In plain words
Then grandchildren come. In this way ‘attachment’ keeps on growing.
One day Ubhayabhāratī was going with her women disciples to the Gaṅgā to bathe. On the path they took, a sannyāsī lay under a tree with the gourd he used for drinking water tucked under his head, for fear that someone might steal it. Seeing that, Ubhayabhāratī: “This man has not lost his possessiveness about his water-gourd. So he is no sannyāsī; he is still a householder,” she said, loud enough for him to hear. Those words made him angry. As they were coming back, he took the gourd and flung it away. Seeing that, Ubhayabhāratī: “Ah, in this man there is not only possessiveness but Ahaṅkāra as well. One who has not given up possessiveness and Ahaṅkāra cannot be a sannyāsī,” she said.
Even the place where we move about has its effect on our conduct
Today some appear to have given up everything. But deep within they long to have everything. Some, when they come to Swami: “Swami! I want no house, no weddings or family celebrations, nothing. Show me the path that grants Mukti,” they say. But the moment they cross the Praśānti Nilayam compound, desires wrap themselves around them. A man's conduct depends on these three: the strength of place, the strength of arm and the strength of wealth. So we must also see whether or not we are in the right place. While Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa were roaming the forest, Lakṣmaṇa went and sat down under a tree. At once he got up from there and came back: “Chī, why should I stay in this forest! I'll go back to Ayodhyā at once,” he said. Lakṣmaṇa, who had never once crossed Rāma's command, began at that time to speak against even Rāma's words. Then Rāma: “Brother! Let us go on a little further. We can talk about this matter again,” he said. After they had left that spot and gone some distance, Lakṣmaṇa clasped Rāma's feet.
