A tyãgi. In the Vachanãmrut, sant refers to sat- purush. Tap to open in glossary → And without the seva of Maharaj, do not keep vasana even for abodes like Shvetadvipa. And Shriji is capable of removing all deficiencies, keeping one anywhere. Therefore, remaining in the form of the soul, keep intense association with His ekantik devotees. And for that purpose, tolerate cold, heat, hunger, thirst, honor, insult, joy, and grief, and do not feel vairagya towards them. And feel vairagya towards the efforts made for the sake of worldly pleasures. Saying this, and giving the example of Moka Khachar, he said, "Such is this beautiful, beautiful talk of Bhagwan, but some may like it and some may not like it." And why... Meaning, do not keep vasana for any place. Do not keep it for any person. Do not get bound by any situation. Vasana means getting bound. "If I am here in this place, then..." like that. There is not much connection between the place and pleasing Bhagwan. It is not that if it is a good place, one can please Bhagwan, and if it is a poor place, one cannot. One who has the intense desire can please Bhagwan. So, as for persons, get bound to a good person. One who has the intense desire to please Bhagwan and is pleasing Bhagwan... If we get bound to such a person, we ourselves get inspiration from them and get support. Then, no matter how great the person is, Maharaj says, even if in worldly affairs they are like Muktanand Swami, but if they do not correct us, do not keep their association. And if they correct us, even if they are junior, keep their association. There should be benefit in the redemption of our soul, shouldn't there? If they do not say anything to us at all, and are very great, their greatness is not wrong, but there is no benefit to us. And how should one understand to always remain happy? The answer to that question is, one always remains happy if they do not want any object. And ordinary clothes and simple food are easily obtained. Therefore, if one behaves with contentment, one remains happy. And those worthy of trust are only holy persons like the devotee Punja Dodia, and elsewhere one is bound to be miserable. What was said, tell me? If one wants to always remain happy, how can one do so? By not keeping hope for objects, one can do so, by keeping contentment. What did you remember? Whatever simple food one gets, if one lives on that, one always remains happy. Then where to put mangoes? If mangoes have come, where to put them? Do not make special arrangements. Do not make special arrangements for objects. Whatever happens by the will of Bhagwan, if later simple food is obtained, accept that; if that other is obtained, accept that. If one makes efforts, there is misery. Obtained easily, it was said like that, if obtained easily, then there is an arrangement to get it easily. Who always becomes happy? How many ways were mentioned to be happy? How many ways were mentioned here in the talk? Read the talk, read it again. And how should one understand to always remain happy?
