श्रीसद्गुरुरुवाच
सुरापानं न कर्तव्यं बुद्धिव्यामोहकारकम् |
तस्मात्पापतरं नास्ति सर्वनाशस्य कारणात् ||
दुःसङ्गेन सुरापाने नराणां जायते रुचिः |
नरास्त्यजन्ति बन्धूंक्ष्च सुरापानविमोहिताः||
कृच्छ्रात्संपादितं सर्वं धनं दत्वा सुरां पिबन् |
संत्यज्य पत्नीं पुत्रांक्ष्च चरत्युनमादवान् भुवि ||
न जानीते वस्त्रमपि च्युतं मधुरसोन्मदः |
मृगवत् सञ्चरन् भूमौ बहुधा प्रत्नपत्यहो ||
वाच्यावाच्यं न जानाति कार्याकार्यं तथा खलः |
सुरापानमदोन्मत्तो हन्ति भार्यां तथा सुतान् ||
Shri Sadguru said
Drinking which dampens one’s intellect is not good. There is no greater sin than drinking that causes wholesome destruction. Due to bad company, men develop a taste for drinking. Intoxicated with drinks, men disown even their relatives. A drunkard spends all the hard-earned money in drinking and roams about the earth like a lunatic even deserting his Wie and children. A drunkard does not even feel his robes slipping down as he is intoxicated to that extent. Alas! He wanders all over lamenting. A drunkard who is highly intoxicated does not understand what should be done and what should not be and what should be said. He even goes to the extent of killing his own wife and children.
