Vachanamrut
"For instance, the skin of a tamarind seed tightly adheres to the seed. Yet, when the seed is roasted over a fire, the skin chars and loosens. It can then be effortlessly peeled away by rubbing the seed between one's hands. Similarly, through the practice of meditation and receiving divine teachings, the karan body separates from the jiva as easily as the charred skin of a roasted tamarind seed. However, even after attempting countless other methods, one cannot eliminate the jiva's ignorance embodied in the karan form."
Bapashrini Vato
"Just as a groom goes for his wedding, eats there, plays, and when it's time to receive the bride, he remains occupied watching the monkey play; similarly, the soul has come to satsang to attain the Mahaprabhu, but during meditation, it doesn't remain idle and gets involved in worldly activities. This analogy has been given. Therefore, one should examine how to attain the Supreme. What a great attainment we have! So, one should focus on the form (of God) and leave other distractions aside."
