Guest guest Posted August 8, 2001 Report Share Posted August 8, 2001 Verse 2 Kalatram Djanam putrapoutradi sarvam Griham Baandhavaassarva metaddhi jaatam / Guroranghripadme Manashchenna lagnam Tatah kim? Tatah kim? Tatah kim? Tatah kim? // With wife, wealth, children and grandchildren, Oh! The whole house is like Nanda Gokulam, full of humdrum. What a joy in the call, grandfather! Wife doesn’t take food till he returns home and what a delight in it! Why all these people love you so much? The truth is that they love your money, Dhanam Meru Tulyam is the real thing. One man has a big chain of precious stones. His inheritors will be only waiting for his death. Now to relations. Don’t the flies gather around jaggery? Wealth, mansions, education, strength, influence—all these are there, and so they have approached you. Will anybody look at you without those possessions? If you advertise that you have become a pauper one day, the next day even your wife doesn’t treat you well. There is no selfless love at all in the families. They are entwined with each other in selfishness and desire. God has made it so just like one sugarcane yielding sweetness to the other. So it is of no use to you with all of them, because your mind is not set on Guru. So, first, you concentrate your mind on Guru. Then all these things will look beautiful and delightful all the more. Not only that. Even detachment becomes easier. When the need arises, you can leave them in a trice and go away at once and can withstand any amount of trouble without being sorrowful. ..
