Narottamdas Thakura great devotee and Acharya of the Goudiya Vaisnava sect has sung like this. "My Lord I have simply wasted my life. Having obtained the humanly body I have neglected to worship your Lordship and therefore willingly I accepted poison". In other words the humanly body is specially meant for cultivating knowledge of devotional service of the Lord without which the life becomes full of anxieties and miserable conditions. Therefore, those who have spoiled their life without such cultural activities, such persons are advised to leave home without any knowledge of friends and relatives and being freed from all obligations of family, society, country etc and thus give the body up at some unknown destination so that others may not know where and how such person has had met his death. "Dheera" means one who is not disturbed even there is sufficient provocation or causes of disturbance in life. One cannot give up the way of comfortable family life due to affectionate relation with wife and children. Self-realisation is obstructed by such undue affection of family life and if anyone is at all able to forget such relation some how or other, he is called the undisturbed or Dheera. This is however a path of renounced order of life based on the sentiment of frustrated life but stabilisation of such renouncement is possible only by association of bonafide saints and self-realised souls and thus be engaged in the loving devotional service of the Lord. Sincere surrender unto the lotus feet of the Lord is possible by awakening of transcendental sense of service made possible by association of pure devotees of the Lord. Dhritarastra was lucky enough to have a brother whose very association was a source of liberation for his frustrated life.
