How can we become true spiritual aspirants? Bhagawan lovingly explains the difference between an aspirant and a worldly person so that we may transform ourselves.

Realising that tending of the body is not all-important, one must bear patiently, even hunger and thirst, and be engaged uninterruptedly in the contemplation of the Lord. Instead, quarrelling over every tiny little thing, losing one's temper, becoming sad at the slightest provocation, getting angry at the smallest insult, unable to resist thirst, hunger and sleep, these can never be the characteristics of a Sadhaka (spiritual aspirant)! Rice in its natural state and rice that is boiled, can these two be the same, any day? The hardness of natural rice is absent in the boiled one. The boiled grain is soft, harmless and sweet. The unboiled grain is hard, conceited and full of delusion. Both types are Jivis and men, no doubt! But, those who are immersed in external illusions are ‘men’; those who are immersed in internal illusions are ‘Sadhakas’!
