Premanand Maharaj told that the habit of comfort makes a person weak from within. Bathing with hot water reduces stamina, whereas bathing with cold water strengthens the body, mind and self-confidence. This simplicity is the real strength of celibacy.
Premanand Maharaj: Nowadays people are looking for comfort and convenience in every work. According to the elders, if a person continues to search for comfort in life, then one day he will become completely weak from within. Earlier people lived a simple life, ate simple food and their body remained strong. However, today’s habit of comfort brings happiness but gradually weakens stamina, discipline and self-confidence. A devotee asked Premanand Maharaj a question related to these comforts. The man asked Maharaj ji, “Should we take bath with hot water?”
Premanand Maharaj replied, “If you take bath in hot water, you will become very weak. This means that the habit of rest weakens the stamina and inner strength of the person. In fact, hot water gives rest, but gradually weakens the natural energy of the body.” When we get scared of the cold of nature, both our body and mind become weak.
