A temple cannot be found without liberation of the mind!


- Mist became Moti-Kumarapala Desai

He requested a gentleman before a monk. He said to the monk, 'I have a deep faith in religion, but my wife does not have the slightest faith in religion. No one worships. It would be nice if you could come home and give him a sermon. '

The monk went to the gentleman's house early one morning. His wife was found in the garden outside the house. The monk asked the woman,

'Where is your husband? What are they doing? '

The woman replied, 'I think he would go to the shoe store now and buy it.'

Hearing his wife's answer, her husband rushed to the next room and counted the garlands.

'What a blatant lie this woman is telling! Swamiji, I consider the garland sitting in my worship room, but it says that I have gone to the shop to buy shoes. In fact, he has seen me count the beads, but you know what his habit of lying is! '

The monk thought, and the woman said to her husband,

'Are you right to say that you were in the worship room? Did you really care in the nest that your body was in the temple and the mind was somewhere else? Tell the truth. '

The woman's husband thought and finally spoke,

'You are right. Ever since I woke up in the morning, I was in a hurry to get my shoes. So while counting the beads, Mann was sitting in the shoe shop. The only thing on my mind was to go to the store or to get cheap shoes. That way you are right. '

The monk understood everything and returned. In fact, just holding a garland in one's hand and counting it does not bring virtue. In the nest, one should pay attention. Forget everything and count the wreaths. Until the mind is completely liberated, the temple is useless. Only when the mind is free will the meaning of the temple be understood. The mind should be freed from the mechanical flow of thought.

Anything that is discovery is an inner discovery. You have to go inside yourself to know the inside. The idol of the Lord and the temple must be erected in the heart.
