Satsang No Ras Chakh - Enjoy The Company Of True Saints |
|
- O creature ! Man ! Enjoy the taste of the association with the wise and their teachings. Enjoy the company of the true saints.
- In the early stage of purification, life becomes bitter and miserable but at the end of our sincere efforts to love God, life becomes as sweet as a naturally ripened mango on the mango tree.
- Do not be too proud of your youth, beauty and other abilities because ultimately this beautiful body of yours will turn to ashes and along with it everything that you have nurtured for its sake will also leave you.
- Elephants, horses, properties and wealth, none of these, including your dear ones and so called friends, will accompany you at the end.
- The pure scriptures, the Upanishads, which are part of the Vedas, assert that we will be free in no time if we keep the company of the truly holy men or women.
- Mirabai says in the name of her beloved husband Giridhari, the Lord of the universe, to keep your mind and heart at the feet of our Lord; surrender your vanity to the Lord.
Commentary:
Unless we surrender our will to the pure will of the Lord or Gitaji, there will be no peace, joy and love that we so egarly desire by our very nature. Mirabai was one of the rare manifestations of the Truth, Love and Joy. May She bless us and give us strength to follow her loving advice to serve the Lord even at the cost of drinking poison, death. The Lord's devotee never perishes.
--Swami Radhanandaji
