Life and Death in the Ashram

No Demands [6]

I have the idea of giving up the cot I was offered because I could not get a cot to my taste. Should I keep whatever comes, or should I do without?

Why keep up these vital desires, “a cot to my taste” etc.? I have always lain on any cot given to me, not asking whether it is to my “taste” or not. It seems to me the proper attitude for a sadhak.
