Dear Chris,

While I agree with your explanation, I think the verse is also

actually saying that by reciting in a confused place, one receives

confused fruit and in this sense is referring to our surroundings.

In observng Gurujis, they always, at all times keep their areas of

worship clean and tidy. After every puja, Maa and Swamiji put away

their asans and all articles used in worship in a very tidy manner.

In many of the stories on Swamiji's journey to That place, there is

always reference to personal hygiene and preparation of the area and

utensils for worship.

Once I visited the Mandir and after satsangha, Maa was sitting talking

to Her children and in making the point of keeping your (generalizing

here) surrounding clean for the invited guest, She said, we all make

the areas that can be seen tidy but what about where we think others

would not see? Are your cupboards tidy? The words echoed

in my mind like a bell, I sat up and held my head down at one go, for

I had arrived at the Mandir only the day before and prior to leaving

house, had cleaned from top to bottom of almost the entire house only

the food and bathroom cupboards were left for my return. Since then

I never, visit Maa without ensuring that my cupboards too are tidy.

Journey to me in this sense also signifies the path, constant repetition.

Jai Maa!

On theone hand, it says that by reciting in a confused place, one

receivesconfused fruit, which seems straightforward until one gets to

the restof the verse which describes three potentially confusing

situations,and then says to recite in any limitation. The verse seems

tocontradict itself.Then I realized, as I discussed in my post on the

previous verse, thatthe confusion resides only in the reciter. No

place is inherentlyconfusing. Even the confusion of a battle is a fit

place forrecitation, without confusion.So, what this verse is really

telling us is to cultivatenonattachment. View the world around you,

and your circumstances, withequanimity, and with a one-pointed mind,

recite the Guru Gita. Withoutpurity of mind and intention, the

recitation will not produce pure fruit.Jai Maa!Chris--- In

In fact in the book The Sadhu Sahib is a story about this. Swmiji

cleaned the place . This was his puja in the Devaloka Ashram. Jai

Swamiji! Jai Maa!
