Everybody Said You Were a Cat

a long time in Satsang. He said that, Suppose you were born in this world without any mirrors, you were born in this world which had no mirrors, so you did not know who you were. And everybody said that you are a cat. Everybody said that you are a cat. So your only job then became to go after the next bowl of milk. Then get a good education, then you'll be happy. Get a good job, then you'll be happy. Find the right partner and get married, then you'll really be happy. Have children and have a fulfilling married life, then you'll be happy. Make lots of money in the bank, give security to your life and your family, then you'll be happy. So, all these bowls of milk you had, and say, but this lasting peace, lasting joy, just not coming. So then what happens is that somebody goes and tells this cat that there's this big bowl of milk which is unending. After you do all this practice, if you do all of this effort, then you might one day get access to this Amrit, this nectar of immortality and that will be your final bowl of milk. Unending joy. When we go to the sage and say, please, dear sir, can we have this, we were promised And many have said that you have this nectar of freedom, can you give it to us, this bowl of milk? We have to taste it. What can we do? He says, I have no bowl of milk. What are you talking about? I have no bowl of milk, but I do have a mirror. Do you want to look? You, that you are posing as if you are a cat, I don't see a cat at all. I can show you in this mirror. And most don't want that. Most still want that bowl of milk for the cat, because the cat is so strongly believed. There are some who have come to satsang for these ages.
