- Mild dispassion is to let whatever is continue as it is, just to go on repeating the name of God.
- But in one who has deep dispassion, the prana (life breath) becomes restless for God, like a mother restless for the child in her womb.
- A person who has deep dispassion does not want anything but God. That person sees the world as a deep well and feels that he is drowning in it.
- Having become burnt by the fire of the world, one puts on gerua. Such dispassion does not last long.
- There is the man who has everything, who lacks nothing, but does not enjoy anything. He weeps only for God. This kind of dispassion is genuine dispassion.
- Any untruth is bad. Even false garb is not good. If one’s dress does not correspond to one’s mind, it gradually brings complete ruin. By speaking lies or practicing falsehood, one gradually loses the fear of it. It is better to wear white clothes. When there is attachment in the mind and lapse of the ideal within while wearing gerua – this is dreadful!
