Throughout our life we remain under the illusion that we are a precious gift to our family, society and country. If we were not there, this would not have happened, if we were not there, that would not have happened. Our family cannot live without us. We do all the good works in the society. We are the head of the household. If we don’t stay, we don’t know what will happen to our house. We have sacrificed our lives for our families. We live only for them.
Do you know what your importance is to people? Except for one or two relationships, everything else is selfish. If you want to know your worth, then leave everyone for a few days and go somewhere far away. Then see how many people remember you. Change is the rule of the world. If there had been no change, the leaves would have remained dry on the trees. New leaves would not have come. The flowers would have rotted and spread dirt. Man does not die, children are not born. God has made a very beautiful system for everyone. Whoever has come will have to go. Like, after performing on the stage, one has to leave, only then others come and show their skills. Similarly the order of the world also continues. Despite knowing all this, man remains worried about his ego.
God has made man the most intelligent creature. But one thing that made him wrong was his arrogant nature. Like humans, other living beings also do all the work. But God did not give them speech through which the ego could manifest. When man thinks that he has the power to reproduce, animals also reproduce. Man thinks that he has built big buildings. So the birds also pick straws and make their nests. Even if a man’s house gets damaged by a storm, nothing happens to the bird’s nest. The man says that I take care of my family. Even animals and birds bring food for their children in their beaks. Man thinks that he has many friends and acquaintances, then you must have seen the ant too, when it walks, it moves along with every other ant.
A person always considers himself the most intelligent creature. And why not, because God has made him the most intelligent creature. But man takes wrong advantage of it. God gave him the power to think and understand, so with this he proved himself to be the most intelligent person. God gave man qualities like mercy and forgiveness, but man kept all these aside. God gave man two hands, (because no other creature has hands) so that man can serve someone with these hands. But man has hurt so many people with these hands. God gave man the power of speech so that he can explain himself to others and praise God. But with this very speech the man hurt the souls of many people.
If a man wishes, by doing good deeds from birth till death, he can improve his world and the afterlife. But man always keeps conquering himself through cleverness and cunningness throughout his life. While doing all these things he forgets what his status is. Will he be able to enjoy the things that he has spent his whole life to enjoy for life after life? After all, when God calls, he will have to go. He does not know that his condition is like that of a thief. Who is ready to take risks without worrying about his life. Who also knows what will happen to him if he is caught. Similarly, man also knows that one day he has to go. And that too is not in his hands. Then tell me how much power he has left.
Once a maid’s son was playing in a royal palace. While playing, a diamond came into his hand. He ran and took it to his mother. When the mother saw it and understood that it was a diamond, she called the child a liar. Said that it was a piece of glass and she threw that diamond outside the palace. And after some time she picked up the diamond from outside and went away, and she showed that diamond to a Soni, Soni also said the same. So there is a piece of glass and he also threw it out, the woman went away from there, later Soni picked up the diamond and went to the jeweler and showed the diamond to the jeweler. The jeweler came to know that it was a unique diamond. And his intentions got spoiled and he also told Soni that it was a piece of glass and he picked it up and threw the diamond out and as soon as it fell out, the diamond broke and shattered. A man was watching this entire incident, he went and Asked the diamond, why did it not break when it was thrown twice and why did it break the third time?
Heera replied, neither that woman knew my value nor that Soni. Only that jeweler knew my true value and despite knowing, he made my value like glass, it just broke my heart and I was shattered to pieces. Such people keep trying to humiliate human beings in every matter. But people who are precious like diamonds, their value is understood even by the people who degrade them.
So friends, if you have come into this world then do something good so that people can remember you. Do not cause trouble to anyone else for your material happiness. Your honesty, clarity and good thoughts are your assets. This is all that matters to you. And this is what your status tells you.
