one morning the market crashed down or your relatives feel
offended. What is all this ? Everything is working well and
suddenly your trust is broken.

Now, the question here is that,

Living amidst all such untrustworthy factors, how is
happiness and mental peace possible ? Your heart needs to
be exceptionally tough for that.

But our answer is,

Though it is untrustworthy, it gives happiness. Isn’t it enough ?

Wife is beautiful and devoted in service but has relations
with another man, will the husband be satisfied thinking that
the relations with another man are immaterial as far as my
wife is giving me happiness. If a man thinks in this manner,
then isn’t he really tough ? What is the value and image of
such a man ?
Similarly, such worldly relations and things are all untrustworthy
and inspite of experiencing its true form, everyone is living
in absolute peace and gay. Isn’t this toughness ? What is the
value of such people in the eyes of the learned ?

You might answer, “We understand everything but it isn’t
easy to leave all this ?”

“You are right. Everything cannot be forsaken completely
but atleast you can utilise those untrustworthy things for the
betterment of the soul, can’t you ?
 Eyes can ditch you anytime. But atleast till the time they
are good you can repeatedly go to the temple and visualize
the Almighty. You can worship innumerable saints with
these eyes. You can also read various scriptures and good
literature. Now tell me, isn’t the optimum utilisation of
eyes possible every now and then ?
