Seed of Knowledge

Guru Maharaj Ji has planted the seed of Knowledge in your heart, so now you have to make it bloom through service, satsang and meditation. You know that a farmer doesn't sow seed in barren ground. First of all he prepares the field by ploughing it and then he removes all the rocks, stones and tree roots before he sows the seed. After sowing he doesn't neglect the seed, either. He irrigates it and fertilizes it when necessary. In the same way, our heart is the field in which the Master sows the seed of Knowledge. But sowing the seed is not all there is to it. Service, satsang, meditation and darshan are also vital. Unless it receives the rain of satsang regularly and unless it is fertilized by doing service, your seed with wither. But if the disciple comes regularly to satsang, comes to see Guru Maharaj Ji and follows his guidance, in him the seed of Knowledge blossoms and bears fruit. We are so lucky in this day and age to have found the enlightened Master and we can be with him and listen to his teachings. This is our great good fortune.
