Footnotes: 1. 1. Mandirmā thatī bāndhakām ādi pravṛutti māṭe vaprāto shabda.
Satsang will grow ten million-fold and there will be ten million times more mandirs, but these talks and discourses will not be attained again and administrative duties will predominate. Therefore, only do that which comes naturally. These workshops (for building mandirs, pilgrim resthouses, etc.) will continue as long as the universe remains. So, cultivate the practice of listening to and giving spiritual discourses. We should aspire for all four spiritual endeavours – dharma, spiritual wisdom, detachment and bhakti – and not keep just one as predominant.
