If we spoke exactly as it is, no one would go home. And if one does go home, he cannot stay there.1 ‘Tājī tīkṣhṇa dhār aḍatāmā aḷagu kare; lesh na rahe sansār vachan lāgyā koī vīrnā.’2 Footnotes: 1. 1. The purport of these words is that if the Sant talks about sānkhya (knowledge that the world is temporary) and the greatness of God, then the aspirant will be freed from the attachment to the world and will not go home. If he does go home, then he will not be able to stay there or will not be able to join in his worldly duties. 2. A brave soldier, wielding a sharp sword, will separate the body into two with one blow. Similarly, the words of God and the Sant are like the sword. They break one’s attachment to the world and the aspirant becomes apathetic toward the world.
