New Delhii 11 June ( Anupma Jain VNI) Saint Shiromani 108 Acharya Shri Vidyasagar Maharaj, accompanied by his Sangh, graciously bestows blessings upon his devoted followers in Chandragiri Dongargarh. In today's discourse, Acharya Shri mentioned that like each day, the black bee commences its journey. It glides alongside the breeze. A vast lake comes into view, adorned with many blossoming lilies, filling the entire ambiance with a delightful fragrance. black bee contemplates that even after spending the entire day there, its stomach might not be filled, but it will surely experience contentment. It approaches the lily with enchanting melodies that everyone enjoys. It perches on the lily and begins extracting its nectar. It becomes so immersed in this act that his mind becomes completely absorbed, and the transition from morning to evening occurs without his awareness. Sun arrives, traveling from the east to the west, and black bees becomes disoriented. Once caught in this state, no one can alleviate it. If black bee had returned home freely, as it usually does, wherever it went would have felt like home. But now, it feels displaced, as its actual dwelling feels too small to accommodate it. When the mind feels content, slumber arrives, alleviating the burden from the brain.

There are numerous kinds of wealth. Acharya Kund advises, "Retire to bed with determination—go to sleep, don't cease sleeping, but if you wake up during practice, remain awake, staying vigilant." Those who doze off in their actions awaken with determination. If you seek happiness, sleep with the right conduct and awaken with determination. The illusionist failed to do so; black bee was engrossed in imbibing the nectar of the lily from morning till evening, and in the evening, a herd of elephants arrived, uprooting all the lilies and devouring them directly. Now bhramar or black bee desires to depart from this place. As soon as the day wanes, and Sun also rests, then you all should also take some repose (refrain from eating at night). Those who have now become grandparents should grasp this concept a bit better. Grandparents are more concerned about their grandchildren than their own children. Hence, send the father to us. Do you all comprehend, right? Bhramar became perplexed and met his demise. As long as the senses possess wealth, all of this is apparent. But when the senses' wealth depletes, nothing feels satisfying. It is commendable to find contentment in nothingness. If it appears gratifying at present, then it is not truly beneficial. The arrangements of heaven are solely for those who have commenced chanting and reciting. The rest will have to retrace their steps in the same manner they arrived.

Those who have now become grandparents consider themselves as guests in their homes; hence, they seldom seek guidance from their grandparents as they no longer have anyone to turn to. Somewhere, we heard or read that excessive talking or overly pleasant speech conveys numerous meanings in one way. You all are expanding your world and praying for blessings to have larger abodes. We ask, will you accommodate us in your homes? That's why being without a home is preferable. No one bothers a person without a home. Homelessness can provide solitude and freedom from botherations . Being without a home is advantageous. Being without a home implies traveling to the crematorium, and it is quite tranquil there. If you go there, you will encounter all your acquaintances. No one will drive you away. People from far and wide come here and say, "Maharaj, come to our place—come to our place." here We witness, household members joining the ranks of the homeless.
