“Sansar Samundey
Taar Gobindey”
Believe that adoration of the Supreme Spirit has commenced when,
even while one is leading the life of a householder,
there are signs of weariness and tears, and sentiment so powerful
that
it chokes the throat.
Manifold strands are entwined in love: of dharm, precept, restraint, pious association, and sentiment.
Sincere prayer to God helps only
while traversing upon
the
“Path of Self Realization”

All beings are dominated by their governing property
and act under its compulsion.
The sage who is blessed with perception
also
makes his efforts in accordance with his nature.
Ordinary men abide in their actions
and the wise in their Self.
Everyone acts according to the inescapable demands of his nature.
This is a self-evident and incontrovertible truth.
Deluded men,
drunk with attachment and lacking in discrimination,
who do not wage war in a state of meditation
in which there is complete self-surrender
as well as
freedom from desire,
self-interest,
and grief,
are deprived of the ultimate bliss.

Awareness to explore the true awareness is a basic requirement

Sings Sri Krishna in Bhagavad Gita:
त्रैविद्या मां सोमपाः पूतपापा
यज्ञैरिष्ट्वा स्वर्गतिं प्रार्थयन्ते।
ते पुण्यमासाद्य सुरेन्द्रलोकं
अश्नन्ति दिव्यान्दिवि देवभोगान्॥
traividyā mām somapāh pūtapāpā
yajñairistvā svargatim prārthayante
te punyamāsādya surendralokam
aśnanti divyāndivi devabhogān
“Men who do pious deeds enjoined by the three Ved, who have tasted nectar and
freed themselves from sin, and who wish for heavenly existence
through worshiping me by yagya, go to heaven
and
enjoy godly pleasures as a reward for their virtuous acts.”
Although they practise all the three parts of worship-
prayer (Rig), equal conduct (Sam), and union (Yajur),
partake of the dim light of the moon (Rayi, the form-giving substance),
rid themselves of sin, and worship God by the prescribed mode of yagya,
such men pray for the attainment of heaven because of which they are rewarded
with mortality and have to be reborn.
They worship him and also adopt the appointed mode,
but they beseech for heavenly joys in return.
So rewarded for their piety they go to the abode of Indr
and
enjoy the celestial pleasures.God is thus also the provider of these pleasures.
And further:
ते तं भुक्त्वा स्वर्गलोकं विशालं
क्षीणे पुण्ये मर्त्यलोकं विशन्ति।
एवं त्रयीधर्ममनुप्रपन्ना
गतागतं कामकामा लभन्ते॥
te tam bhuktvā svargalokam viśālam
ksīne punye martyalokam viśanti
evam trayīdharmamanuprapannā
gatāgatam kāmakāmā labhante
“With the gradual wearing out of the merits of their piety,
they go back to the mortal world after enjoying the pleasures of great heaven
and
it is thus that they who seek refuge in the desire-oriented action prescribed by
the three Ved and covet joy
are condemned to repeated death and birth.”
The yagya they perform as well as its threefold means, prayer, evenness of mind,
and
dedication that unites, is the same, and they also seek refuge in God,
but they have to undergo rebirth because of their desires.
So it is of the utmost importance that desire is thoroughly subdued.

IT is the mercy of my true Guru
that has made me to know the unknown;
I have learned from Him how to walk without feet,
to see without eyes, to hear without ears,
to drink without mouth, to fly without wings;
I have brought my love and my meditation into the land
where there is no sun and moon, nor day and night.
Without eating,
I have tasted of the sweetness of nectar;
and without water,
I have quenched my thirst.
Where there is the response of delight,
there is the fullness of joy.
Before whom can that joy be uttered?
Kabîr says: “The Guru is great beyond words,
and
great is the good fortune of the disciple.”
-Kabir-
Attainment of the Self is distinct from attainment of a body.
“Guru” is birthless, hidden, and eternal, and yet is born with a human body.
Therefore, they who preach that death of the physical body
brings liberation offer,
but,
a false consolation.
And any false consolation
never helps in traversing upon
the
“Path of Self Realization”
Humble Wishes!!!!
That Soul which has resolved his doubts
is
in the state of perfect absorption of thought in the Supreme Spirit,
the one worthy
object of meditation.
One who has achieved even- minded discrimination
by
identification with the eternal essence,
…………………………
which has neither
a beginning nor an end,
is said to be
in the state of
abstract contemplation of the nature of the Supreme Spirit
and
may lead seekers as a real Guru…..!!!
“A teacher should teach by example rather than precept.’’
When the God we crave for-the accomplished sage-abides in the Soul
and
begins to instruct seeker, only then does real worship begin.
Here God and accomplished sage- teacher, as prompters, are synonymous.
If God descends into heart at the level at which we stand, begins to check and guide, and
support in case the worshiper stumbles-only then is the mind fully restrained.
Unless God stands by as a charioteer, close to the Soul as a prompter,
there cannot be an adequate initiation to his path.
Before this the adorer is on trial; he has not yet achieved the state of true worship.

Self-realization should be goal of human existence.
It has to be reached through three stages:
Self-confidence,
self-satisfaction
and
self-sacrifice.
Man should regard himself as master of the body,
the senses and the mind.
The flame of constant integrated awareness
which is in everyone
is covered by the ash of worldly desires.
When the ash is blown off,
the fire of Absolute Divinity reveals itself in all its glory.
