On this tree is a bird: it dances in the joy of life…..!!!

ON this tree is a bird: it dances in the joy of life.
None knows where it is: and who knows what the burden of its music may be?

Where the branches throw a deep shade,
there does it have its nest: and it comes in the evening
and
flies away in the morning,
and
says not a word of that
which it means.

None tell me of this bird that sings within me.
It is neither coloured nor colourless: it has neither form nor outline:
It sits in the shadow of love.
It dwells within the Unattainable,
the Infinite,
and
the Eternal;
and
no one marks when it comes and goes.

Kabîr says: “O brother Sadhu! deep is the mystery.
Let wise men seek to know
where rests that bird.”

The disciple chooses the manifold fruits of life and tastes them, and the Guru beholds him in joy…!!!

“THERE is a strange tree,
which stands without roots
and
bears fruits without blossoming;
It has no branches and no leaves,
it is lotus all over.
 
Two birds sing there;
one is the Guru,
and
the other the disciple:
The disciple chooses the manifold fruits of life
and
tastes them,
and
the Guru beholds him in joy”

To find stability in humility is not so easy…..!!!

To find stability in humility is not so easy.

The man who is blessed
with the final outcome of selfless action
and
who dwells in God-the root of all beings,
and
who has forsaken desire
for the fruits of action
because
the God who was the goal of his action is no longer

distant from him,
achieves the state of sublime peace
beyond which
there is no greater peace

and
beyond which
he will never again know restlessness.

Stability in humility is here.

But the wayfarer,
who is still on his way and attached
(he has to be attached because the “fruit” of his action,
God, is still unattained)

to the consequence of his action, is fettered by it.

So desires continue to arise until the moment of attainment,
and
the worshiper has to be on his/her guard right till this point
to
maintain all the attributes of humility.

So the wise man freed from individuality goes to rest and cannot be defined….!!!

“As a flower blown out by the wind
goes to rest and cannot be defined
so the wise man freed from individuality
goes to rest and cannot be defined.
gone beyond all images-
gone beyond the power of words “

~ Sutra Nipata~

Bow down to your lotus feet,
O Most Revered Gurudeo.

O Sadhu! practice that Word….!!!

Receive that Word from which the Universe springeth!
That word is the Guru;
I have heard it,
and
become the disciple.
How many are there who know the meaning of that word?
O Sadhu! practice that Word!
~Revered Sage Kabir~

And says Revered Gurudev :
OM is symbol of the Supreme Spirit, among words.
Jap Yagya is the Image of that special form of worship
that
enables a worshiper to be united with God.

Therefore, it is remembrance of the Supreme Spirit
and
recitation of his name.
When after having crossed the stages of two kinds of speech,
the audible and the muttered,
the name reaches the stage of yagya,
it is then recited
by
neither articulated speech
nor
from the throat;
nor
even in thought;
it then infuses every breath.

There is then only a surging ahead unceasingly
with the vision of mind in God
engraved on every breath.
