to this philosophy of honest and pious earnings. One can resort to such means only when one develops Vairagya, due attachment or non-attachment in its correct spirit. Our conduct should be underlined by feelings of fraternity and our mental attitudes must be governed by proclivities of selflessness, sharing and sacrifice. What is honest and pious earning? What is the yardstick or dividing line between dishonest and impure deed on one hand and honest and pious deed on the other? Our conscience is the only guide. Our Self knows what we are doing. Whether it is right or wrong, honest or dishonest or pure or impure. Positively one knows the best. If any other persons come to tell what are the limits or out- line parameters of honesty and piety, we will always come up with some justification or the other specially for our dishonest or impious acts. Abhyasis, as we are, endowed with the spirit of Sri Ram Chandra\u0027s Raja Yoga, our conscience ought to know, it knows well and it shall be only our guide in this respect. Notwithstanding some general axioms and principles of honest or piety, we should depend on our inner conscience - the Voice of God - that will show us the right path, the right direction and right course and action. This is the reason why sages have laid so much stress upon honest and pious earnings.\u000AMeditation is the foundation of spirituality. If\u000Awe meditate having real goal before us, we are sure\u000A109\u000A
