    In the spiritual field the promotions and demotions occur in a fraction of second

    The detachment from the family has no external physical significance. King Janaka remained in the family and attained Brahman (karmanaivahi… Gita). The Lord used the word sam siddhi in his case in Gita (scripture), which means that he attained the complete fruit. The prefix sam denotes the completeness of the fruit. He did not leave the family like Buddha but he was detached from the family internally in the real sense. In the spiritual field reality is essential because none can fool God. The first adjective in the spiritual knowledge used is truth (Satyam Jnanam…. Veda). The external atmosphere does not certify the truth. You need not bother about the good certificates given by the public or the criticism given by the public because both are invalid in spiritual field. You should be truthful to your inner consciousness, which gives the real certificate of your state. You may be the first hand saint, but what is the guarantee that you can maintain the purity throughout your life?

    If the first hand saint has lost the purity and gets attracted by world, he has become the householder and is not even equal to the second hand saint (yaastemanasasmaran… Gita). The second hand saint may maintain the purity in the rest of the life and he becomes the first hand saint in the rest of his life. In the spiritual field the promotions and demotions occur in a fraction of second. Sacrifice of the world in one instance is not the final because such a state should be maintained throughout the life. The test by the Lord reveals the truth of the internal reality. King Janaka was in discussions with Sadguru Yajnavalkya. A news came that the entire city including his house is being burnt. Janaka continued the spiritual discussions without any break. The so called first hand saint in this Kaliyuga may leave the discussions and run into the kitchen if somebody says that the boiling milk on the stove is overflowing. Therefore, the internal state is reality and mere external state cannot be the reality. Hanuman was a first hand saint who left his family for the sake of the Lord. Since He is unmarried, the only bond was with His mother. He cut that bond. But in the context of the protection of Yayati from Rama, He voted for His mother against Rama. That shows the first hand saint was attracted by the family. Of course, Hanuman is the God’s incarnation and He was acting in that role to show that even the first hand saint may slip. We should always take the message given by the role and should not analyze the real state of the actor.

    Shankara never returned back to His house except in the last few minutes of the life of His mother. The family never attracted Buddha even though two ministers of His royal family tried a lot. Gopikas (devotee of God) were householders and never left their families. But they became mad when Krishna left them. They were always in the memory of Krishna and in their madness. They never became even aware of their families, which means that the world could never enter their minds. That shows the stage of the first hand saint.
