Guru Maharaj Ji is today spreading this Spiritual Knowledge from place to place, from house to house, day and night. For whom is he working so hard? Simply for our salvation. He is propagating Spiritual Knowledge day and night for the well-being of mankind. As his obedient disciples it is our duty to obey him.
We go to doctors. A doctor prescribes medicines and also prescribes some dietary restrictions in order to cure the disease. The doctor says, “Look, the problem lies in your stomach. Do not eat rich food, give up rice. Do not eat fried things and sweets.” If a person is diabetic but eats sweets, what will happen? His pathology tests will indicate a high sugar content. If the patient complains that the doctor did not treat him well then whose mistake is this? Definitely the doctor is not at fault in this case. Likewise when we are initiated, we are instructed to curb our worldly indulgence. The first instruction is to do meditation regularly every morning. So tell me how long do you sit in meditation since taking initiation?
You have time to watch TV during the day-time, you have time to see cricket matches, you have time to do all kinds of things, but do you find time to do meditation? No! Whenever you think of sitting for meditation, so many pending things come in your mind and you postpone meditation until the next day. It means that we do not do what we have been instructed to do by the Master. Even though we have taken spiritual initiation, we do not refrain from illusory things. We will not be able to reach the goal this way. What's more, we complain that the Master's grace is not with us. In fact the Master has graced us so much that we didn't have to go far from home to get Knowledge in the first place.
In the olden days, people used to do so much penance to get this Knowledge. They used to go on pilgrimage to all four sacred places, whereas we are so lucky that the Master himself comes right to our cities, his mahatmas come right to our door. This shows the extent of his grace.
Unless we do meditation and remember Holy Name, our mind will keep on wavering and we will not be redeemed from the cycle of birth and death. If we want to eradicate this malady, we will have to give up ego and pride, because this takes us to hell and devours our devotion. So it is essential to understand satsang and implement it in our life. Guru Maharaj Ji, by his grace, has sown the seed of Spiritual Knowledge within our hearts. If we do not let it grow by doing meditation, then it will remain in the seed state. So we have to grow the seed of Spiritual Knowledge within our hearts by watering it with the rain of satsang and remembrance of the Holy Name.
