JAMMU: In his spiritual discourses at Ranjri on Poornima, Madhu Param Hans ji Maharaj, the head of Sahib Bandgi Panth, said that man makes plans for the future but he doesn’t know what is going to happen in the very next moment.
“The bodily machinery can stop functioning at anytime. The body can perish due to severe diseases like heart attack, nervous breakdown etc. Sometimes, small ailments also prove fatal. Still we remain absorbed in attaining the short lived pleasures,” he said.
Four kinds of people live in the world. The nature and thinking of all is different, he said. Firstly, there are those who don’t believe in soul and God. Their sole aim of life is to eat, drink and enjoy. In the worldly language, such people have been called as Pamar.
Secondly, there are those who are God fearing and neither tease anyone nor commit any sin but still they remain engrossed in the world. Whenever they get some chance, they attend satsangs and perform noble tasks as well. Such people are called as the worldly Jivas. Anyhow, they are good for the society.
Thirdly, there are those who want salvation. They think that the human body is meant for seeking salvation. They do every work with prudence. Then there are great persons who are, indeed, uncommon. But the fact is that the merits of births together remain with them. Very small number of people have knowledge of the soul. Right from the birth, the parents start teaching the child about worldly matters. This is because they themselves are engrossed in the world. That is why man keeps engrossed in the worldly net.
