If one understands in this way, commands can be obeyed: Thar thar dhrujat rahe vachanme Indra Munindrā, Thar thar dhrujat rahe vachanme Avni Ahindrā; Thar thar dhrujat rahe vachanme Shashiyar Surā; Thar thar dhrujat rahe ren din kāl hajurā, Hari har Aj ādi sabe rahat bhaktirat jāhiki, Mukund mohvash muḍh nar kare na āgnā tāhiki.1 Other seniors, too, act according to commands. Also, Sarvatra jantorvyasanāvagatyā2 – the jiva suffers infinite miseries due to its karmas. This type of thinking enables one to obey the commands. Thus, for a spiritually wise person there are many methods to become free of desires. Never hope to free yourself from desires by enjoying the sense pleasures. This is a fact. One who disobeys the commands does not experience happiness in his heart. This is like when grains freeze totally (due to severe frost) – on the outside they appear to be normal, but inside their seed is burnt and so will not grow. Thus it is like that. Footnotes: 1. 1. Indra, the great sages, the earth, Sheshnag, the moon, the sun, the day and night, the gods and kāl itself all tremble at the orders of God. Brahmā, Shiv, Vishnu and all others remain engrossed in his devotion. Only man does not follow his commands, out of ignorance of his greatness and attachment for worldly pleasures. 2. All life forms are controlled by their desires and addictions.
