The pleasure from external objects is one of dependence.  Dependence can only be subordination and nothing else -  “Paraadheen sapanehun sukh naahin.”  Whereas one feels contented within when -
 

Godhan gahadhan baajidhan aur ratan dhan khaan ।

Jab aave santosh dhan sab dhan dhoori samaan ॥


When he develops contentment within himself, "Santoshaamruttruptaanaam yatsukham shaant chetsaam,”  there is great joy.  There is nothing he wants. There is no need of anything.  How will he live?   Why to even want to live?  If God desperately wants to make him live, then he will remain alive.  If not, then let it go,  he have nothing to do with living.  He has nothing to do with this body.  He have nothing to do with this life breath.    God, saints, great souls, world - all have a need, but he has no need for anyone.  Not even God.   Now, even God has a need for such a person.     “Mein hun bhagatan ko das, bhagat mere mukutmani”
  God is a devotee of His devotees.   God feels great joy in being a servant of His loving devotees.  Mother has great joy in taking care of her child, or else how would you and me have grown up so much?   She raises her children with great pleasure.   The mother feels great joy, even though the child may urinate or do potty on the mother.  


A gentleman was saying that there was a Madan Mohanji Maharaj of Kashi who had gone for a wedding.   Many women had dressed in beautiful saris at the wedding.  There was a child in a mother’s lap, and another lady was sitting next to her.   The child was beginning to do potty. On hearing the sound of the child doing potty, the nearby ladies said - "look the child is doing potty". To this, the mother said "do not make any noise, and don’t speak too loudly right now,  it will scare the child and he will not be able to complete his job.  Therefore be silent please."


Now is any service or worship taking place by this mother?    She said - "be silent".  She was wearing a silk saree but didn't hesitate to have it become soiled. On the contrary she said "do not speak loudly, the child will not be able to finish his job."
   Now tell me, is she serving and worshiping the child over here?   She is concerned about the child's health and well-being.  


Mother Yashoda is scolding Kanaihya (child Krishna).  “Why did you eat the mud, Lalla,  tell me?”  She has a stick in her hand and is scolding saying - why have you eaten soil?   “Have I ever refused you any milk-yoghurt etc.?  Then why are you eating mud?”  She scolds him in this manner.  What does she mean?  She is concerned that if he eats soil then his stomach will go bad, and he will fall ill.   He will suffer.
This was her worry.  Kanaihya did not care about this.  He said, these people are all lying.  I am the only one speaking the truth said Kanaihya to his mother.  There is no one who is as good as me.   The mother laughed and said,  I know how good you are!   The Lord said that he is telling the truth, that no one is as good as Him in Vraj.  The mother does not have trust in him.  She says,  I know you well!   The mother loves him dearly, in fact intensely, and the Lalla is extremely naughty.  What could He give to a mother who was breast-feeding him.   He liberated even the one who gave Him poison (Putna).   He surrenders Himself to the mother who breast-fed Him,  what else can He give her?    If mother wanted to tie Him up with a rope, then he would get tied up.  Here He gets called Damodar.   Now tie,  now release,  do as you wish, Maiyya (mother) !    She is My mother,  it is her wish to do what she wants with me.  So it is ,  these are also inner sentiments !  God comes under the influence of he whose has inner feelings and sentiments.  “Bhaavgrahi janaardanah” .  Therefore wherever there is loving and devotional sentiments, can it be a burden?  Tell me !  What is lacking is our inner sentiments and feelings. 

Narayan!  Narayan !!  Narayan !!!
