Mukti· LiberationFind Love on the Spiritual Platform
“In family life, the parents are always in anxiety about their home, children and reputation. But I have nothing to do with these things. I do not worry at all about any family, and I do not care about honor and dishonor. I enjoy only the life of the soul, and I find love on the spiritual platform. Thus I wander the earth like a child.”

- He is free from these worries and does not care about honor or dishonor.
- He enjoys the life of the soul and finds love on the spiritual platform, wandering the earth like a child.

How much does concern about honor or dishonor disturb my peace?
Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.
