Some people say that this affection, the sense of mine-ness does not leave me. If your intentions are genuine and honest, then God will make them leave. Call out to God, O' Lord ! I do not want to accept these things as mine, then God will say, very well ! and that sense of mine-ness (mamta) will go away. However, this will take place only if there is a genuine intention and longing from the heart to be free of this sense of mine-ness (mamta). If you do not want to leave, then it will not leave even when death comes. You will have to become a ghost-a phantom. Wearing the same clothes, they come to the same houses. Many people have seen them. Even after becoming a ghost, a spirit, the sense of mine-ness will not leave. Therefore the things in this world that you have developed affection and sense of mine-ness for, they become the main cause for returning to this world. This it self is a grave mistake.
This entire world is God's, but we have assumed it to be ours – this is dishonesty. It is not sincerity. Brother – sisters, mothers ! minimally at least accept that all the things and beings that you regard as your own, they are all belonging to God, then it will all become an offering (prasaad) of God. Thereafter become joyful, that I am receiving the Lord's prasaad. Who can be more fortunate than me? If the thing goes away, then the Lord's thing has gone away. Absolutely do not accept it as your thing. Yes ! most certainly take good care of it. Now tell me, will there not be joy even at death. Kabirdasji says -
Sab jag darape maran se mere maran aanand |
Kab mariye kab bhetiye, puran paramaanand ||
"There is joy on my death, because we will meet our dear and loving Lord." We will go to our home. The Lord is our home, our country, our family. He is ours, and We are his very own part (ansh). We are of the same "jaati" (class) as the Lord. We are His relative. You and me, we are all God's. This country is not our country -
In aangani – ye hey sakhi, hum khelan aaye |
Kayi khelyaa kayi khel si, kayi khel sidhaaye ||
This is a stage for acting out the play. All we have to do is act and play. By regarding the play things as our own, is itself a mistake.
You all tell me that there is lack of peace, there is sorrow, there is vexation - what to do? Brothers ! the dishonesty that you have committed, by accepting the things that belonged to God as your own, you will have to suffer the pain from it. It is due to regarding these things as your own that you are not peaceful. Wherever you leave the sense of "mine-ness" (apnaapan), peace immediately follows.
Nirmamoha nirahankaarah sa shaantimadhigacchyati || (Gita 2/71)
Sisters and mothers ! while staying in your home, proclaim that from henceforth, I will do the work, you all rest ! You do the work of all the members of your household. If you are a mother-in-law, then may you tell your daughter-in-law "Child, wait, I will take care of it." The daughter-in-law says "Ram ! Ram !! O' Lord ! how can it be so? Seniors working, while I am here?" then the mother-in-law says - "Child ! while I am alive, I should most certainly work" the daughter-in-law says, "mother ! You work, while I sit around? How can that be possible? If you go away, then who will we show the work that has been done? There the work will have to be done by me" In this manner, let there be a race in every homes for the first to do the work. Sister-in-law says, I will do the work. Daughter-in-law says, I will ! Pleasure, rest, praise is for others, where-as the housework, effort, is for us. Then you will not have to come to this world. When you have not accepted anything as your own and you have served all, then for what will you return here? (to be continued)
