Baba ji Satsang in English-- Bhatt Mines
New Delhi 13.10.2012.
(Memory recall—as understood)
In normal course we consider “Spirituality”
with “attainments” in Life. Spirituality is in fact an “Awakening” and not some
sort of attainment. Attainment is something that you do not have and you have to
work for it. All of us are “spiritual beings” having “”human experience”. We are unaware of the inherent spirituality
within all of us. All we need to do is
to awaken that spirituality that we already have. This is gifted equally to all
of us. It is not that Saints have more and others have less. The difference is that Saints have become
conscious to that spirituality, while we have yet to “awaken” to that state in
consciousness.
We all know that this creation is created
and sustained by the Shabd. We need Shabd as our anchor in Life. In our daily
activities we are attached to the physical, which is changing and
transitory. This is what is called Maya,
which is not permanent. “Aye Jaye, Yeh May ka Roop”—something
which comes and goes is Maya. In physical we are limited, while Shabd is
unlimited. Any sickness or accident in life disturbs us. If we get the support
of all powerful and permanent Shabd we are able to live through that period with
ease in our life.
The awakening of Shabd or the spirituality within
comes through meditation and concentration. What can our efforts achieve? They
are limited as compared to the objective we are seeking. With our efforts we are merely trying to
clean ourselves so that we may become receptive to His grace. The entire stress
on “Nam Bhkati”or Simran is to ensure that preparedness for receptivity.
Normally we pray for his grace. His grace is there all the time but we remain
ignorant of the many ways He showers His grace. But for His grace we would not
have taken this human birth. With spiritual awakening we can realize and
appreciate that flow of Grace.
Many persons complain that despite their
efforts, they have not been able to see any “light” or hear any “sound”. “Light”
represents development of higher Consciousness. The more the Shabd becomes as
anchor in our lives, it takes us away from Maya and that provides realization,
which is the “light” of higher understanding. Sound is meant to provide sense
of direction— whether we are going on the correct course of spirituality. Maharaj ji has blessed us with Nam, He has
seen that spark of our capabilities and has taken full responsibility for that
spiritual awakening. Right direction has been determined. A little time and a little effort is required to walk in
that very direction. We need to devote a little time and a little effort for
the commitment we made to Maharaj Ji at the time of initiation and He shall
take full care of us. Nothing will be
lacking.
