(Sant kabir Jayanti 7th June)
A scholar, Sarvananda lived in kashi. He hand defeated many learned men and scolars in religious debates. As a result, the scholars of kashi conferred on him the title of ‘Saravajit’ (winner of all) and stared calling him by that name. His mother once visited Kashi and attended Sant Kabir’s satsang. She got initiated as his disciple by receiving a mantra from him. Realizing the futility of he son’s erudition she challenged her son Sarvaji that she shall consider him the winner of all only if he defeats Kabirji in a realious debate.
Sarvajit’s mother’s words hurt him. He loaded all his religious books on a bull and reached Kashi. He arrived at Karbirjji’s house and enquired, is this Kabirji’s house?’
Kabirji was not at home. Looking at the bull laden with books. Kabiriji daughter Kamali understood the situation and said with a smile, No this is not Kabriji house. His house couldn’t be located by even Brahma Vishnu and Shiva She added:
‘Kabir house is on the summit atop innumerable universes. The path to reach there is very slippery.
Even an ant cannot get a foothold on this path. This pandit (learned man) wants to take his bull (his ego based on his knowledge) along. How can he go?
An egotist can never attain the state of Nirvikalpa Samadhi, the ultimate stage towards attainment of Wisdom.
Sarvajit could not immediately respond to Kamali’s reply. In the meantime, kabirji arrived. Saravajit challenged him to have a religious debate. Hearing the challenge Kabirji said, ‘O Brother I am an ordinary, illiterate weaver. I have never even seen so many books in my life.
However sarvajit insisted on having a religious debate and on being asked he even revealed debate and on being asked he even revealed to Kabirji what his mother had told him. On hearing that Kabirji said, “Bother I know that I will not win over you in the debate. I accept my defect.”
Sarvajit sand if you accept your defeat then please gives it to me in writing.”
Kabirji replied, I do not even know how to write. You may write what you want I shall sing on it.”
Sarvajit wrote Sri Kabir Saheb lost in the religious debate and pandit Sri Saravajit won.
Kabirji signed on it.
On returning home when Saravajit showed the paper to his mother it was written the paper to his mother it was written Sri Kabir saheb won the religious debate and pndit Sri Sarvajit lost.’
Realizing that he might have made a mistake in writing, Sarvajit again went to Kashi. He got Kabirji signature on a new once of paper. But lo even this time the same thing happened. Thus having reputedly seen the contents of the winner’s certificate reversed, Sarvajit fainted and fell down. On regaining consciousness he said to his mother, Mother Kabirji is surely a magician. He does something and what I write gets changed.”
Sarvajit mother was a wise lady. She was familiar with Kabirji greatness. She said,”O son Kabitrji is no ordinary person. He is a Brhamjnai saint established firmly n Yoga. The supermen Lord Himself out of compassion keeps visiting the earth in the form of great people as Nitya avatars (recurring incarnation). You have extensively read history puranas and religious texts. Can you mention any scripture in which there is an incident in which a person has established his name by defaming such a great man? It is evident that the person who tries to humiliate a great saint himself gets humiliated as a result divine play.
“Son, one who acts without thinking about the consequences, is not a human beings but an animal. His life gets filled with darkness. It s my humble request to you to pay attention your ego learn form those whose lives have been transformed by dissolving their ego by seeking refuge at the feet of holy man. There after you many at do what you find suitable.”
With a calm mind Sarvajit started contemplating his mother’s words. He who was adept at memorizing scriptures had for the first time in life opened his inner book. After a while Sarvajit stood up and walked are feet to kabirji. He prostrated before him. Noticing this tine sarvajit hand not brought his bull laden with books along. Kabriji understood that he had got freed form his ego embodied as a bull.
Pleading at the feet of Kabirji Sarvajit said, “Maharaja You mercifully signed my winner certificate but God by reversing it thus defeating me has blessed me by annihilating my ego. O Lord You are the shelter of the helps. Please forgive my offence and make me your disciple.
Kabirji intitated Sarvajit as his disciple by giving him Guru Mantra and said, “Sarvajit no one becomes a pandit (learned man) by merely memorizing religious texts. Only that person is learned who has learnt the two and on the path of becoming a learned man in the true sense. One who performs Yajna sacrificing al his possession becomes a true saravajit (winner of all). The sacrifice of one ego is same as sacrificing all. Sarvananda now set out on the journey towards becoming real Sarvajit. By rendering service to his sat guru Kabitrji and by listening contemplating practicing his Guru precepts he achieved the real goal of human life.”
…….. Then the entire life will go in vain
Professor Dey of the Banaras Hindu University observed a daily routine of worshipping God for a few minutes. One day some professors who were atheists, came to annoy professor Dey. Then said: “There is no God why do you waste your ten minutes?”
Everyone had anticipated that professor Dey will start presenting many arguments to prove the existence of God and we all shall counter him. However the intelligent professor Dey thought Tit for tat is the only way to put across my point to them.
Prof Dey said: “Bother if actually God does not exist then lose only a few minutes. But if He is existent then your entire life will go in vain”.
All the atheists were dumbfounded
