JAMMU, SEPT, 25:
Showering nectarian bliss on the followers at Ranjri on the eve of Purnima, Sh. Madhu Param Hans ji Maharaj, the head of Sahib Bandgi panth, said that the four kinds of salvation one can attain through Sagun or the Nirgun form of worship are short lived. There is no spiritual knowledge to be found in the heaven. Due to this very reason the Rishi Mridugal had refused to go to heaven. When the messengers of God came to take him, he asked them to explain to him the detail about heaven. The messengers while describing the good points said that it was a very pleasureful place where beautiful water bodies trees laden with sweet & beautiful flowers were to be found. Describing the shortcomings there the messengers said that the heaven was a place where people go to reap the reward of their merits. But they can’t perform any Karma there. Unlike the earth, where even a small employee can get promotion, the people there remain as they are. There is no scope to move ahead. Secondly, there is an element of fear to be found there. One has to return to the earth after reaping the merits.
Thirdly, there is an element of envy as well. All don’t enjoy the same kind of pleasures. There are three categories in heaven. Those in the lower ones envy those falling in the higher one.
Hearing all this, the Rishi asked the messengers to go back. He said that he wanted to attain spiritual knowledge. He didn’t want to go to the place where only the fruit is reaped. Such a place can’t give spiritual knowledge. As such, he refused to go there. But the worldly people perform all sorts of Karmas to reach there.
There was a small boy. He had read that there were Apsras (beautiful women) in heaven & one could enjoy a lot of pleasures there. From the very childhood he began to tell his mother that he wanted to go to heaven. The parents felt disturbed. They asked a doctor to treat the boy. The boy belonged to a rich family. The doctor got a grand building constructed in a forest. He arranged there all sorts of pleasureful things the boy had read about. One night, he lifted him during his sleep & placed him there. On getting awake, the boy asked where he was. There was a garden as well. There were charming girls as well in the guise of Apsras. They said that he had come to the heaven. For a little while he felt very happy for having reached the heaven. When the day dawned, he said that he wanted to play Gulli Danda. The doctor said that one couldn’t play such a game there. Then he asked about his mother. The doctor said that there was no Mummy to be found in heaven. Then he asked about the whereabouts of Munn. The doctor said that there was no Munnu there. Then he asked where his grand maternal mother was. He wanted to listen stories from her. The doctor told him that there was no grand maternal mother to be found there. At this, the boy felt very sad & said that he didn’t want to remain in such a heaven. He began to weep. During his sleep, he was again lifted & brought to his home. On getting awake he was very much delighted to find his mother. He told her that he didn’t want to go to the heaven.
Sahib Kabir has clearly said that there is nothing to be found in heaven. There is nothing to be found in other lokas like the Brahm lok as well. But the Amar lok is a very rare kind of Loka. Pleasures & pleasures alone & no kind of sorrows are to be found there.
