Discourses of His Holiness Satguru Baba Hardev Singh Ji Maharaj- STREAM OF THOUGHTS –Part III
An ignorant person (Manmukh) adopts several rituals to get this peace. But all his practices fail because he is not integrated with the real source of peace and happiness i.e. God. No other means that the man's merger with this source of eternal joy, the Almighty, can make him happy. Man cannot take rest or find eternal peace of mind so long as he remains attached to the worldly materials which by themselves are not permanent, stable and independent. Once a man gives place in his heart to the ever-living Almighty, he himself rises above decay and whosoever comes in his contact, he too finds peace, lasting and all the time. Thereafter, no worldly illusions can attract him, allure him, shake him. History tells us the tales of troubles created by people for saints and the way they were tortured. But these saints did not detach themselves from the true name, the ultimate truth i.e. God. They continued to rely on it; they always gave importance to this name (God).
Saints! Only a person who knows this Permanent Power (God) and aligns himself with it can remain fearless, unshaken and firm and love all while having faith in truth. In fact all saints are loving devotees of the True Master. The one who loves every saint, indeed loves the True Master. Therefore, we must show love and respect to all saints or fellow devotees. And we must have this feeling throughout our life.
An ignorant person is unable to have such a feeling. When mind prevails over us we are overwhelmed by the non-cooperation of the mind, we are overwhelmed by ego. In other words, when we start to believe: I know a lot, I understand a lot, I am perfect, I am a great intellectual, I am physically very strong and so on, the 'I' enters our mind and there is no room for the love for others to flourish. With the coming of ego, the stream of love ceases to flow. where 'I' dwells, God Formless does not; and where God dwells 'I' does not.
A saintly person removes 'I', gives the place to 'You', takes refuge in this Almighty and is all the time aligned with God-Nirankar.
