If there is no spiritual transformation in your way of life over the years, you would be guilty of having wasted all your energies, time and opportunities. You have been coming to Prasanthi Nilayam for the past many years and have been listening to Swami’s discourses. But, your desires seem to be ever on the increase, while the spirit of tyaga (renunciation) has not developed to the slightest extent.Should you not try to curb your desires to some extent? Living in the ashram, your thoughts are about samsaram (the family). This is not true sadhana. Sometime or other, you will have to give up your material possessions. Only he is a hero, who gives up his possessions before they go from him. (SSS Vol.20, p. 204)
