Know Thyself
Sant Palatoo Sahab ha said,
“Maayaa thaganee badee thagee yah jaat hai,
Bache na yaa se kou, lagee din raat hai.
Kaudi naahi sang, karorin jodi ke,
Are haan re ‘Palatoo’, gaye hain raajaa rank langoti chhodi ke.”
[Maya is a big thug (con). It spares none. It is after all of us, day and night. We do so much to earn millions, but are not able to take even a penny along. Palatoo says, be it a king or a beggar, everyone had to go empty-handed from here, even leaving their inner wear here only.]
Swami Santsevi Ji Maharaj: “So, let us earn and collect that wealth which will accompany us even after we leave this world. Which wealth is that? That is the wealth of devotion, of meditation. Our Gurudev has been so kind and compassionate to teach us the art of or way to that end which can be practiced by monks (sanyasins) and householders alike; there is no discrimination of any kind here. So, live in mutual harmony and practice meditation. I thank you all very much!” (excerpted from, Know Thyself, All India Convention of Santmat Satsang held in Rishikesh, translated by Pravesh K. Singh)
