“In a harmonious social order no one will run after fame or wealth like a mad dog. A congenial external environment will assist them in achieving mental balance, and people’s psychic poverty will also gradually decrease.”
Sa tu bhavati daridra yasya áshá vishálá;
Manasi ca parituśt́e ko’rthaván kodaridrah.
[Those who have many desires are poor.
When the mind is contented, who is rich and who is poor?] (1)
Note: In this era those with money are looked upon as being rich but according to Ananda Marga philosophy this is not the case. One might have billions of dollars and still be poor. And how can those with nothing be rich? Because rich and poor are of the mind. Regardless of how much wealth you have, if you think you need more then you are poor. And if the mind is satisfied but on the material plane you have nothing, even then you are rich.

~ Why are you just sitting idle and wasting your time? ~
PS Intro: In this song Sadguru is questioning His disciples like in dharma samiiksa.
"Keno base ácho káj ki serecho, hisáb nikásh tár deve ki ámáy..." (PS #2182)
Purport:
Here Sadguru asks His disciple:
Why are you just sitting idle and wasting your time? What work have you finished? Will you give Me all those accounts of what you did? What happened with those works. Report Me what you have gained and what you have lost. All those credits and debits - income & expenses - you have to show Me. How much devotion have you earned, how many of your samskaras have you exhausted, and how much remains. In the balance of all this, is there something positive or negative. Give Me a clear account.
The dawn of your life is gone, and now the sunset of your life has come. Since long you have been on this earth and you got so many opportunities - and you have been blessed with innumerable inhalations and exhalations that have passed. In each and every breath, you were given the opportunity to practice bhagavada dharma. And now the pitch dark night is going to fall. In this crucial hour, give Me the account of how you passed your time from the dawn of your life up to your present age.
O’ human being, In the dawn of your life you spoiled your time in child's play; and after that you wasted your time in acquiring dry knowledge; then you were engaged in earning your livelihood. Like this your whole life passed without caring about paramartha. And now in your old age you are wasting your time counting the stars. Now you tell, what is in your mind. What is it you want to do. Thus far you have wasted your entire life. Human life is valuable. So wasting the life like animals by just eating, drinking, and sleeping is not worthwhile. O' My disciple, whatever little time is left you must utilise in practise of bhagavat dharma and devotional cult...
End Notes for PS #2182
Note 1: Your lot will be only a profound sigh – a record of the futility and frustration of your life
"The worship of Brahma should be done scrupulously, or else you will later regret and bemoan the futility of your life with the last drop of your tears at your last hour. You should make your life worthwhile through your Sádhaná. How much can your worldly friends and relations do for you? After your death your relatives may perhaps ask, “How much money has he left behind?” Your friends may go to the crematorium and indulge in flattering reminiscences about you. Your husband or wife may cry for you for about ten or twelve days and then regain their normal composure. Your lot will be only a profound sigh – a record of the futility and frustration of your life. So do not waste your time lest you later have to repent.” (1)

बाबा, तुम्हें याद करते हुये, सत्पथ पर चलते हुए, मैं तुम्हारी सेवा करता जाऊँगा
प्रभात संगीत 2181: तोमारे स्मरिया, सुपथ धरिया कोरिया जाबो आमि तोमारी काज...
भावार्थ
बाबा, तुम्हें याद करते हुये मैं सत्य के रास्ते पर चलता जाऊँगा। इस प्रकार तुम्हारी सेवा करता जाऊँगा और तुम्हारी इच्छा पूरी करता जाऊँगा। हे मेरे मन के परमप्रिय रत्न! मैं तुम्हारी कृपा से हमेशा तुम्हारी ही ओर बढ़ता जाऊँगा। मैं भूतकाल और जड़ता को भूलकर सबप्रकार की कुप्रथाओं को दूर फेक दूँगा। हे मनोराज! मैं तुम्हारी निकटता पा-लूँगा।
हे दिव्य सत्ता! तुम्हारी कृपा से अब मैं अपनी स्वार्थपरता को पैर की एक ठोकर से चूर चूर कर दूँगा। मैं सब की आवश्यकताओं की ओर ध्यान दॅूंगा और सबकी सेवा में ही अपने को व्यस्त रखूंगा। आज के बाद मैं यह नया विचार अपने मन में हमेशा चिंतन करूंगा कि सबकी भलाई ही मेरी भलाई है। आज आज से मैं स्वार्थी नहीं रहॅूंगा।
हे बाबा! तुम्हारी कृपा से तुम्हारे बारे में सोचते हुये , तुम्हारे प्रेम और महानता से तुम्हारे ही समान हो जाऊँगा। मेरी संकीर्णता नष्ट होकर मेरा पूरा अस्तित्व व्यापक हो जावेगा। तुम्हारे दिव्य स्पर्श से मेरा पूरा अस्तित्व आनन्द से स्पन्दित हो जायेगा। तुम जैसा आशीष दोगे उसी के अनुरूप मैं रूपान्तरित हो जाऊँगा। यह सब हो जाने के बाद मैं तुम्हारी इच्छानुकूल तुम्हारी ही सेवा करूँगा।
बाबा! तुम्हें याद करते हुए मैं साधना सेवा और त्याग पूर्वक सच्चाई के पथ पर बढ़ता जाऊँगा।
टिप्पणी- मनोराज, परम पुरुष का एक नाम है जिसका अर्थ है जो मन में निवास करता है।
Note: As every sadhaka knows one may serve Parama Purusa in three realms. Rendering selfless service to society is serving Parama Purusa in the physical sphere. Singing kiirtan is serving Him in the psychic sphere. And dhyana sadhana is serving Him in the spiritual realm.
