‘How can everybody be like this?’

Everybody can be like this, because every human being is entitled to attain God. Whatever caste he belongs to, whatever hermitage, whatever sect, whatever country, whatever state he belongs to, he is still entitled for attaining God. Whereas one does not fully own this world, neither one fully owns the money, nor reputation and respect. Yes, you can get a little portion of it, but you cannot get the entire thing whereas all can attain that ‘tattva’ (Divinity, God) entirely, it cannot be fragmented. No other life form has this capability. Only in human beings, God has given this capability that everyone can attain Him. Worldly position, power etc. is not given equally to even two; but earlier saints like Sukhdevji, Sankadi, Lord Brahma, Lord Shiva, liberated souls, many great wise men have attained That, and That element can now be attained by every man, all humans can achieve it. The only condition is one has to dislike worldly pleasures and accumulation, one has to believe that worldly pleasures and accumulation is not needed. What if we come across worldly pleasures and hoard things? Like what you do if accidentally your feet gets stuck in the dirt, and becomes covered with dirt ? You take a bath to clean it. Likewise if one accidentally gets worldly pleasures, gets money, wealth, diamonds, precious stones etc., then think that your feet are stuck in the dirt. We don’t want it. We only want God. Except God we don’t want to take anything – this is exclusive and ultimate devotion.

After acquiring human birth, if one earns money, gets all the enjoyments, gets respect and admiration, then this human birth has been wasted away. If one gets stuck in money, or stuck in worldly things then he is not truly a human. Why so? Getting a human birth is very rare indeed – “durlabh manusho deho”. In our religious texts it is mentioned that, getting a human birth is very difficult even for demi-gods –

“Bade Bhag Maanush Tan Pava,

Sur Durlabh Sadagranthani Gava”.

After acquiring such a human birth if one only thinks of attaining enjoyment, wealth. If one is only thinking of how much to hoard ? then in the end, all the efforts will go wasted, nothing will be of any use. But men are remaining pleased thinking we will acquire this and that. What will you get, are these things worth acquiring ? The things which will not stay with you forever and neither can you stay with them, what purpose will it serve to acquire them? You have been cheated. You have been betrayed and nothing more ! And further more, you have done this purposely. You have drawn the axe on your own feet. Hence, ‘Sarem tato grahampasya phalgu’ abandon all and strive for that true element only, after which you will never strive for anything else. After acquiring That (Divinity), one is not born during the great creation (Mahasarg) and neither gets distressed during great dissolution (maha pralaye) – Always happy, always in bliss –

‘sarge’pi nopajayante pralaye na vyathanti ca’

(Gita 14/2).
