To some, the Lord has given silks and satins, and to some, beds decorated with cotton ribbons.
Some do not even have a poor patched coat, and some live in thatched huts.Our mind should not indulge in envy and bickering as only by continually doing good deeds these are obtained.The Potter works the same clay, and colors the pots in different ways,Into some, He sets pearls, while to others, He attaches filth.
God gave wealth to the miser for him to preserve, but the fool calls it his own. When God feels like snatching it back, in an instant, everything gets settled. For obtaining peace, as a humble servant of The Lord, we must always behave and obey the Command of the Lord’s Order. Whatever is pleasing to the Lord only happens.
It is false to call out, “Mine, mine.” Breaking the bird cage, death takes the bird away, and only the torn threads remain.
—Saint Kabeer.
