Internal steadiness is more important than external show of steadiness

The body,  house  and  objects meant for worship can all be used  in yukta vairagya.   All  that  is  necessary is  the  internal steadiness of  the  devotee to  achieve success.     An  external show  of steadiness is only  for others  to see.   If there  is internal devotion and  steadiness, very quickly  the bondage of the material world will disappear.
