Now, he took out his finger and he started almost screaming, but the first friend said, “Be quiet. So, he also put his finger inside and, similarly, the scorpion stung even the second person. So, he said, “See? Outside it is cold, but in the navel, it is really cold. Thereafter, he wanted to motivate him to put his finger in that navel. See how cold it is.”Īnd that person started putting his hand around the stomach of that idol and feeling how cold and seeing how cold it was. He quietly called one of them inside, and he said, “Come, see this idol.” And when he came inside, he said, “See? Touch that stomach of the idol. However, he felt, “If I now tell my two other friends that I have got bitten like this, then they will make a mockery of me.” So, he came out. So, that scorpion stung this person, who had put his finger inside, and he got bitten. Now, that navel was quite deep inside, and there was a scorpion inside. Let me just feel it.” So, he put his finger inside. He felt, “If I put my finger inside that naval, that must be even cooler. And, as he touched that stomach, because this idol was so large, the navel of this idol was also quite deep.

So, when he moved his hand around the stomach of that idol, he felt that this stone, this idol, was so cold. In that place, in that temple, that idol had become very cold. The priest used to give a bath to that idol regularly. When he touched it, he felt the deity, the idol, was very cold. So, this person started touching that stomach of that deity. And, since it was very big, the stomach of Ganapati was also very large. One of them went in, and he saw this huge deity of Ganapati, it was made of stone. This was a very old temple, built of stones, and there was a very big deity of Lord Ganapati, that was there inside. And, while they were walking, there was a temple on the way. There were three friends, and they went out for a walk. So, they start getting attached around their grandchildren.Īnd that is how, thinking about all of these bondages and attachments, day and night, the soul becomes sorrowful.īaba Ji used to, often, relate this story. And, they have this urge to see their children having children. Now, after the child, when people get older, they want to see their grandchildren. So, now, this is the third bondage that the soul is getting tied up in. The soul is now worried about the child, the upkeep of the child, and the education of the child, and the nurturing of the child, and all of those things attached around the child. So, now, they have the child to care for. So, the soul gets attached into all of this.Īfter the wife, when the two are there, they want a progeny, they want a child. He has to search for a livelihood and he has to make a home, and all of those things. And, he has to take care of all the needs of both of them. Now, the person has to think about himself and his wife. So, that is the first bondage that the soul is tied up in, with the body.Īfter that, when the child grows, the parents get the child married.

So, all the things that the body needs are what the soul has to now think about, and it has to work towards that. Now, because the soul is encaged in the body, it has to think of everything, and it has to take care of the body. When the soul comes at the back of the Eye Center, and it starts associating itself with the body, it builds the ego around the body. So, in this Bani, Swami Ji Maharaj has explained how different kinds of entanglements have been cast, and how the soul has been entangled in various kinds of attachments. And that is how it is encaged in this world of Kal. The mind is entangled with the indryas, and the soul is tied up with the mind. And, as a result, the soul has got entangled. These were to be controlled by the mind, and the mind was to be controlled by the soul, but it is all now working in reverse. So, it has got entangled in all of these. And it has got entangled in all the indryas, in all the vices, that have been set for it by Maya- that is, greed, attachment, anger, and lust, and ego. The soul has got encaged in the body and the mind. In this Bani Swami Ji Maharaj has illustrated how the soul has come down from God Almighty and it has got completely entangled in the world of Kal and Maya. THIS IS THE BANI of Param Sant Satguru Swami Ji Maharaj.
