  • Account book of our deeds!

    August 14th, 2023

    There are some people who remain despised since birth. They never get love from anyone. Poverty welcomes them as soon as they come into the world. They are never able to fulfill any of their wishes. Do you know why this happens? It is the result of your accumulated karma. Which you have been accumulating from birth to birth. This karma is riding on us like a debt. Just like you take a loan from someone, he asks for his money from you, in the same way we have to bear the debt of our actions. Have to take off.

    If there were no enjoyment of these deeds, then why does a child die in the mother’s womb itself? Some die as soon as they are born. Some are born sick. When he was born, he did not commit any sin, then why this with him? Our body is made up of our many good and bad deeds. The result of good deeds is birth in a good family, good education, good living, good family, good manners. etc. While the result of bad deeds is birth in a lowly family, poverty, wrong rituals, diseases, etc. have to face many sorrows.

    If we want to destroy the past sins and enjoy the happiness of the next life, then we have to take a lot of precautions. Never give wrong teachings to anyone. Never take away anyone’s rights. Help others according to your ability. If someone is hurting you, doing injustice to you, deceiving you, hurting your self-esteem, then don’t say anything to him. Because God is watching everything.

    Everything is imprisoned in his camera. The day God sees the CCTV footage, the thief will automatically be caught. If you decide this, God will leave justice to you. If you leave it to God, he will understand how much he has to pay.

    For what purpose has God sent us here?

    God has sent us here to enjoy our previous birth and to improve in the next life. Once upon a time, a husband and wife used to live happily in a small village. Husband’s eyesight was very weak, he used to do his daily life work with great difficulty. He stayed in his house and went out somewhere with his wife. One day he thought that life would pass like this, why not go on a pilgrimage for a few days. Husband and wife were very pious. By going on a pilgrimage, he had a good darshan of God. Suddenly the husband and wife got separated from each other. Even after searching a lot, the wife could not find her husband. The wife tried everything but she failed. She returned home with a sad heart. She used to think only one thing everyday, O God, we were better at home than this. But he never kept any shortcoming in the worship of God. Now she used to remember God even more. As soon as the worry of the future comes, she starts getting scared that how she will spend her life alone. Because God had not even given him any child.

    The wife’s rule was that when she made breads for herself, she would feed the first two breads to the cow. Kept aside for the dog, and always gave two breads to a beggar. Still the same rule was going on. For a few days, she was seeing that the beggar who used to come to buy bread, used to ask for two more breads from him. The woman used to think that her stomach is not full, I will give it. The beggar always used to say this thing while taking bread, my work is in his hands, his work is in my hands. But he never paid attention to the words of the beggar. One day when she heard the beggar’s sentence, the woman got angry with the beggar. Women thought that from now on I will not give bread to this beggar. When the beggar came the next day, he refused to give bread. The beggar said again, my work is in his hands, his work is in my hands. It doesn’t matter friend, both of us will be hungry today, ask among women, for whom else do you take bread. Then Kari said, an old man has been in my shelter for many days. It doesn’t matter if he didn’t give bread, maybe this is God’s wish today.

    Having said this, the beggar turned back to leave. Doubts were now starting to appear in the woman’s mind. So she followed him. After going a long way, the beggar entered a small hut. When the woman peeped inside slowly, she was surprised. What was this? It was her husband. Now she went inside the hut and stood in front of her husband. The husband was very happy to see her. She also brought the beggar to her house. On the same day a saint also came to her house to take alms. The saint seemed to be very learned. He got separated from you for a few months. Due to his good deeds, he started getting bread made by you. And because of the bad deeds of the beggar, he kept begging for so many years. Now his bad deeds also ended.

    The beggar who used to tell you everyday, do what you want in his hands. He fed your husband by begging for food for so many days. As a result of that you got your husband. And the result of the bread you gave to the beggar for so many days, the officer got your refuge. In this way the account of our deeds is completed. Even God leaves us only after recovering his interest.

  • how to calm your mind?

    August 14th, 2023

    Have you ever thought that even if you remain silent, your mind keeps on saying something.  We keep thinking about something or the other all the time.  They do one thing and think something else.  Sometimes about the past, sometimes about the future.  But what about thinking about the past?  And also about the future.  The future has to be shown by doing, not by thinking about it.  If you have a plan to do something, keep it in your mind.  That’s a different matter.

    But if your mind constantly thinks negative things, then it is very important to stop it.  Because it can disturb your peace.  can make you weak.  can distract you from your goal.  Can weaken your relationship.  Can make you fearful or grumbling.  The one who has more upheaval going on in his mind, it can be known from his face only.  The pupils of his eyes do not remain fixed at all.

    For this, for millions of years, our elders, sages and saints have thought out a very good idea.  Meditate for a while.  But when your mind is disturbed, your mind does not even meditate.

    Suppose the parts of your body move the way you move them, don’t they?  When you raise your hand, only then the hand is raised.  When you move your feet, only then your feet move.  Your lips open only when you want to laugh.  You want to cry only then your eyes water.  Sleep comes only when you want to sleep.  If you want to wake up, you will wake up.  You have control over all the parts of your body.  Then why not on the mind?  Why have you left it open?

    Practice this thing every night that I am an almighty soul.  Whatever I want will happen.  If you want that no sorrow should even come close to you.  So it will have less effect on you.  And if you keep remembering your sorrows all the time, then they will increase.  You must know that whatever we think about starts to fructify.  If you think about happiness, its circle will be formed around you.  And if you think about the despair of sorrows, then their scope will increase

    For example, you have eaten some food that upsets the balance of your digestion.  So you will think twice before eating it again, right?  Just like that, when any such thought that bothers your mind, you must think once before taking it inside yourself.  As we know that eating it will spoil our health, even then sometimes we eat it.  Similarly, we also know that thinking about which thing will make our mind restless, yet we think.  For example, if there is indigestion after eating, we take measures for it.  Similarly, we have to take measures to cure the disease of the mind.

    Once upon a time there used to be a very learned monk in a village. His knowledge was discussed far and wide. Even the kings of that country knew how learned the monks were. The king was always restless and worried. One day the king thought why not meet him with a scholar. Early in the morning the king came out of his palace without speaking to anyone and went to the beggar. He told the monk what trouble he was going through. After listening to the king, the beggar said, I can solve your problem, but you will have to come tomorrow morning in Brahma Muhurt, that too alone. And yes remember to bring your mind with you. The king did not understand his words. The king started sleeping, is the mind also beyond the body? But the king had no choice, so he reached him again the next day. On seeing him, the beggar said, give me your restless mind, I will calm it down and give it to you. The king again started thinking that how can I take out my mind? The saint understood the king’s problem, he told the king that your mind is inside you, isn’t it? Then the king nodded in yes. The saint said to the king, now sit with your eyes closed and find your troubled mind inside you. The king could not understand the words of the saint at all. Still, he sat down after listening to them, closing his eyes. When the king closed his eyes, many thoughts started coming in his mind. He was trying very hard to find his restless mind inside himself. A few hours passed like this, the monk asked, have you found your troubled mind? The king said no. Similarly, the beggar called the king to him for three to four days, and used to ask him to sit in meditation every time. Even after doing this for a week, the emperor could not find anything like mind inside. Then the beggar explained to the king, there is no organ called mind inside our body. The mind is just a bundle of our thoughts. There is a queue of files in the office. Which we collect by not working on time

    Sometimes someone said some stinging thing, or a mountain of great sorrows fell on you.  These are all laws of nature.  Happiness and sadness are two sides of the same scale.  The one who maintains balance in these can be happy in life.  So whenever your mind is restless, think for once, let it go.  The world doesn’t stop for anyone, it doesn’t wait for anyone.  One has to try to walk with the world.  Otherwise we will be left all alone.

    That’s why never think that we felt bad about this thing, that thing hurt us. I don’t feel like working today. Today I do not feel like talking to anyone. Today I do not feel like eating at all. The mind is nothing, it is all your negative thoughts. Those who have been created by you only. By giving the name of mind to those thoughts, you become free.

  • do you give up easily?

    August 14th, 2023

    Life is a playground. Seeing a player more skilled than you, never think that I will not be able to stand in front of him. No one is born the best. He has worked very hard to reach this point. And if we work hard only with the body, our mind does not support it, then our hard work goes in vain. That’s why you should always keep your mind connected with your heart. So that whatever you aspire for in your heart may command your mind that we must do this work.

    Two frogs used to live in a pond. One was fat and one was thin. Both of them grew up in this pond since childhood. In between, he also used to take a walk outside. One day both the frogs came out of the pond and went only a short distance. There he saw a boy milking a cow. They saw that the boy took out a lot of milk. Both of them were looking at her with surprise because they had never seen so much milk before. His life was spent only in the dirty water of the pond. Seeing so much white milk, his mind got greedy. He thought why not swim here today. And both of them jumped into the bucket together. After having fun in white milk for a long time, both the frogs thought that now it is getting evening, now we should go home. Both of them tried hard to get out of the bucket, the bucket was too big so they could not get out. Every time he tried to climb up, he would slip back and fall down.

    Both sat quietly for a while thinking what to do now. Meanwhile, the thin frog said to the fat one, brother, we have to go home but we are not able to leave here. For so long we were swimming inside the bucket. Now if we swim a little higher, then at least someone will see us and throw us out. Thinking of this, both of them started swimming back in the milk. It was too late but no one came to take them out. The fat frog was tired of swimming. He told the thin frog that now I will not be able to do it. I am very tired, my feet are hurting. Then the skinny frog said if you stop swimming you will drown. In this way your life is in danger.

    For a while the fat frog kept walking in the milk, at last he was defeated, and as soon as he saw it, he drowned in the milk and died. The skinny frog was saddened to see his friend die like this. He thought that if I stop swimming, I will also die. Thinking of this, he started running his feet fast. Due to the continuous beating of the frog’s feet, the amount of butter in the milk started rising. And the milk started getting thinner. In thin milk, it jumps quickly and sits on top of the butter layer. And takes another jump and comes straight out of the bucket. When he comes out, he doesn’t understand what happened to him today. His childhood friend left him today. If he too had stopped moving like his friend, he might have died too. It is good that I did not give up. He goes towards his house with a sad heart. After the departure of his dear friend, there was no one to play with him and no one to listen to him.

    One day while swimming he found another frog in the pond. With whom he started a friendship. He told all his past incident to his friend. And started telling his friend that never give up in life. If you start giving up then even God will not support you. And if you take a single step forward with high spirits, then God will walk with you. We are never defeated by external challenges, it is our inner weakness that defeats us. Sometimes such a phase also comes in life when we have come half way to success, standing there and looking at the way ahead, we feel that we will not be able to complete it. At that time the weakness of our mind starts stopping us from moving forward. In such a situation, we should never turn back. Because in the amount of time you travel backward, in that much time you will go forward. Time also supports those who support themselves.

    Never consider yourself weak in life. Because theft happens in the same house whose door is open. Not everyone has the courage to steal by breaking the lock. If you fall in the middle of the playground, people will run over you. Always protect yourself from people. Keep your spirits so high that even if you fall, you can get up and sit by the side.

  • do you think too much?

    August 14th, 2023

    There will be only a few people in this world who leave everything on time. Otherwise, every person keeps thinking about his past, present and future. Remembering his past, he cannot live his present properly. Nor can he foresee the future.

    There was a young boy who used to think all day long. If someone told him something, it would touch his heart so much that he could not think of anything beyond that. That incident would sit in his heart so much that he would start cursing himself and would also say bad things to God. All the time he was making this plan of Rahat, how to take revenge on the one who said this to me. He was living with stress and bad mental condition all the time. He himself was troubled by his habits but was unable to do anything for himself.

    One day one of his friends explained to him that there is a very big saint living in the nearby village, you go to him, he will solve your every problem. On the advice of a friend, the boy went to the saint. He prostrated at the feet of the saint and told about his bad habits. After listening to the boy, the saint went inside his monastery. The boy could not understand why the saints went inside after listening to his words. In a short while the saint came out of his monastery with water in an earthen glass in his hand. The saint asked the boy, can you tell how much this glass weighs? The boy said, I will be able to tell but not very accurate. The saint again asked what would happen if I stood holding this glass for an hour or two. The boy replied, maybe this will cause pain in your hand. The saint simply asked, what would happen if I stand holding it all day? Then the boy said that there will be a lot of pain in your hand. Due to this pain, your hand may also become numb. This pain may spread all over your body. Then the saint asked, will the weight of this glass increase if I hold it all day? The boy said no. Then the saint asked, then why would my hand be in so much pain? Then the boy said, from carrying this weight all day. Then the saint asked, then what should I do to get rid of this pain? So the boy replied The glass has to be kept down.

    Then the saint said, you have said absolutely right, such are the problems of our life, which we keep in our mind, then turmoil starts happening there. Then keep it for a few hours, then the mind starts getting heavy. And if you keep it for a long time, then the balance of your mind can deteriorate. If you keep it for two to four days, then the mind can also go mad. Then after all this, it may take you whole life to cure yourself.

    That’s why we should keep our worries in mind for a while. Thinking too much makes our mentality worse. We are not able to take any good decision. The day when excessive thoughts stop arising in our mind, that day we will get a chance to face the supernatural power of the universe. We will be able to take decisions of our life in a jiffy. We will be able to read people’s mind. By not paying attention to the nonsense of people, we will be able to reach our goal in life. No amount of worldly condemnation will deter us. No kind of obstacle will be able to block our path of progress. Then there is no power in the world that can stop us from being successful.

    We will look different in the group of our family members, friends, relatives. Those who used to hurt us by speaking bitter words, now they will also be yearning to be friends with us. Because Mon has that energy that introduces you to the mystery of creation. Which a failed person cannot see. Even if an opportunity comes in front of an unsuccessful person, he doubts it. He cannot take advantage of the opportunity because of thinking too much. Then when the opportunity passes, he remains beaten.

  • How are your relationships?

    August 13th, 2023

    Many people do not know the importance of the beauty of relationships in our lives. Today’s man does not give importance to relationships. This is the reason why he has become lonely in his own house. Money is the reason for the biggest quarrel. Today’s man does not think that money is immovable, it cannot stay with us forever. Love bought by giving wealth does not have the fragrance that real love has.

    A very rich man lived in a village. He had two sons. He was living happily with his family. In the name of the family, he had only wife and two children. When both the sons grew up, they started quarreling with each other over money. Seeing the quarrel of the children, the father started laughing at them. So the children said father here we are fighting so much and you are laughing. Then the father said that you are fighting for such a small property, you do not know how much more property we have. Then the boys said where is your property, show us also.

    The next day the father left for the village with his two sons. Because his ancestral property was in the village itself. When he reached the village, he saw that his mansion had turned into ruins. The jungle is becoming a jungle all around the haveli. Seeing this, the father started crying sitting there. So the boys asked father why are you crying? Then he told his children that I had fought a lot with my elder brother for this mansion. Defeated, my elder brother gave me this mansion and himself settled abroad. Till today after going abroad, he did not inquire about my health. He broke all relations with me. Now I have only you two and your mother in the name of family. You used to have an aunt. My sister said that we should not divide father’s property. Whoever wants to stay here should go and stay here for a few days. Because our childhood was spent in this mansion. We had happy moments with each other. Staying here, we had seen the story of my father from poverty to richness. Even after my sister explained so much, I did not agree. And got this mansion named after him. My sister also got angry with me because of this decision of mine. After this incident, he also never inquired about my well-being. I became all alone in this world.

    When both of you were fighting, I was laughing because you are also fighting for such a small thing. I was remembering my past. I was laughing at my stupidity. But I don’t want you to do what I did. Just as I became familyless in this world, so you also become. We didn’t bring the property for which we are fighting, did we? That’s why always believe in your karma.

    If you have passion, then no power in the world is such that it does not fall at your feet. But relationships will never fall at your feet. Relationships are very fragile, learn to handle them. Just like a knot in a thread, it is difficult to untie it; similarly, a knot in a relationship is also difficult to untie. And even if it is opened, the thread does not remain like before, it becomes crooked.

    It is believed that after coming to this world, we get many friends and relatives. But blood relations are only of blood. There is that yearning in a blood relationship which is not there in a made relationship.

    Once upon a time, two friends were sitting under a tree in a village. Both were talking to each other and while talking, there was an argument between them. One of them got so angry that he slapped the other. But the one who was slapped did not say anything. He simply wrote in the soil that today my best friend slapped me. After writing this, he started going towards home. The other friend who had slapped him was also following him. Now there was estrangement between the two. Both were not talking to each other. While he was on his way home, a bull came running and knocked down the friend who had been slapped. The one who slapped was walking behind. When I saw my friend fall in front of me, I could not help it. He raised her holding her hand. Cleaned the dust from his body. And started looking around to find some ointment to apply on the injury he had suffered. The friend who was hurt this time wrote on his purse with a pin that today my friend has restored his friendship by lifting me who had fallen. Then his friend asked him why do you keep writing like this again and again?

    So the friend replied, when you slapped me, I wrote on the ground so that it would be erased by being crushed by the feet of passers-by. And I never remember And this time I scratched my purse with a pin so that it never gets erased. We should always remember this story. Whenever someone hurts you, try to forget it. And if the same person ever does any good to you, never forget him. Because the forgotten in the morning comes home in the evening, then it is not called forgotten. In the matter of relationships, let us all become children, who quarrel in one minute and befriend in another minute. The purpose of their quarrel is not to hurt anyone’s heart.

  • Prayer is big or medicine?

    August 13th, 2023

    The elders have rightly said that do not be proud.  That we are feeding others. Who knows, we ourselves are eating from the fortune of others.

    A restaurant was very famous.  A huge crowd used to gather there early in the morning.  Many people used to come there to eat.  Taking advantage of this crowd, a man would come and quietly go away with the food.  a man used to watch his foot always that it eats everyday and walks quietly.  He started keeping an eye on her everyday.  Then thought this is a betrayal.  He should have spoken to the owner of the hotel.  But he did not get a chance for a day or two.  Then one day he spoke to the owner.  That every day a man goes to your place and eats and does not give money.  So the hotel owner said this thing is not new to me.  Many people have said this to me.  But you know the crowd in my hotel is also because of the same man.

    How is that I asked.  So the owner said, do you know that the man who goes without paying every day is a beggar and lives under the adjacent stand.  You know, one day I reached that stand while following him.  So saw that he was saying to God, that God you did very well today that there was so much crowd there.  And no one saw me eating.

    Then the owner said, when I opened the restaurant, there was no crowd in my restaurant for many years.  And suddenly one day this beggar came.  He ate the food and started leaving.  I felt like stopping it and asking for money.  Did the voice come from inside my mind or not?  Only after 1 week, I saw that the crowd started increasing at my place.  One day I followed it.  So show me, I was asking God that there should be such a crowd that no one should see me eating.

    This is probably the result of his prayer.  Which is running most of my restaurant today.  I had worked very hard to run like this.  Did a lot of advertisements.  Many times people were fed food for free.  But today, due to his prayer, my fortune shone.  So don’t consider anyone small in life.  Prayer has more power than medicine.

    There are many people in our real life who play an important part in our life, but sometimes it happens that we do not even know their name. Unknowingly some small people whom you help a little and they bless you for the whole life. That’s why if God has given you, then help everyone a little bit. Don’t know whose blessings have become medicine for you.

  • there is no one in the world

    August 13th, 2023

    There is no one of our own in the world, thousands of articles have been written on this. All religious books scholars have always said that no one is our own in the world. Everything means relationships. As long as you have what they mean, they are yours. If you have nothing then no one will be your own. The matter of the parents who gave birth is different. You must have seen your chameleon changing colour. But no one knows when humans change color. In earlier times, when there was an injury, people used to apply turmeric and lime. Today everything has changed, people tell in status what happened to him.

    That’s why if you live in this world then live like a clever wolf. Because the wolf never trusts the keeper. Be nice to everyone on the outside. But be careful inside. May no one harm you, may no one ever do you any good. Then it may happen that you believe in him. But always keep your mind alert. Make your character like salt, which no one can use much, and without which no one can live.

    Sanchita karma means a storehouse. Sanchit means accumulated. Because we have taken many births and the deeds we have done are accumulating. The body which is found at present is called Prarabdha Bhog from which the body was created. Two deeds, auspicious and inauspicious, have been mixed. The human body is formed by mixing both good and bad deeds. Had there been only sinful deeds, I would have had to go to hell. Had there been only good deeds, I would have gone to heaven. When both the deeds got mixed then we got human body and we came to the world of death.

    No matter how people treat you, don’t hurt anyone with your behavior. Because when fate slaps, it does not hit the face but directly hits the soul. Don’t spoil your heart, mind and day for others. Who knows, the day you are getting most frustrated may be the best day of your life. Make yourself wise enough to see the real face of everyone. Never give a second chance to a cheater. Because if he had respect for you, he would never have cheated you. If the relationship is in the heart, then it does not break by breaking, if it is in the mind, then it does not join by connecting.

    People do not discriminate with their own people, even with nature. The sun we look forward to in winter, we despise in summer. People just have to fulfill their purpose. Never let people do what they mean. Life is like a game of Kabaddi, as soon as you touch the line of success people start pulling you back.

  • Do people curse you?

    August 12th, 2023

    Knowingly or unknowingly, we do many things in such a way that people get a chance to curse us. Sometimes we make such a big mistake that it hurts people’s heart a lot. Sometimes we do this intentionally and sometimes it happens unintentionally. When it happens unknowingly, we do not pay attention to it. And when you do it intentionally, then you will have to face people’s abuses. The one whom we have hurt, only curse will come out for us. Never think that no one has seen you by doing wrong things. The vision of the above one is very sharp. The account of everyone’s deeds is in his hands. We have come into this world to settle the accounts of our deeds. And we cannot leave it until the account of our deeds is completed.

    We get our wealth, poverty, sorrow, happiness, family, friends, children, culture etc. according to our deeds. All these things are not the fruits of one birth, but the fruits of many births continue to be received. Whatever we are enjoying in this life, it is the enjoyment of many births. That’s why we should not hurt anyone’s soul. Because when someone’s soul is hurt, then only longing for you comes out from inside that soul.

    There was a very poor man in a village. He used to live his life with great difficulty. One day his wife threw him out of the house and said go earn something and bring it. He left towards the village. On the way he saw some robbers coming running. One of those robbers had a big bag in his hand. Surely the police were behind them, that’s why they were running fast. Suddenly the bag fell from the man’s hand. The robber was so scared that he did not even pick up the dropped bag. The man picked him up when he left. Later he opened the bag and saw that there were many ashrifis in it. He became very happy, he thought that now life will be spent comfortably. By the time this whole incident happened, it became night. Now he was scared to come back with so much money in hand. Because he had never seen so much money in his life. A thought came in his mind, why not visit a friend’s house on the way and rest there for the night. Thinking of this, he went to a friend’s house. Friend fed him food after asking about his latest news. Till then he had not mentioned any incident in front of the friend. After eating food, he started feeling sleepy. And he fell asleep pressing the bag of Ashrafis beside him. His friend was sleeping just a short distance away. At night when his hand would touch the bag, there would be a slight sound from inside it. The friend sleeping next to me was wondering what is in this bag. He got up at night and took out the bag from next to his friend. He was filled with happiness as soon as he opened the bag.

    When his friend woke up in the morning, he saw that his bag was missing. When he asked his friend about the bag, the friend flatly refused. The man turned back sad. And came to his home with a sad heart. Here the friend who had stolen the bag increased his business with that money. Gradually his children also grew up. He had expanded his business by stealing the money of others. That’s why his children became worthless. He fell into bad company. Started destroying his father’s wealth. Gradually all his wealth was lost.

    On the other hand, the friend whose money he had stolen was thrown out of the house by his wife. He was spending his life in the shelter of a saint by going to a forest. I always kept thinking in my mind that I took the money of thieves, that’s why it did not even reach me. I should not have taken Vardhan. If I had earned something by working hard in life, I would not have been lying like this in the forest today.

    The friend who had stolen his money left him heavily in debt after losing all his wealth. Afraid of giving the money back to the people, he ran away from home. While wandering in the forest, he reached the same saint with whom his friend was staying. After the condition worsened, his face had completely changed. That friend of his did not recognize him. He started serving the saint. One night while sleeping, he was mumbling in his sleep. So many Ashrafias. His friend lying next to him was listening to everything. Now he started having doubts in his mind. That this is my friend from whom all that property has been stolen. For one day he mustered courage and asked his friend. Then his friend told the whole incident while crying. Friend said I had done very wrong thing. I am facing the consequences of that today.

    Then his friend also lightened his mind with him. He said friend, it was not even my money. Some robber had left. Don’t know how many abuses he must have abused whose money he had stolen. How many sighs must have come out of his soul. She was full of all this wealth. The robber had earned a sin by stealing it. But leaving him, I also committed a sin. My life was wasted just like that. I felt someone’s sigh on him. Then you stole from me and took trouble on yourself. All this is the result of that. That’s why we should not eat the rights of others in life. No one else’s soul should be troubled.

  • What is yours in this world?

    August 12th, 2023

    I built a house, I set up a business, I did a job. It is full of me in the life of all of us. This is mine, that is his, our life is spent in this confusion. This is the cause of our greatest sorrow. What is not ours, yet we become entitled to it. Have we brought the things we call our own with us? And when things are our own then why don’t we take them with us?

    There was a disciple who was a great devotee of the Guru. Without the darshan of his Guru, he did not even eat any day. He had thought that his life would change by going in the company of the Guru. Despite doing so much service to the Guru, he was not getting much benefit. After getting upset, one day he questioned the Guru. Guruji, there is no change in my life, what should I do? Now I am also getting old. The hair on my head is turning white. Still the change that should come in me is not coming. The Guru said that sometimes we get self-knowledge very soon. And sometimes it takes a long time. Now you do as I say. The Guru sent him some and told him to plant them on the day it rains. And yes, remember that it should rain continuously for three days. And you come back to me again after one year on this very day.

    Now he waited impatiently to return to meet the Guru. At last the day has come when one year has been completed. He went to Guruji and tried to tell everything to Guruji, but Guru again refused. Guru said to him, I know the reason of your restlessness. Have you ever tried to know yourself who you are? Then he said no, I grew up a bit then people said this is your mother so I thought her mother. Then the Guru asked that you don’t remember anything, who are you, where did you come from, where did your family come from. Were your wife, children and family members with you when you were born? Then he replied No Guruji, I had nothing. Neither did I have any wealth, nor was I worried about the future. My mother used to take care of all my worries. I was completely unconcerned with life.

    He came home with the seeds and waited for the rains. Many months passed but there was no sight of rain. Many times when it would rain, he would think that now is the time to plant my seeds, but then the rain would stop. Started feeling sad from inside. Then suddenly one day he saw that it started raining heavily. And it rained continuously for several days. This was the time, he thought, to plant the seed now. He planted the seeds and after two-three months trees also started growing in it. After a few months all the trees were full of flowers. Now his flowerbed had become completely green. Butterflies were buzzing all around. The flowers were so beautiful that people came from far and wide to see them. People used to praise him a lot and used to buy flowers too. People had never seen such beautiful flowers till date. The fragrance of those flowers was also completely different. The fragrance of flowers used to spread so far that it used to attract people towards itself.

    He thought that the Guru should tell everything. How his flowerbed has become green with their seeds. But he remembered that the Guru had asked him to come only after one year. By selling flowers, he collected so much money that he started living happily. The one who has more money, people are more attracted towards him. He also had a large group of people. Now everyone had started giving him respect. After a few months the flowering season ended and the flowers in Phulwari ran out. Now the time had come to meet his Guru.

    He went back to meet the Guru and wanted to tell everything to the Guru. So the Guru said, I know everything, now you take the seeds back and then plant the seeds when it rains for 3 days. Coming back home, he started waiting for the rain again. As soon as the imagination of many flowers comes in his mind, he becomes happy. Months passed by waiting for the rains. But it was not raining. Then suddenly one day it rained very heavily and it continued for 3 days. This time the soil of his field was washed away. But he worked very hard, cleaned the soil and sowed the seeds. After a few months the seeds sprouted and trees started to form. But this time there were small flowers in them. So he thought maybe this time Guruji has given me fruit trees. But surprisingly, after a few days those trees started growing chilly. Seeing the pepper, no one came, only the parrot came. The gathering of people used to see the flower was also not there. There was no fragrance in the farm that would attract anyone. Slowly the field was filled with chillies, and after a few months the chillies started drying up and falling. As soon as the windy season started, the seeds of chilli started flying and people’s eyes started burning, now people have stopped coming to him any more. Those who used to praise him now started saying what a foolish thing you did this time. If you had planted chillies then why didn’t you sell it when it bore fruit? What answer would he give on this because he himself was upset.

    Then Guruji explained to him, that when someone else took care of you for so many years, someone else took care of you. So now why do you think who will take care of me? Similarly, the seeds you planted were not yours, were they? He had no answer to give.

    Everyone should understand that he lives in a house hired by the Lord. All the things like food, clothes, comforts, God provides us. We get all these things according to our deeds. The more good deeds one has, the more he gets. But we humans are so insidious that we start considering other’s things as our own. We do not even thank God who has given us so much.

  • Want to catch a lie? But how?

    August 11th, 2023

    Till today we have been reading that a person should not keep any deceit inside himself. But a person should not be so straightforward that he allows others to dominate him. At least he should have so much cleverness that he can understand the cleverness of others. Even if you don’t do good to others, at least don’t let bad things happen to you.

    There was a very big businessman in a state. In which countries and regions did his business exist? After a few years, suddenly his business was in danger. The reason for this was his nature. He was a very straightforward man. That’s why everyone used to make a fool of him. His close friends and friends were jealous of him seeing his flourishing business. All together implicated him in the conspiracy. And by giving new business ideas, ruined his business. Earlier he could not understand his friends and family. But now he could clearly understand who is who. He was very sad to see the misdeeds of all of them. He was betrayed by the very people whom he considered his own the most. There was a lot of guilt in his mind. He became very irritable about all these things. There was an atmosphere of quarrel all the time in his house too. Because he had a lot of debt on his head. And he was not in a position to pay. One day he thought about all these things that why not end his life. Thinking of this, he left the house in the dark night. While going on the way, he saw an ashram. Where there was a lot of peace. He made him enter the ashram. So saw a saint sitting surrounded by many people. Everyone is asking him the reason for his own problem. Seeing this, a ray of hope awakened in the man’s heart as well. He asked a man sitting there that this Mahatma is a true man? Then that man told that his charchas are up to the country and abroad. This saint is so knowledgeable that he knows people’s mind without speaking. Even if someone is lying, they catch him. After listening to that man, the merchant got curious that he should also ask him something. That’s why he went and sat at the back of the crowd. People were answering their questions in turn. Finally, when everyone left, it was the merchant’s turn. Then the saint asked the merchant, tell me child, what have you come to ask. The merchant told all the incidents that happened with him to the saint. After listening to the merchant, the saint said, Son, you are very innocent, but a man should not be so innocent that he does not think of his own interest.

    The saint felt pity on the merchant. He said that today I will tell you all the secrets by which you can identify people. And I will also tell you how to spot a lie. But whatever secret I tell you, don’t use it for the evil of others. The saint said to the businessman, if a friend of yours talks too much about trusting you, do not trust him. Because only liars need to be clarified.

    If you know someone who is a complete liar, never believe his words. Because the person who lies to everyone can also lie to you. A person who makes promises on every matter and takes oaths is always a liar. The person who used to behave badly with you and suddenly his behavior changes, then understand that it is a trick. The person who only talks sweetly in front of you and backbites you, then that person is absolutely deceitful. The person who always tries to attract everyone’s attention to himself, keeps on crying about his problems all the time. Gets ready to do anything to make you agree. A liar always thinks of getting himself praised. A liar and a cunning person will try to enter inside your mind and will try to know all your secrets. So that when the time comes, he can take advantage of it.

    The businessman had understood the words of the saint. In the end, he said that happiness and sorrow keep coming in life, they should be faced wisely. God never forgives those who think of ending life by being afraid of small things. We will have to take births to repay the debt of our accumulated karma. That too with more problems. Then why not settle all our accounts in this life itself.
