The first step of renunciation is the renunciation of body consciousness. Once you have renounced body consciousness, the second step is of renouncing all the relations of the body. What do you become when you let go of the consciousness of the body? The soul becomes bodiless, that is, he becomes a master. Since you have become a master of the self, all types of dependency finish, because, from being a servant of the body, you have become a master of the body; you have become free from serving. You cannot be a servant and someone with all rights at the same time. Being a servant is indicated by unhappiness in your mind and it is expressed on your face. Happiness is the sign of someone with all rights and a master of the self. He is constantly cheerful in the mind and the body. A servant is always upset. A master of the self is always seated on his throne. A servant gets confused over trivial matters in a second, whereas one with all rights will constantly experience himself to be in a state of comfort, that is, in a state of rest. Check yourself to see who you are: a servant or a master of yourself? 

 When you say, "My desire is this….", then that desire of yours creates a file of complaints. Let it be: Whatever is the Father's desire is my desire. What is the Father's desire? That each soul becomes one who constantly maintains pure and positive thoughts, who always has pure and positive thoughts for others and is a benefactor of the self and of the world. Constantly keep this desire in your awareness and you will continue to move along without having to labour over anything.  These physical senses are very tiny: the eyes and ears are so tiny, yet they create a very big trap. Although a little spider is so tiny, the web it spins is so large! The web of each of the physical senses is so large! They can trap you in such a way that you don't even know that you are trapped in them. They are such magical webs that they make you unconscious to spiritual consciousness and the Godly codes of conduct. No matter how much souls who have come out of the web try to explain to servant souls and make them understand, what can unconscious souls understand? In a physical way too, no matter how much you shake an unconscious person, no matter how much you try to make him understand, even if you put huge earphones on his ears, would he hear you? Similarly, these webs too make you unconscious like that. So, what pleasure would there then be?
