will he get salvation from this suffering?
Guru: 0 pious Bhagats, when one sees wealth, riches, women, beauty of
a woman and the youthfulness of a man, then ego and desires come. Ego and
desires have two facets.
1. Ego of what one has.
2. The desire that they should remain.
Those who do not have, they are in despair and they desire to have. This
is the opposite side of ego and desires. This desire comes to the mind inthe
body. The prime thing in the mirtd is ego. The mind sees and desires. Then
the mind is enticed by the desire. It wants to acquire. That is in two ways.
One is the pious way and one is the sinful way. 'Somehow, 1 should
acquire' this is the desire, whether the pious way or the sinful way, that the
mind hTUides. Some minds suggestthe sinful way, loot, grab, deceive and some
minds suggest the pious way, earn honestly and give charity, do goodness so
that one gets the fruit of goodness.
So, the motivator ofsinful and pious deeds is the desire and the motivator
of desire is ego. According to this 'ego and desires' to acquire wealth, women
and fame, the mind is enticed and gets into sinful or pious deeds.
When, by sinful or pious deeds one acquires something, then one becomes
proud and wishes to acquire more. Otte is never satiated. When, one is not
able to acquire, then the desire to acquire increases. In that case also one is
never satiated. In this way, the mind remains in the fulfilled or unfulfilled
desires. So, the ego and desires keep the mind in the wheel of deeds. Then
the comforts and sufferinbfS come accordingto the deeds done and one remains
in the cycle of births and deaths. There is no salvation from this cycle. Man
remains in suffering in the wheel of deeds and the cycle of births and deaths.
There is only one way to get out of the wheel of deeds and the cycle of
births and deaths. That is the Lord's Name. By remembering the Lord and
reciting His name with love the Name permeates in the body. The Lord is
omnipresent and always living. So, he is always with us. The fruit of reciting
His name is that the mind gets into the love of the always-living Lord and
remains in the incessant love of the Lord.
The material gains that entice the mind do not go with us. When the body
does not go with us, then how will the material gains go? The material gains
that we acquire as also indulge in passions, we think that these are giving
pleasure. Those pleasures as .also the body remains here. When a person
dies, others acquire his wealth and the body thatwe think is our own becomes
ash. So to say, the entire existence goes to the earth. The friends, family,
wealth and passions all go to the earth. But the dirt that has accumulated on
