THERE SHOULD BE INWARD CONVICTION THAT THE WORLD IS ILLUSION.
IF THAT IS NOT ACHIEVED, WHAT IS THE USE OF BECOMING A RENUNCIATE (SANYASI)?
If you are fully aware that this illusory world is false, and you function in this world with detachment, what is wrong with that? That is really the greatest thing. You may be anywhere, at anytime, and you remain untainted by the world. Is it the case that only if you remain secluded in a room, or in the forest, you are a sage, and if you go out, you are not a sage? No, this is not the case. You must be inwardly detached.
ILLUSION (MAYA) ALWAYS TRIES TO MAKE YOU FORGET YOUR TRUE NATURE BY ADOPTING VARIOUS TRICKS.
YOU MUST ALWAYS BE ON YOUR GUARD.
YOU MAY BE LIVING IN COMFORT, BUT BE MENTALLY DETACHED.
ONE SHOULD REMAIN IN A STATE OF "DESIRELESSNESS" IN ONE'S MIND, SPEECH, AND ACTIONS.
LIVE IN BRAHMAN, AS BRAHMAN.
EVEN IF YOU LEAVE THE WORLDLY LIFE AND GO AWAY INTO SECLUSION, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO GAIN?
THERE IS NO NEED FOR YOU TO DO THAT.
JUST CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE, OR STATE OF MIND.
DO NOT LOSE THE SENSE THAT YOU ARE BRAHMAN.
TO BE IN THE WORLD IS PAINFUL.
COME TO THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE WORLD IS AN ILLUSION, THEN YOU WILL EXPERIENCE JOY AND CONTENTMENT, EVEN IN THIS WORLD APPEARANCE.
YOU ALWAYS WERE, AND ARE, THE "HIGHEST JOY."
ONE WHO HARBORS DESIRE IS BUT A LABORER WHO IS ALWAYS PLAYING THE ROLE OF AN EMPLOYEE.
ONE WHO HAS NO DESIRE IS THE OWNER.
UNLESS DESIRE IS DESPISED, ONE DOES NOT BECOME DESIRELESS.
IF YOU TRULY WANT TO STUDY, I DARE SAY THAT IT CAN BE DONE ANYWHERE.
THERE IS AN EASY WAY.
IT IS REALLY IMMATERIAL WHERE YOU ARE.
WHETHER IN A HOUSE, OR IN A FOREST, YOU CAN BE LEADING A SPIRITUAL LIFE.
YOU NEED NOT RUN AWAY.
