How many things do you need to acquire in this world? Things are endless. You will receive them as needed, so remain worry free.

Therefore from today onwards, put a cross over it and discard the old knowledge.

Eating, drinking, arising, awaking are all dharma (functions) of the body. One has not come within atmadharma (religion of the Soul) even for a second. Had he done so, he would have never moved away from 'God'.
