``Orang-orang ragu ragu memasuki lapangan "Sadhana", meskipun mereka mengharapkannya untuk memetik kegembiraan. Mereka tidak rela mengeluarkan sepotong kue, mereka enggan menggunakan tenaga sedikit juapun, tetapi mengharapkan "Moksa" (pembebasan) jatuh dari sorga keatas pangkuannya. Mereka menginginkan mempunyai pandangan Ketuhanan yang disuntikkan tanpa rasa sakit kedalam otaknya. Ketika Maitreyi diberi harta benda yang banyak jumlahnya dari Yajnawalkya, dalam bentuk emas dan ternak, ketika ia meninggalkan tanah dan tempat tinggalnya, demi pencarian spiritualnya. Maitreyi bertanya kepadanya, apakah barang-barang tersebut mungkin berguna baginya dalam pencariannya. Ketika suaminya menjawab, bahwa harta benda tersebut bersifat sementara dan sangat murah bila dibandingkan dengan kekayaan pengalaman spirituil, akhirnya Maitreyi menyisihkannya dan berusaha mendapatkan kekayaan "Tapa" dan "Sraddha" tersebut.``
(Sathya Sai Baba)
================================
''people heSitate to enter the field of sadhana, though they crave for the harvest of joy. they are not willing to spend apie, they are reluctant to do an iota of exertion; but they want moksha to drop from the heavens on their laps. they would fain have the vision of god thrust painlesSly into their brain! when maitreyi was given by yajnavalkya vast wealth in the shape of gold and cattle, when he left hearth and home on his spiritual queSt, she ask him whether they would be of any use for her in her quest. when her husband replied that they were transient and cheap when compared to the wealth of spiritual experience, she cast them off and Sought the precious wealth of thapas (austerity) and Sraddha (faith). she got eternal joy through them.''
