Rising Above the passions"People who read this chapter may have a difficulty which Id like to speak about now, I said. "It sounds like rising above the passions so that the soul may be the master is too hard for people especially for husband and wife. What do you think about this difficulty and what does it mean in terms of most people ever experiencing the mastery of the soul? Is it possible to experience spiritual fulfillment while married, for example?" Punditji smiled at his wife. "Suppose these married people say, Oh, God, please make me so that I can see you. Then suppose God actually comes to them and says, Yes, I have come to you. I want to take you with me. Will you come with me? Then these people will say, Oh, not now! Not now! Let me see you at the end of my life let me tend to my children and my grandchildren, then I shall come to you! " Punditji laughed. "So, there are very few people who are really interested in getting this spiritual perfection," he said. "They want some light but not spiritual perfection. Why? They like temptation and desire. They think of perfection in worldly terms as money. They want all these things good money, a good wife, good children. |
