The Saints say, "He, who has known The Lord, becomes The Lord. There is nothing impossible to such a free soul. No more birth and death for him. He is free forever. Only by The Grace of The Master"
The Master's say, "Saints and The Master come in this world, not to create their own sect or earn name and fame. They come with the specific purpose to Enlighten the human beings, with regard to the True purpose of the human life.
We can come to know about The True purpose of the human life only from The Master, who has already traversed the path and Realised The Truth. It is The Master who has the mandate from The Lord, to show the path to free ourselves from the shackles of the cycle of Birth and Death."
Now a question shall arise in our mind, what is this cycle of Birth and Death?
The Master's say, "The Lord created this world through His Will. Then, when He needed to pump life in it, He sent His particles, The Soul. The Lord within this creation created a cycle of Birth and Death, for The Souls who had descended from The Lord's abode into the Creation. Here, The Soul takes birth in various forms ranging from insects, birds, animals, trees, rivers, human, depending on the consciousness level. Till The Soul does not find The Right Path and Right Prayer, it shall be struck in the cycle of Birth and Death only. And Remember The Lord, our True Father, is waiting for us."
It is like, Two birds, inseparable companions, perched on the same tree. One eats the berries, the other silently observes.
The first bird is our individual self. We feed on this world's sweet and bitter fruits; the other, our Supreme self is silently witnessing everything and waits for the first bird to join it, patiently.
How can we escape from the cycle of Birth and Death?
The Saints say, "Only The Souls, Chosen by The Lord can free themselves from the cycle of Birth and Death. We first of all need to have The Inner Desire to go back to our True Home and be in The Lord's Company.
When The Lord finds such desire in us, He sends The Master in our life, so that we orient our life to Live in The Remembrance of The Lord. The Master initially works on orienting our outer focus inward through Physical Sevaa, then He initiates us on the Spiritual path.
He gives The Naama, which is laced with The Master's Spiritual energy, for Simran at the time of the Initiation. It is through Simran of The Naama that we successfully overpower the mind, which was till now busy in the worldly thoughts and attachments. The Simran of The Naama engulfs the mind and the mind too starts relishing to be in Naama Bhakti and this fruitions into The Dhyaan of The Master.
It is very essential that we focus on The Master's physical Form, because only that can enable us to collect our scattered consciousness at the eye center. Once our consciousness transcends and raises up, by The Grace of The Master, we Realise we are The Soul and not the body. The body is temporary make shift home given for a certain period of time. Once the stipulated time is over, The Soul shall leave the body. Whatever be efforts of the body, it can not live without The Soul.
The Simran and Dhyaan that we do paves way for The Inner Meditation, The Antar Simran and Antar Dhyaan, The True Prayer. As The Naama Bhakti intensifies inside, our Soul connects with The Naama.
We realise till now, we were Living in ignorance. There was darkness all over. But, The Naama which has The Lord's Light and Sound in it, starts to show us the path to our True Home. Only by Reaching The Lord's Home, we can free ourselves from the cycle of Birth and Death.
As The Soul merges in The Naama, we Realise The Lord inside us. The Darshan of The Lord elevates our consciousness to Supreme or Unity Consciousness. We and The Lord are now One. Such souls get freedom from the cycle of Birth and Death and shall always be with The Lord, forever."
The message is crystal clear. This life is not forever. This life is not to merry ourselves in the worldly pleasures. This life is an opportunity to go back to our True Father, who is eagerly waiting for us to join Him. This life is bestowed on us to Live in The Remembrance of The Lord and liberate ourselves from the shackle of birth and death. This life is an opportunity to recognise The Master's call and reach Him. This life is an opportunity to awaken our Vivek and tread in the right path, Live in The Master's Will.
The Master's Will is that we do as much Naama Bhakti as possible, every day, every available Second. Because once, we realise The Naama inside, we shall be The Naama. Let us do Naama Bhakti, The Master's Grace will surely enable us to have The Darshan of The Lord, one day.
