The preaching of SadGurudev is so divine that it always leaves a deep impact on the souls rather than just creating a thought in their minds. Presented below is an extract from one His speeches that should be read several times by every disciple.
Comfort can only give worldly pleasures. If you have a good house, you will have an air conditioner, big television and other types of worldly goods. All these may provide comfort, but they can’t bring eternal joy into your life. Can a television give you eternal joy? Can flying in an aircraft give you eternal joy? Eternal joy is something different, it is generated within our body and comforts are generated by surrounding articles. A heater may give you comfort during winters, but can it remove your tensions? If you are in a tension, then this comfort is useless.
We are in India and it is called a great nation. And in this country Akbar was called great, Alexander was called great, rest all kings were called emperors. “Great” word has been used for just two-three people. Great Alexander looted all the small and big nations and took around two thousand elephants loaded with precious jewelry. He took with him at least ten thousand ladies from here to Greece.
It was all because he was a King, he was an attacker, because people over here were unable to face him. He was desirous of victory, he had a devastating nature, and he wanted to be the richest person in this world. However, when his end was near and he realized that he may die soon, he called his general and his doctor and asked the doctor, “How long am I going to live?”
Doctor replied, “My Lord! You are very near to your death. You may die in another three to four hours. Everyone that takes birth must die one day.”
He asked his general, “Bring here what all I have collected throughout my life.” On one side, piles of diamond were created, to other side piles of jewelry were made at some distance there were piles of pearls and all the precious stones he had collected and near him were standing twelve thirteen thousand queens. Alexander lay there counting his last moments. He had to bend his neck completely to look at the pile of the diamonds….such huge collection….every single one priced over two to three lakhs…..you can imagine how much wealth he had !
He asked his General, “All of them are mine?” The General replied, “Yes, my Lord! It’s all yours. You have brought all this from various countries. You have looted them all”. “And what about these queens”? “They also belong to you my Lord”. He asked, “What will happen to me after I die”?
The General replied, “Nothing happens after the death my Lord. You will be tied to two bamboo shafts and will be covered by a shroud. Then you will be carried on four shoulders and finally you will be burnt in the mortuary”. “Then what about all these?”, asked Alexander.
“These things never went with anyone, my Lord”, replied the General. “Then please listen to my last will, you have to do what I am telling you now.”, said Alexander. “Order me my Lord! I will fulfill your last wish. You are great, only you are the person who has been associated with the word “great” in this world.” replied the general. “How is a man tied on to a bier”? asked Alexander.
The general replied, “There is no big deal in it. The dead person is put on the bier and his hands and feet are kept straight. He is completely covered with a white cloth and then he is taken to the graveyard and is burnt.”
Alexander replied, “When you tie me on the bier, let my hands remain out of the shroud. Cover all my body with the shroud but don’t cover my hands”.
General replied, “My Lord! This has never happened before, hands are tied close to the body only and are covered within the shroud. You are asking me to do a new thing, how will it be executed?”
Alexander replied, “Execute my orders! This is my last wish that my hands should be set free and let them hang from the bier”.
General asked out of curiosity, “My Lord! There must be some reason as to why you want your hands to hang out of the bier”? Alexander replied, “So that everyone and the coming generations should know that even the Great Alexander went empty handed. That’s the reason why I want my hands to hang out of my bier”.
If Alexander the Great went empty handed, it is guaranteed that you all will also go empty handed only. He was unable to take anything with himself, so even we can’t take anything with us……when we can’t take anything with ourselves, then all these things are useless.
This money is useless then what should we take away with us….what should we take….and how to take that….neither we can take our wife nor sons….if no one can go with us, then who will go with us? When we have to travel alone, then why all this stuff? Then why all these deceptive means? Why are we so inclined to grow our four lakhs into five lakhs?
If your son is good, he will earn a better living for himself, if not he will waste all that you will give him. If your son is good, he will not need your money and will earn five lakhs himself else will waste your money in just a week.
Alexander the Great said one thing (you may read it in the history of Greece) – I obtained everything in my life, but eternal joy. Instead of this, if I would have devoted my time to attain eternal joy, if I would have meditated and attained the divinity, which a common man can’t, then I would have lived my last moments in great satisfaction. There would have been a smile on my face, on my lips but instead there are tears in my eyes. My heart is full of repentance that I have just collected stones in my life, instead of collecting what really matters in life.
Alexander the Great left this world but he set an example that you can’t get eternal joy by singing hymns, going to temple, joining your hands and sitting with your eyes closed. These are ways to fool ourselves. Suppose you are going to collect the loan amount of four thousand rupees from a person, and you see a temple on the way. Now before the idol in the temple you will pray, “O Lord! This person has taken four thousand rupees from me and is not returning it now. Please favor me and grant him the wisdom to return my money today. I will offer a sacrament of five rupees to you”.
Now to get back four thousand rupees, you have offered five rupees to the Lord….thinking there is no loss in this deal….this money is already stuck and if by just giving five rupees your goal is accomplished, then what is the trouble in this. Now you can yourself understand the motive behind going to the temple. I am talking about the intentions of majority of people sitting here.
This is not a way of attaining peace in life, however everyone talks about it. How can we forget about ourselves and attain eternal joy? What is that path on which we can attain eternal joy and no one has told us? Everyone has told you about attaining eternal joy, even I am telling you that you have to attain eternal joy.
After one hour is completed, I will also go away. Then you will think that Guru Ji has spoken such words of wisdom and even I will think that I have told them about achieving eternal joy. However, no one has guided you on the path which can help you attain eternal joy in your life. You are left with no option but to search in the darkness. I am also giving you darkness, what all these saints have given you – go to temple and see the idol of Lord Ram and then demolish a mosque and construct a temple over that and after doing this Lord Ram will appear before you.
Lord Ram will not appear before you like this, no other God will appear before you like this and neither you will be able to reach near them. The reason is there is a gap in between you and the Gods. There is a link between you and me. If I remove this link, then I can’t reach to you and till the time the Guru doesn’t show you the path, you won’t be able to reach near to the Lord and if you can’t get near to the Lord, you will never achieve eternal joy in your life.
I wish you that may you find a true Guru in your life who can let you know the path of divinity and eternal joy. I bless you all so that all of you may become complete, away from all the deceits and divine in life. I bless you all once again from the depth of my heart.
