||ShriHari||
Nature has two basic elements. Objects and Actions (Padaarth aur Kriya). The objects seem to exist and seem prominent, but in fact all objects are merely a collection of actions. Objects are self destructive. They are getting destroyed every second. You should not give much importance to objects and actions.
The world has manifested from God, but it is not a part of Him. Every human being has tied a knot – the knot is the desire to attain worldly goods and the want to know God. This knot has been created by us, and can be opened only by ourselves with the Grace of God. This knot actually does not exist, it is a make belief knot that we have tied.
Because of the importance that we have given to worldly objects, we continuously want more and more and when we are not able to utilize, we start hoarding. People generally are always wanting to increase their wealth and purchase things (objects). They usually do not want any spiritual progress. In today’s world Satsang, naam jap, bhajan, dhyan, yoga, etc are increasing many fold, but the importance is of money and not of the spiritual practice. Spiritual practice should never be a means to earn more money, instead money should be used as a medium to spread God’s word. The money should be used/utilized for Satsang, naam jap, bhajan, dhyan, yoga, etc. It is a fact that if you want only spiritual growth, worldly goods shall automatically come after you.
The importance and attraction that we have to worldly goods, does not go away fast. It stays with us for a long time. It is mainly by doing Satsang, naam jap, bhajan, dhyan, yoga, etc that one can be rid of attraction. Predominantly is is Satsang and Naam jap. By reading good books over and over again, you gain new insight to the books and go deeper and deeper in the meaning of the books. The attraction that you have for material things, shall go away automatically when you start enjoying Satsang, etc.
Pray to God – O Lord! Let me NEVER forget you.
Keep saying this whenever you get the time. He is too kind. He will forgive all your sins of all your past lives, the moment you truly give your Self to Him.
BE HAPPY. BE GLAD, BE FREE OF WORRIES.
