Believe and accept God and know the world. How to
know God? By knowing God is present
(existing, IS, Eternal, Permanent). And how to know the world? By knowing that the world is NOT (it is
non-existing, impermanent, perishing, constantly changing). On knowing the
world correctly, God will manifest. If
this point is clearly witnessed, then why is it not examined deeper? In this the reason is that we take pleasure
from this world. As long as there is
greed for worldly pleasures, till then even on saying that "this world is
perishable, it is impermanent, it is unreal," then too it will not be seen as so.
A black bee, drills a hole in a bamboo and lives
there. The bamboo is so very hard, but the teeth of a bee are so strong that it
is able to drill holes in it! But when
it rests on a lotus flower, and at night
when the lotus closes it's petals, then it is unable to drill its
way out. It thinks that the night will
pass by, and when the morning comes,
with the sunrise, then the lotus will blossom again and at that time I will fly
away. It makes holes in a very hard
bamboo, but is unable to drill the soft petals of the lotus. Is it so weak? It becomes weak because it takes pleasure
from the lotus, therefore it becomes weak!
Similarly men take
pleasure from the world, and therefore they become weak. There is a saying in Bikaner - "raadaraa kaacha" in other worlds, in
front of a woman, a man becomes weak and "kaccha". What is kacchapan? Taking pleasure from the world is itself "Kacchapan". We have to get rid
of this "kacchapan".
"God is" is accepted and "the world is
perishable" is self-evident. If you correctly
and truthfully get to know the world, then God will manifest Himself, that is all there is
to it. Sit for sometime and let this
point settle in that outside-inside, up–down,
everywhere there is only God. Just as
while taking a dip in the ocean, there is water everywhere, on all four sides,
like that there is only God and God only everywhere. The pitiable world is getting destroyed just like that!
Questioner - How to be free of wanting to
take pleasure from the world?
Answer -
If you understand
this to be your weakness, then it will be go away. It will go away when
you let it go away. Someone else cannot get rid of it. Therefore you
exert your full effort. Thereafter if it does not go away, then call
out to the Lord "He Naath! He
Naath!" It is a principle that when a
man becomes helpless, then he most
certainly takes the support of the Almighty. One
is that you do not want to get rid
of the attraction you have towards worldly pleasures. And another is
that you
do not get rid of it. These are the two obstacles. When these two
obstacles are removed, then
too if attraction to pleasure does not leave, then at that time, you
will call
out to God on your own. Even when
things don't happen according to the child's wishes, then he begins to
cry, and on crying all work gets done. In the same way, Gentlemen!
Cry in front of the Lord, then all will be alright. That Lord is
entirely capable. When He is present, why must we experience
suffering? God is ours. The child says that mother is mine, then the
mother has to take him in her lap. She
is only a mother of this life; but Lord is the Eternal Mother of all.
