(Excerpts form the satsang of Pujya Bapuji)
I have observed it in many people’s lives that those who maligned saints and vexed them or hindered their divine endeavors had to face a lot of misery, misfortune and troubles. And those who participated in saints’ divine works got blessed; they salvaged lost games. Their extinguished lamps were relit and their arid land becomes green. There may be thousands or even lakhs of such fortunate ones.
The Gurubaani says and it is very true:
‘The slanderer of the saint is a brutal butcher. The slanderer of the saint is cursed by the Transcendent Lord. The hopes of the slanderer of the Saint departs disappointed. The slanderer of the Saint becomes deformed. The slanderer of the Saint receives his punishment in the Count of the Lord. O Nanak, if it pleases the Saint, then even this one may be liberated.’
If he shows sings of reformation and surrenders himself to the saint the saint with his compassion liberates him.
If you want to ruin somebody engage him in hearing slanders of a saint: he will be automatically ruined. And if you want to liberate somebody get him to participate in a saint’s divine works; he will automatically get elevated.
Tulsidasji also says in the Rama Charit Manas:
‘Were there is wisdom there too is every kind of prosperity.’
If you repeat and constantly remember Lord’s name, if you eschew evil tendencies, your intellect attains wisdom. Them wealth of every king safeguards you. Even those around you are benefited. So the wise are protected by the divine nature.
‘Where there is unwise judement, there at the end is misfortune.’
Those who are engaged in evil deeds, who shake people’s faith or do some other sinister act, are bound to suffer great misery. And it is not necessary that one breaking other faith will suffer for his misdeeds on the same day. It may happen months or years later. The law of Karma is inexorable. Our actions may bear fruit for us after 50 years or even in the next life.
Faith begets the joy of Love; faith enables us to attain the Truth. If somebody breaks our hand or leg or head, he is not as big a sinner as the one who breaks our faith.
‘Kabir considers that a slanderer of the Gurus is worse than a thousand sinners. Such a one should be regarded as carrying lakhs of sinners on his head become there is a passivity of reforming the sinners but there is no salvation for the slanderer of the Guru.
One who maligns God,, our sadhana or our Guru and there by breaks our faith is a grave sinner. We should never lend an ear to him.
There were people who used to spread rumours and gossip about Ravidas, Dadu Dindayal and other saints. There were people who slandered Swami Ramsukhdas. Such dirty rumours were spread against this great saint when he was sixty years of age, that if I go to mention them I would only be making my mouth and your ears dirty. The pious saint was so anguished that he went on a complete fast.
The slanderers who break’s faith will get their due in future. Those on the other hand whose faith is broken are ruined instantly. Their peace of mind is gone the joy of Love is gone and the light of Knolwdge is gone too. The bound they had forged with the Guru has been broken by a sinner.
Today a conspiracy is under way to malign Hinduism. Why should few break our faith in our religion? Why should we abandon the Dharma in which the Lord incarnated Himself as Lord Krishna Lord Rama and Lord Shiva in which came saints like Mirabai Kabir Guru Nanak and other, in which there were kings like Bhagiratha, who brought the holy Ganga to earth?
“Guru Tegbahdur said, Listen O Sikhs O blessed ones Give up your life but not your religion. If you get into the tutelage of a Sat guru t the cost of your life it is very good bargain.”
If one comes by Sat guru of Hindu Dharma at the cost of one’s life it is very good bargain.
On the path of sadhana in the pursuit of the supreme goal, identification of oneself with the body attachment with the body is a Gordian knot. Without cutting the quagmire of delusion no aspirant can attain accomplishment. An aspirant is unable to cut this knot without the due grace of the sad guru.
