A wrong habit can ruin your whole life!

A brief discourse of Pujya Maharaj Ji. Watch the video above for the full talk.

Full Discourse

Let no addiction take hold in our life, whether it is a son or a daughter. Understand this completely. Every addiction will lead our life toward ruin. For example, nowadays children in schools have started taking drugs and blowing smoke. Do not take up bidis, cigarettes, or any other addiction. Do not indulge in immoral conduct. If you keep remembering Bhagwan's naam, Bhagwan will surely grant you victory over this world, and your desires will be fulfilled. When our intellect stays pure, our remembrance stays pure. When our remembrance stays pure, whatever we read will be remembered.

We will never fail. When we indulge in immoral conduct, and all kinds of sensual objects enter in, our power of remembrance is destroyed.

kama sanjayte krodha krodha smriti vibhrama smriti bhransa buddhi nasho buddhi na prannasati

From desire arises anger; from anger, bewilderment of memory; from bewilderment of memory, loss of intelligence; and from loss of intelligence, one perishes.

So the purpose of life is not just this: to take up a job, earn money, enjoy pleasures, and then die. The purpose of life is to attain Bhagwan, to live a spiritual life. Therefore, keep your character pure. Do not take up any addiction. Worship Bhagwan's naam, and treat your mother and father as Bhagwan, staying in their obedience and service.

If you accept just this much, everything will fall into place.
