Renounce All Wordly Desire

Aum Sairam

One should always avoid evil company and take to the company of the
virtuous. The company of those whose entire outlook is worldly is
very harmful. To say nothing of living things, even the association of
lifeless objects, which tempt the mind and attract the senses,
should be given up.

One should never utter even by mistake, nor hear anything in opposition
to God. It is the greatest sin to utter or hear such words.

Freeing the mind from the feelings of attraction and repulsion, one
should enjoy objects of pleasure through the senses dispassionately
and not with the feeling of love and hatred, nor as a slave of the
senses, making them your slaves, rather than be a slave to them and
carry out their orders.

The greatest obstacle in the path of an aspirant is the desire for
fame. It is easy to renounce the attraction for wealth or woman, but
it is exceedingly difficult to renounce the attraction for fame.

The seat of happiness is your mind. Happiness does not lie in any
action or particular object. If the mind is peaceful, you are happy,
otherwise there is misery and misery alone. To attain peace of mind it
is necessary to renounce all worldly desires.
