Paragraph 15

In plain words

Addressing the assembled Brahmo devotees, he said: "It is hard to lead the worldly life unattached. Pratap had said, Sir, we are like King Janaka; Janaka led the worldly life unattached, and we shall do the same. I said, Can one become King Janaka just by thinking so? How much austerity King Janaka had practised to gain knowledge. He did fierce austerities for many years, head down and feet up, and only then had he gone back to the world.
