How to be Free of Attraction to the Fleeting and Perishing

Understand this with absolute certainty that this is going to go away, because there is weakness in this relationship. Therefore it is the kind that will eventually end. If it was not the kind to end , then how would the hold on it be weakened? Gita says - "Naabhaavo vidyate satah". The real never ceases to exist, but the unreal is moving towards non-existence. If it is decreasing then it is moving towards non-existence, isn't it? Then one must get power from this that this is going to leave. If it was not the kind to leave, then why would it decrease? And if it has decreased then it will eventually go away. It will surely go away Where is the question of it staying! That which decreases will surely end. If it is diminishing, then it will also end. If its lifespan reduces then it will surely die, how can it continue to live?

We know how to attach and detach in relationships. We got into a relationship with mother - father, with wife and son, we continue to establish new worldly relationships, and relieve ourselves of older relationships, but our relationship with God is innate and natural. Our relationship with the world is not natural and innate. We get to know this from the scriptures and from the saints. If we experience this, then though our relationship with God is out of faith, as He is not seen, but worldly relationships are parting, this is most evidently seen, therefore one must not loose hope and strength that it does not leave. This is surely going away. Even if you do not leave it, then too it will part ways. However, if you don't leave it, and it leaves, then it can be held on to again, and if you leave it, then it will not be grasped again. Simply, do not accept that it does not go away. It is going away, accept this point from today onwards. Sentiments that it does not go away are not good, therefore accept that it is departing, and we are letting go. The satsang that we are doing right now, it is going away. All in all is coming to an end. Now who to love, who to keep, who to regard as our very own!

Rajjab roven kaun ko hase se kaun vichaar |
Gaye so aavanke nahi rahe so jaavan haar ||

This is all going away, remain firm on this point. Do not believe that it is not leaving, it is surely leaving right now, accept this. Why to believe the opposite point that it is not going away! Believe that it is going away !

Questioner - However, this appears pleasing to us, Maharajji !

Swamiji - It appears pleasing, but it is going away. Do not be concerned about it, so be it! Do not be fearful that you find it pleasing. Stay firm on the point that this all is departing. Really speaking, though it is pleasant, but it is coming to an end. The inertness of it being pleasant will be rooted out. Yes! it feels good, but it will not remain.

This is such a great point! However pleasing that it may be, but it will not remain. Youthful years feel good, but they will not remain. Affinity with wife and son is pleasing, but it will not remain. That is all there is to it. Isn't this the truth?

Questioner - Yes Sir!

Swamiji - If it does not remain, then how can it be pleasing? That good feeling will become lesser and lesser. Now do not be concerned about this ! Our work is getting done, it is coming to an end!

Narayan ! Narayan !! Narayan !!!
