Misery will not leave from where there is excessive bad or harmful associations with that which takes you away from the Self (kusang). Whereas happiness will not leave from where there is excessive association with Self-realized beings or spiritual discourses (satsang)!

Outer pleasure and pain is under the control of ‘Scientific circumstantial evidences’ and to have the inner peace [inner pleasure] is the result of one’s Self-effort (purusharth).

The pain that you do not fear, will not come before you at all. Neither do the gansters come, and nor does God. Nothing happens to the one who has let go of fear.

Everything is indeed vyavasthit (the result of scientific circumstiantial evidences) for these birds, is it not! Whatever is necessary, that is exactly how much food they get a hold of. That is why the body does not get spoilt at all, does it? Our people get too much (food), and that is the problem!

If this ego did not exist, then the world would not be this crazy. It is due to the ego that there is misery. Keep doing your work; there is no problem with that. But the ego needlessly stirs up mischief.

Where there is doubt (shanka), there is misery. The moment one begins to doubt the knowledge that, 'I am Chandubhai,' misery arises. Once one attains the Knowledge that, 'I am pure Soul,' one become doubtfree (nishank), thus misery leaves.

The absence of misery is the first stage of moksha (liberation). The absence of the body, everything else is the second state of moksha (liberation).

Woman is not at fault, sex is not at fault; the fault is in your tendencies [vruti]. The tendencies indeed interfere and cause misery.

Until pride (vanity) leaves, there is nothing but pain, pain and more pain!
