"JYON TIL MAHIN TEL HAI,

JYON CHAKMAK MEIN AAG.

TERA SAIN TUJHMEIN HAI,

JAG SAKE TO JAG."

As oil is within sesame seed and fire is within flint, similarly your Lord is within you, so, awake if you can.

" SIYA RAM MAI SAB JAG JANI.

KARAUN PRANAM JORI JUG PANI."

Sita and Rama permeated the entire creation, so I offer my obeisance to all with folded hands.

"PRATHAMO SALIGRAM HAIN, DOOJO PARAS RAM.

TEEJO RAJA RAM HAIN, CHOTHE ATMA RAM.

RAME NIRANTAR ATMA, SAB GHAT ATHON YAM.

WAHI TE SANTAN DHARO, RAM TAHI KO NAM."

The first is the 'saligram', which is a heavy round stone found in the river Gandok in Nepal. It is also called 'kosal' and its scientific name is 'emonite'. The second is 'Parsurama', a character in the Ramayana. The third is King Rama, son of King Dashrath. The fourth is 'Atmaram', the soul or Spirit. The fourth Rama, 'Atmaram' or soul is omnipresent as it exists in every speck of matter. It is present also within everyone's heart. That is why the saints called it "Ram".

"CHAR RAM HAIN JAGAT MEIN, TEEN RAM VYAVAHAR.

EK RAM TATWA SAR HAI, TIN KA KARO VICHAR."

There are four 'Ramas' in this world. three are related to this world. But the fourth is not worldly, rather He is eternal, the essence of this creation, and we should think about this.

"MRIG NABHI KUNDAL BASE.
MRIG DHOONDHE VAN MAHIN.
AISE GHAT GHAT BRAHAM HAI.
DUNIYA JANAT NAHIN."

There is musk in the navel of a musk deer but he searches for the fragrance outside in the forest. Likewise, God resides within the hearts of everyone but the world does not know this.

"APUN KO APUN HI MEIN PAYO.
SHABDA HI SHABDA BHAYO UJIYARO,
SATGURU BHED BATAYO.
APUN KO APUN HI MEIN PAYO."

I found my Self within my self. By remembering the Holy Name, it became all light within. The Master revealed the secret.

Knowledge

"The knowledge of God is the purest thing on earth. By receiving that Knowledge, by coming in contact with the Knowledge we can also become pure. 'People say, 'Meditate on God.' How can you meditate on God without knowing God? First have Knowledge of God.

Apara & Para Vidya

Man is essentially spirit, or in other words, consciousness. To know consciousness, to experience it and to realize it is the path of spiritual knowledge. Knowledge has two aspects- material and spiritual. In the material domain it is called 'Apara Vidya' and pertains to all physical and social sciences. In the spiritual domain it is called 'Para Vidya' and pertains to self-realization, the experience of the soul. Science of soul itself implies the science of universal life. The science of the spirit is a sovereign science, a sovereign secret, imperishable, supremely holy, most excellent, directly enjoyable, full of virtues and very easy to practise. It is itself both the means and the end - the immediate and the ultimate. It is all comprehensive and all-inclusive, and knowing it means nothing remains to be known. It is the saturation of the self, the merging of the individual self with the Cosmic Self. It cannot be achieved through senses, mind or intellect. It is experienced by the self through the self by the grace of the realized Master. Knowledge is the means, and Knowledge also is the destination. In Divine Knowledge there must be no duality. It is just one point.

Toxic Thoughts

Just knowing that you can choose less toxic thoughts is an important insight. Many people have never had this insight. Consequently, they spend their entire lives defending the position that their thoughts are unchangeable. You, on your sacred path, know better. You know that who you are is something grander than the thoughts you think and more divine than the body where the thoughts occur. Your thoughts and behaviours are habits. The ways that you have allowed your inner world to work are habits resulting from your experience of your life, including the beliefs that you’ve received from all the well meaning people who taught you about life. To purify your thinking and make your mind work exactly as you want it to be willing to examine these habits of thought. Then you will begin the purifying process and see the opening to your sacred self.
