(1) You left me, but never leave religion.
(2) Your path of salvation will not be hindered in my absence
but will surely be hindered in the absence of religion.
The above two messages indicate that a true religious
person always considers religion to be an integral part of
life and never forgets his ultimate goal of salvation. Sitaji
must have definitely done this; only then could she remember
religion in adverse times.
You can remember religion and salvation in times of
adversity only if you have given it considerable importance
during times of prosperity.
You earned money and prosperous times prevailed. At such
a time you will immediately consider it to be a result of
religion exercised in the previous birth. I have attained this
wealth because of charity, compassion, devotion of God and
Guru exercised in the previous birth. Thus as this prosperity
is an outcome of religion; today I will utilize these prosperous
times to exercise religion and noble acts and not for sinful
activites.
It is a logical deduction. If prosperous times prevail because
of religion exercised in the past, then adversity is bound to
attack us in future because of our present sins and violent
activities. Thus, it is absolutely necessary to be constantly
alert and keep a religious outlook all the time.
