King Ashoka, who wanted only to kill others, was transformed by a Buddhist monk. Lord Buddha, whose name was Siddhartha, was the son of a king. He also could not find satisfaction in royal luxury. He saw the grief behind the riches, so abandoned his kingdom and got Spiritual Knowledge. You also are human, so do not lose your Self in this world. Everything is within you, but you have to know it. Nanakdev Ji says-“Jago re jin jagana, ab jagan di bar. Phir kya jage Nanaka, jab sowe panw pasar .” How will you know after you die? Everyone has to go one day but this net of attachment is such that a man is not able to extricate himself from it. Our condition is like the spider who weaves her web and ends her life in it. Due to attachment to worldly objects we have strayed far from God. He is near, but we wander here and there due to ignorance.
