One who sees virtues in this Sadhu progresses like the waxing moon of the second day of the bright half of the month. And if one sees faults, one declines and becomes lifeless like the waning moon. Maharaj says, “Even I desire to have darshan of the Sadhu who possesses the 64 virtues.”1 So, if even God wishes to have his darshan, then what is to be said of others? We have attained such a Sadhu, but we do not feel truly elated. “Sāche sant mile kami kāhu rahi, sāchi shikhve Ramki ritkuji.”2 Tin tāpki jhāl jaryo prāni koi āve; Tāku shital karat turat dil dah bujhāve.3 And ‘Sādhavo hrudayam mama.’4 Associate with such a Sadhu. Now, such a Sadhu and Maharaj have been recognized but deep desires for enjoyment of material pleasures remain and there is deficiency in this aspect. Therefore, purify everything (mind, body, etc.) now. This happens when the material pleasures are believed to be like a thousand rotting dogs, cats and camels lying around. For this, one should learn ātmā-realization. Footnotes: 1. 1. The 64 qualities of a sadhu (as mentioned in the Satsangijivan/Harigita: 1/25-37) are, one who: 1. Is compassionate, 2. Is forgiving, 3.
