The Illusion Of Attachment

Aum Sairam

When we ask for things from God we never give a thought to see our
qualifications to receive what we desire or ask for. Just as any
employment is based on qualifications either practical or educational
so also a sadhak has to be qualified to receive what he desires for.
In most of the cases we ask for things which would bring us into harm
and keep us away from our Guru, never we think that we should ask God
to shower His grace upon us and do what is needed for us as He knows
our past present and future and also knows our capability and capacity
to recieve things. Let us leave our short comings and desires at His
feet and accept either disappointment or fulfillment as His divine
blessings. For He knows what is best for us.

The illusion of attachment or the love for money is a deep whirlpool of
pain full of crocodiles in the form of conceit and jealousy. He, who is
desireless, can alone cross this whirlpool. Greed and Brahma are as
poles, they are eternally opposed to each other. Where there is greed,
there is no room for thought or meditation. Then how can a greedy man
get dispassion and salvation? For a greedy man there is no peace,
neither contentment, nor steadiness. If there be even a little trace of
greed in mind, all the spiritual endeavors are of no avail. Even the
knowledge of a well-read man, who is not free from the desire of the
fruit or reward of his actions, and who has got no disgust for the
same, is useless and can't help him in getting self-realization. The
teachings of a Guru are of no use to a man, who is full of egoism, and
who always thinks about the sense-objects. Purification of mind is
absolutely necessary; without it, all our spiritual endeavors are
nothing, but useless show and pomp. It is, therefore, better for one to
take only what he can digest and assimilate. My treasury is full, and I
can give anyone, what he wants, but I have to see whether he is
qualified to receive what I give. If you listen to Me carefully, you
will be certainly benefited.
