He who does good to others according to his power, God does good to him according to His power.


   He who does good to others according to his power, God does good to him according to His power.  If he applies all his power to do good to others, then God also applies all His power to do good to him.  When God applies His powers, then how can he remain unhappy?   No one can ever make him unhappy;  and such a person attains God.  The desire for pleasures and prosperity is the main obstacle to God Realization.  Sense pleasures and hoarding, will not permit man to realize God.  The reason is that when he hoards, he does this with his body, and when he enjoys pleasures, he does so with his body.  So if a man is attached to the body, an effigy of bone and flesh, if he is a slave to these, how can he attain spiritual enlightenment?  But he, who is happy in the happiness of others, ceases to have the desire for happiness or pleasure, while he who is moved and distressed in the sadness of others ceases to have the desire for hoarding. 
On being moved with the sufferings of others, man thinks of relieving the sufferers of their sufferings.  Just as we spend money to relieve ourselves of our pain, similarly, we will be willing to spend money to relieve others off their sufferings.    We will not be able to hoard too much money!  Even if it is accumulated, we shall not remain attached to it, by thinking that it belongs to others.

Moko kaha dundho re bande, Me to tere pas me;
Na tirath me na murth me, na ekant nivas me;
Na mandir me na masjid me, na khasi khailash me ;
Na me jap me na me tap ne, na me barat upvas me;
Na me kriya karam me rehta, na hi yog sanyas me;
Na hi paran na hi pind me, an bharmand akash me;
Na me bharkuti bhavar guffa me, na hi tam an hi Prakash me;
Khoji hoi turant mil jau, ek pal ki hi talash me;
Kahei kabir suno bhai suno bhai sadho, sab sasso ki sas me;
