The māyā of the gods has caused attachment, such that, bullock carts, books, servants and homes are all considered to be of great value. But what will be achieved by possessing them? Only attachment will arise. Therefore, there is no worth in them. Rāj bhayo kahā kāj saryo, Mahārāj bhayo kahā lāj badhāi, Shāh bhayo kahā bāt badi, patsāh bhayo kahā ān firāi; Dev bhayo to kahā bhayo, ahamev badhyo trushnā adhikāi, Brahmamuni satsang vinā sab, aur bhayo to kahā bhayo bhāi?1 Is the proper way of life for a sadhu to live like Bharatji, who gave up the kingdom but became attached to the deer? And for the sake of a seat, bed, disciple, cart and similar insignificant objects do not suffer a big loss by leaving Satsang. There is value only in becoming free of all drawbacks, serving a good Sadhu and learning saintliness. Otherwise what is the point if, for establishing status and pride, one does not get a cart or horse and becomes miserable? Saying this, he said, Motā thāvānu manmā re, dalmā ghano dod; Tevā guna nathi tanmā re, kā kare to kod. Bhunda ghat uthe chhe bhitare re, je na kahevāy bā’r. Eh vātno tāre antare re nathi nar vichār.2 It is like that. Therefore, acquire spiritual knowledge, so that no expectations for anything else remain. Footnotes: 1. 1. What is accomplished even if a kingdom is attained? What is achieved even if one becomes a ruler or an emperor? Does it spread his fame? If one becomes a deity, then still his ego and desires increase. Brahmanand says, “O dear brother, without satsang, everything one attains is worthless.” 2. There is much desire in your mind to become great, But you do not have the necessary virtues, so why entertain such wishes? You have such evil desires in your mind which cannot be revealed to others.
