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.
