[Continued from previous post]
On the spiritual path, the only sin is hypocrisy. Be honest. You yourself are the veil. Realization is simple, but you yourself make it extremely difficult. From the beginning, you are God! Who has bound you? Your mind! When you are asleep, you are free, but not consciously. When you wake up, all the worldly paraphernalia surrounds you.
So you must become fully conscious in your deep sleep state. Garlanding and bowing down are not enough. If you long for God, you should long for Him on the strength of the worth of your life!
If your mind tries to deceive you, it does not matter. But beware lest your hands deceive you, resulting in the slipping of my daaman from your grasp!
