Khand,
Teen Lok Na Paaiye, Aru Ikkis Brahmand….”

Upkar,
Lochan Anant Ughariya, Anant Dikhavan Har….”

If you have Sadguru, you have all the treasures of life. Nothing is left to achieve. If one has not met the Sadguru, he is pitiable. Every home has a Father, Mother, son and daughter but you won’t find the Sadguru in each and every home. Very few are fortunate enough to have the Sadguru in their lives.
- “Satguru Mila Ju Janiye, Gyan Ujala
Hoy,
Bhram Ka Bhanda Todi Kari, Rahai Nirala Hoy….”

Bin Satguru Pavai Nahin, Kotin Kare Upay….”
Millions of people died reading scripture and treatises. Millions are practising yoga, yagna, rituals and observing fasts. Without the true guidance of the Sadguru, zero experience is not possible.

Mati Dheer,
So Dhokha Nahin Birahaheen, Satguru Mile Kabir….”

Bhav Manhin,

- “Ja Guru Te Bhram Na Mite, Bhranti
Na Jivakee Jaye,
So Guru Jhootha Janiye, Tyagat Der Na Laye….”
The so-called Guru who is unable to give transparent vision of spirituality and cannot remove one’s doubts, he is not a perfect one. He must be ignorant and may be liar. Beware of him. Get rid of him immediately and save your precious life. Don’t waste your time and energy.
- “Jin Dhoondha Tin Paiyan, Gahire Pani
Paith,
Main Bapura Boodan Dara, Raha Kinare Baith….”
Those who fear drowning cannot jump into the ocean of
spirituality and can’t get pearls and gems. But those who are
courageous enough to dive in the depth of ocean would certainly get
pearls and gems in the form of the Sadguru.
Kabirji says that one who is fearful of drowning simply sits near the
bank, can not get anything and remains empty handed.
So for a seeker courage is a must. He should be ready to move in a uncharted
path. Therefore the gamblers who travel with insecurity are ultimate winners.
Shopkeepers and calculators will remain empty handed.
- “Guru Keejai Jani Ke, Panee Peejai
Chhani,
Bina Bichare Guru Kare, Parai Chaurasi Khani….”
One should be aware and alert while selecting the Sadguru and through
verification one should come to a conclusion. Just as we take precaution
while drinking water that it should be filtered, clean and without any
dust and pollution to save ourselves from contamination.
If one selects a so-called Guru who is ignorant and selfish, a seeker
again goes through a cycle of eighty-four lakhs births and the whole life
is a just a misleading affair for the disciple/seeker.
- “Kabir Soyee Din Bhala, Jaa Din Sadhu
Milay,
Ank Bhare Bhari Bhetiye, Paap Shareera Jay....”
The Day one comes in contact with Sadguru, it is considered to be a best and auspicious day. No matter what day it is. One should not hesitate while meeting Sadguru and should meet him with complete devotion and offer his services to the fullest to him. This helps him overcome all the sinful deeds of the past.
- “Kabir Darshan Sadhu Ka, Bade Bhag
Darshay,
Jo Hovai soolee Saja, kaante yee Tari Jay….”

Ratan Bharay,
Mand Bhag Muththi Bharai, Kankar Hath Lagay….”

- “Sadhu Mile Yeh Sab Talai, Kal-Jal
Jam Chot,
Sheesh Navavat Dhahin Parai Agh Papan Ke Pot….”
On meeting a Saint all the worldly attachments, fear of death and all the distresses come to an end. And bowing before him (surrendering to him) frees oneself from all his sins and wrongs and thereafter a fruitful life begins for him
- “Sarvar Tarvar Sant Jan, Aur Chautha
Barase Meh,
Parmarath Ke Karane Charon Dharee Deh….”
Trees, Ponds, Rainfalls and Saints are qualitatively the same as they exist for the welfare of others. Pond quenches the thirst of others. Tree gives cool shade, fruit and flower. Rain gives water to the earth and humanity. In the same manner Saints are born for liberating other human beings from their sorrows and sufferings through their grace.
- “Guru Bin Mala Pherate, Guru Bin Dete
Dan,
Guru Bin Sab Nisphal Gaya, Puchhou Ved Puran….”
Without the true knowledge imparted by a Sadguru, counting beads and making charities bear no meaning. One may confirm it from the Vedas and ancient teachings.
- “Shukdev Sarika Pheriya, To Ko Pavai
Par,
Guru Bin Nigura Jo Rahai, Padai Chaurasi Dhar….”
A born Yogi and knowledgeable person like Shukdev also deviated from the right path because he had no Sadguru, so how can the ordinary ones cross the ocean-like world without a Sadguru. That is no matter how knowledgeable one may become, but without a Sadguru he has to continue in the life and death cycle of the material world.
- “Mata - Pita Sut Eestaree, Aalas Bandhu
Kani,
Sadhu Darash Ko Jay Chalai, Ye Atakawai Khani….”
Family members like parents, sons, wife, brothers and the near and dear ones are usually hindrances when one is attracted to a Sadguru. Our own ego of status and laziness are also impediments that prevent us from meeting a Sadguru.
Spirituality means love in action. It means enjoying our spiritual riches and sharing them with all we meet. We can learn to balance our spiritual practices with our worldly responsibilities, enjoying the fruits within ourselves and sharing our gifts with humanity.
- Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj
