In English
You can observe the pitiful fate of many devoted and dedicated persons nowadays, who are besieged by various types of calamities. For what reason? People ask cynically why such good persons should suffer so much. The reason is that they have not attained purity of heart, not realised the Unity of the and are still possessed by feelings of 'I' and 'my.' The sadhaka must take the calamity as a warning and tell himself, "I am beaten by this incident. It grieves me and deprives me of balance because I still have some defects in me." When (lentil soup) is cooked in a copper vessel, however fresh and fine the ingredients, the result is a highly poisonous stuff. Similarly, though sadhana may be done with the most meticulous attention and care, if the intentions and attitudes are impure, no progress can be achieved. I wish to emphasise that purity of the heart, the mind and the consciousness is more important for progress than even meditation and prayer. Purity alone can convince you of the Divine within you, of the (indweller) immanent in this (body). Love all, adore all, serve all. That is the sadhana of worship to win purity and earn Grace.
