felt a pull of love and regard. With folded hands, again he said: What you
have said is true. For a seeker ofLord, whatever happens should be accepted
as good. This is the proper thinking and one should be happy in that. But 0
master of recluse, if the Lord hTives a choice to stay in the hermitage or hut or
shade in comfort, then one should avail ofthat in the thinking that He has sent
this comfort. Wealth is His. We are sadhus. Everything belongs to the Lord.
Guru: Ifone is a family man, then he should have an honest earning. He
should be truthful. He should hTive charity and do goodness to others.
If he is a recluse, then he should be happy in whatever happens. But
when it comes to comforts, he should not get into comforts. The touch of
comforts traps the recluse. The body and its wants, because they are natural,
they entice you and even the recluse gets lost Therefore, if one has detachment,
whether in the mine. or in both mind and body, he should pass through any
situation but he should not get stuck anywhere. The flowing water remains
fresh. The sarlhus who are happy in whatever happens remain in high thinking.
But if the seeker of the Lord gets stuck somewhere then his high thinking is
gone. Itis these comforts in which one gets stuck. First, they come without any
desire. Then they bring in the desire for comforts, then they entice you in
enjoying the desires. When you get stuck in desires then you are away from
the path towards the Lord.

particular stage has a negative effect and to move ahead through any situation
does not decrease the freshness. This is not an ordinary thought
This is a very important principle in life that has emerged from practical
living. He has said it right that the comforts even if they come on their own
bring a desire for more comforts. This is very deep knowledge. 0 mind!
Today you have come across a person with a mastermind. He doesn'tseem to
be an ordinary person.
Then he wished he might ask, "Who are you?" But he hesitated and
became more eager to save him from the discomfort of rain. He thought this
godly soul must be provided with comfort.
In this thinking aga:n he said: 0 beloved of the Lord you have said truly
that a seeker of the Lord should not get stuck at any stage, but my prayer to
you is for one night only. Pass the night under the roof of the hermitage, as
you pass everyday under the shade of trees in the heat of the sun or under
the thundering and raining dark clouds. You are a bestowal of blessings,
without desires. You have won over your desires. You have forgone your
desires. But I have a desire to do service. For my desire's sake, tonight you
