Without the knowledge of God the society cannot be controlled

[dattaswami]

Without the knowledge of God the society cannot be controlled

Mere social service without devotion – gives temporary heaven,

Veda and Gita say the same, - such social service is not eternal.

If you force rich to help poor, – they will act only, no reality.

If you convince the rich – by preaching spiritual knowledge,

They will really serve poor, - force will not work forever.

Even the poor people after – receiving donation from rich,

Do not get satisfied at any stage – without spiritual knowledge.

The result of your social service – gives them temporary happiness.

Hence, the fruit for your sacrifice – must be also temporary only.

 

A politician gets temporary post – and earns temporary wealth

For his social service, – his fame is also not eternal because

It does not follow the soul – after death to the upper world.

Preaching spiritualism should be – the main activity always

Like teaching subjects is main – in a residential college.

Boarding and lodging are also given, – but they are not main.

Similarly, while turning people – into devotees, you may help

The poor people involved in – such divine conversion here.

In such case the fruit is eternal, – because the poor people learn

To be contented with available benefits, – no end to materialism.

 

In the present socialism – the poor is never satisfied in life,

Donor weeps after donation – receiver is never satisfied.

This leads to cheating by donor – and revolt by receiver.

Both destroy the peace of society, – Pravrutti is disturbed.

Nivrutti cannot stand in society – with disturbed Pravrutti.

Nivrutti is the play of Lord – Pravrutti is the stage for His play.

Yajna is sacrifice for society – that gives temporary heaven.

 

By such Yajna, Dharma Raja – went to temporary heaven only.

The same sacrifice of Saktuprastha – to Lord in the guest form

Leads him to the eternal abode of God, - Nivrutti is highest.

If Nivrutti is preached – Pravrutti is also setup permanently.

If Pravrutti alone is preached – even Pravrutti is not settled.

Without the knowledge of God – society cannot be controlled.

Knowledge of God leads people – to permanent abode of God,

Simultaneously it will also setup – the balance of the society.
