Bad is the Wicket’s Compassion

Sri Vasishthaji says O Rama If a sadhu associates himself with the asadhu he to becomes an asadhu and if an asadhu assocates himself with the sadhu he too gradually trust into ssdhu”

Those striving for the supreme goal are sudhu and those devoting their time to this transitory world are asadhus. When we stay in the company of the asadhus for a extended period of time we too begin to feel,” We should also do at teats this much, we should also build our house here. We should not miss this change. By wording 2-5 hours daily if I get Rs 100, I should go it” O Brother Even a daily earning of one million rupees is of no use to you.

We happen to commit self deception because we live in the company of the vile. If you ponder you will realize that you have wasted so much time f your life. After self realization you will be astonished at the way you have spent your life far. You will feel disgusted thinking, Oh What a great reassure I had and how I wasted my life in just counting and keeping pennies. Oh I did what even a blind person would not do, a person like King Janaka was astonished and exclaimed Oh This is simply amazing. Supremely amazing. He was an emperor and not an ordinary person who get amazed at ordinary things. King Janaka says Alas I have been spending so much time in sheer delusion, when you achieve the wealth of the self you happen to be deathly amazed. This amazement itself is called Samadhi.

Being steadfastly established

In the Knowledge’s of the Self,

He did not come to sense

For two days and a half.

How could have I come to senses? What was I before? Wholesale trader of sugar.. This and that.. And what I am now how have I been wasting time all these days? O how I regret Just as on coming prom pitch darkness into light one on attaining the realization of the supreme Light, the supreme Atman on realizes-Alas what had I been doing till lowland I was considering myself smar.” When I was running my shop, I never considered myself silly. Now you may be a businessman, doctor lawyer, political leader or anything Do you ever think that you are dong anything foolish? No, you rather consider yourself to be doing your right thing. You might be patting your back thinking that you are using your hard your hard and honestly earned money in the service of other though n a small way. On realizing the supreme Atman, you will l come to know that this was a benighted outlook. The mahapursusha, who know there true glory and have realized the real grandeur of God, are you supreme becefactors. Hence whe we so something silly they even get a little angry with us. In their anger they so appear to be taunting us. However these aunts are not inspires by any sense of enmity, but by sheer compassion and kindness. Thank the great souls that they shower their blessings on you even in this way. Navajo people and even the kings and emperors for their own good. My Guru too would make use of reprimand for their own good. My Guru too would make get irked. This might have prom opted Kabeljou to compose this couplet:

Bad is the wicket’s compassion,

Better the master’s wrath.’

Even if I torment you, scold you or exercise my veto power of being your Guru, do not leave me because-

Bad is ht weekend’s compassion,

Better the Master’s wrath.

The scorching sun is the

Sing of the mending rain.”

The Most Crucial Thing

When you are in ruble how your unaware mind does react? My friends just try to find it our. Suppose you get a bating, do you instinctively utter a cry o agony or just happen to utter the divine name Hari? Dose the doctor to the injection come t your mind? Does”Shivoham” all is unreal come to your mind or does something else occur to your? If you happen to get some negative thoughts just sweep it down into the river. Since the river is flooded, it will get swept away. What does your mind think of? Does it has a distorted vision of things or beholds or beholds the Real Being in them? Does it see the Formless in the from or from in the Formless? Reflect deeply on this. If you are ding japa of the Gavtri Mantra, is it fro the fulfillments of some world desire or for the fulfillment of some world desire or for a pure intellect be pure. A pure intellect? “May my intellect be pure. “ A pure intellect alone has the capacity to realize the supreme self.

Chanting to not chanting the Gayatri Mantra is not at all curcial. Being rich or poor is not crucial either. Millions of poor people are wandering anyway. So are thousand and millions of rich people.Vistiting temples or cinema halls in not very crucial either. Sympathizing with the distressed and crying for them is also not a feat. Felling jealous or happy seeing the happiness of others is not that crucial. Neither flying in a celestial plane made of gold nor suffering torture with sinners in the hell is crucial. Imbibing nectar in haven is hell is not a big achievement either. Going to America and coming bnack or even residing there with a green card in not a bog deal.

“He alone who has realized his own True Self: Has accomplished the most crucial thing in thing in this world.’

Mine and other”

Mine and other”

When a sadhaka is given a mantra he becomes silent in the course of doing japa of the mantra. Kaikeyi too had been given a mantra and she had becomes silent. She didn’t fell life speaking. Who had given the mantra to Kailkeyi? Had Vasishthaji or some other self realized saint given the mantra to her? No it was anther, the embodiment of raja sic and tama sic tendencies, who had gives the matra to he. It was not a mantra; it was rather a wail mantra, a devious design When Manchaca came to know of Lord Ram’s due coronation she met Kaikeyi Kaikeyi was very happy. She said, my eldest son will become the King tomorrow.” Kailkeyi and Ramaji used to get along very well.

Kailkeyi said to Manthara, Take this necklace. My worthy so will be crowned tomorrow.”

“What did you say? Your son?

“Yes is Rama not my son?

“Well in a way but blood is thicker than water.”

Manthara gave the evil manta to Kaiklkeyi. What gives rise to attachment and hatred is a wail mantra and what frees us afom attachment and hatred and takes us nearer to Knowledge of the Ultimate Truth is a propitious mantra. Manthara gave an evil mantra to Kaikeyi which posited the queen mind mad consequently she forced King Dasharatha to make Bharata the King ad send Lord Rama into exile. This was the effect to that evil mantra. Sumatra gave another king of mantra to her son Lakshmana. Go and serve Ramaji and conduct yourself in the worked of for the sake of Ranaji. As a devoted wife serves her in laws an guests for the sake of her husband becomes of their being related to l the her husband you too would deal eighth people for the sloe of Rama. See one in all and don’t distinguish between people on the bais of their being your own or others. This was the abattoirs or propitious mantra gives by Sumatra by Sumatra while Manthar gave the evil mantra. This is mine and that is others””

In fact if few examine closely who is after all our own. Even our body doesn’t obey us nor does our mind do so son doesn’t conduct himself according to his according to his parents us. Nobody knows whether of not those we call heap us in times of need. Sometimes our own people term invigorant towards us and at times, strangers comes to take our side. The basic truth is that the supreme Self alone is truly ours. It doesn’t part with us even after ours. It doesn’t part with us even after d3eath. It alone is our own. The reast is all but a dream.

Drops of Nectar

* Bad company is not limited to that of wicked persons. It includes evil actions, sense pleasures, places books business, service, money and wealth, food and dinks, clothes, etc as well.

* Don’t worry so much about having a vision of God rather be concerned more about contemplation of God. Taking refuge in him supreme Soul inane m inner can free one form the bondage of Maya. As on as the ego and the needs purist, absolute absorption in God cannot be attained

Ignorant though Omniscient!

One of the names of God, which appears in the 64^th vers of “Vishnushasaranama”, is “Avijnata”, which means ignorant”, God dwells in all as their Real self and is hence omniscient. However, He is ignorant as well. How is it possible?”

While explaining this point the devotees say, God is ignorant that is He is blind towards the faults of devotes.”

I am not against this interpretation by the devotes; I appreciates it but I would like to add my elaboration as well God is ignorant that is He down’s Know how to harm His devotees, Humans are any other living being. Just as mother cannot harm her child so also Gods cannot harm us.”

If God remains blind towards the faults of devotees hoe will they get rid of their vices? How will they get faultless? God doesn’t know how to harm anybody. So ever if He punishes someone it will be for one’s good only. Just as it is in the case of a mother whether she slaps or feeds sweets to her child it I always for he good of the child alone.

Tease God at times saying, On God We may be ignorant but you too are ignorant in the at you don’t know to harm us. Say, so you have the power to harm us? In thesis way you can challenge God as fell. God will have no answer to this challenge.

For example a child challenges his mother, “Mother, You can never harm me. Try if you have the courage. The mother says came her and I shall do it.” The should says, “Mother Nevertheless, You cannot harm me cer,”Moher says you naughty chide just came here and I will show you.” She holds him here by the ear and gives him a tight slap and says now, haven’t I thought you a lesson? The child replies, yes Mother I had become egoistic ad your sap has only reformed me. You did no harm to me Mother O Mother… God O God…. Ha Ha Ha….!

Similarly, God will do only that which is good for us. God cannot do anything inauspicious to any body. Just as one cannot do harm to any organ of leis body. Even if we amputate an organ throng surgery that will not be with the intention of doing any ha. The Lord says;

“He who know Me as the Good Friends of all beige attain to peace”

Once, Narayama Bapu was annoyed over a parivauar matter an I laughed at him heartily. He chided me while I continued to laugh. He asked me, why you are laughing?” I replied, you are helpless. He was highly accomplished saint, with powers to become invisible and materialize his resolves. I was well aware of this. He lived with me in the Nala caves in Mount Abu. He as a shied but I challenged him and said, “You are Hapless. He stared at me. He knew that I was aware o his yogis powers. I said you can never harm anybody. Then he too started laughing. So at times, you too challenge God and say, Oh God you are simply ignorant and powerless when it comes to doing any harm to us.

“No harm can ever be

Done to anyone by the holy men.”

(Sri Rancharitamansa, Sundera Kanda, 5.2)

“Whenever your holy saints are incapable of inflicting any harm on us how would it be possible for you to do so? You are the saint of saints. So O God How can you do harm to us?

Chaturmasa: The Nectarine Period for Sadhana

During the four months period of Chaturmasa, Lord Vishnu reposes in Yoga indri”. There’re this is considerers to be a golden period for sashays, devotees and worshippers. Adherence to some vow or austerity daring these auspicious period brng imperishable merits. Hence a sagacious person should most essentially and deliberately lake some vow during chaturmasa. This time is considered to be auspicious for worshipping Lord Sri Hair.

Lord Vishnu reposes in water during this pious. So the water is charged with the divine effulgence of the Lord. So taking bat, awhile reverentially remembering the Lord and chanting His pious names, before the dawn is fro more meritorious than collective merits of taking bath n all the pilgrim cents. Thing a bath by adding a mixture of sesame seeds and alma or bola parts in a bucket of water eliminated all ht demerits of the person. Putting a few bilva parts in bucket of water and taking bath therewith while revermitlaly chiming the mantra (Om Namah shivaya) 4-5 times is especially beneficial during Chaturmasa. This practice eradicates the adverse effects of the aggravated vata and protects health. However, thanking bath for the love of the Lord makes it into a devotional practice.

One, who abstains form intake of salt during these four months, is endowed with success in all his meritorious and altruistic activates.

Being compassionate towards all living benign during these auspicious months is considered to be an essential part of dharma. Donation of food grains water and cows, recitation of fire sacrifices all these virtuous deeps are immensely beneficial too. The most meritorious of all these donations is that of food grains. Fateful abstinence form any thing dear to one bring infinite happiness. However infiniteness is best characterized by the Lord Himself.

Meticulous adherence to righteousness, sacred dashing and service of the great men, listening to sacred discourses, penchant for charity worship of Lord Vishnu, etc. are all considered to be highly salubrious dating this period. Donation of milk, curds ghee and butter milk bestows immense merits. One who carries’s out the charitable acts of imparting Knowledge, donation land and cows in noble pursuance attaining divine love has all his manes emancipated pious practices like sleeping on the ground observing celibacy fast silence japa meditation chastity etc are especially bebefilacal during this part of the year.

Taking food in a copper vessel is particularly prohibited in Choatrmasa it is better to abandon metal utensils. Instead taking food in Plash leaves is considered meritorious. It is harmful to wear black and blue apparels in Chaturmasa.

One should make it a point to refrain form slandering other souring these four months. Even lading one’s ears to slider is a sin. Slander is verily a great sin a great horror and a great misery. There is no other sin greater then slandering others.

A wise man, who conserves moderation in diet during the Chaturmasa has all his send destroyed ad attains to the abode of Lord Vishnu. He who subsets on only on tepee of cereal during Chaturmasa becomes fortified against diseases. And one who take food only once a day attains the merits of “Dwadashah Yajna” He who subsists only on lick or fruits during this period thousands of his sis are annihilated with in no time.

Observance of fast one in a tonight burns all the toxins accumulated in the body an transmutes the chyle into food consumed during the fourteen days into Ojas. This adds glory a special significance to lithe “Ekadashi Vrata”. One should observe fast on all Ekadashis during this spious period.

If due to some reason one in unable to abide by there austerities during these four mints them on should observe them at least during the Kartik month (From 5^th Oct to 2^nd Now).

Marriage ceremonies and wishful sacrifices are prohibited during these fore months, which are meant only for observance of sustained.

He who whiles away this precious time of Chaturmasa without dong japa, observing vows and spiritual practices is a real food. On the other, he who makes an pitman above pious oprcitces, does as if attain the very pot of nectar. What a wonderful system is provided by the Indian culture. By ordaining the practice of various auspicious and salubrious activates for different seasons and notches it gives us a golden opportunity not only for material welfare but also for spiritual evolution.

Serve the Boundless…

There is a payable in the scriptures of Vedanta. A gentleman and started a business. He was duped in business and went bankrupt. When his creditors asked him fro repayment, he assured them that by doing some job or business he would clear all his debts. He did join a job but could hardy earn enough to meet his own bare needs. So how could he ever repay his debts? Therefore he was always pestered by his creditors.

Someone ascended him, How can you clear your debts have by this petty job? For that you will have to go to a rich man. Work for him, without a salary, with the spirit to selfless crevice. By the power of selfless service you will become his own man. When you become his own, you reputation will become his own reputation your debts will become has debts, your happiness will become his happiness.”

This seems to be sound advice to hi. He joined the service and would just have his food and receive some basic necessities form his master. He did not aspect money for any other thing. This went on for six months. The Reich man was greatly impressed his bhosetyu. He was gradually promoted to the post of the accountant. Seeing that he now held high post, his Creditors were assured that he would clear his debts ad hence kept cool. Open daddy when the gentleman went to the market, his old credits surrounded him and scolded him left and right for not repaying there loans cone after being promoted to a good post. Disturbed by their scolding, he came the rich man with a fajorlon look on his face,. The man asked him, why are you sad?

The gentleman related his whole story to him. The rich man said, “Brother you are crazy. Why should you be troubled when you are living with me? Had you told me about this earlier I would have cleared all you debts. Now tell me, will you agree with whatever decision I take in this regard?”

“I agree.”

The rich man called his creditors and holds them, “

Will you agree with whatever decision I take regarding your demands?”

“Yes.”

The accumulated interest was deducted principle amount paid. This story is mar rated in the scriptures of Vedanta. It is a parable intended to illustrate a lesson. Now wood do the rich man, the creditors and the gentleman actually stand faro?

The java, the individual soul is the gentleman. He comes to this samara and loses all his spiritual wealth hay joining forces with the robbers in the form of lust, angers etc. He becomes bankrupt having lost his entire spiritual prowess.

Whatever merit he earns by that, is just enough for leading a had to moot life. He fails to clear his debts. Some one advisees him, “Go toe generous rich man. The generous rich man is the self realized sanity. Go to him worship and serve him, but do not ask for any returns. You just willingly surrender yourself to Him. And thane when He comes to known about you bang asked by Nature and Time to clear your debts accumulated on account of having been looted by robbers in the from of lust anger, etc. He will mediated between you and Nature a time for several lives; And by thus clearing your debts owed totem, He will finally awaken you into the Truth that is beyond the touch to Time and Nature.”

You will get nothing being a salve to petty people or by taking up petty jobs.

“The slave (imperfect master) meets the salve;

How can they be freed?

But serve the bondless Mater,

Who is slave to none?

And in a moment He will set thee wholly free.”

The Lord. And that is not all; the perfect discharge of one’s duty automatically leads to aloofness, which nature paves the way for surrender. The total annihilation of selfishness, sloth, ad the limited ego is not possible without a good sense for duty, aloofness and surrender respectively Selfishness, sloth and the limited ego alone have deterred man from seva, spiritual life and love respectively. Destruction of selfishness, sloth and the limited ego are all inherent in initiation.

Education makes a man useful, while initiation redeems one form then datedness to all. Without redemption from indebtedness on cannot make foray into the realm of ease, independence and love, which alumina constitute true life.

Be Steadfast in your Faith

One with a steadfast faith can accomplish even the most difficulty tasks.

Sakhubai a devotee lived in the Karad village of Maharashtra. She was very chaste, polite and sinker but parents in-law were diagonally opposite to her immature wicked harsh and hard hearted. They inflicted a to of torture on Sakhubai

One’s firm resolve can hanger ever the most trying circumstances. Howsoever harshly the people may treat you in the worked if you do not mistreat yourself, their oppression cannot destroy you. You should but be firm in your faith and conviction. A wife is firm in your faith conviction. A wife has faith in her husband ad has resolved to deepened on alone. But if her Sari ins torn and she goes to deg fro it at the neighbor house this amounts to a breach of devotion happens to Kill an insect, he should remember the Lord Achyuta. The is in time with his faith that by remember the Lord all sins are destroyed. But if he takes recourse to rules and goes to bathe in the holy Ganga and observe fast in order to get absolved of his sin, his faith is thereby distorted. If a ;yogi happens to kill an insect it will suffice or him to do primetime and think that the insect has only changed its body while its soul ins anyway immortal ad also that he has not killed the insect intentionally. But if the yogi goes to take a bath in the holy Ganga or observes fasts afro redemption, his such faith in yoga can’t Ultimate Truth happens to kill an insect, for Him even resorting to panorama and self inquiry would mean that he doesn’t really have faith in the philosophy of Knowledge lute Ultimate Truth. If he is a real knower of lithe Ultimate Truth, If he is a real Knower of the ultimate truth he should have the form conviction, The Absolute Beige is ever firm conviction only the form of the insect is subject to that’s all.

One’s own faith is sufficient from one’ deliverance. All kinds of torture were inflicted on Sakhubai but it could not shake he faith for conviction was. The Lord is my very own and he fashions all thanes my regress. All these pleasures and pains are gifts form the Lord.

Parham’s faith was unwavering too. His father inflicted all king s of atrocities on him; but he was firm n his conviction. My Lord is everywhere. He didn’t bur parlays but Holiday who has been endowed with to lashes.

“I have faith n Gandhiniji I am a flower of “Gandhi. He is the tower of importation for me. There is a difference between just saying these ad actually acting according. If one has real faith in Gandhi, on should practice at least a single Gandhi an principle in omen own life. How sledded to truth Gandhi was,

The Exemplary was the faith of shabari, the Bhila woman. Her Gaur told her, you win have to go sear chin g for Lord Rama. Just keep serving at the ashram and Lord Rama will Himself come to you. Share was sixteen years old when she came to the Guru ashram. She grew up to become an old woman of eighty years. People called her mad and said other derogatory things but shabri unwavering faith booth Lord Rama to her doer ad also mad him eat plume fiats tasted by her this is the miracle of faith. The real faith is seined in him following by Tyulsidasji.

“I rely only on the one I am strong by the strength o that one all my hope are centered on that one and I trust on alone.’

Parkland’s faith mad lords Narasimha appear form the iron polar. Again it was faith that brought the Lord before Dhruva when he was just five years old. Once samara Ramdas mother told her younger child Pam Ramdas,”Dear son Look at Hanuman with a fixed gaze and faithfully do japa of his name them Humanoid will appear before him. Shiva had a great faith in his Dammar, in his Guru he was also highly firth in his.Shivaji had a great faith in his Dharma, in his Geri. He was also highly faithful towards his subjects

When I go for a walk n the morning, I find poor people lying on the road for they can’t afford even small The sight of mothers of ands lying on he road side weigh their young ones gives at the great pain. The unscrupulous people at the helm of affairs have sucked the blood out of people and have amassed billons of ropes in the Swiss bank. What a great achievement it would be if the Government should courage and brigs this monkey back to here country. Not only will lit make India debt free, the money can be use also for housing and other necessities of ht poor.

Pandharpur is a famous centre of pilgrimage. Each year millions of people go there chanting devotional songs n the way, for the dasham of Lord Vitthala. Some people were gong from karat to participate in the fair at pandharpur. As she saw the pilgrims, a desire arose insakhubai’s heart to go to pndharpur of Lord Vitthala’s dirham. She knew her parent’s in-law would never agree jot such proposal and it was futile to seek their permission. Therefore, she left the pitcher she was carrying there it and joined the pilgrims. ‘He neighbor who had come to fetch water her, went home and reported the incident to he remote ran law who incited he runs anger and sent him after. He dragged her home beating her severely on the way and locked her up in a room. The rip of father, mother radn son decided to keep skhubni locked up without food till the fairy at pandharpur ended. Did Sakhubai complain to the Lard, “O Lord what have you done to me a staunch devotee of yours? Her faith in the Lord remained unbroken. Even when she was lying locked up in a cell, she said, “Vitthala, my Lord what should I don’t know the method of worship nor do I know to purse devotion. I only know that own there is nobody to call my own other than you. O Lord I am Yours and only Your.

When on e becomes calm after praying the Antaryamin Lord comesinto play. The Lord is omnipotent. He cam ether assuming the from of a lady and asked her, “Won’t you go to pan darer? Sakhubai said, I am very keen to go but here I am tied with ropes. The Lord unties date knots and told her to rush to pandharpur forthwith.

Thus the Lord sent sakhbai to pandharpur and Himself remained tied and locked up assuming Skhubi’s from. Sakhubai arrived at panddharpur while he Lord remained locked up in that room. This is the miracle of truce faith.

When the orchid kept Himself locked up in Sakhubai form’s Scuba’s parts in law and her husband would come three four time everyday rebuke her. But the regular darshan of the Lord soon aroused the positives traits of their hearts. They felt repentant and by releasing shkhubai apologies to her. A tyrant inflicts atrocities on other but experiences a change of eat when he comes in contact with a man faith.

The Lord started doing all the chores Sakhubia dosed to do cooking food offering it the deity and serving her in laws. Sichuan’s husband and in laws were very; pleased. They thought we have done rat foam by infliction g so much torture on succubae.

When the fait came to an end at pandharpur, Sakhubai thought, If I go home now my family people will beat the hell mow my family people will beat the hell out me. She never that Lord had bound Himself for her sake. She thought it was better to die at Pndharpur than to bear the torure of him rin lawa. She took a vow; I will not go home in this body with these thoughts it was better to die at pandharpur than to bear the torture of her in laws. She took a own, I will not go home in this body with these thoughts sakhubai got engrosses in meditation and departed this life. Incidentally a Barahim who hailed from Kiwal a village mar Karad was passing through that place. He recognized Shakhubai and performed her last rites.

So Sakhubai was dead but the Lord had been acting Sakhubail at her hone. When a long time passed this way, Goddess Rumania was worried. She went to the cremation ground, collected Sakhubai’s ashes ad using her power infused life into Sakhaubai. It was no big thing for the supreme Creative primordial power of the unversed.

Rukminiji said to sakhubai, you had take a vow has not to go home in that body. The body has already been commending by the free. I have given you this new body. You must microcode for your home now.

Obeying the unknown goddess,Sakhubai arrived at Karad. There the Lord came to the river to fetch water ad seeing Sakhubai said, “Sister” You have came after a long time. Now take this pitcher and take care of your duties; I am going.” And the Lord disappeared instantly

You cannot gauge the miraculous power of faith, The devotes, who by reading jot listening to this real story, become steadfast in their faith will becomes accomplished in deviation; those strengthening there faith in Knowledge will become accomplished in Knowledge. Those engaged in rendering service with a firm faith will become successful in their respective friends. This sooty is blessed. Whatever be the objects of faith of different people, it invariably leada on ETO the supreme benediction.

This Atman has the power to manifest itself in various forms. It manifests itself variously in dreams anyway. Even in the waking state it adores so by virtue of faith.

The Real Pilgrim Centers

“But those men of virtuous deeds whose sins have come to an end come to an end, and who are freed from the delusion of the pairs of opposites, worship Me, steadfast in their wows.”

The Lord says: These men whose sins have come to and end ready to fructify the freed from thedulsuion of the pairs of opposites and steadfast in there vows worship Me.” That is they get engaged in satang and sedan and sedan to attain God realization.

The petty minded people other them the omens described above the Lord equates them to insects. The animals and dissects act sleep, procreates a die. Those who don’t know how to utilize this precious human life the Lord has deprecated them and called them insects. The are insects beige deluded by ‘Lord has said, they are dim witted, unfortunate and are troublemakers. They slander and speak ill of others and dare in the habit of creating the typically corrupted Kailua man.

“They are dim witted unfortunate ad are troublemakers. They not only create trouble for themselves, but also machinates and spread rumors against others there by pushing them into the infer no of troubles galore.

When the saints are living such people vilify them. Like they r a smear campaign against Guru Nanak saying, “Nanak’s teachings are perverse. Wretched people go to the extent of even incarcerating Guru Nanak. And they trumpet it as their greatness clearing to be superior to Guru Nanak. Barbra put Guru Nanak behind bars such disgraceful treatment was meted out to the great Guru Nanak; headed people fail to benefit form saints inhere life time; ad find fault’s with them instead.

When then Guru’s are alive such people insult them spread all king of rumors and malign then which deprives the society of the real befits that can be had form the physical presence of the God realized saints. If you go o tee temple and bow before God’s idol, it does not scold you either. You get benefited only in terms of the religious merits earner so account of the faith in your heart. Kabeljou pounded the eyes of the society to this fact by saying.

“While a dip in the only waters endows one with a single merit, the fruits of associating with a saint are four fold; but the fruits of meeting the sat guru are simply infinite so says Kabir.

If you take a sip in holy waters you get one benefit that of a little religious merit. If you meet a saint you get four fold befit righteousness, Wealth positives desist and liberation. Butyric you have faith in and decoction towards the saint, and if the saint is your sat guru you will develop affinity for Him. If you hav affinity for latté Guru, the Guru too has affinity for his disciples. It in the same as it is in the case of a mother. The mother has affinity for her child for there fore she feeds the child on the very essence of all she eats in the course of the day. A cow has affinity fro her calf... She hears the heat; cold wind of storm land mistreatments in the course other day’s wandering. But the milk that is produced in her dobby, she readily gives it to the calf, who simply has to drink it with relish. The disciples are even better placed ha the calf. The calf in any case has to get to he cow keeps standing. But the disciples don’t ever stand up they make no efforts they just keep suiting and the cow the set guru instills into their ears and there by fills their hearts with the meter of His saving e experience attained through tremendous feats made over a number by births ands strengthened constantly by continued sedan Samadhi and meditation.

“While a dip in the only water endows one with a single merit the frets of associating with a saint are four foods but the fruits of meting the sat guru are simply infinites so infant, so say Kabir.

The which has no end is called infinite. All the benefits in the words come to an end and cause sufferings. But the benefit a true disciple gets for m the sat Guru INS infinite. It can never come to and even death cannot finish it.

Single Minded Faith

Once there was a highly accomplished saint. When someone approached him for dish. he would take the visitor to his field and draw his attention to number of shallow dry wells dug up in the adjacent field belonging to peasant. The peasant had excavated not just one or two wells but seven in all and was engaged in digging.
