The Importance of Service

              Once there were two disciples. Both were pure of heart and devoted to their Master. They used to assist him in caring for the sick members of their ashram. They also meditated regularly in morning and evening.

              One evening, a sick person needing urgent attention came to the Ashram. The Master sent a disciple to call other disciples who were doing evening prayer. Those disciples sent a message through the disciple who had come to call them: "Let us do remembrance of Holy Name and mediation for some more time. We will come as soon as the time for meditation is over." The Master read their message and sent the same disciple again to call them. This time both disciples came to the service of the Master, but they expressed their displeasure at being interrupted. The master said, " I called you to serve a very sick person needing urgent attention because service is more important than prayer at times depending on the urgency of the situation."

              Both the disciples felt very ashamed and their displeasure due to misconception was wiped out.

              So, we should also please the Master by serving according to his directions to make our life successful.

SAKAL SUKRITI PHAL NAM SANEHU."
Vedas, Puranas and saints all agree that one should know and remember the Holy Name of God because it is the fruit of all pious deeds.

"KABIR DARSHAN SADHU KA, SAHIB AWEN YAD,
LEKHE ME SOI GHARI, BAKI DIN KE BAD."
Only that life which is spent remembering God is meaningful. Seeing saints makes one remember God. The time spent listening to satsang and remembering God is what counts because all other time stands wasted.

How will I get the same bliss and pleasure in heaven which I enjoy here in the company of the holy?

This human body is destructible and this world also is destructible but this destructible body, taking support of the destructible world, wants to protect itself from death. This is similar to a drowning man taking support from a crocodile. So, one should take support of the indestructible and eternal Almighty and not the destructible world.

Initiation by the Master is the most secret science. The Master kindles the flame of Spiritual Power methodically within the heart of a disciple, by meditation upon which mighty brilliant divine light is manifested within the heart of the disciple and all secrets of divine vision go on revealing. Initiation by the Master is the most essential Mantra for propitiating God and all Knowledges.

If a disciple goes outside the commands of the Master and does a lot of remembrance of Holy Name and meditation, he cannot succeed because the basis of Self development is obeying the commands of the Spiritual Master.

Love all God's creation, the whole and every grain of sand in it. Love every leaf, every ray of God's light. Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better everyday, and you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love.

Love knows no bargain, no reward; love is always for love's sake. Ask not anything in return for your love, let your position be always that of the fiver, give your love unto God, but do not ask anything in return even from Him. Love knows no fee and no rival.

As mind is within, similarly the means to concentrate and focus the mind on the true and Holy Name of God and Divine Light is also within everyone. But this Knowledge can not be had without the divine eye and the divine eye is got from the saints and the Spiritual Master alone. To hook the mind to God is meditation.

Do you know how the spirit is influenced by pleasure and pain? When iron is burned in fire it appears like fire, and in the same way, when the spirit is reflected through intellect, we feel that it is influenced by pleasure and pain. But in reality, Spirit is invariable and dispassionate.

When the U.S. and its allied forces attacked Iraq there were a lot of demonstrations in every part of the world against the invasion, as nobody wants war. These avoidable conflicts aim to do away with human beings. But we have to tolerate all this because we haven’t made sincere eliorts during peacetime to avoid the possibility of war. We never propagate the importance and necessity of overall peace in society, If we have positive thoughts and inspire others to pursue the same then the calmness in society and mental and spiritual elevation is evident. On the other hand, an indifferent attitude towards such positive values gives rise to unrest in society. But the paramount question remaining to be answered is who will inspire people to pursue such positive thoughts. The answer to this can be revealed in following the lifestyle and teachings of the Great Ones who descended on earth from time to time. Lord Buddha ii, his time inspired others to pursue positive values and renounce violence, hatred and intimidation. His teachings have been lauded everywhere and adopted by a considerable chunk of the world’s population. Likewise, Shri Satpalji Maharaj, following in the footsteps of Lord Buddha in the true sense Is, through satsang, helping society by helping individuals to attain inner peace by realization of one’s own soul through Holy Name. When we have peace within us, there will be peace in society, resulting in peace In the nation and the world as a whole.

Religion

Whenever we attend religious congregations, recitations or any similar cvcrit we tend to be in high spirits and feel inspired for a while, hut with the passage of time, thc short-felt feelings of dedication, service to mankind and surrender to Almighty God lend to vanish. We fall back again Into the old state of selfishness, pursuing worldly pleasures, prey to egoism and the unstable mind. Had this negativity not been there, this earth would have been heaven for all of us. Generally people interpret the meaning of religion in their own ways suiting their needs, circumstances and aspirations.

As dirty clothes are not cleaned by washing them with mud, so the effect of dirty actions is not cleansed by doing various worldly actions. The mind and heart is purified by devotion after acquiring Spiritual Knowledge of desire-less and selfless actions.

Today we are talking about universal truth which is one and the same for all, which does not make a person narrow minded rather frees him by breaking all barriers and narrow outlook. It is said, " Bhakti swatantra sakal sukh khani. Binu satsang na pawahin prani." Devotion is independent and it contains all pleasures and happiness but is not attainable without satsang. The prejudice which makes us narrow-minded which entraps us, cannot make us free, it cannot redeem us.

We have all been made by God. You may call Him by any name. There is one sun in the sky. So many names in different languages have been given to it but there are not multiple suns, nor does it shine for any specific caste, or for specific community or for a particular country. It gives energy to all human beings, animals, birds, trees and the entire creation; it gives light to all.

When grace rains down through satsang, there is rejuvenation. Our deficiencies due to ignorance and worldly desires are wiped out and we gain merits of purity and goodness. The basis of satsang is:
"Jat pat poochhe nahin koi,
hari ko bhaje so hari ka hoi."
"Do not bother about caste and creed. Those who remember God belong to Him."

You all must have heard of the Ramayana. In it St Tulsi Das says, 'Raka pati sodas ugahi tara gan samudaya sakal girinah dib laiye bin rabi ren na jaye' - "Even if the full moon and all the stars were shining together in the sky and all the jungles on earth were set on fire, the darkness of night would not yield except to sunrise". When the sun rises, darkness vanishes and the light from other sources pales in comparison. In a similar way, when one receives Knowledge from Satguru, japa (chanting), tapa (austerities), puja (prayer rituals), patha (reading scriptures), yagya (fire ceremonies), and havan lose their importance for him. The Satguru gives the knowledge of Divine Light. Apart from Divine Light, which can be experienced by human beings only, light from all other sources can be seen by the entire animal kingdom as well. Only human beings can see the Divine Light. But Mandleshwars, Mahamandleshwars and Jagatgurus are not aware of this Divine Light. They teach that we should recite mantras, perform rituals and go on pilgrimage. Let me tell you, all this serves no purpose unless and until we experience the Divine Light in our hearts. We are, as a rule, advised to remember God using different names. But I ask whether your mind can be controlled by reciting these names? Realization of the true name of God is necessary for concentration of mind. Unless and until we realize true Knowledge or see Divine Light in our hearts, the rigmarole of reciting mantras, reading scriptures and going on pilgrimage is absolutely futile.

Wake Up


This is the time to wake up. "With closed fists you came into the world. With outstretched hands you will leave." Therefore you must ask for the Knowledge. He who asks, finds. He who searches will definitely receive. What is the condition of people today? Everyone says he has to go, but where will you go if you don't know your destination? So go to the saints and get peace there. There is no doubt that you will find peace there. If you don't find the way to peace within yourself, then where will you find it? Today man is thirsty and is crying, "Quench my thirst!" Until you get water you cannot quench your thirst. Therefore, understand this Knowledge and quench the thirst of your soul.

Realized Souls


Guru Nanak says, "Satguru gave me the salve of Knowledge to obliterate the darkness of ignorance. By the grace of God, I have met the saint and my mind was enlightened." You must find that same salve of Knowledge so that you can destroy the demon of ignorance and darkness which has enslaved everyone. That must be done. Where can it be obtained? It can be found in the company of the realized souls and saints of the time.

The Mahabharata war resulted from the insult to Draupadi, whose clothes were torn from her. How many ladies, like Draupadi, are being insulted like that every day! How many Draupadis are being harrassed every day! But see, Draupadi remembered God, and said, "Lord, you have saved my honour." A time is coming similar to the time when even such virtuous ladies as Sita and Savitri were tested. You too will not be bypassed. Man's mind is becoming so turbulent that people are becoming more afraid. People want to cut each other's throats. They say, "Oh, if we die, what does it matter? Death will free us from suffering." That has become the mentality of mankind. What is the reason? There is a path of peace but people don't have the time or interest for it.

When you wake up in the morning, upon what do you concentrate? Is it a person's duty to eat food at night, and take breakfast in the morning and that's it? The human body is a very great thing. Gods beg for it, saying, "We want to obtain the human body so that we can progress. We also want to change." Human beings are very powerful. What is our duty? To eat, drink and be merry? Animals also do that. Therefore, where can we learn how to meditate? It can be obtained through the saints, but what should we concentrate upon? Unless we have the object of meditation, we won't be able to concentrate. Unless you find the Lord who is the object of worship, how will you have single-pointed devotion? The condition of man today is like that of an unmarried girl who is asked to concentrate upon her husband. How will she do that if she doesn't yet know who her husband is? So our condition is one of bewilderment.

When Ramakrishna Paramhansa was alive, people didn't let him live in peace, and today huge monasteries are built in his name. Today huge temples have been built to Mother Sarada, who guided such a man as Vivekananda. I went to Cape Cormorin and saw the huge statues of Mother Sarada and Vivekananda which have been built there in the sea. I said, "O God! When realized souls come, man doesn't recognize them, and now he consoles himself with stone statues." But contentment of the soul cannot happen like that. Satisfaction of the soul can only occur when you know the spiritual master. Lord Krishna said to Arjuna, "Go to the realized souls, prostrate to them, and with a guileless heart ask them for the Knowledge. When they are pleased with your service they will give you Knowledge."

Realized souls have kicked aside all the wealth of the world. King Ashok killed so many women's husbands, and the women themselves were preparing to fight the king. Ashok said, "No, I won't fight you women. I won't take up weapons against women." The king then thought, `Alas, what have I done! I have wiped out so many people. If I would save rather than kill, what a noble reputation I would have.' After that he met a Buddhist monk, and through the Buddhist monk his mind was completely changed. That same king who slaughtered thousands of people said, "I take the shelter of Buddha." The way to unify society and realize of peace really is with the great souls, but mankind doesn't know it. You should know what that essence is, that thread of love by which all are tied. In the company of saints such a technique exists.

Who sustained us when we were in our mother's womb? Think about that! When a child is born, the head of the family says, `Alas, family problems are upon me.' But who protected us when we were in our mother's womb? Keep in mind that if we were protected there, why won't we be protected in the outside world? We will also be protected after birth. After coming into this world we get milk from our mother's breast, and as we grow the Creator provides sugar cane and fruits, and so many other things for us to eat. But then there is pride, and man becomes intoxicated through pride. Really, what is life? It is said, "With closed fists you came into the world, with outstretched hands you will leave it."

You see, your household runs even in your absence. No matter which day death comes, on that day work will also be going on, and it will continue whether you exist or not. The motivating energy continues to operate. Man is making a multitude of useless burdens for himself, and even while saying. `This is mine, this is mine,' he leaves the world.
