The principle of the great Sadhu is that one should die having lived consistently by dharma, spiritual knowledge and detachment. But do not be ‘Kshane rushtā kshane tushtā, rushtā tushtā kshane kshane.’1 And in the trilok, no one is found who, in the early morning, worships God or attends discourses. People will do other things but not attend discourses. From morning onwards, they engage in earning money, building homes, marriage, food and labour. Actually, I do things the way the Portuguese train their soldiers and do this by adjusting many tasks; otherwise how is it possible to do (all this)? The moment discourses finish, people start worldly tasks. We enforce this devotion by blocking their focus (on other activities). This is what has to be done. And by doing this, the jiva continues to progress spiritually. Footnotes: 1. 1. One whose mind is imbalanced, even if blessed, still experiences great miseries, since he himself alternately feels satisfied and dissatisfied every moment.
