Do not look towards your actions, do not look towards your sins, only look towards God. Just as Viduraani gives God a banana peel, then the Lord eats that peel. The joy that the Lord gets from eating a banana peel, he does not get even from eating the banana kernel "giri". This is because the feelings that Viduraani has in her mind is that God is mine. Just as seeing a hungry child the feelings with which a mother feeds her child, Viduraani's feelings were even greater than that. Similarly, you too accept God as your very own. Do not worry in the least bit about living or dying. Do not be afraid of anyone. You do not have to be reliant on anyone. Simply one thought "Only God is mine, there is none other." If you settle on this thought, then you will be blessed. But to earn lots of money, to enjoy pleasures, to attain name and fame then all this will be of no use -
Sapnaasaa ho jaavasee, sut kuttumb dhan dhaam,
Ho sachet baldev needs, japa ishvar ka name
Manushya tan phir phir nahin hoyi,
Kiya shubh karma nahi koyi,
Umra sab gafaalatmein khoyi |
From today onwards, become God's and remain so. What others do, God only knows. We have nothing to do with all that. If entire world becomes upset, then do not be concerned, but do not leave the point that - God is mine. Meerabai caught hold of the point that henceforth I cannot stay apart from my God. - "Mil bichudan mat keejai." Thereafter even her body was not found after her death. She merged with God and became one with Him ! Besides the one God, I have nothing to do with anyone.
Antahun tohin tajainge paamar, tu na taaje abahee te | (Vinayapatrikaa 118)
In the end all will leave you, no one will remain yours, therefore leave them from the very beginning.
Saadhu vichaarkar bhali samajhyaa, divee jagat ko pooth |
Peeche dekhi bigadatee, pahale baithaa rooth ||
Later on all will get spoilt, then spoiling your own work, what is there to be gained? Right now become God's. You and yours and I and mine.
There is no one that is ours and we are no ones, only God is mine and I am God's. Taking the support of the Lord's lotus feet, become blissful. Who is pleased, who is displeased, who is mine, who is not mine, do not be concerned about all these things. Whether they criticize or praise; condemn or honor, it is their wish. We have nothing to do with praises or criticism, honor or dishonor. If all become pleased, then so what? And if all become displeased, then so what? What has it got to do with us? (to be continued)
