You are running after money,
but money has never said that I am yours, and you are mine? You call the house, property, possessions,
money, clothes, jewelry, etc.
as mine-mine, but have they ever
said that we are yours, and you are mine?
On the contrary, they are
leaving you, they are separating from
you. The family too is leaving. Clothes, jewelry too are leaving.
The clothes are tearing, wearing
out. Then too you keep saying "oh
! my money, my money" ! Is
this civilized? You are willing to lie,
cheat, commit dishonest acts, sin,
commit injustice, for money and feel no fear in doing so. You are not even able to put the money to
good use. Whether you become distant
from God, whether righteousness and
one's duty goes to hell, but by hook or
by crook, in some way or the other, you want to acquire money. Even by evil deeds, in some way or the
other, you want to earn money, and spend it.
That is it! Is this any state to
be in? Think a little. From your heart you want money, but on the surface you chant the Lord's name
!
Uper meethee baat, kataranee khaankhmein |
Aag bujhi mat jaan, dabi hai raakh mein ||
From within the fire has not
died. Cheating, being deceitful, forgery,
defrauding, swindling, in which
every way possible you are scheming and stealing. You say that you see no benefit whatsoever
from doing Naam Japa! How will you see
it? Your mind is filled with filth and
dirt!
What was the reason that Meerabai
became so great? "Mere toh Giridhar Gopal, doosero na koyi"
Only God is mine, that is it. No
one else is mine at all. In this manner,
let there be exclusive relationship with God.
This exclusivity alone will grab hold of
God, not any actions and deeds. If you wish to get hold of God, with objects
and actions, then this will not take place.
If you have a sense of mine-ness (apnaapan) with God, then God
will not be able to even utter a single word. He will be unable to leave
you.
I am God's and God is
mine, then why will he not come? Why has God not appeared so far? On
having such intense longing, when relationship with the world is entirely
servered, then God will be
realized. The relationship with the world is only to serve
the world. While living with the
family, one has to only serve the family members. One should not have any expectation to take
any thing or and assistance from them.
None whatsoever.
Our birth in this world is due to debts and
obligations. I have heard in Rajasthani language , that when someone gives
sorrow then it is said "kaalaa chaabiyaa
hai iskaa" in other words, he has eaten
this person's sesame seeds, we owe some
payment to this person, which he will take.
As many relations that are there,
we have some obligation, some
service owed to them. We have to fulfil those obligations, make those
payments. If you desire liberation,
then minimally at least fulfil the past obligations, why are you taking on new
debts? Serve the world, but do not want anything from the world. "Aasha
hi param dukham, nairashyam param sukham"
(Srimad Bhagwat 11/8/44) There is great pain and suffering from having expectation
from the world, and on not wanting anything from the world, there is great
joy. Mother-father, wife-son,
brother-brother-in-law, all should do as
I please, they should do our work - in this manner our nature has become demoniac,
by engaging in relationship only for wanting more and more from them. (to be continued)
