As long as you are alive, your relatives, friends, and wife and children, enquire you about your state, they show a lot of interest in you, but the moment you are dead, they weep once or a few days and then forget about you. Nobody even remember you latter. When your dead body is lying on floor, nobody wants to touch it, even your wife gets worried to approach the dead body, because of fear. The body is made of the five elements, earth, sky, water, fire and air. When dead it becomes so much decade that it starts smelling, so everybody wants to get rid of it as soon as possible, lest they should get any decease. So the body has to get mixed again with those five elements. So the physical body is useless and perishable, the only thing that is eternal is sole, so make your sole purified and try to achieve the lotus feet of GOD where there is perfect tranquility and eternity.<br><br> <! --- Poetry, centering table ---> <center><table><tr><td> <B><font color="blue"> 7.arthamanarthaM bhaavaya nityaM<br> naastitataH sukhaleshaH satyam.<br> putraadapi dhana bhaajaaM bhiitiH<br> sarvatraishhaa vihiaa riitiH <br><br>  0 M ' .

By legal or illegal means you earned lots of money, now the problem is protecting it, you have fear of thieves, rulers.. They may even kill you to steal the money. Bear in mind always that wealth could mean disaster. Why only dacoits, think of your own children, friends and relatives, there is even danger from them also.. As long as they have money interest with you, or as long as they believe that you are useful to them monetarily they respect you, once they feel you are useless to them they ditch you. So Wealth is no good, there is happiness even after acquiring wealth, this is the truth. Wealth is not welfare, truly there is no joy in it. GOD, he is with you all the time, whether you are poor or rich, you get the acme of peace in his service, so pray GOD and achieve happiness, which the material comforts and people cannot give you. Sri Sankara here gives a sound advice good for householders and other sadhakas. Know that money will mean more misery than pleasure. The truth is, money cannot buy happiness; In money matters, man doesn t trust even his offspring s. Strange it may seem, but this is the way of the world. <br><br> The Acharya, though not a man of the world, nevertheless understood its ways precisely. This is for the benefit of the disciples and devotees. Money often makes a man arrogant. There is no end to the greed for wealth. The man who gets a thousand will hope for ten thousand. The one who gets ten thousand will hope for a millions& No end to desire, no end to greed. Will more money ensure more pleasure and peace of mind? Chances are little. The more a man gets, the greedier he becomes; No one is satisfied with what he gets. He is jealous of those who have more; Dissatisfied mind is the breeding ground of crimes: at home, in society also. The rich man sometimes doesn t trust even his children on monetary matters. He is doubtful on others and their intentions. Sleep is lost; Rivalries start; Quarrels ensue; Even murders result. All for money. Can a sadhaka live with this situation? <br><br> No amount of money will satisfy us. We have to satisfy ourselves by what we legitimately earn by hard work. We should impress ourselves that it is a misconception that money brings happiness. There is nothing wrong if we work hard and earn money; we may use it for good purposes. But we shouldn t become a slave of money. The earlier we understand the truth about the world and its ways, the better it is for us: To help say farewell to ignorant ways.<br><br> <! --- Poetry, centering table ---> <center><table><tr><td> <B><font color="blue"> 8. baalastaavatkriiDaasaktaH<br> taruNastaavattaruNiisaktaH .<br> vRiddhastaavachchintaasaktaH<br> pare brahmaNi ko.api na saktaH <br><br> , > 2 8 M $ > 5 $ M 0 M  @ ! > 8  M $  , $ 0 A # 8 M $ > 5 $ M $ 0 A # @ 8  M $  <br> 5 C & M ' 8 M $ > 5  M  ?

See the pity, how you are wasting your time, in all the four stages of your life cycle! When you are a child because of ignorance you were more attracted with play and pass time, so as a boy, you are attached to sport When young you are after woman, then after marriage you are after money and family matters, so as a youth, you are attached to young woman. Finally when you get old, your mind is preoccupied with the matters like, how to protect your money, your children s feature etc. So when you are old, you are attached to anxiety; Also at that time your age and weakness, decease brings you more head aches. To the Supreme Brahman, no one, alas, is attached! Then also you do not think of GOD, finally when death invades you, in that last moment you may be in a position of thinking of GOD or not, even if you think of HIM, there is no use, better start praying GOD right now, irrespective of age, what ever is your profession, caste, creed or community, what ever you are engaged in, always in your mind think of GOD and pray him, that is the only one that can save you.<br><br> <! --- Poetry, centering table ---> <center><table><tr><td> <B><font color="blue"> 9. kaate kaantaa kaste putraH<br> saMsaaro.ayamatiiva vichitraH .<br> kasya tvaM kaH kuta aayaataH<br> tattvaM chintaya tadiha bhraataH<br><br>  > $ G  > ( M $ >  8 M $ G * A $ M $ M 0  , 8  8 > 0 K / . $ @ 5 5 ?  ? $ M 0  <br>  8 M / $ M 5  5 >  A $  / > $  , $ $ M $ M 5   ?

A .<br><br> Dear friend! Think for a moment, who are you? Who is your wife? Who is your son? what are these relations, what is the relation between your wife and you before marriage, what relation you have with your children before birth, same logic applies to your parents, and others, it means these relations are temporary in the dimension of time, they hold good for some time, and cease to exist after a period. you? Whence have you come? Oh brother, think of that truth here. The Samsara (Universe ) is very Strange. Exceedingly wonderful, indeed, is this empirical process! Of whom are you? Who are. The whole world is a stage, we are actors, playing different roles, involved deeply in our action. Come out of this plane of MAYA ( Cloud of ignorance) and think, you will find that what ever role you are playing is false and untrue. So get rid of your mind with the cloud of MAYA ( the attracting power), then you are clear of facts and truth, that is the first step in acquiring divine Knowledge (GNANA) and one step toward the ALL MIGHTY!<br><br> Your vision makes you call a man  father , your daughter as  daughter. You give name to various relationships since the bodies are different. Actually, who is father, who is daughter?<br><br> Maata Naasthi, Pita Naasthi<br> Naasthi Bandhu, Naasthi Sahodara<br> Artham Naasthi, Gruham Naasthi.<br> Tasmat Jagratha, Jagratha, Jagratha.<br><br> There is no mother, no father,<br> Neither siblings nor relations,<br> There is no wealth or dwelling,<br> O! Be careful, be careful, be careful.<br><br> In essence, all are one and are the embodiments of God. In order to journey to this unity, the diversity should be renounced. The principle at the spirit (atma) is to visualize and experience the unity in diversity. The Atma is the regulator of unity amidst multiplicity.<br><br> Though the bulbs are different, in size and luminosity, they glow by the same electricity that runs through them. So too visualization of the self is the understanding of the singularity in the plural world.<br> <! --- Poetry, centering table ---> <center><table><tr><td> <B><font color="blue"> 10. satsaNgatve nissN^gatvaM<br> nissaNgatve nirmohatvam.h .<br> nirmohatve nishchalatattvaM<br> nishcalatattve jiivanmuktiH<br><br> 8 $ M 8  M  $ M 5 G ( ? 8 M 8  M  $ M 5  , ( ? 8 M 8  M  $ M 5 G ( ? 0 M .

A .<br><br> Dear friend! From Satsangh (the company of the good) comes non-attachment, from non-attachment comes freedom from delusion, which leads to self-settledness. From self-settledness (delusionlesness) comes Jeevan Mukti (liberation in life). Company plays a major role and it influences your mind and sole. If you are in bad company you acquire bad habits, if you are in good company good habits, you have to better choose good company for your own good. If you are in the company of HARI DASA s (Servants of GOD), saints and good teachers (Guru s), you can learn things very easily, you don t have to re-invent the wheel, what ever they learnt, they will pass on this knowledge to you and you can easily acquire that. Especially the need of a good teacher is very important for spiritual matters. Dear friend acquire the friendship and company of devotional people and acquire spiritual knowledge, peace, good habits. If you are in a good company, the first benefit you get is, you get detached with the worldly matters, and you get attached to divine things, if you reach that stage then you are very close to GOD. </td></tr></table> <center><form name="fback" method="post" action="http://www.tlca.com/cgi-bin/comments/comments.pl"> <input type="hidden" name="artid" value="0907-6"> <input type="hidden" name="artname" value="Bhajagovindam Part 3"> <input type="hidden" name="arturl" value="http://www.tlca.com/adults/bhajagovindam-3.html"> <input type="submit" value="Post your comments on this article"> </form></center> </body></html>
