Satsang

In rural areas, a millstone is used for grinding grain, while large mills produce varieties of flour to cope with the demands of the cities. A poor man eats simple food and excretes. A rich man eats sumptuous meals and excretes. So regard the poor man as a millstone and a wealthy man as a flour mill!


A large silkworm produces more silk than a small silkworm. So we can call the poor man a small excreta-worm and the rich man a large excreta-worm! “Life is decreasing with every second. It does not increase by even a single second. It comes to an end in no time.”


We celebrate birthdays. People think that they are growing in years whereas actually their lives are getting shorter! Childhood is followed by youth, which is passed in merry-making. But youth soon fades into old age.
