Recall Your Reality
So long as you find delight in the pleasures
of sense and so long as there exists in your mind a craving for their
enjoyment, the practice of adoration that you may indulge in at times will have
for its object such pleasures alone, rather than Go. As regards God, your mind
will look upon Him only as a means to the attainment of luxuries of your
liking; you will give up the practice of adoration and take recourse to some
other means.

They who are devoted to the Lord and view all
blessings in Him do everything for the sake of the Lord. Even if they pursue
pleasures of the sense conformable to the teachings of the scriptures, they do
it for the sake of the Lord alone. Such pleasures as are not agreeable to the
Lord alone. Such pleasures as are not agreeable to the Lord or appear even the
least harmful to His adoration and remembrance, they forthwith renounce—even as
one would give up food mixed with poison—however charming, delightful, sweet
and agreeable it may be.
A man given to the pursuit of sensual
pleasures seeks God for the sake of such pleasures. The gratification of senses
occupies the foremost place in his mind, God being relegated to a secondary
place in his mind, God being relegated to a secondary place. A devotee, on the
other hand, pursues luxuries too for the pleasure of the Lord. To him it is Go
alone that matters; luxuries are of any use to him only when they are
serviceable to the Lord.
The human body has been vouchsafed to you for
dwelling on, accumulating and pursuing the objects of senses. For the pursuits
of sensual pleasures there exist innumerable bodies other than the human body.
The latter has been vouchsafed only for contemplating on the Lord, for imbibing
the ideas about God and for rendering service to the Lord. The humanity of a
man lies in taking his life to the Godward path. On the other hand, he who is
exclusively devoted to the pursuit of sensual pleasures is mere a beast in a
human semblance.
