There are two things that draw man s mind: hita and priya, the beneficial and the pleasant. Prefer the beneficial to the pleasant, for the pleasant might lead you down the sliding path into the bottomless pit. The true doctor is interested in curing you of all illness and so, he advises hita to restore your health.
The Guru is a such a doctor. Obey him, even when his prescription is unpalatable, for, you can be cured only by him. (SSS Vol. 10)
