THE VOICES OF THE PAST
========================
Indeed the younger generation has much to learn from the Voices of the Past, of the Saints, Sages and Prophets and Avatars who came down upon this planet earth and sacrificed their lives to save humanity and to grant them peace and beatitude and a relief from their sorrows and sufferings..
My Revered Grandfather, HH Shri Babaji Bhagwan was a multimilionaire owning lands and properties and bazaars and mansions in the Punjab in North India.

My Revered Grandfather, HH Shri Babaji Bhagwan was a multimilionaire owning lands and properties and bazaars and mansions in the Punjab in North India.
He gave it all away to the poor and those in need, and took to the spiritual path, even as Divine LIght entered into him.
After many years of serving humanity, just before he left this physical world for his Divine Abode from where he had come, he wrote down these few words in Persian, which was indeed the voice of all the Great Souls who came into the world and tried to change humanity, but found the people of the world adamant in their old ways.
His words of disappointment with the world were:
"Vaadaa-haaye mardame duniyaa ghalat
Haan ghalat, aare ghalat, imshab ghalat fardaa ghalat
Nuskhaye beenaayiye deevaane umare maa ma purs
Khud ghalat, mazmoon ghalat, inshaa ghalat, imlaa ghalat"
"The promises of worldly men are a deception,
They are wrong, this night is wrong,
Tomorrow night is wrong,
Ask me not of the dictionary of my life,
I am wrong, my grammar wrong, my spelling wrong,
My writing wrong!"
It was his greatness that he called himself wrong in trying to change the world, when in fact it was the world that was wrong.
Indeed even ordinary people have found this to be true in their lives, that to reply on the promises of worldly men is a deception. There is only ONE you can rely upon, and that is God.
