- “Ye search the Scriptures, because ye think ye have eternal life in them: they are they which bear record of me. » John 5:39
In the introduction to a book of Sant Mat (The path of the Saints)
Titled Basic principles of Sant Mat ,
spread over 3 Volumes of 360 pages each.
An explanation that I believe will appeal to all those who sincerely seek to understand the world in which we live and the Creator of the Universe
Here is the explanation:
« The Creator Lord designed the wondrous play of nature by creating innumerable physical and spiritual realms. If we look from the tiny atom to the immense sky, we realize that our world contains many forests, mountains and oceans where many human creatures and other species live.
The unfathomable multi-colored creation is a beautiful example of the impeccable work of the Lord.
The Lord created eighty-four lakh (8.4 million) species divided into four categories and placed man at the top.
Although the craftsmanship of the Lord can be seen in every particle,
For example: A zebra 🦓, a peacock 🦚, as for fish, you can be amazed in front of an aquarium- Birds of all colors –So-called wild animals:
And now the different races of men and women:
His art reaches its peak in the creation of humans.
The human body appears to be made entirely of flesh and bone, but in reality it is such an exceptional work of art that many books and treatises have been written about the secrets it holds.
Many doctrines prevail regarding the methods of God realization and each doctrine espouses different theories, but all agree on one point: The human form is supreme and one can only achieve perfection and truth in this form.
It is surprising that we have forgotten the Creator – the Lord – and fallen in love with His creation – the material world. In doing so, we waste our human life, in which every breath is precious.
Most people have no inclination towards spirituality. If some, by chance, turn to God, they engage in external practices and rituals at the behest of the spirit. Some people worship idols and perform penances; others do breath control exercises to achieve concentration, while some read a few Vedanta books and
weighed “tam Brahman” and “You are That”. The fact is, “Without the true Guide, there is total darkness.
Sages often claim that they follow the teachings of the saints, but in truth, these teachings are extremely difficult to follow. To follow the path of the Gurus is to die while living, but if we wish to escape the cycle of eighty-four, we do not have any
other option.
Adi Granth is a boundless ocean that contains countless spiritual gems and jewels. Anyone who dives into it can get these gems. Those who shape their lives according to the teachings become true sadhus, or gurmukhs. The purpose of this book is to help scholars gain a clear understanding of the teachings of Guru Sahib as well as the writings of other saints and mystics.
The book sheds light on many aspects of spirituality by bringing together evidence from Guru Sahib’s writings. The main objective is to understand Nam, (The Word) also known as Shabd. The Saints explain that Shabd is of two types: varnatmak and dhunatmak. Varmatmak can be written or spoken, dhunatmak is the sound of the inexpressible Shabd, which can only be experienced within, through the soul, through concentration in the eye center.
Varnatmak is man-made and limited by the mind, while dhunatmak – a resonance of the Lord – is beyond the mind and cannot be described in any language.
Kabir says:
Through these fifty-two letters, the three worlds and all things are described. These letters will perish; they cannot describe the imperishable Lord’.
Everything in the three worlds can be described in words, but dhunatmak Shabd is that eternal element which is beyond description. If we lovingly follow the path laid out by our Guru, we can hear the Shabd within Daswan Dwar (the eye center). Adi Granth calls it anhad (unlimited, boundless) Sound, Truth, Shabd or Nam. This sound is beyond words. Shabd, which is the essence of all realms and the basis of the entire universe, has resonated within each of us since the dawn of time. Shabd allows the soul to cross the ocean of existence and return and unite with the Lord.
Guru Nanak says:
“In me the light of the Word continually shines, and I am lovingly attached to the true Lord. »
““I am lovingly attached to the true Lord.”
This expression of Guru Nanak sums up everything else.
Between the path leading to self-knowledge and that of self-surrender to the flow of Faith, there is a considerable difference of perspective.
The soul is the reflection of the power of the Spirit operating in all things.
Before the spectacle that the universe offers us in the diversity of wonders that fill it, we feel so small that only the love of strength can invade us with the force of divine love capable of raising us to dignity.
The Truth is one and becomes clear to our eyes when we stop living in the futility of contradictory thought systems that we find here and there.
Like a child, each one must learn to live life’s beauties to the fullest out of love for his life.
And this love guides his heart along the path of good lessons learned in order to become great, objective, and useful for all good things.
What is What does God require of each of us if not to practice justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with Him and according to His will? Living consciously through the application of science emanating from the meaning of our vital needs while avoiding causing harm to others is already a work of high self-esteem that we are doing on ourselves.
It is then that the path will be cleared so that the doors to beautiful spiritual experiences can open before the noses of those in sincere search for much better truths about God, nature, and ourselves.
Otherwise, we will always need to concoct foolish plans to achieve our ends at the expense of others.
And the resulting mental imbalance will subsequently highlight the lack of sincerity we have in our relationships with ourselves, God, and others.
Nothing in the world can be truer than the actions of a meek person in their interactions with their peers.
For, from their sincere heart emerges the truth of the Father upon the surface of the nourishing earth.
Thank you, my friend, for this contribution to the work of reeducation of others.
My readers will be grateful for this masterpiece, a commentary that comes from a Westerner who has opened his unique eye to free himself from all complexes and prejudices of race, color, and culture, and above all, to avoid being burdened or engulfed in any sect, in order to preserve his freedom of clear thought and to be able to distribute hot breads and fish to a wider audience.
It is up to me to thank you for your generous contribution to this cause of re-education.
If education is a preventative action, re-education requires a greater effort because it aims to counteract a disadvantageous upbringing that has had time to take root in someone’s life. Many of us have witnessed the havoc a misguided mind can wreak. All the more so, we could understand the adventures of a soul that has evolved far from the authentic divine paths. All this to say how important, essential, commendable, and courageous it is to take on the mission of re-educating bias and self-sufficiency.
The Divine uses all means to touch even the most inveterate unbelievers with His positivity. It is undeniable that this blog is invested with such a mission and will continue on its path as long as time permits.
Evolved souls are those who invest themselves in even the most insignificant tasks to reflect even a glimmer of the Cosmic Sun. These are blessed for their altruism, which enlightens souls lost in the darkness of the mind.
May this work bear fruit, dear author! And may Infinite Energy fully surround its Reflectors of Light!
My dear Ronald, I just read your comment and was impressed to see how our various exchanges and Satsangs were not a waste of precious stones, for you used them well to embellish this text so that the desired goal of reeducation could be achieved.
Thank you for your participation.
