The rose may fall on the earth, but thereby it does not lose its fragrance. Similarly, the mind filled with bhakti may be engrossed in duties, but it does not lose its spiritual fervour thereby. When one is out of his spiritual moorings, disharmony sets in; balance is disturbed; mind begins to react. Anger comes even with the slightest provocation. Then misery follows. Tormented by anger and misery, one commits sin.
