Santmat

Man is the pinnacle of creation. The Name and Form of God can be known only by human beings and meditation upon Him alone makes salvation possible.

"MALA TO KAR MEIN PHIRE, MAN DHAWE CHAHUN OR.

JEHI PHERE HARI MILE, SO MALA KOI AUR."

People count beads on a rosary with their fingers but the mind roams all around. The rosary which is used to meet God is something else.

"SUMIRAN SURATI LAGAY KE, MUKH TE KACHHU NA BOL.

BAHAR KE PAT DEY KE, ANTAR KE PAT KHOL."

Remember the Holy Name by attaching your mind to it; don't speak a word. Close the external door and open the internal door.

"SUMIRAN KI SUDH YON KARO, JYON GAGAR PANIHAR.

HALE DOLE SURATI MEIN, KAHAT KABIR VICHAR.

SUMIRAN KI SUDH YON KARO, JAISE DAM KANGAL.

EK PALAK BISARE NAHIN, PAL PAL LAIT SAMBHAL."

Village women carry water in pitchers on their heads, one on top of the other, while walking and talking with other such ladies. They don't hold on to those pitchers with their hands, but the pitchers do not fall. They balance those pitchers through concentration. We should be as adept at constantly remembering the Holy Name as a pauper thinks about money. He doesn't forget it even for a moment. He keeps his money safely and every now and then counts it to check whether it is intact. Similarly, one should remember God without forgetting about Him even for a moment.

"KABIR SANGAT SADHU KI, SAHIB AWE YAD.

LEKHE MEIN SOI GHARI, BAKI DIN GAYE BARBAD."

When we are in the company of a saint, we automatically remember God. So, time spent in the company of a saint alone is worthwhile. The rest is wasted.

Shri Hans Ji Maharaj

There are many names for that Omnipresent power, but in reality it is one. It is beyound argument. He cannot be bound by different languages because He is beyond speech. He can be realized only by vibrating the self in the exclusive continuous devotional current of Cosmic Vibration.

"ACHARAJ DEKHA BHARI SADHO, ACHARAJ DEKHA BHARI RE.

BINA BAJAYE NISHIDIN BAJE, GHANTA SHANKH NAGARI RE."

I have experienced a wonderful thing! I hear the sound of a bell, a conch shell and a kettledrum day and night, but no instruments are being played.

"BARA HUA TO KYA HUA, JAISE PERH KHAJOOR.

PANCHHI KO CHHAYA NAHIN, PHAL LAGE ATI DOOR."

What is the use of becoming as tall as a date palm? Its fruits is far away and it does not even give shade to birds.

"JO JHUKTE HAIN, UN MEIN JAN HOTI HAI.

AKARE RAHNA TO MURDE KI PAHCHAN HOTI HAI."

Only those who are alive can bend. Rigidity is the sign of a corpse.
