[Divine Souls:4119] Discourses of Satguru-Stream of thoughts- Saint

Discourses of His Holiness Satguru Baba Hardev Singh Ji Maharaj- STREAM OF THOUGHTS –Part III

If the world has found any salvation, it is only because of such saints. That is why it is said:

KABIR DHARTI SADH KI TASKAR BAITHA AYE;DHARTI BHAR NA DHAYAEHN, INKO LAHA LAYE.

It means this earth belongs to the saints, but the thieves have occupied it; and they are spoiling it. This earth cannot bear the burden of such people, such sinners. But this earth is still there. Why? Because the saints are also there. This earth is holding itself because of these saints only:

SANT NA HOTE JAGAT MEIN, JAL MARTA SANSAR.

Today, we see the flames of hatred all around. We see them in our own country, we see them elsewhere. There are bamboos in the forest. As the wind blows they come into friction with each other. Their friction produces a spark that causes fire all over and threatens to destroy the entire forest. The flames, however, fail to cross if there is some water in between. Now that water is there, where should the fire go? There is no way to proceed. Similar is the case with the feelings of hatred and jealousy. They spread like fire in the forest. But with the appearance of a saint, they give way to calm and peace. The evil fire just cannot spread. Perhaps that is the reason why those who spread hatred in the world consider saints as a hurdle in their way. Saints speak of love, humanity and universal brotherhood. But those who want to exploit caste and communal feelings for power, consider the spiritually enlightened saints as undesirable blockages or barriers of their path. Saints preach equality only, saying that all human beings are the creation of the same God. But the selfish people do not like this. That is why saints have always been the target of their enmity, hatred and jealousy. Even then the saints do not give up their nature. The sandal tree does not stop shedding fragrance even though the snakes cling it. Somebody stands on the bank of the Ganges. He starts throwing stones into the eater with all his might. Does the water of the Ganges cease to be meant for the person who is throwing stones? No. The Ganges still provides water (to him). It still quenches thirst of all, makes everyone clean.

It means that saints possess calm. They do not give up their saintly nature even if they come across millions of unsaintly persons. We get peace of mind from this kind of conduct of the saints only. it is such qualities that provide peace of mind. it is because of these qualities that even sinners get pardoned; they too get salvation. A saint does not vacillate. He remains firm, because he is aligned with this God. In fact that is the reason why such qualities enter his life. So long as we are not aligned with God, we remain narrow-minded. As soon as we are associated with God, our narrow-mindedness gives way and then we pray for the goodwill of all, we do good to all. This change in our life comes when we are associated with saints, when we realise this God Nirankar and when we become the humble servants of humanity.
