This is Titiksha, to bear everything, not to complain of anything. I

myself have seen men who say, " I am the soul; what is the universe to

me? Neither pleasure nor pain, nor virtue nor vice, nor heat nor cold

is anything to me. " That is Titiksha; not running after the enjoyments

of the body. What is religion? To pray, " Give me this and that " ?

Foolish ideas of religion! Those who believe them have no true idea of

God and soul. My Master used to say, " The vulture rise higher and

higher until he becomes a speck, but his eye is always on the piece of

rotten carrion on the earth. "

It is very easy to say that I am not the body, but I

am the soul. But in practice, most of the people are

given to temptations. So prayer, meditation and

humility are very essential for conquest of ego. We

have heard of sanyasins who thought that they would

never yield to carnal pleasures but in fact have

yielded after being sanyasins for a long time! IN

deed, it is challenge to go beyond senses. We need the

Lord's blessings.
