Guest guest Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Dear Family, Namaste! Verse 4 contains the following instructions: 1. Take the cure for the illness of uncontrolled desire 2. Serve your doctor as a beggar would serve a Lord 3. Don't seek the associations of pleasure seekers or self-centered individuals. 4. Remain contented with whatever you receive in a divine union, that which God has consented to give. 5. Remain the same while undergoing all the pairs of opposites like hot and cold, pleasure and pain, and don't give expression to worthless speech 6. Carry yourself as a great renunciate. 7. Don't look to get grace from other men 8. Don't seek to obtain something from men. Swamiji in a satsang about Sadhana Panchakam interpreted the doctor in verse 2 as your Guru. It reminds me of the Guru Gita. We should serve the Guru with no feeling of shame. Instructions 1, and 4-8 all speak about renunciation, reducing our material desires. Only desire God! Please do contribute! with love and prayers, srini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
