The right place is the āshram. Go to the āshram and do your sādhanā. This does not mean you are only sitting and meditating, eating and sleeping. It means becoming a part of the āshram. Whatever you do there counts a thousand times more. If you do good things, it counts a thousand times more good for you. And if you do stupid things, it counts a thousand times more stupid things for you. If you do stupid things in the āshram, those stupid things will fall on your shoulders a thousand times more. One saint said, "Lord, if I do not get liberation, Mokṣa, in this life and I have to be born again—if I am not worthy enough to be born again as a human, but I have to be born, Sir, Lord—even if I have to be born as a dog, please bless me that I will be a dog at the door of the saint, at the āshram." There, I will get darśan and Mahāprasāda, the blessing. The mother of Nārada Ṛṣi, Māīkā Nārada Ṛṣi, when Nārada was very young, her husband died. She used to go to the āshram and bring prasāda from there. At the first eating, she used to give this prasāda to the deer, the young child. That Nārada became a great Siddha. Therefore, the āshram. Whatever you do, if you do sādhanā in the āshram, it has a thousand times more effect than if you do it somewhere else. The place and the time in the āshram is very intensive. Where is the āshram? Where is the best holy place for you? It is there where your Master is. So Mahāprabhujī said, "Without your Master, you will not be successful. You can go to many pilgrimage places, you can bathe in the Gaṅgā, you can do everything, but your sādhanā will not be fruitful; then your sādhanā will not be successful." Therefore, we do not live this human life just to enjoy, but to solve the purpose of our life in this universe: to get liberation, to be liberated. Therefore, the holy place, the divine, is there where your Master is. Utilize each and every three minutes of your life to be there where your Master is residing, to understand and to practice.
