The peace experienced in the presence of a great Sadhu in the mandir is not experienced even at home. Everyone knows this, but, tell me, is it cold in the summer or the monsoon? In the monsoon, obviously. Similarly, there is peace in the presence of the great Sadhu in the mandir. And now that everyone is together, all have resolved in their minds to overcome all defects and surrender at the feet of God. When one insists on this, like one does to further one’s business, horticulture and agriculture, then one will be able to reach Maharaj. One becomes attached to the farm, but there is no worth in it. So then, should this not be done? It should certainly be done, but only as much as is needed to fulfill the body’s basic needs. When one thinks of God by repeatedly waking up during the night – whether it is shortly after midnight, early in the morning, in the middle of the night or late at night – then one will become a sadhu and will be able to reach God. Stay awake like a person on duty, a student and those struggling day and night to earn a living.
