Preaching about Brahma Gnana to the miser merchant in Sri Sai Satcharitamritha is one such example. The object of every religion is God. He alone is worthy of worship and none else. To make sordid desires of life to dominate is to invite catastrophe. Do not be dragged in the mire of worldly temptations for they are death knells of misery and degradation.
Riches are the burning bricks with which the vault of hell is built.
Lust for power is a shadowy business. Do not aspire for worldly applause for it is fickle and baseless. Stain not your soul with allurements of life but keep it stainless with love and light of God. God alone is the reality, all else is of unreal nature. Seek God in the simplicity of your heart.
