One devotee was given the juice of neem leaves as a cure for an illness. As a result, he was cured of the illness, but he became addicted to the juice of neem leaves; and when he did not drink it he got a fever. Then, by daily drinking smaller portions the addiction was overcome. Similarly, we are addicted to this world and it can be overcome by coming to the mandir, going home and letting the sons handle the family affairs. By such actions, it is overcome.
