How to Become Pure

 

How to Become Pure

 

16 June 1984, Cleveland, Ohio, USA.

It was about 10.30 p.m. The majority of kids in the neighborhood must have been glued to their T.V. sets this Saturday night. However, at Kanubhai's place, a group of teenagers were seated rapt in attention. They were not viewing their favorite T.V. program nor were they engaged in some game or contest. They were listening intently to the words of Swamishri: "Our vision should never be colored by an ugly viciousness towards God or His choicest Sadhu, because he is the means to eternal redemption. A God-intoxicated Sadhu is pure and holy. And any apparent failing we see in him is merely a reflection of our inner failings. When one is ill one's appetite is subdued, a dislike for even delicious food develops. Similarly, because we are ill at heart we may see a Sadhu in the same manner. But he is pure. The more we are attached to a God-intoxicated Sadhu, accordingly, the more successful the operation for rooting out our illness will be."
