You yourself create your jail
Well, today man wants to hear words of his praise but does not want to do praise- worthy acts. The body is decrepit, has lost all his teeth, the body is trembling even then attachment and greed to the body persists, ears long for hearing talks of sensual enjoyments. The desire of hearing self-praise is not eliminated. Whenever the encomium will be written that will surely increase egoism. The worldly being likes the tales of AYirma-bondage ,i.e. of sin as he feels it better to live in bondage. He does not view it ajail. The day he will view sin in that then such self-accepted fetters will be taken off/removed on their own. This house, this shop built by you, all these are your jail and the family mem¬bers are its watchmen. Whenever you do not return in time then they ask you, where you were? What were you doing? Why came so late". All these are with you in the state of infatuation. The sensual enjoyments and passion-smeared person likes the talks of sensual enjoyments whereas a person interested in self-beneficence likes, precisely the talk of the soul and perception of that soul.

Whenever you talk about auspicious/ good works with anyone | then people assist & cooperate in that, nobody wants to take side of evilness because the person marching on the wrong, inauspicious path becomes weak while one marching on the right path goes on becoming strong and stronger inside and outside. No good to anyone can occur j in false assertion. Only that person becomes strong and gets honour j who live in himself, respects his own soul. That one achieved a lot who met with his own -self. Hence, only that person is venerable who has : tried to maintain holiness, sanctity of his own soul by honouring himself. ¡
