PREFACE
What nature says is, ‘Whatever I give you is verily in
accordance with your own receptacle of intellect (buddhi’s
ashaya) of the past life. So then, why are you getting disturbed
or distressed?’ Whatever you get, enjoy it with happiness! If it
was in one’s receptacle of intellect that, ‘Any kind of a wife will
do, but I cannot live without a wife,’ then he will get ‘any kind
of a wife.’ And today, if he sees someone else’s wife, he feels
short-changed. However, complain as he might, his satisfaction
is derived only from the wife at home. No mat ter how much
commotion you create, you will not get anywhere. Therefore, be
practical and wisen up! Settle everything with equanimity!
By getting disturbed and distressed there will be new
bondage of karma and in this way the worldly illusionary
attachments will never come to an end. One is defeated and
trodden down from his wanderings in the worldly life. At last he
arrives at only one decision of, ‘It would be good if there could
be some way to become free.’ Then he will definitely meet with
a ‘Gnani Purush’ with whose grace he will become aware of his
real Self; he will be able to taste his own bliss of the Self. After
that, his vision will change and, therefore, the subtle, inner
component of vision and knowledge (chit) will never leave his
own home and wander around outside. As a result, new causes
for another life are not formed.
After speaking angry words to someone, if the mind forms
the opinion that, ‘Things cannot be sorted out without anger,’
then there will be karmic charging of speech in the ‘code words’
of, ‘I want to say angry words.’ And, instead, if there is the
opinion that speaking angry words is wrong and that it should
not be done, then the code words of that opinion will be, ‘I do
not want to say angry words,’ and the charging will be done
accordingly. And when there is the constant search of, ‘When
will my speech improve?’ then one’s ‘code words’ will change.
