There was a good Queen by name . She had a son by name . When was a boy of ten years, the maids were giving him an oil bath scented with perfumes, making him sit on a stool and telling him various worldly things. saw this through the doors of her apartments. Seeing them whiling away time in futile talks and pleasantries, she felt sorry. She came to the place where was being bathed and stood there with tears flowing from her eyes. The son asked, “Mother, why are you crying?” She was silent. The son again asked for the reason. The mother said, “The only thing left of your grandfather, forefathers, and your father, who enjoyed all these physical pleasures, is one handful of ash; we do not see them any more; at least you should be wise and try to enjoy the eternal bliss of the instead of enjoying these worldly pleasures connected with the body. The great who always spoke the truth - did he not die and leave this world? Could , who ruled the entire earth, take a portion of the earth with him? Did , who was a gem among kings, take away treasures with him? Does , who built the or bridge across the ocean, remain on the earth now? No one has taken these earthly treasures or achievements with him. Do you hope to take this kingdom and pleasures with you? We must experience only the eternal bliss with the and not the worldly things. We must perform good actions with the body and must have good promptings by the mind. It is only such things that please God and draw forth His Grace.” Whatever things we do with this body, we are leading to a rebirth of this body. Any actions, good or bad, can be compared to seeds. In order not to sow such seeds, we should do all actions without desire. All actions should be done, in and only for the pleasure of God. If you sweep a place, think that you are doing that for cleaning the heart, the shrine of God. When you help or harm others, think that you are doing it to yourselves. Then you will never let yourself harm anyone else.
