"The urge to make a name is so great among people, that they are ready to spend everything behind it."
Some have a desire to earn money, some want to get fame, and some have a desire to make disciples. "Someone has a strong desire, the other two are less. In this way it is seen in the world that every person runs day and night to fulfill these desires, works hard.
But what is the result? “As soon as a desire is fulfilled in some degree, that desire increases. When fulfilled in that amount, the same desire increases further. Along with this, some other new desires also arise. Overall result What happens is that the more one's desires are fulfilled, the more those desires increase. And other desires related to them also increase. All desires have never been fulfilled by anyone, and will never be." Because man is not omniscient and omnipotent, he cannot fulfill all his desires. "Even to fulfill some wishes, he has to take the cooperation of many people. Even among the other people (friends, relatives, etc.) he has to take cooperation, some people do not want to fulfill that person's wish." Because they themselves have such desires. They also want happiness. And they think the same way, "Our wishes should be fulfilled, why should we fulfill his wishes? Why should he not fulfill our wishes?" Due to such thoughts, enmity arises among themselves. And because of that hatred, the person pays full attention to fulfill his own desires, does not give any special help in fulfilling the wishes of others. Rather, he opposes in many places. He also destroys the desires and things of another person. He puts many obstacles in his work. With the body and mind, he tries, that my own desires should be fulfilled and not those of others. " There are many people with such evil tendencies in this world, who are always bothering others.
"Now on the other hand the result is that a person spends his whole body and wealth for the fulfillment of his desires." He wants his name, he wants fame. He wants "people to recognize me. From India to America, the world should know that I am something. And everywhere I am photographed, people praise me. Sing my songs. And remember me for a thousand years."
"But all these are just dreams. Such dreams are not fulfilled by anyone." "There have been some great men in the world like Veer Bhagat Singh, Chandra Shekhar Azad, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Maharishi Patanjali, Maharishi Kapil, Maharishi Kanad etc., who laid down their lives to protect the nation's religion. The mind has put money in everything. Only such benevolent great men are remembered by the world."
Rest all the people of the world are self-centred. No one remembers such self-centred people. Everyone is busy in their own selfishness. Why go far, you see in your own home. "Do you remember your grandfather's name? Maybe you remember your grandfather's name. But his grandfather, his grandfather, his grandfather's name, that is, the tenth generation of your grandfather. Do you remember? Don't remember anything. The specific information about the history is not known." You don't even know the tenth generation of your past.
Like today's people want "to know, recognize, and remember me for thousands of years." Wasn't the same desire and effort made by your grandfather's tenth generation, that "all people know me and remember me for a thousand years." Absolutely did it. But what was the result of that? You don't even know your grandfather's tenth generation. Couldn't remember them. They all ended. "What is the position of your grandfather, the same situation will surely be yours in future also."
"You too are putting your body and mind for your fame. After four, five or six generations, no one will even recognize you. No one will remember. Then why are you wasting all your wealth in this work." "It would be better if you emulate those great men like Veer Bhagat Singh, Chandra Shekhar Azad, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Maharishi Patanjali, Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati ji etc. Put your body and mind to protect the country's religion. Then maybe the world Let the people remember you too. Otherwise people will forget you in no time, and the whole game is over."
