Know things in their proper light. Do not be deluded. Emotion is mistaken for devotion;
violent jumping in the air during Sankirtan for Divine ecstasy; Rajasic restlessness and motion for
divine activities and Karma Yoga; a Tamasic man for a Sattvic man; Tandri and deep sleep for
Samadhi; Manorajya or building castles in the air for meditation; physical nudity for the Jivanmukti
state.
Understand the laws of the universe. Move tactfully in this world. Learn the secrets of
Nature. Learn to discriminate and become wise. Fight out the inner battle again and come out
victorious!
