Cintamani Dhama dasi: we must act correctly on the guidance of sastra….if we don’t there will be no success or happiness. That’s what I understand from this:
“So direction is there. That is sastra. Yah sastra-vidhim utsrjya… If we do not care for the sastra, whimsically manufacture our own ways of life, na siddhim sa avapnoti, it will never be successful. Na sukham. And there will be no happiness. Na param gatim.”
