BOWING TO ONLY – THE ONE –

These words were since long, in my heart. Some what harsh reality. For ages, kept them within. But may be we should face reality now.

It’s a very famous saying – Mera sir jhuke toh bus TERE aagey jhuke. If my head bows, may it bow only in front of YOU, and none else. In human world commonly we take this as a meaning – that, we should never need to bow our head as a beggar, in front of anyone, other then GOD. What ever we need, we should only ask HIM. And none else. Though not something we follow. Not in any way.

What i understood about spirituality is –( Apart from -- GOD exists) - That if one soul is faithful to only one single power. And meditate upon that power. That soul/human can win favorable place in that power’s/deity’s heart. It is called – siddhi hona... to win a deity. But this only happens, when one is faithful to one power. We can see it in this way, that one is practicing and practicing one piece of Harmony. On any Musical Instrument. How ever difficult that piece is. And then one day one becomes perfect adept of that particular piece of Harmony. Or in more spiritual term – trying and trying to attune our own frequency to one particular level of Vibration or Energy. And finally succeeding. But then as the rule says – we try to attune to one single frequency.

Mostly our tendency is – worship this deity and then this one too, and then that one too. The more deities one’s religion prescribes. More bewildered the soul is – so the worship becomes, either need based. Or festival based. If one needs special solution to special problem. One worships, the deity, who has been assigned power to that particular area. Like the power on clouds/water has been assigned to a deity called Indra. Mostly we follow—religious days. Monday is day of this deity, Tuesday that... Holi we worship this deity and Diwali – that. And so on..

And thus instead of bowing down to THE ONE. We keep bowing to everyone. And winning favour of no one. We are so accustomed to worshiping – as following norms of our religion. That we don’t even bother to pause and think--- why are we worshiping. And whom ?

And this is not the problem of following one specific religion, but almost every single one.

Before PERFECT MASTER comes in our life, we worship, or bow down to practically every deity or power, that we consider above us. Or spiritual. But then we are not aware of reality then. Though it is still a setback for Soul. Irony is - when HE comes in our life. We still can not stop bowing down to these powers. And that – is REALLY PATHETIC.

When after fasting whole day – ( even if our heart never stops to ask this – what kind of FATHER needs HIS child to remain hungry ? ) we are breaking our fast – by offering worship to either MOON, SUN OR STARS, or even any other Deity. Why our heart never ask us – why are we bowing down to lesser powers, when we have HIM in our life ? We know places of these powers now. HE told us... Didn’t HE ?? Still why our heart never whispers – whom are we betraying ?? A wife serving many men betrays her one husband. We call HIM our BELOVED. Who should own our whole and sole... and yet here we are – Betraying HIM. And despite calling ourselves HIS followers. HIS children or even Satsangi... we proudly demonstrate our bowing down to other deities to everyone. Belittling HIS Love.

In one of question and answer session – once HE even did, one thing HE never ever do. One child when asked – what if every one denies doing Sewa ? How will the work be done then ? HE said – 33 million deities are standing in wait to perform Sewa... Do we need more proof ? Then a LIVING BREATHING MASTER Speaking ??

ISLAM talks about only ONE ALLAH – Coz only HE exists. CHRIST calls HIM – ONE FATHER. Coz only HE exists. GURU GRANTH SAHIB calls HIM – ONE WAHEGURU, coz only HE exists. Vedas calls HIM – ONE PARBRAHMA, coz only HE exists.. It’s all HIS names. We divide HIM, according to names.

Now if we apply spiritual rules, and attune ourselves and our frequency to only one Vibration --- HIM... instead of other lesser vibrations... We know what we achieve.

So next time, despite having HIM in our life, when we bow down to other lesser powers or Deities. And proudly start demonstrating this in our friend and relation circle. Or even on platform of social media... let’s ask ourselves – what are we doing ? And whom are we betraying. If we have family members, who don’t yet understand that HE is one and above all powers, and follow lesser Deities. To keep family Harmony, we might need to go along. Still inside our heart only HE can exist. But if all of us belong to Sant Mat. Then what excuse do we have ?? To still run behind this Mata, and that Deity ?? Or even worshiping Moon and Stars !!!!! Why after having HIM in our lives we stoop so low ?? What are we afraid of !!!

Let us do real Fast – From Vices, from Illusion, from cravings of world. Let us Sacrifice – our Ego. And let us offer most precious thing in this creation – our soul’s DEVOTION – to that one and only --- THE ONE.

कही और ना सजदा गवारा, असा तो तेन्नु रब्ब मनया।

I can’t even bear to Bow down to anyone else anymore – other then YOU...
My BELOVED, i know and believe... That YOU are the only GOD...
YOU are the only GOD for me...

JOURNEY OF SOUL - GOD REALIZATION

Har Ek Rooh pyaasi, Har Ek dil swali. Every soul is thirsty and each heart is asking the question about BELOVED... Only where to look ? is the question. Whose right answer is hard to receive. Otherwise look at all those Satsangs. Look at all those religious or spiritual channels. And we will see huge crowd gathering to listen. To something.... Even they don’t know what.... But all they feel is this thirst. And so every one is gathered around some kind of satsang or another. Do we receive true answers ?? It is up to us to investigate.

Since ages, many believed that the stage of “AHUM BRAHMASMI “ depicted in Vedas, is the highest stage. That achieved, the soul has achieved Union with Brahma, understood own self – “Self Realization”, and reached ultimate abode. There are many, who still consider it the ultimate aim to be achieved. Ashrams, through out India are overflowing with aspirants wanting to reach this stage. But PERFECT MASTERS tells us the different story. THEY all tell us, that the knowledge given in Vedas, can not go beyond. Beyond, where the birth of Vedas took place. SWAMI JI MAHARAJ, even goes on to say – Vedas were born inside Third Realm. And all they can do is – tell us, what are the rules that bound all three realms. And according to those rules, how can we live a best life. Those who have knowledge goes on to say – That the Image one sees inside three realms, which makes one believe that they have reached stage of “ AHUM BRAHMASMI” “I am that Brahma/i am the creator” Is a mirage or illusion, shown by mind itself. Since soul hasn’t yet got rid of mind. A mind being the projector. Easily projects one more illusion.

Then comes – “SO AHUM “ or “SOHAM”. Which means – “That which the creator is, i am that”. Seems just like a different way of saying- Ahum Brahmasmi. But if we look closely – it still depicts – Duality. Since even in words there are two. HIM, and i. What ever HE is, i am that too. Simple logic. The soul hasn’t yet reached. In Sar Bachan SWAMI JI MAHARAJ gives us the stage where Soul receives this experience. Just before forth realm, is the real AMRITSAR/ MANSAROVER. When the soul takes bath in it. Mind and it’s vices are shed. As soul becomes free of mind, and stands there in her full glory. She realizes that she is of same essence as GOD is. In fact it is there she understand what she is. Here the true love and yearning for BELOVED is born. Till here what ever love or yearning we feel. Is creation of mind. And thus subject to ups and downs. It is near this AMRITSAR soul realizes... “SO AHUM/ SOHAM “. But this still is not the real GOD REALIZATION...

We hear the story of MANSOOR – AL- HALLAJ. HE while in the Meditative Glory of union with BELOVED uttered the words --- “I AM TRUTH” ( “I AM GOD”) ( ANA- L- HAQQ )  And those who heard HIM saying thus – immediately felt that HE committed worst kind of sin. It was because of these words. That HE was sentenced to death. A very gruesome death.  Tortured and decapitated. Though in BOOK OF MIRDAD, it is said--- that the only “I” that truely exists is the “I “ of GOD. So this “I “ is worthy. And later RUMI ji said --- Those who do not utter these words. Are true KAAFIRS.( not true Muslim. Muslim means – one who has taken refuge in GOD ) They are Kaafir, because that means, they haven’t done anything to realize THE TRUTH. Which is the real and soul purpose/ religion of soul.

So above Ahum Brahmasmi or Soham, this is the destination of soul – I AM TRUTH....... In fact it is still more further. Calling out I AM TRUTH .... feels like there is still some thing left.... For there can’t be anything left to say. Sometimes i feel... real destination could be – when as MASTER says --- Goongey ka Guud. A sweet eaten by one who can not speak. No words remaining. There is nothing to describe. For words are too small. That the destination is --- when soul becomes silent. Too full, or too complete to speak...

AND OF COURSE THIS KNOWLEDGE AND THIS STAGE CAN BE ACHIEVED THRU PERFECT LIVING MASTER. AND HIS GRACE, CAN AND WILL TAKE US.... TO THAT ULTIMATE REALIZATION.

May we reach... that kind of GOD REALIZATION soon. AMEN...

Peace And Bliss --
