SATGURU’S VOICE - 3
My Salutations
to all Pious Souls………….
In
this Deep Meditation Anushthan the “Guru Energies” themselves are supervising
the Gurukarya, and their supervision takes place in a very subtle manner;
whatever they are telling me is being informed to you, you won’t understand
this by reading it once – read it at least ten times.
Man’s intellect
gives primacy to the physical and not to the subtle hence man gives more
importance to the physical body and not to the “Soul”; whatever karmas are
performed by the body, whether they are good karmas or sinful karmas, they only
enhance the ego of the ‘I’ of the body. Because of the good karmas man also
manages to reach the “Satguru”, but he does not recognise him nor does he
“believe” him, this is the reason why the number of people who reach the
“Satguru” is more and those who “believe” in him is less. Because of the
good karmas of the past birth it is possible to reach the “Satguru”, but it is
not possible to attain him, and if you reach the “Satguru” you will also
obtain “experience of the soul”, but even after obtaining the experience you will
not be able to recognise what you have attained; this is because “experience”
is related to the “soul” and you only keep knowledge of “karma and body”. What
will the body, which only understands good karma, understand the “importance”
of “experience” of the soul, the body which has not been able to recognise
the Satguru – how will it understand the “experience” obtained from the Satguru.
Satguru is alive in physical form, but if you have not been able to recognise
him, then how will you be able to understand the “experience” obtained through
him, this is the one reason why in spite of reaching the “Satguru” the sadhaks
“lose” the Satguru, in spite of obtaining the experience the sadhaks “lose” the
“experience”; and they also obtain the “ego” that they have reached the
Satguru, they also increase the “ego” that they have obtained “experience of
the soul”, everything is progress of the “ego”.
The ego of “I”
has got its own separate ledger account, in that by doing good karmas you make
progress, by reaching “Satguru” also you make progress, you obtain “experience
of the soul” from the Satguru and also just keep making progress. “I” is a
representative, the good karma performed by the “I” of the body, the
“Satguru” reached through the “I”, the “experience of the soul” obtained
through the “I” – these are all of no use to you. This is all useless, because
I have recognised the Satguru, I have obtained the “experience” – this illusion
will be created and you will never step forward in your life in this direction.
Now sit in “solitude” and “introspect” and “ruminate” whether you have
recognised the Satguru? Have I been able to understand the experience –
introspection will take you within and display of “ego” will take you in the
external direction, where you want to go – you decide that first.
The Guru
Energies want to put forth their view by means of a story. Shamu was a person
who was working as an officer in a bank – in his past birth he had performed
good karma whose fruits he was enjoying in this birth and he was happy in this
birth. Friends from his neighbourhood returned from Vaishnodevi’s temple, and
on seeing them he too was inspired to also go and visit Vaishnodevi. So in a
years’ time he saved enough money and went to Vaishnodevi temple for making offerings.
In his mind neither did he have any religious belief nor any “faith” about
that place. Because everybody went and came he too decided to go, he went
there too, everybody was paying obeisance, Shamu also did the same and upon
returning he started telling his friends ‘I too visited Vaishnodevi, “I” too
went there and came’ – meaning on returning from there Shamu increased his
“ego” – that I also visited that place, “I” also took that tour and returned;
but that which he should have obtained from going there he did not receive
because his focus was not on that – this was a tour of the physical body and
good karma.
Ramu was a
person who was a labourer in a tea plantation – when he also had come to know
about Vaishnodevi he had become a devotee from that time. He always used to
ruminate about Vaishnodevi, he knew that Vaishnodevi is that “place”, where on
going there all of mans desires are fulfilled; he recognised and knew the
consciousness of that place. He also knew, that on going there what he should
“ask” for; he also knew that he would never be able to save enough money to
make the journey.
That is why he
started praying daily to Vaishnodevi, and while continuously praying he became
one with Vaishnodevi that during meditation Vaishnodevi “appeared” and then a
miracle took place – the plantation owners’ aged mother got the desire to visit
Vaishnodevi; so how will the old lady go alone hence the owner sent Ramu along
with his old mother to visit Vaishnodevi. Both of them left on this journey –
today Ramu was very happy because his life’s greatest desire was about to be
fulfilled, his entire life’s wish was about to be fulfilled.
Ramu reached
Vaishnodevi along with his employers’ old mother and on reaching there he
attained a thoughtless state and over there he “prayed” to Vaishnodevi asking
to be shown the path to “liberation” in this birth. He knew the importance of
that place, he knew what he should ask for over there and that is why he asked
for the path for the progress of his soul. Later both of them returned and
a “Satguru” in the form of a medium of Paramatma came into Ramu’s life in that
tea plantation and he obtained “experience of the soul” through the medium of
the Satguru and Ramu attained the state of “liberation” in this life itself –
and these incidents have taken place in front of me.
From this
incident we can understand that if we perform good karmas for the progress
of our soul, then they increase the “purity” of the soul, and the same good
karmas if we do for exhibition then they increase the ego of the “I” of the
body; and the ego of ‘I’ is related to the body, hence because of the good
karmas performed with the ego of ‘I’ we manage to reach a “Satguru” in the next
birth, we also obtain experience but we do not manage to surrender to the
Satguru and because of this we definitely keep the identity of “I” separate
over there also. The manner in which we purify ourselves before going to a holy
place, we balance ourselves to connect to the energy of that place, similarly,
before going to visit any Satguru we need to make ourselves so pure that we can
“merge” with the Satguru through the medium of our chitta; and in the
collectivity of his Ganges waters we need to dissolve the “black ink” of the
ego of “I” – the “black ink” can never become “white”, it can only be “dissolved”.
If you can do this in your life then your life can also change direction in “one
moment”, and the purity and holiness of the soul can only come through
devotional practice, hence always perform devotional practice chanting, “I
am a pure soul, I am a holy soul.” Maybe then you may see the light of the
soul within you and in that light of the soul you will start seeing everything
very clearly.
Guruma explains
to me that however highly educated the teacher the student sitting in front of
him is in the first standard only. When I have done M.A., even if I want to put
my entire knowledge into that student I will be unable to do so because I have
taken 18 years to obtain that knowledge, for obtaining this knowledge the
student will also definitely require 18 years. It is just like that, whatever
you have obtained through devotional practice over many births, you want to put
it in sadhaks in just one birth, so how is that possible – they too will have
to wait for many births.
I had said, I
am my sadhaks “mother” and it will be my effort to ensure that the difficulties
and hardships encountered by me in my life should not be faced by my children, what
you say in practical education is correct, but in spiritual education the
Satguru’s “entire knowledge can be obtained in a single moment” by the
disciple, this is my personal experience. Because later the disciple’s body
may be different, shape could be different, colour could be different, gender
could be different, caste could be different, country could be different,
religion could be different but all this is external, related to the physical
body, it is perishable – this can be different but the disciples “soul”
merges. This incident is similar to when a river goes and merges into a
“vast ocean,” in one moment the river becomes the “ocean”, and is called
an “ocean”. The river completely loses its entire existence, because this
is a “natural” event. In this world no man can give you the experience of
the soul and no man can receive it.
Even after
obtaining this experience it remains – the sadhaks body and the body’s ego of
“I” – which even after obtaining the experience does not let the soul merge
with Parmatma. Now the sadhak will only have to control his/her “I” –
this ego of “I” is the biggest obstacle on the path to liberation of the soul.
Experience of
the soul is the door to “liberation”, but you cannot enter the door with your
body, the ego of “I” has control over the body, it catches the body, and the
body the soul, hence there is only one path – make your soul strong, only
then will the ego of the body be brought under control.
Through good
karma it is possible to reach the “Satguru”, but you cannot accept the
“Satguru”, the purity and holiness of the soul is absolutely essential for
progress of Parmatma . This is only possible through devotional
practice, with regular devotional practice know your soul, spend some time
with it, tomorrow it will become your “Guru” and then you will realise that the
Guru outside and the one within are not different, they are one and the
same – all of you should reach that state is my prayer to God. Lots of blessings
to you all………………………………..
