March 06, 2014: Regarding all enjoyments of this world and the nest as transient and perishable and hindrances in the path of Devotion to God, no prayer should be offered to God for obtaining any object whatsoever, nor should any desire be entertained in the mind for the same. Also, prayer should not be offered to God for the removal of any trouble even when one is overtaken by it. In other words, the thought should be cultivated in the mind that to sacrifice life is preferable to bringing stain on the purity of Bhakti for the sake of this false existence.
