Uninterrupted Spiritual Practice
(Akhand Saadhan)

Saints have said ‒

गुल सोर बबूला आग हवा सब कीचड़ पानी मिट्टी है ।
हम देख चुके इस दुनियाको सब धोखेकी-सी टट्टी है ॥
       and ‒
चाख चाख सब छाँड़िया माया रस खारा हो ।
नाम सुधा रस पीजिए     छिन बारंबारा हो ॥
                         लगे हमें राम पियारा हो ॥
Therefore ‘Chaakh chaakh sab chhaandiyaa maaya ras khaara ho’ ‒ When this will all taste bitter, then automatically it will come to an end,  it will break off.   
The relationship that we had established with the body,  it is just like the relationship that a man has established with his wife in the householder life.  i.e the relationship is established for the purpose of renunciation.   However,  man forgets this,  and this is called ignorance- foolishness.     
Therefore,  now remember this, that "we have established a relationship with these things,  only for the purpose of renunciation.”  It is for renunciation only that we have to test it,  and on seeing we have to leave it,  whereby on moving forward our mind will no longer go towards it.   We have assumed a sense of mine-ness with the body.   If we do not leave it, if we are unable to leave it,  then understand it’s nature.   When you understand it’s nature,  then relationship with it will not remain.    
Therefore God out of His grace has created this beautiful world, that nothing ever remains the same.   God is giving functional instructions to all beings,  saying that whoever you establish an affinity with, that one will not remain the same (unchanged).  They say one thing with amusement,  that between God and man there is some sort of obstinacy.   “Jeev” (man, embodied soul) says - I will develop affinity.   God says -  Child !  I will break affinity.   Jeev says,  I am a child.  God says - I will not let childhood remain.   Jeev says,  I am young and youthful.  God says - this too I will not let it remain so.   Jeev says -  this is how large my family is.  God says -  this too I will not let it remain so.  Jeev says - I have so much wealth  with me.   God says -  I will not let this too remain with you.   Jeev says I am very  healthy -  God says,  this too I will not let it remain.   Jeev says -  I am sick and unwell.    God says -  this too,  I will not let it remain.    God says that “whoever you establish a relationship with,  I will continue to server all those relationships.  As you continue to connect with them,  I will continue to disconnect you from them.”    
Here the meaning of severing relationship, of disconnecting is,  do not start new relationships, then old relationships will break off on their own,  because they are the kind that will break off -   

Antahi tohi tajenge paamar !  Tu na tajai ab hi tein ।
man pacchitai hai avasar beete  ॥
अंतहि तोहि तजेंगे पामर ! तू न तजै अब ही तें ।
मन पछितैहै अवसर बीते ॥
Therefore it is only for realizing its nature,  its very essence, that this relationship has been conjugated,  not for continuing the relationship.
