Satsang

"ghoom gham men din gaya,
sochat ho gayi sham.
Ek ghari prabhu na bhaja,
jan janani bhayi banjh."
"A man who does not remember God has in fact wasted the youth of his mother. It would be better for a woman to remain childless than to give birth to a son who has no devotion." What do you gain from believing false things or accumulating more and more wealth through deceitful or unfair means, or from constructing big buildings or from earning respect and holding high rank? What is the benefit in wasting a human birth for such false worldly things? What is the benefit in keeping a cow who will never in her life give milk?
