This is a bhajan from a great saint named Brahmānandjī Mahārāj. Only one who has realized the reality and the truth can speak about it. There is power in their words. Brahmānandjī Mahārāj was a great saint, and his instruction to his disciples is meant for us, for we are all his disciples. We are disciples of all great souls, of all holy men, and of all holy incarnations. That is it. Duality is not good; it keeps you away from reality. When you do not realize the reality, a cruelty, a cruel nature, remains within you. So Brahmānandjī said, "Do din kā jag mein melā." "Melā" means a coming together of many people, a meeting, a union, like the Kumbh Melā. "Jag" means this world. "Do din kā jag mein melā"—this meeting is only for two days: one day was yesterday, and the second day is today. No one has seen tomorrow; tomorrow will always be tomorrow. There are only these two days. "Do din kā jag mein melā"—this meeting is only for two days. "Sab chalā chalī kā khelā." This is a theater, a theater of creatures coming and going, coming and going—birth and death. "Koī chalā gayā, koī jāve." Someone is gone, and someone is going. How beautiful. "Koī chalā gayā"—someone is gone. "Koī jāve"—and someone is just going. "Koī khaṛā tiārā khelā"—and someone is standing there waiting, ready to go, hitchhiking, tip-top, saying, "Please take me with you." "Koī khaṛā tiārā khelā, sab chalā chalī kā khelā." All this is a play of these creatures, of life coming and going. It is creation. "Kar pāp kapaṭ khal māyā." You did so many sins. You were a cheater. You were sinning, you were cheating, and doing many other things. And you collected māyā. "Dhan lakhon kroḍ kamāyā." And you earned money, millions and billions. How did you earn those millions and billions? It did not just fall to you. You are a businessman, and if you are truly very honest, you cannot be a millionaire. The businessman is one of the best and the greatest liar. Without lying, there is no business. That is why they say, "You don't get what you deserve; you get what you negotiate." But in spirituality, there is no negotiation. That is it. We do not negotiate; we just give. To just give means we renounce; there is no negotiation. So the richest are those who do not desire anything, and the poorest are those working day and night to become the first billionaire in the world. "Kar pāp kapaṭ khal māyā, dhan lākhon kroḍ kamāyā." "Lākh" means one hundred thousand, and "kroḍ" means ten million. "Sang chalē nā ek aḍhelā." But when you die, not even one "helā"—a coin—not even half a "helā" will go with you. Nothing, nothing, ... nothing will go with you. Even your beautiful hair, which you styled every day, even this body will not go with you. This is a bitter truth, but it is like that. So Brahmānandjī said, for what are you doing all this? You are taking so many bad karmas upon yourself, and you know nothing will go with you, not even half a "helā." "Kar pāp kapaṭ khal. Māyā dhan lakhā." This is a play of creation. Your children, your wife or your partner—man or woman—your mother and father and your brother: none of them can help you at the end of your life. We can sit beside you, we can cry for you, we can hold your hand, we can take your head on our lap, we can do many things, but we cannot share your pain and we cannot follow you. Then why are you filling your bags full of sin, fighting and striving day and night for them? Even they are not helpful to you in the end; they cannot help even if they want to. All this is the play of māyā, the play of creation. Come out of this. Come out of this. Meditate, pray, be humble, be kind, be good. Kill your ego. Tomorrow, when you go for a morning walk, put your ego in the lake, in the cold water. This whole world is not immortal; it is mortal. Nothing is permanent; the whole world is mortal. O my dear, sing the bhajan, meditate in the name of God, Īśvara. Brahmānandjī is telling, "Listen, my disciple." "Brahmānand kahe"—he is saying—"Sun chelā"—disciple, listen to what I am telling you: "Sab chalā chalī kā khelā." So this saṃsāra is not immortal; nothing is forever. Therefore, sing "Īśvar kā bhajan, Bhagavān kā bhajan, Gurudev kā bhajan." "Brahmānand kahe, sun chelā." Brahmānand is telling, "Listen, disciples: sab chalā chalī kā khelā." This is a play of this world. Recording location: Czech Republic, Strilky, Summer seminar
