श्रीसद्गुरुरुवाच
कामाक्रोधोद्भवं वेगं शमयन् क्षमया सदा |
यः करोति निजं धर्मं स योगी शान्तिमाप्नुयात् ||
अतिघोरं तपः कृत्वा विक्ष्वामित्रादयः पुरा |
कामक्रोधसमुद्विग्ना नष्टाः किल मुहुर्मुहुः ||
फलासक्तिं परित्यज्य गृहेप्यतिथिवद्वसन् |
यः करोति निजं कर्म तस्य दुःखं न विद्यते ||
केचिदन्यगृहेष्वेव दृश्यन्ते क्षमयान्विताः |
किन्तु पुत्रकलत्रेषु वर्तन्ते कुपिताः सदा ||
स्वाधीनेषु जनेश्वेव नानादोषयुतेष्वपि |
यः करोति क्षमां शक्ष्वत् समर्थः स हि पण्डितः ||
Shri Sadguru said
Only that yogi who follows the righteous path assigned to him and who controls with the help of endurance all mental disturbances caused by emotions like lust and anger attains peace in the true sense. Long back, great seers like Vishwamitra engaged in severe penance. But they lost poise and calm and were distressed often due to the ebbing emotions of lust and anger. The one who gives up all attachments, lives in his own house as a wayfarers and stranger and carries on his assigned duties, never faces distress. Some people appear to be patient when they are at other places. But at home, they always get angry with their wives and children,. He who deals very patiently even with people who are under his direct control, despite their being full of blemishes, is a real wise man.
