and be on the path of Dharma does not mean that we give up everything
and lead the life of a sanyasi. Contrary to that, Baba wants us to enjoy life
while doing our duty, our Dharma. Most of the times it is confusing when
we are advised not be attached, put ceiling on desires, renounce, control
senses, sacrifice etc. and at the same time lead a life of enjoyment. Baba
says that full enjoyment of life in a spirit of renunciation is possible if we
lead virtuous life. In this context, in 'Sandeha Nivarini' (Dissolving
doubts), Baba has given following important codes of conduct to be
practiced to experience the full joy of life. Although it is a long list but
these selected jewels can be used as guiding principles to make life happy
and joyous.
1) Prema, Love, should be considered as the very breath of Life.
2) The Love that is manifest in all things equally, believe that the same
Prema is Paramatma.
3) The one Paramatma is in everyone, in the form of Prema.
4) More than all other forms of Prema, man's first effort should be to
fix his Love on the Lord.
5) Such Love directed towards God is Bhakti; that is the fundamental
test, the acquisition of Bhakti.
6) Those who seek the bliss of the Atma should not run after the joys
of sense objects.
7) Sathya, Truth, must be treated as life/giving as breathing itself.
8) Just as a body that has no breath is useless and begins to rot and
stink within a few minutes, similarly, life without Truth is useless
and becomes the stinking abode of strife and grief.
9) Believe that there is nothing greater than Truth, nothing more
precious, nothing sweeter and nothing more lasting.
