| War
day and night
15. All this means that when the
outward performance of svadharma and the purificatory interior
action of remembering God go on together, which the stream of karma
without and vikarma within flows continuously, death will be a
bringer of joy. That is why the Lord says:
"Remember me at all times and
fight."
"Tasmaat sarveshu kaleshu maamanusmara yuddhya cha."
"Steep yourself in Him
always." Be forever absorbed in Him. When love for the Lord
pervades you within and without, and fills the whole of your life,
only then will you find a constant joy in holy things. Then evil
tendencies will not appear before you. Beautiful and noble desires
sprout in the heart : good deeds come naturally.
16. It is true that, when one always
remembers the Lord, good deeds come naturally to one; but the Lord
also commands, "Be fighting all the time."
Tukaram says :-
"Night and day, within and
without, in the heart and in the world, we are at war."
