- “I know that, even though you are leading the life of a householder, your heart is free from worldly desires. I am also aware that having realised the truth, you do not entertain any love for wealth.
- In this World, people who have shaken off worldly desires brought forth by Divine mAyA, and who yet perform their prescribed duties with a heart unswayed by desire, just as I do, for the sake of setting an example before the World, are very rare.”
