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;
