Who is Ours?
Think about this question – Who is ours? You will get the answer that except God there is no one else who is ours. The soul is a particle of the Divinity, immortal, conscious, untainted and blissful by nature. God is our very own. Only God is. Nothing whatsoever will stay with us – body, family, society, wealth, etc. Nothing is ours. What is ours will always stay with us. God never leaves us, can never leave us. In spite of being omnipotent He has no power to leave us. Think over it – Who is ours? Even our body will not stay with us. God is never away from you. Only He is always with you. Only He is ours. Nobody else – nothing else.
He is with us in hell, in heaven, in favourable circumstances, in unfavourable circumstances, in all situations. You cannot ever get such a companion. No matter whatever you are doing God is with you. When you sleep, when you wake up, when you talk, when you keep quiet, when you eat, when you are hungry, when you are living, when you die, the list can go on and on. Accept this fact and everything will be set right. Everything except God will desert you at some time or the other.
Sada Diwali sant ke aatho pahar aanand – It is always the festival of lights for a saint. He is in happiness and in bliss all 24 hours. When you have God for your companion how can you be sad, how can you worry. There is no question of any sorrow. Like Mirabai said that only Girdhar Gopal is mine, no other. There is no other companion who is or can be as faithful as God. God loves everyone like a mother loves her child. Only God and His devotees are our well wishers without wanting anything in return.
