On Aso vad 8 (a week before the Diwali festival), Swami said, “Those who do not worship God and become engaged in other things have been described as donkeys. And those who worship are described as having true commitment to detachment.” Swami said this and then commented, “If anyone has the courage, then this is the time to worship God. If anyone has the courage, understand that at this time God is manifest. If anyone has the courage, understand that with him such a Sadhu has also manifested and, in fact, that is the thing that is to be understood. But, is the jiva really interested?” Saying this he laughed. “See, this Sadhu forcefully makes people turn the rosary, observe codes of conduct, and worship God; otherwise, the jiva just does not want to do anything and so it just does not do anything.”
