I like that relative who prevents me from going into evil ways, and guides me into the righteous path; He is wise who remains on the righteous path; he makes others search, and never forgets himself; He is a false guru if he does not show the real path to his disciple. If the disciple gets the grace of Satguru then he will worship God. A small amount of success is enough to misguide a man; Seeing his wealth and family he becomes a victim of pride.
Sakhi: The soul departed and the lamp of life went out; the body became ruined; Those who died are already dead; let the living save them selves. Commentary by Dr. Jaggessar Das: In this ramaini Guru Kabir talks about living on the righteous path. This path is shown to a disciple by a true guru. But there are false gurus, who do not truly guide their disciples on a spiritual path. If the disciple is fortunate to have the grace of a true guru, then he will be shown the way to worship God. True worship of God resides in the heart and it is not an external form, as many people in the world practice. A true guru will, himself, remain on the path, and will encourage others to follow in the same path, so he may also gain freedom from the bondage of the world. Just as when a person develops pride by obtaining some material wealth, just so a person can develop pride by having a small amount of spiritual wealth. Such a person cannot obtain liberation from this world. There are many false teachers in the world who pride themselves with their learning. But their learning is shallow when it comes to the knowledge of God. They are full of words but not of realization. Such a teacher cannot guide a disciple into a righteous path and help him to obtain liberation. Guru Kabir emphasizes the point that we should not be concerned about those who have already died. They are gone and cannot be of any help to us who are living. Each one of us has to travel on the path of righteousness and try to obtain liberation for ourselves. We should try to find such a spiritual teacher who has the light of spiritual wisdom shining in him. We should be able to take spiritual light from him and become enlightened ourselves. ////////
The Month of Vaisakhi (April--May) Lovely is the month of Vaisakhi, When the bough turns green again, And the bride awaits her Beloved, With her eyes ever watching at the door: Come, my Beloved, and show me your kindness, It is Thee alone who can carry me safely across The turbulent waters of life. Without Thee I have As little value as a shell. Who can estimate my worth if I am pleasing to Thee? My love, I see Thee and I make others to see Thee. 0 Lord, to me You are never far away: I believe that Thou art living in me, And I have realized Your presence within. Says Nanak, she who realizes her Lord in Vaisakhi has her soul filled with the meditation of the Name.

From, Peace Lagoon -- Sacred Songs of the Sikhs,
Said Guru Nanak:
The nature of those who have known this rapture is as the One who created them: They suffer no birth or death, nor do they come and go. Through the Guru's grace, their minds receive instruction and the Imperishable Lord is obtained.
One should close the nine gates, and arriving at the tenth [Third Eye Center], find fulfillment. Then will the mind resound with the Eternal Music of bliss. Then one knows the Presence of the Lord, and he merges in Him. The True One fills every heart. He to whom the Word becomes manifest, the True Lord is revealed unto him.
In the instant of meeting Him, one finds eternal bliss; And sleeping no more, one is always awake to the Lord. Then one lives in the Infinity of God through silent contemplation. And speaking His Name, one is liberated and by his instruction liberates others.
Those who act on the Guru's instructions are blessed with the True Name. Having dispelled all selfishness, they have been granted union with God and are never alone.

[Following is an English rendering of sayings of Baba Devi Sahab of Muradabad, Uttar Pradesh, India as published in Part II of the book (in Hindi) titled "Satsanga Yog" written by Maharshi Mehi Paramhans ji Maharaj, one of the all time greatest exponents of Santmat. Baba Devi Sahab was the Guru of Maharshi Mehi Paramhans ji Maharaj –Translated by Pravesh K. Singh]
From the Preface to 'Ghat Ramayan': ['Ghat Ramayan' is the name of a book popularly believed to have been authored by Sant Tulsi Sahab of Hathras, Uttar Pradesh, India. Baba Devi Sahab got the hand-written manuscript of Sant Tulsi Sahab of Hathras printed at Hathras itself in the year of 1896]
…contd. from the Part – II
Unless the 'jiv' (non-liberated individual soul) reaches into the Fourth Plane having got out of Plane No. 8 (as indicated in the Chart of Inner Planes in Part-II), 'moksha' (liberation) is not possible. Jiv can not get to the swarg (heaven) and Baikunth (the kingdom of Lord Vishnu – creator god in the Hindu mythology) unless it gets to Plane No. 9, because all the things that are, as described in scriptures, ascribed to the Heaven, Baikunth etc. are to be found here only.
Drishti–Saadhan (The Yoga of Light) refers to that meditational practice which is carried out with the help of eyes. Hundreds of ways and methods of practising this (drishti–saadhan) are in vogue in India and other countries, but many of these are such that these make the eyeballs crooked or distorted (squint eyes), while some others lead to the loss of eye sight, and there are yet others which damage the pupils of eyes (causing blurred vision) beyond redemption even if these are treated by hakim (term used for doctors, generally Muslim, practising treatments based on the old Yunani or Greco-Persian System), vaidya (term generally used for Ayurvedic doctors) and doctors (term generally used for modern-age Allopathic doctors) lifelong. The right way to practise drishti–saadhan does not have to do anything with the (gross) eyes and eyeballs, neither does drishti mean "eyes" or "eyeballs", a confusion which leads to losses or difficulties as referred to above.
Drishti means 'sight' or 'vision' which is not made up of flesh and blood. This power to see or sight is a powerful thing which has revealed a lot of hidden disciplines of learning & scientific knowledge to the world; the secrets of the various types of 'siddhi'(supernatural or extrasensory powers) can also be known or obtained by no other means than this. Drishti is the first step or technique of Yog–Vidya (Science of Yoga); the technique of Drishti–Saadhan is so wonderful that it does not cause any discomfort, difficulty or pain to any part of our gross body. By means of this, the practitioner is able to quickly realise the clues or secrets which have been eulogised in heavenly or divine books on God, and then, all the rules & principles governing the world, which can not be attained by merely reading and listening to all the books lifelong, keep standing in humble subservience, attendance or slavery before such a person.
Drishti, however, can reach only up to places or worlds which have "roop" (shape or form – gross or subtle) and can be seen, and from where this cycle of birth & death keeps on taking place. It can not go or take one beyond the"roop-jagat"(planes with or having 'forms' of all sorts), can not go to planes which are beyond roop(shapes, forms & outlines), to realms where moksha can happen. In view of sants, the highest or the loftiest thing is moksha and drishti can not reach there. Therefore, the next technique – that of "shabda–saadhan" (Yoga of Sound) – to reach there (moksha) is taught.
In the "ilm-yog"(skill or teaching of yoga) the highest principle, which enables its practitioner to attain moksha, is that of shabda(sound or word) which is known by several other names. Some of the Mahatmas (great souls, sages, or saints) form and preach their traditions or sects by making this shabd–maarg(the technique of sound) the foundation, while some others teach this, propagate this (shabda-marg) by forming different societies etc. Thus this 'shabda'is the soul of religion as well as science – no religion or sect can do without this principle, no science or discipline of learning can do without its help.
Sayings of Baba Devi Sahab – Part IV
[Following is an English rendering of sayings of Baba Devi Sahab of Muradabad, Uttar Pradesh, India as published in Part II of the book (in Hindi) titled "Satsanga Yog" written by Maharshi Mehi Paramhans ji Maharaj, one of the all time greatest exponents of Santmat. Baba Devi Sahab was the Guru of Maharshi Mehi Paramhans ji Maharaj –Translated by Pravesh K. Singh]
…contd. From Part-III
From the Preface to "Baal Kaa Aadi Aur Uttar Kaa Ant" of Sant Tulsi Sahab:
Sages and sants adopt the straight & simple way of living and preach us to meditate with surat (concentrated or focussed, alert attention); this meditation can be practised in any posture –sitting or reclining, and by anyone whether a follower of Vedic Religion, Islam or Christianity whatever.What is important is not to live a single day in life without practising meditation, all the experiences of pains & pleasures of the world, one has to go through, notwithstanding.
They (these sages & sants) have the briefest or the shortest principle – one which is not found in any of the languages such as Sanskrit, Arabic, Persian, Jewish etc., and which has not seen the light of any printing press, but the one whose copy is found inside all human beings and which is written about in fourteen pages (meaning "found in the fourteen planes of creations" as described earlier in Part –II). Unless and until one practises (meditation) within or inside (oneself), one would not be able to learn even the ABC or the alphabets or to read this (principle).
The common message that all the sants have to give is that whatever – inside or outside – can be seen (comes into sight – gross or subtle), and as far as there is "roop" (form or shape), all is illusory and impermanent; beyond this (roop) is a realm which has never been born and will never die or be destroyed. That alone is truth. It is indestructible. It has no colour, no shape/form, and no particular name; but it is something which can be perceived or understood and, therefore, is entitled to be described or explained with the help of a (symbolic) name. Jiv is a part (inseparable part) of it, because jiv, too, is indestructible. Merging this (jiv) into that (God) is known as internal satsangand where (in the outside world) spiritual people gather together to discuss (this principle) is called external satsang. Those persons who live and practise in accordance with this tradition and principle are called sadhu(sages), and those who have reached or raised themselves into that realm, where the truth alone exists, are called sant (the English word 'saint', though close and the nearest match, is not an exact translation of the Hindi or Sanskrit word 'sant'.
There are only two, not many, means for practice (of meditation) among sants – one is 'drishti' (sight or vision) and the other is 'shabd' (sound or word).
The loftiest or the highest outcome of adopting and following the ways of these (sants) is that it takes one beyond 'aawaagaman' (the repetitive cycles of birth & death)
Sayings of Baba Devi Sahab – Part V
[Following is an English rendering of sayings of Baba Devi Sahab of Muradabad, Uttar Pradesh, India as published in Part II of the book (in Hindi) titled "Satsanga Yog" written by Maharshi Mehi Paramhans ji Maharaj, one of the all time greatest exponents of Santmat. Baba Devi Sahab was the Guru of Maharshi Mehi Paramhans ji Maharaj –Translated by Pravesh K. Singh]
…contd.From Part-IV
From the Preface (written by Baba Devi Sahab) to "Baal Kaa Aadi Aur Uttar Kaa Ant" (Beginning of Baal and the End of Uttar) of Sant Tulsi Sahab:
Glossary:
Page 58-59:- In Santmat the world (creation) is not considered to be without an end or never-ending. As the world was born (created) sometime in the past, it shall have to die (be destroyed) also at some point of time. When doomsday will come, all the realms up to as far as there is 'roop' or 'shakal' (form or shape) will get destroyed. That means such places up to where there exists some 'Lok' (world) or 'Kamal' (lotus) and 'ishwar' (Lord or God) or lord of these lotuses will meet their end or destruction some day.
Page 63: "Animaadik":- This is the divine symbol, mark or sign that is perceived or met with on the way of practicing meditation. It takes a lot of practice to know the inner secrets. It is not possible to practice in a proper way without learning the right technique or trick of the trade and this (learning) may happen in either of two ways, firstly it may very well be achieved with the grace of an accomplished Guru. Secondly, it may come automatically because of the earnings (fruits) of the previous births, and thus he (the practitioner) automatically may inherit the required skills or provisions. But both the categories of persons badly need satsang (noble company or gathering), because it is not possible to understand or perceive those secrets which these people ferret out following rigorous (meditational) practice without the assistance of satsang or Guru.
It is not known yet as to who was that first person who established Guru and the principle of Guru in the world. Had he not laid this rule, neither the Real 'maalik' (Lord or God) would have been found out nor would any proper arrangement (for the same) have been feasible.
There would not have been any sages, prophets, fakirs, incarnations, deities, etc. Nor would the world have heard of the Lord of the Universe. There would have been no trace at all of the many fora and societies that are functioning till date. The son would not have had any regard for his father, nor would the wife have been obedient or faithful towards her husband.
All the professions, skills and degrees such as those of B.A., M.A., Shastri, Hafiz, Maulavi, Civil-Physician, Carpenter, Cobbler etc. and the ways to realize God require Guru (teacher). People belonging to such religions and sects which do not believe in Guru or Gurudom will always be fanning or inciting riots and be wandering aimlessly all their life, because neither they have anybody to impart them the wisdom, nor they are going to realize that they did not pay heed to that sacred and divine principle which was first established by man.
Page 68 - Satgur: Satgur is formed of two words, 'sat' and 'gur': 'sat' means truth and 'gur' means secret, way, or technique. But here satguru is used to imply the person who can teach the secrets to perceive the Guru in the form of Divine Light and Divine Sound. Such a Guru commands the highest status. Unless jiv would accept (such a Guru) as his Hakim (doctor - to cure him of the diseases of mind) and have unwavering faith in his words, he would not be able to accomplish his true objective.
Satsang (External/outer and Internal/Inner): That satsang is external in which Guru teaches the inner secrets (of meditation, jiv, world, Brahma etc.), and that satsang is internal/inner in which the jiv itself is able to perceive or realize the secrets of Brahma, Parbrahma, Anaam etc.
Page 69 – Adhikaari (Eligible, Qualified, entitled Fit or suitable): Such persons who are all the time busy in mundane worldly affairs and are not able to spare even one or two hours a day (for meditation), are not fit to be initiated into inner meditation, for even if these persons get to know about the way to the inner secrets, of what use it would be to him!
[When sadguru Baba Devi Sahib was nearing the time of his departure from this ephemeral world for his true destination, satsangis humbly requested him to bless with his parting words. To their request, Baba Devi Sahab had obliged by saying, "Duniyaa waham hai, abhyaas karo" (meaning, this world is an illusion, practice meditation)]
The Role of the Master is to Bring Us Into the Experience of God
Those part of fundamentalist sects, competing new age or secularist ideologies, or those perhaps not fully acquainted with the nuances of Indian spirituality may have all sorts of misunderstandings about the role of the Living Master or Sant Satguru, imagining him or her to be seeking to divert attention away from God or eclipsing God by placing themselves between the soul and God. However, the reality is quite the opposite. The classic definition of the guru is "Light-giver". The Sant Satguru guides souls into a direct and personal experience of the Divine here and now by teaching students to adopt the necessary methods of meditation practice, ethical values, and by cultivating a receptive attitude of God-bhakti (love and devotion).
The Sants of India have produced some of the most eloquent, ecstatic, God-devoted poetry, prayers and hymns the world has ever known. Below are selections from the Adi Granth (Sikh scriptures) as well as the mystic-poetry of Guru Kabir.
The Role of the Satguru According to the Adi Granth
Adi Granth: By the Guru's instruction the mind of the disciple is rendered immaculate and she keeps God clasped to her heart. She keeps God enshrined in her mind, arranges her affairs, and by the Master's instruction knows her Lord.
"My Beloved has fascinated my soul and I have obtained the Lord, the scribe of destiny."
Serving the Satguru she attains eternal peace and God, the enemy of ego and pride, abides in her mind.
By the Master's instruction the name of God is contemplated. By the guru's grace, soul and body are saturated with the Lord and the Lord's name seems sweet to the mortal. The Lord's name seems sweet to them. He liberates all their families. With their mouths they utter the Lord's name. Their comings and goings cease. They obtain bliss, and their attention remains absorbed the Home of Celestial Music.
The Lord's name is the Song of Joy. It is by the Guru's instruction that the name is contemplated.
(Sri Guru Granth Sahib, English and Punjabi Translation, Volume 5, Manmohan Singh, Publisher: Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, Amritsar)
The Sat-Guru-given Gnosis [direct experience] is lit up in the heart, with whose Light is dispelled the darkness of spiritual ignorance.
(Sri Guru Granth Sahib, English and Punjabi Translation, Manmohan Singh, Volume 3, Publisher: Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, Amritsar)
Kabir's Ocean of God-Bhakti
Here the translator has preserved the numerous names for God that Kabir used in his mystic-verses. Guru Kabir:
The Remote, the Inaccessible makes a fort for His dwelling, which He illumines with His Light. Lightning flashes---there is bliss where the child Prabhu-Gobind plays.
My soul loves Ram's name: Old age, death, doubt flee. (Rest)
They who care about castes are forever singing praises about themselves. But sweet melodies play unstruck where the Lord Prabhu-Gopal dwells.
The remote, unknowable One, who established the earth, the spheres, the three worlds, and the three virtues, lives in every heart: None knows Dharnidhar's secrets.
He reveals Himself in the blossom's fragrance. He dwells in the nectar of a mud-flower. His mantra is in the twelve-petalled heart, where the Lord Kamlakant dwells.
His Light is visible above and below; He illumines the infinite sphere of silence: Neither sun nor moon are found there; the primal Niranjan enjoys Himself.
He knows the universe and each heart. He bathes in Lake Mansarowar. His mantra is, "I am He"; He is not concerned with good deeds or bad.
He has no caste, nor is he casteless; He knows neither pain nor solace. He is in the guru's house. He cannot be avoided. He knows, not birth or death: He is infinite silence.
Those who search for Him in their hearts, and speak His words, will become Him. They who place His mantra of Light in their hearts, Kabir, say, "Those mortals will certainly swim across."
(Songs of Kabir from the Adi Granth, Nirmal Dass, SUNY Press, NY)
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."
To Thee Thou hast drawn my love, O Fakir! I was sleeping in my own chamber, and Thou didst awaken me; striking me with Thy voice, O Fakir! I was drowning in the deeps of the ocean of this world, and Thou didst save me: upholding me with Thine arm, O Fakir! Only one word and no second--and Thou hast made me tear off all my bonds, O Fakir! Kabîr says, "Thou hast united Thy heart to my heart, O Fakir!"
MY Lord hides Himself, and my Lord wonderfully reveals Himself: My Lord has encompassed me with hardness, and my Lord has cast down my limitations. My Lord brings to me words of sorrow and words of joy, and He Himself heals their strife. I will offer my body and mind to my Lord: I will give up my life, but never can I forget my Lord!
HOW could the love between Thee and me sever? As the leaf of the lotus abides on the water: so thou art my Lord, and I am Thy servant. As the night-bird Chakor gazes all night at the moon: so Thou art my Lord and I am Thy servant. From the beginning until the ending of time, there is love between Thee and me; and how shall such love be extinguished? Kabîr says: "As the river enters into the ocean, so my heart touches Thee."
Sant Mat Sites -- Inner Light and Sound Meditation Online
Sant Tulsidas says: "'The association of the saints brings association with the Divine, and alliance with people who are engrossed in the world leads the way back to this world again and again.' To attain Ultimate Liberation it is essential to have association with the saints. Saints, having realized the true form of God, become that True Form." (The Harmony of All Religions)
According to Shri Sant Sevi Ji Maharaj in his book, The Harmony of All Religions, there are three levels of satsang: 1) Association with the Writings/Teachings of Saints, hymns, poetry, and spiritual discourses of the Masters; 2) Association with Satgurus, sitting at the feet of a living teacher; and, 3) Association with Sat (the Eternal Truth), the highest level, an inner Sat-sang Communion with God during meditation practice.
For the first level of satsang, books and internet can be avenues to the teachings of Sants. Below are links to sites that offer writings, the poetry and prose of Sant Satgurus and other helpful information about the resources that are available online.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Naamaste',
