A highly learned man once went to the palace of King Janaka, and sent
in word of his arrival, expecting the king to order that he be
immediately ushered in, and to shower honours on him. The saintly king
divined that the guest was filled with pride, and so sent a reply that
he come alone, meaning minus the pride.
…
| A mortgagee is not
entitled to put a mortgaged article to use; treat your wife, children,
everything you have, as a mortgage to you by God; do your duty in
everything, but keep off the idea that they belong to you. Protect them
dutifully, but be unconcerned, detached, about them in your heart of
hearts. It is, indeed, a crime to feel attachment or proprietorship for
them and to feel pleasure or pain on their account.
