Prithi Mal - Sehgal - Rama Didi
Prithi Mal, Sehgal and Rama Didi came to the Guru in quest of spiritual
knowledge. When they had a glimpse of the Guru, then they prayed to
him: We have heard that by meditation one can meet the Lord. You please
tell us how to do meditation, so that we can meet the Lord?
The Guru smiled, then looked towards them with benevolence and said:
Yes, you do meditation. They said: We are family men and businessmen. Itis
the recluses who can do meditation. You please tell us some easy way.
The Guru said: There are three characteristics in Hindu philosophy. Have
you heard them?
Prithi Mal respectfully said: Yes, we have heard.
Guru: Have you studied them and learnt the good and bad points in
them or you have just heard about them?
Rama (in innocence) said: We have not studied them. We remain busy in
work. Sometimes, we are afraid of death. It has to come. One has to die one
day and we are working like machines only. It is the same vocation, the
passions, the sentiments, the friendships, the enmities and the entanglements
everyday. In childhood one is dependant, suffering the anger and scolding of
the parents. In young age the passions are enticing. In old age one is crying
for the strenhTth gone or one is crying for the un-accomplished merriments.
When these thoughts came to our mind, then we talked to many people.
We were told that the Lord is all happiness. He is the creator ofthe universe.
One can get true happiness by reaching the Lord.
Then we heard your praise that you are the image ofthe Lord in this Unenlightened
era (Kalyug). So, you put us on the right spiritual path.
The Guru said: You study the three characteristics of Hindu philosophy
and practise the best. Then you will be happy.
