however comes out as one of the many evidences and is purely instrumental.
Stern words come forth due to‘ our’ compassion laden intellect. The current time is also a factor. What happens to vegetables that become frozen in the refrigerator? One has to add some soda bicarbonate in order to cook them. Do you think‘ we’ like doing this?
With all the existing difficulties, you mahatmas are able to experience nirvikalp samadhi; bliss amidst all disturbances in thoughts speech and acts. A piece of potato may very well end up in your plate, but you have to quietly set it aside, without anyone’ s knowledge and with equanimity. But what will a person who becomes agitated say?‘ Where did you get this from? Go throw it away.’ If‘ we’ were to find a piece of meat in‘ our’ daal,‘ we’ would quietly take it out and put it inside the fold of our dhoti. Let it get dirty, but‘ we’ would not upset anyone. If‘ we’ upset anyone, then anyone who would eat the daal would become sick( kashaya laden). People have eaten so many cockroaches and lizards in this way and then they contract diseases. People develop leprosy and many other diseases. Whatever food one eats outside their home, no one keeps an eye on it, so many insects fall in the food and yet people devour that food.‘ We’ would hide the piece of meat and accept it as vyavasthit;‘ we’ would behave as if nothing has happened. Whereas these masters go berserk and start yelling with such intensity that it stuns everyone in the home.‘ We’ have the understanding and would question,‘ Did the woman deliberately put the meat in the food?’ No. She must have walked away to do something and a crow came along to take a piece of rotli and dropped a piece of meat it was carrying in its beak. Just look at all the evidences that take place. Therefore, people should be prepared for all kinds of things. Should you not maintain awareness of all different circumstances that take place?
