They don't take initiation from Guru and memorize the essence of Guru. Indeed, sacrifice or detachment is very difficult to practice. Just as charity for wealth and humility for education are difficult, the sacrifice or detachment is the most difficult thing. The Guru tries hard to get you rid of everything one by one. That is very difficult. In such a case, when one gets the virtue of sacrifice very easily, how fortunate he is! But if he does not have his attention fixed upon the initiation of Guru, even that sacrifice is a waste and it becomes counterfeit.
