RAJIV NAYAN AGRAWAL

ARA------------------------------At Paramanpur Chaturmasya Vrat Sthal, India's great sage, Saint Shri Jiyar Swami Ji Maharaj said that the influence of senses is very strong. Due to which even great sages, maharishis, ascetics go astray. That is why sages, maharishis, ascetics have also been told to stay restrained. All the women in the world, except one's wife, should be treated like a mother. Whether it is a small girl or an old mother or a woman of any age, it has been told to behave like a mother. In the society, some people call small girls sister.

But the most appropriate word for all women is mother. Whether she is a woman of any age, she should behave, conduct, speak and have dignity like a mother. Because no matter how bad a man is, he also definitely stays within limits with his mother. According to the scriptures, it is said that even a father should not live in solitude with his daughter. It is forbidden to live in solitude, talk, joke with sister, daughter, aunt, aunt and any other woman.

Vyas ji has written in Shrimad Bhagwat that the senses are so strong that even great scholars, accomplished men, ascetics, sages, Maharshis get affected by their influence.

When Vyas ji wrote in Shrimad Bhagwat that the senses are so strong that even ascetics go astray in their sadhana. Then some sages and Maharshis opposed it saying that you should not write like this. But Vyas ji thought in his mind that we will prove it too. Once Jaimini Rishi was doing sadhana tapasya in the forest. Vyas ji went there in the form of a girl.

After going there, he started resting outside his ashram. It was night time. It was also raining that day. Now the girl who was there thought that she will stay here tonight. She was sitting outside under a tree in the rain. Jaimini Rishi was doing penance in his ashram. He came to know that a girl is sitting outside under a tree in the rain. He thought in his mind that he should keep that girl in his ashram. Because it is night time and she is getting drenched in the rain outside. Jaimini Rishi went there and said that girl, you rest in my ashram. We will rest here under the tree. Jaimini Rishi said that a ghost comes at night, he will go and knock on the door, but you do not open the door.

He also told the time that it was around 12:00 in the night. Jaimini Rishi was resting outside under the tree. When it was 12:00 in the night, then a thought came in his mind that we are resting here under the tree and that girl is sleeping comfortably in my ashram, this is not good. Let's go and after getting the door opened, we will also rest in our ashram. Jaimini Rishi went there and started knocking on the door. But the girl who was inside was told by Jaimini Rishi himself not to open the door. That is why the girl started saying that no you are a ghost, we will not open the door.

Jaimini Rishi was saying that no I am Jaimini Rishi himself who told you this, open the door. Even then the girl was not opening the door. Now Jaimini Rishi climbed up to his resting house. After climbing up, a small space was left for the smoke to come out. He was trying to enter from that. Now as soon as he put his foot down from the upper path, his disciple Vyas ji came from above and caught him and said Jaimini Rishi what are you doing here at night.

His foot is caught from below by the girl who is Vyas ji himself and had come in the form of a girl to take the test. Vyas Ji says that whatever shlokas Jaimini Rishi has written in Shrimad Bhagwat are true, correct. Because the senses are so strong that if they are not controlled, they go astray. Today we have proved this to you and also showed it to you. In this way Vyas Ji made Jaimini Rishi also realize the power of senses. The senses present in the body like eyes, ears, mouth, hands etc. go astray very quickly. That is why one should always control his mind with restraint.

A saint lived in Varanasi. He used to be very much engaged in worship, recitation, penance, meditation. When he used to go to the banks of Ganga ji to take bath, a prostitute used to live in the middle of the way. Whenever he used to go to take bath, she used to ask Baba, is your beard real or fake. That Mahatma ji used to go quietly. He did not answer her words. After many days when Mahatma ji passed away. Then people were taking his body through the same path to immerse it in the five elements.

Once again that prostitute asked, Baba, is your beard real or fake? That Mahatma ji sat down. He said that today I will answer your questions. What you have been asking for the last many years, today I am telling you, this beard is real. Mahatma ji said that I was not answering your questions earlier because I had a doubt in my mind that I might get lost. But now I have left my body, that is why today I am going after answering your questions.
