Tap to open in glossary → And there is no one other than Nara-Narayana Rishi who is not bound after enjoying sense objects. What? What did he say? What did you remember? Initially, there was much love for Maharaj, and now that love is not felt, so what is the reason for that? So, initially, the inclinations of the senses did not enter into sense objects, now the inclinations of the senses enter into sense objects, so... Now they enter. So what did he practice? Initially, the inclinations of the senses did not enter into sense objects. And now they enter. After doing satsang satsang 1) True company. The practice of associating with Bhagvãn’s sant, other satsangis, the ãtmã, and the sacred shãstras, and also observing vartmãns and niyams. 2) Also refers to the sampradãy, which is the presence of good company.

Did you remember anything? You were busy taking photos. What did you remember? The reason why it does not seem as it was initially... ...is that initially, the senses did not enter into sense objects, and now they enter.

The practice of associating with Bhagvãn’s sant, other satsangis, the ãtmã, and the sacred shãstras, and also observing vartmãns and niyams. 2) Also refers to the sampradãy, which is the presence of good company.

Tap to open in glossary → there was that love for God, and there was that love for the sadhus, there was that love for seva, why does it not seem so now? Why does it not seem so? What did Swami say? Pleasure of sense objects... Huh? He developed a taste for sense objects. He developed a taste. Initially, he didn't have it. If it wasn't there initially, where does it come from now? What, what do you say? Initially, he did not enjoy sense objects. Huh? Initially, he stayed away from sense objects. And then he started enjoying sense objects. So what did Swami say was the reason for that? He did not enjoy them initially and now he has started enjoying them, why? Love for Maharaj decreased. Love for Maharaj decreased, but now it should increase again, right? Does it decrease? After you became a devotee, did your love increase or decrease? Huh? Does it increase or decrease? How could Swamiji say that? Tulsibhai wants to say something. One minute. Yes, speak. Initially, he was not married, and then he got married, so he came into contact with sense objects. In the case of a householder, that is correct. When he was not married, he had to love only in one place, the sadhus, then another place of love came along, so... But where do our sadhus have to marry? So for sadhus too, it is for both, right? It is said for both, isn't it? It is said for both together, not just for the householder. Sadhus do not have to marry. So, what you say is true, that if someone is a seeker and is ready to become a sadhu, and we get him married, then if there is love for God, it all gets diverted to that place. But now, the sadhus have already left without getting married, so what about them? It happens to them too. What, brother, so tell me? Ever since he started taking interest in sense objects, he became lukewarm. We don't want what is implied, what is actually written in the talk? Read the talk once again.

So if he just has to walk, why does he run? There is pleasure in running, if there is energy. If he is weak, then there is no pleasure; if he is weak, he finds pleasure in scratching his ears, slowly shaking his head. The fly must fly away from the ear. So he finds pleasure in that. Have you seen a small child sleeping in a cradle? What does he do? He moves his legs like this... He does it like they do in the gym. Both legs and hands. In the gym, they only move their hands like this, but he moves both legs and hands like this. Why does he do that? A person finds pleasure in movement. Even the body finds pleasure, even though it doesn't know anything else. But the body finds pleasure. That is why God has spoken of karma karma Action. Deed.
