But a man's true nature is known from the manner in which he does his insignificant daily task. 22. Just as clouds are blown away by the wind, so the thirst for material pleasure will be driven away by the utterance of the Lord's name. 23. The injunctions of Destiny are cancelled if one takes refuge in God. Destiny has to strike off with her own hand what she has decreed about such a person. 24. One must not speak unpleasant truths un-necessarily. By indulging in rude words one's ntaure becomes rude. One loses sensitivity without control over one's words. 25. First offer to God whatever you eat. One must not eat unoffered food. As your food is, so will be your blood. 26. An unmarried person is half-free, whether he prays to God or not. He will advance towards Him with rapid strides when he feels a little drawn towards Him. 27. One must experience the effect of past action ... None can escape it. But japa minimises its intensity. 28. If you love a human being, you will have to suffer for it. He is blessed, indeed, who can love God alone. There is no suffering in loving God. 29. If you practise spiritual discipline for some time in a solitary place, you will find that your mind has become strong, and then you can live in any place or society without being in the least affected by it. 30. One should not trifle with a thing, though it may be very insignificant. If you respect a thing, the thing also respects you. Even a broomstick should be treated with respect. One should perform even an insignificant work with respect. Contd.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
