Only That One God is mine - There is no greater sacrifice then this, no greater austerity, no greatercharity, no greater holy place, no greater knowledge, no greater talk. Therefore, believing God to be our own, remainever joyful. Let there be no desire to go, nor tostay. Only God is of concern. Besides God, no one else is mine at all. Inthe infinite universes, not even a tinyspeck is mine, not even a small thing like a spark is mine. There is nothing that is mine, nothing wasmine, nothing will be mine, and nothing can ever be mine. Therefore, accept that one God as your very own, then you will be greatlybenefited. Besides God, you have nothingto do with anyone even in your dreams. There is no need to be a slave to anyone. What have we to take from anyone, what have we to give to anyone. Those who are related to us, for how long will they be with us! "sapnaa-sa ho jaavasi, sut kutumb dhan dhaam" ! A dream is remembered, but those people will not even be remembered. Just has when you dislike adream, then you will forget it. In this world, this man is good, and thisone is no good; this should happen, andthis should not happen, these are simplyattachments. Attachment is at the rootof all diseases. "Mohasakal byaadhinh kar moolaa" (Manas, Uttarkaand 121/15). Whether it becomesalright or not, what has it got to do with us? Others may seek us out, but whatneed do we have of anyone? What have wegot to do with the men of this world? Simply remember one thing - " Mere toGiridhar Gopal, Doosero na koyi" "Only God is mine, there is none other."
If you feel thirsty, then drinkwater, if you feel hungry then eat bread (roti). If you feel cold, then coveryourself with cloth. However, if you don't get apiece of cloth, then so be it! If thebody goes away, then well and good, wehave nothing to do with any of this. Wehave nothing to do with the body remaining or the body going away. We are only concerned about God - thinking so, become joyful, rejoice ! Dance ! as now you know, become estatic! Now we need not be a slave toanyone.
Up-down, outside-inside, everywhere, there is that One God only -
Bahiranterschbhootaanaam charam charameva cha (Gita13/15)
Yacchkischijjagatyasmindruschyate shruuyatepi va |
Antrbahishrchtatsarvam vyaapya naaraayanah sthitah || (Mahaanaraayanopanishad11/6)
That God is closer than close, farther than far, more outside than ever, more inside than in. Thereis only that One Paramatma (God), and He is mine - so thinking, become joyful. If someone comes then it is God, if someone goes then it is God. If someone loves, then it is God, if someonehates, then it is God. Whatever anyonedoes, it is God and God alone. Callout to that God, "He Naath ! He Mere Naath ! O' Lord! O my Lord! Let me not forgetYou.: Your life will be fulfilled! This is such a great point! Such elevated talks ! It is so true ! It is so pure ! Do not see to what others are doing. What have we got to do with all that?
