Amdavad Section Vach. 5 Vachanamrut Rahasyarth Pradeepika Tika

Again, Kubersinhji asked, “Oh Maharaj! Tell us the characteristics of the four [great achievements of human life]; the religious decree (dharma), wealth (arth), worldly desires (kaam) and salvation (moksh).” Shreejimaharaj then smiled gently and said, “The characteristic of wealth is the amassing of riches. It also relates to accumulating virtues for one’s own salvation; that is also the characteristic of wealth. The characteristic of the religious decree is spending that acquired wealth for the religious purposes of the Satsang, and not wasting it inappropriately. That is the characteristic of the religious decree. The characteristic of worldly desire is being married to one woman, and even then only having sex with her at appropriate times, and remaining detached from all other women in the world by considering them to be equivalent to a mother, sister or daughter. The characteristic of salvation is vigilantly abiding by the vartmans of the Satsang and maintaining an unfaltering determination for God. That is the answer to those four questions.” Having said this, Shreejimaharaj rested.
