Discourses of His Holiness Satguru Baba Hardev Singh Ji Maharaj- STREAM OF THOUGHTS –Part III
In case there appears a wall of ego or some other kind of curtain in between, we may be deprived from being purified, from becoming gold. Divine Masters have always emphasised the need for the company of saints. They have always advised not to go in for the company of the ignorant and the unpious: SADHU KE SANGAT RAHE, JAU KI BHOOSI KHAY; HONHAR SO HOYE HAI, SAKAT SANG NA JAY.
Whatever we may have to do in the world, we must remain in the company of saints. We may face any ups and downs, we may receive anything to eat- even the husk of barley, yet we should not go to the company of the unsaintly persons. We should cherish the company of saints all the time, because it is only here that our belief in God remains firm, our faith in the Almighty is strengthened. No more we stumble; we continue our march on the path of truth. It is because of the company of saints that our mind becomes spiritually enlightened. It comes to know what is good and what is bad. Automatically it stops moving towards evils and adopts the path of goodwill. Man indeed has never found salvation unless he got the company of saints. Man achieved salvation only when he found this righteous way of thinking, this wisdom. And this wisdom comes from the company of saints. Spiritual masters say: JO JAANE APAS KO NICHA, SO HI GINIYE SAB TE UCHA
The man who considers himself to be humble is in fact the highest of all. His name is included in the category of saints and he deserves to be revered. He has no ego, because ego brings hatred for all. A man occupying some high office always talks in terms of 'I', 'I can do this', 'I can do that'. Similarly if man gets a little honour it goes to his head and makes him diseased with ego.
One may be proud of one's good piece of writing or a poem. One may be proud of being a singer. But so long as man has ego, he does not receive real respect. He has no name, notwithstanding his high caste or number of degrees he has obtained. Saints, on the other hand, receive instant respect because they are modest, they are humble. The world goes through what they say and attaches importance to the same
