Today is the last day of the year.
00:10.3
00:16.9
Tomorrow the entire world will celebrate with joy.
00:26.5
00:31.5
But, this is wrong.
00:31.6
00:46.9
Because this is not the matter of celebration, New year is not matter of celebration, it is the matter of sorrow.
00:47.0
01:05.8
For example, suppose you have 1 lakh rupees. Lets say you spent Fifty thousand out of it, then you will not celebrate.
01:05.9
01:18.9
You will think that now I only have Fifty thousand rupees. Then only 2000 rupees, then only one thousand ruppees and so on.
01:20.0
01:42.6
Same way, for this human body given by God to attain our goal
01:42.7
02:01.2
we should think, how much progress we have made,how close we are reaching towards God, how much devition we did.
02:01.3
02:13.1
Devotion meaning going closer to God. Going closer to God is what Devotion means.

02:29.7
Maharajji explaining the word Upasana in Sanskrit
02:34.7
02:46.8
If someone is feeling cold and there is a fire in front of that person
02:46.9
02:51.7
the closer the person gets to fire,warmer he feels
02:51.8
03:00.8
(Maharajji quoting a sanskrit verse)
03:06.2
03:16.9
How much we have gone towards God, How much percentage is remaining
03:17.0
03:20.3
How far we are from worldly things etc.
03:20.4
03:27.4
we should think about these things. But we do not.
03:27.5
03:31.0
Instead we celeberate.
03:31.1
03:44.9
Good that 20 years have passed. Now 50 years have passed. Now 80 years have passed
03:45.0
03:49.4
We tell our children and grand children with great pride that
03:49.5
03:57.3
"Son,What is there for us now, our time has passed You think about yourself now."
03:57.4
04:13.6
Is the human form burden? You are telling it has passed.
04:13.7
04:28.0
If someone is put in jail for ten years and if he thinks that 9 years has passed and then nine and half year has passed and then he is getting released in a day. If that person celebarates, then it may make sense.
04:28.1
04:37.3
Why are you celeberating? Are you going to get liberated after death?
04:37.4
04:44.9
Will you be released from 8.4 million type of bodies?
04:45.0
04:47.8
You have not done anything like that.
04:47.9
04:52.7
You have not even though about it.
04:52.8
05:00.3
If you feel about it even a second before death. Only if you feel
05:00.4
05:15.5
Only if you feel right about it, you will attach your mind to God and the work will be done.
05:15.6
05:25.9
Maharajji quoting a shlok
05:26.0
05:37.4
Whatever you think about in your las moment you will attain the things accordingly
05:41.3
05:47.9
We should not celeberate with joy instead we should reflect.
05:48.0
05:57.4
We should analyze ourselves. Self analysis
05:57.5
06:06.8
See in polictics, every party analyses after election is over
06:06.9
06:16.1
why did we loose? What mistakes did we do? what were the drawbacks? How can we correct them etc
06:16.2
06:26.7
In the same way, we should analyse ourselves once every year
06:26.8
06:31.6
We should also analyze once a month.
06:31.7
06:35.5
If possible, do it every day.
06:35.6
06:44.6
Before you sleep, think for about 2 to 3 minutes about "what did I do today?"
06:44.7
06:56.8
"What are the good things and bad things? How much time did I spend towards God and how much did I spend for worldly things"
06:56.9
07:05.1
If we think of this everyday, we will commit less mistakes next day
07:05.2
07:14.8
Then if we think of this every month, we will commit less mistakes in coming month.
07:14.9
07:22.7
But we do not think about this even while we die.
07:22.8
07:25.0
Fearless!!!
07:25.1
07:35.1
We think we are not going to die."We are just 90 years old now"
07:35.2
07:40.0
What do you think? 100 years?
07:40.1
07:47.0
Lets say 100 years? Ok 200 years? what will happen after that?
07:54.7
08:05.2
So,through this self analysis, you will understand that you have been careless
08:08.3
08:12.3
But you still have time.
08:14.4
08:17.9
There was a DM(District Manager).
08:18.0
08:32.2
He was telling his condition. He took part in a competition for writing.
08:32.3
08:37.1
He fell asleep while writing.
08:37.2
08:42.0
He kept sleeping for an hour.
08:42.1
08:50.5
When he woke up after an hour of sleep, he found out that he only had half an hour remaining.
08:50.6
08:54.2
He started writing fast but failed.
08:57.7
09:02.5
Atleast he got half an hour to write.
09:02.6
09:07.4
We do not even think till we die
09:07.5
09:12.3
when will we make it?
09:12.4
09:17.2
We think a lot about making it here( referring to this world)
09:18.0
09:23.1
"Lets make it for our son. Lets make it for our daughter. Lets make it for our grand child."
09:23.2
09:27.3
"Lets make it for him, her. Let us all become millionaires etc.."
09:27.4
09:32.2
This we think all the time.
09:38.2
09:43.0
Think about making for your soul.
09:43.1
09:47.0
You are soul. You are not body.
09:47.1
09:54.1
You have to leave the body. Body will be taken away forcefully.
09:58.1
10:01.9
Therefore, every year
10:02.0
10:06.8
self analyze and feel.
10:06.9
10:11.7
And prepare for next year.
10:11.8
10:16.6
Think that coming year I have to finish my goal
10:16.7
10:18.0
Who knows you may not even get full year.
10:18.1
10:22.9
You may get only 6 months. You may get only 1 month.
10:26.4
10:39.2
Maharajji quoting sanskrit shlok
10:39.3
10:43.1
You may or may not get to see next morning.
10:43.2
10:47.1
There was an engineer from Agra
10:47.2
10:52.0
who has helped in the construction of Mangadh satsang bhavan.
10:52.1
10:55.1
He slept at night.
10:57.0
11:01.8
He did not wake up in the morning.
11:01.9
11:06.7
Nobody came to know what happened in the house.
11:10.9
11:13.7
He had heart failure while he was in his sleep.
11:17.9
11:20.2
That is death.
11:20.3
11:25.8
When its a time for death, death will not give you even an extra second.
11:25.9
11:28.0
You have to go.
11:28.1
11:30.8
Whoever it may be.
11:38.1
11:42.9
It could be a king,poor,ascetic, whoever.
11:43.0
11:46.6
He has to go. Everyone has to go.
11:46.7
11:53.1
Even the god realized saint has to go. What to speak of worldly people.
11:58.1
12:02.9
Some may go happily and some may go crying.
12:03.0
12:07.8
Even God come and go.
12:07.9
12:14.2
When 11000 years passed for God Ram, Yamraj went to Ram and asked
12:14.3
12:24.7
"Maharaj I have come here to remind you. You may have forgotten in the middle of devotees' love that 11000 years has passed."
12:24.8
12:28.9
"Your time has passed. You had come on this day"
12:29.0
12:32.9
"Its upto you that you may want to stay for more time."
12:43.6
12:48.3
Tomorrow it will be a new year.
12:48.4
12:51.2
Celebrate it only when
12:51.3
13:04.8
you are able to control mind through intellect when mind wanders with its power and you are able to put the mind towards God.
13:05.8
13:13.6
It will not automataically happen. You have to forcefully take it
13:13.7
13:22.7
You have been waiting from an endless time with this faith that mind will move automatically.
13:22.8
13:29.0
Why will it move towards God? You are taking it towards worldly things.
13:31.7
13:36.9
You have been practicing to take it to worldly things and you expect it to move towards God?
13:37.0
13:39.3
How is that possible?
13:43.1
13:47.9
Wherever you practice it to take towards it will move towards that. Right?
13:48.0
13:52.8
Vedavyas has said in one of his beautiful shlokas
13:52.9
14:08.6
Maharajji quoting shlok
14:12.2
14:20.0
If you repeatedly think about worldly things, mind will get attached to worldly things.
14:20.1
14:29.0
If you repeatedly think about me, it will get attached to me.
14:29.1
14:33.1
its all about thinking repreatedly.
14:37.0
14:41.8
More repeatedly you think about something, more attached mind will get at it.
14:48.0
14:53.1
Hence we need to increase our repeated thinking. Thats it.
