Gadhada I-55: Resoluteness in Worship, Remembrance and Observance of Religious Vows

Summary

1. When one encounters adverse places, times, actions and company:

1. Resolve in worship, remembrance, and religious vows does not remain steady.
2. Even the highest resolve is dissolved.

2. If the force of good deeds and merits from previous births is extremely powerful, then the resolve remains firm in adverse circumstances.
3. Even in extremely favourable places, times, actions and company, one’s intellect may become polluted:

1. If one has committed a grave sin.
2. If one has spited a great devotee of God.

4. If one serves the great Purush diligently, his sins will be burnt and reduced to ashes.
5. One who associates with bad company and blames God by thinking, “Why did God not keep my mind stable?” is an utter fool.
