Worldly joy is just an illusion
The longing of the heart is known only to those in love.
Two parrots quarreled on a tree. The male said, “Meditate on God's glory, do not eat poisonous fruits of passion.” Death strikes without warning. These enjoyments are Fata Morgana, unreachable. The joy of joy is less than its sorrow. Keep the world behind, face reality. Satsang is the tree of immortality, giving immortal fruits. The female replied, “Repeat Soham mantra—it costs nothing. Death is a cat that will chew your skin.” The mind is the sutra, body the cave, atma the soul. Realize immortal peace through Guru's grace. Rise early, do sadhana, do not be lazy. The knees, ears, eyes, and tongue all rebel: they were misused for useless places and gossip. The garden of the world dries up. This human life is rare. Where a saint, yogi, or guru is, there is pilgrimage and happiness.
“Satsaṅg is the tree of immortality.”
“The joy of the joy is less than the sorrow of the joy.”
