Good will

God is limitless, unfathomable, beyond imagination and beyond comprehension. His praise and the way to attain salvation are also incomprehensible. The creation longs to learn about God and realize God. So do I. Therefore I read Siree Guru Granth Sahib (Sikh religion scripture). I try to understand to the best of my ability and tune my mind to it and then write. I wrote some English poetry and I translated my Punjabi poetry in this book. I have no divine wisdom. I have no knowledge of God. I get emotional and write mostly in Punjabi language and then translate it to English. I did write some English poems. English is not my first language. For this reason I cannot write well. So I write in Punjabi and translate into English to the best of my humble ability. God created the guru as his image. God himself hides and has no way to bestow divine light. The divine light gives light when it is burning. When it is not burning it cannot give light. The guru is God’s messenger. He is enlightened by God. In essence the light is the same wherever it is. So the guru is God in human form. Worshipping the guru the God devotionally attains salvation. I listen from others and tell others. I have no understanding. So please forgive for the inaccuracies that I write. There are many learned masters in the world. I hope the learned masters; the scholars and the Godly people will accept my humble effort.

Divine Wisdom

God is one. He came into existence on his own. He will be there to the end. He planned and created time, then with one command created the universe. All are his children. He does not take birth. The universe runs by one rule, controlled through time. The human life cycle is like sowing the seed in the ground. It grows and grows bigger in the form of a plant, then ripens and harvested. The original seed again becomes the seed. Human body is like the chaff of wheat or rice. It ripens and falls off, and the real seed the soul remains alive to be born again. Keep sowing and growing and the cycle keeps repeating. Any other life cycle also repeats the same way, in many ways and many shapes. Although it changes from one to the next specie like the grafting of plants and trees! This mutation takes place by God’s grace reciting God’s name. He is realized by guru’s (divine teacher) grace reciting his name. When there was nothing, there was God. He meditated became humble and worshipped. Out of his loneliness he created the universe for his pleasure in his own image. Then He created life in the form of bacteria in the whole world. He kept the control in his hand. He handed over the authority to realize him to the guru. This bacterium exists everywhere. It mutates to the environment and stays alive. When there is a climate like earth then the mutation takes place and the life of our kind the trees and reptiles etc takes place. Every being has the brain. Humans have bigger brain. They start thinking and putting forward their ideas. In ancient times the human knowledge was carried by hear say. Now there is paper pen ink and other modern writing systems. It is carried by writing and broadcasting through media. The writing is the over flowing of ideas. There is worldly writing and there is divine writing. During the pregnancy the being worships God. It has no contact with any thing else. It is that affect that a being is born with human code of conduct. As soon as he or she is born the worldly wind touches and the being starts to change towards worldly wealth. The most important cause is the stomach. It wants to eat. Slowly the worldly wealth, the worldly knowledge takes over. There are some people born with divine knowledge. That happens due to previous deeds. Some people observe their performance and start to follow their message and the foundation of religion is laid. Those who start the faith do not have the divine knowledge. So they practice and advertise the human code of conduct, the code of conduct which we lost after birth while growing up. The code of conduct is not divine knowledge but it is necessary to acquire divine knowledge. This code of conduct is written in story form and preached from generation to generation in story form. Some of it is not the original writings of the prophets. It is written by the followers those who only know the code of conduct. The story telling is the code of conduct. It starts with stories of code of conduct of living beings by hear say and it ends with code of conduct. God does not take birth. He is not a living being. So, how can you tell his stories? God cannot be imagined or fathomed. It is impossible to write and tell stories about him. The religion does not go any further. If the teaching is code of conduct, then the learning is also code of conduct. The hear say stories get deluded by handling from one to the next and some spice added by the story teller. The code of conduct can be taught and learned. It does not bestow salvation, because code of conduct is not divine knowledge. It is what we are born with which gets lost in the worldly wind and wealth. The second type of writing is divine writing. There are only three entities that are divine; God, soul and the guru. People who acquire divine knowledge write about divine wisdom. God is unfathomable and infinite. So is divine knowledge. It is an unfathomable feeling which cannot be described. It increases serving the guru and the devotee enjoys and tries more and more. It is like a mute eating the sweet and smiles. It is beyond comprehension. It cannot be written. It is beyond description. It cannot be written and explained like faith. It is personal. People who start worshipping God the guru devotionally, they fall in love with the guru and start writing about their pain of separation from the guru the God. This pain of separation is called the divine writing. There is a message in it which leads to worshipping the guru the God. There are many scriptures in the world. There are many followers of the scriptures. Every scripture carries some message which is above human knowledge. Whether it is story telling or divine writing! Reading the scriptures is better than doing nothing. But to progress further is to read, understand and then act on it. It has significant affect on the individuals. Mere reading the scriptures has no affect on the mind, though it is still better than doing nothing! It has been seen that some people read scriptures, become egotistic and claim to have acquired divine knowledge and salvation. Ego and humility are opposite to each other. The ego irritates the mental feelings and makes the mind irrational. It destabilizes the mind. They indeed lose what they had at birth. Humility on the other hand soothes the mind and the mind can think and concentrate to the best of its ability in order to straighten the mind. Self-surrendering eliminates ego. If you do not follow upon what you read has no meaning. The divine knowledge cannot be taught. It can only be learned through love and devotion. The divine knowledge is the inner feeling and enlightenment. It cannot be put on paper. But it is there to enjoy. Divine knowledge is not materialistic. It does not give worldly wealth. It is divine and it gives divine pleasure and pain of separation. It is the humble request of the divine person and the pain of separation that he or she writes. The divine knowledge starts to emerge as soon as the devotee starts to worship the guru devotionally. It can only be acquired by devotion love and humility, not any other way. More you sink into it more it entices you and more knowledge and separation you get. Slowly and steadily it changes into enlightenment and that is called the divine wisdom. It is infinite and unfathomable and it cannot be written as well. God exists in everything. He is the closest of all. Everyone and everything else is always far away and stays that way. What can be seen is made up of five elements. Whatever is seen has life span and it has to perish. When there is the same God in everything then who is good and who is bad. It is the man; the belly makes it good or bad. Some people are born with supernatural talent. They are called the prophets. God has bestowed divine wisdom on them through guru’s teachings. The normal human beings see it and form associations on their names and start practicing the human code of conduct. After coming into existence God created the guru (divine teacher) and enlightened him as the sun enlightens the moon. God bestowed his powers to the guru. So the guru is God in human form. As the sun enlightens the moon, as diamond enlightens the diamond. As the touch stone changes iron into gold. As water mixed with milk changes into milk! As sandalwood gives its fragrance to other trees in the vicinity! Same way the guru enlightens his followers. If there is light; it can be transferred or if there is fire it can light the next stick. But if there is no light, it cannot enlighten anything. It means that the guru has to be living guru to implant culture in the devotee to transform. The guru could be dead afterwards but the light keeps burning. But you only get what you earn. To worship the dead cannot enlighten because the light the soul has already departed. Your soul is God. It knows what you do. Whatever good or bad you do is written in the soul in your account. This bacterium does not die. When you die, this bacterium (soul) leaves and goes somewhere else, and takes your bad or good deeds with it. After a while this soul again enters in some form of birth canal and takes birth. Your deeds get written on your forehead when you take birth. This becomes the path of your life to start with. Because we cannot remember what we did in our previous life; we call it as fate. That is your guidance of your present life. Your path is changeable by doing different deeds different way. Because you only get what you earn, and no more. It applies in the world also the same way. You have higher education, you work hard and you make more money. Same thing happens in God’s court also. The guru is God’s representative. He teaches to recite God’s name. A person, who does not slander others, does not harm anyone, does not cheat or lie and recites God with love and devotion humbly, is a saint and attains salvation. Wearing religious robes, dirty robes or saffron robes, eating, commanding etc do not bestow divine knowledge. Doubt duality slander ego and harming others takes one away from divine path. Some people obtain some miraculous or magical power by concentrating. It is just ego and money making process. Remember miracles are against Godly rules because it involves ego. Reciting God’s name through guru’s teaching gives divine knowledge. A Godly person does not long for miracles or any other gift but to love realize and visualize the beloved the guru the God through his teaching.

The salvation

It is the sermon used in divine wisdom, which unites the person with God and merges with God and visualizes the universe. It is like mother and child relation. The child wants to be with his mother and the mother wants to be with her child. As the moon is separated from earth; it keeps circling around earth with a hope of uniting. That longing applies in divine circles also, because the entire creation is created by God and is part of God and it wants to go back where it came from. The guru is like mother father relative friend brother and a helper in every sense. If a person longs for God devotionally, He or she misses God sincerely. God unites the devotee with the guru, who is missing Him and the guru guides to miss God more and become divine and merge with God. The devotee merges with God and becomes one and the same or becomes God. Life is the most precious thing to the beings. No one wants to die. Death scares all. Serving the guru the God eliminates the fear of death and the one who attains salvation does not die any more. To obtain salvation is to merge with God. Eliminate ego duality and the five passions and self surrender to the beloved. It obtains the eternal happiness and straightens the mind. Straightening the mind is to become divine and merge with God. It is like mixing water with water. The wind merged with wind does not separate again. Same way a being merged with God does not separate again and does not take birth any more. There are worldly pleasures and Godly pleasures. The worldly pleasures are for the worldly body which are temporary. In the hope of realizing God, give up the worldly hope. If you have lot of pleasure doing something! It will be enjoyable in the beginning but after a while it becomes stale and does not appeal anymore. That applies to all worldly pleasures. They do not last forever. No one takes anything from here to the next world. It is allocated to some other greedy person like us, so on so forth. But the Godly pleasure increases day by day breath by breath. A person gets so immersed in it that he or she forgets the pleasure or pain. He does not find any difference between gold and iron, riches or poverty. Every thing looks same to him like God. God abides in everything. He does not talk ill of anyone, no slandering, no harming, but keeps on reciting God’s name. God’s name does not enshrine in the mind by just saying God God. There is a difference in saying God. God’s name only enshrines in the mind by guru’s grace through guru’s teaching. The rules set by God to unite with him are, love, devotion and humility. God longs for love and sincerity. God created the world to express his love. He does not accept the egotistic being, instead accepts the humble beings. The humility cleanses the mind. One can only merge with God through touchstone philosophy. There is no other way. When a devotee worships the guru with devotion, the guru guides him further till he becomes one with one mentally and the guru transfers the light telepathically and the devotee becomes same as the guru. In other words becomes God and does not take birth again. He knows all about the universe as well.

Achievements being divine

The body is a closed door shop, where the truth and falsehood is traded. You buy what you pay for. Conquering the mind attains divinity. The mind is conquered by God’s grace through guru’s teaching and the ego dies. The person merges with God and his or her taking birth is eliminated because he or she has become the part of God who does not take birth. He enjoys sweet and sour happiness, which changes his mind that he does not have any longing for worldly amenities but wants to be with his or her beloved. He does not need anything. He is in true love. With that his fear of birth and death is eliminated. The sweetness gives him joy and sourness gives him pain of separation. That further pulls him towards his goal. Divinity is a priceless diamond, a jewel, and a pearl. No one can pay the price. There are no buyers or an appraiser or desirous of it. So keep it to yourself and enjoy peace and contentment. Some day some sincere and hopeful person will come, then share it with him or her. He will buy it for a fair price.

Divine worship

God was there before everything else. The religion came afterwards. The social education and religious teachings also came afterwards. At that time the way to recite God was illiteracy, innocence, ignorance and devotion. That still applies to worship God. Nothing else works. People go to worship. It takes time to go there. In the mean time I say God God God. People go to the church, temple or a mosque. It takes time to go there. In that time I say God God God. People go to the forest to meditate. It takes time to go there. In the mean time I say God God God. People wear different religious robes. It takes time to wear. In the mean time I say God God God. People do yoga. It takes time to set up the place. I say God God God in the mean time. It is so simple. It does not take time. It does not need a place. All you need is willingness, devotion, humility and heart felt love. The love is the essence. It makes one humble, devotional and it changes into worship on its own.

Divinity

Everyone says they have divine knowledge. No one has divine knowledge or divine wisdom. Every religion claims to have the divine knowledge. No religion has the divine knowledge. Divine knowledge and divine wisdom is the feeling which cannot be put on paper. It can only be felt. It is the sadness of separation which can be put on the paper and that is described in some scriptures. Some scriptures carry only the stories about the human code of conduct. To become divine is to straighten the mind. Your devotion is your guide. It requires humility, love and self surrender! The final step is the enlightenment by the true guru’s touch. Love entices the mind. There are two types of love, the first one is the one which starts and the beloved is in a form or shape. This love gets deeper and deeper by missing. Finally, when the beloved is realized, the enticement ends. So does the love. The second type of love is eternal love. Because God does not come in any shape or form! Once you fall in love with God, it keeps enticing. You never see your beloved in any form or shape. Just imagine through the guru. When the devotee starts to miss God devotionally and sincerely then God unites the devotee with the guru. Then the devotee starts to see God through the guru. That is why some scriptures say that the guru is God. In essence he is God’s representative in human form. So the devotee misses God even more than before. There is nothing to see, that is why it never ends. Finally this body has an end, it ends missing him and the soul becomes eternal. In normal progression of life the mind guides the brain and the body. To acquire the divine knowledge and ultimately divine wisdom, the process is reversed. The body and the brain have to guide the mind and the soul. Whatever process any one uses to achieve this becomes divine. Be stable minded, determined, humble and recite God’s name through guru’s teachings. Keep saying God God day and night without fail and expect nothing in return. More you say more you enjoy and start becoming humble and fall in love with the guru the God. Remember; your previous deeds follow you all the time. You have to erase those through guru’s teachings. It is written in your fate. Do not forget; you only get what you earn; nothing less nothing more. Divine knowledge or divine wisdom cannot be taught. It is only learned through love and devotion through guru’s teaching. If the devotee is not interested, the guru cannot teach. The body has two type of thinking. The first one is from the brain, which all the worldly scholars have in abundance. They are taught to reason out and they need a proof and satisfaction. Then only, they will listen to guru’s teachings. They cannot imagine of sincerity devotion and love. This is their profession. That is why; there are no divine writings by any worldly scholars or professors. God created everything. So he is the father of all. To argue with the father about your birth is just an argument, does not attain anything. That is what the scholars do? They cannot attain divine knowledge because they have the highest ego of dissecting others. The second one is from the mind. The soul the God abides in the mind. It is as sacred as God and it is God. That is why God is omnipresent. The mind is childish, fickle. The mind is gentle, the mind can become divine. It guides the brain and the body to do different deeds, some good some bad. That we carry with us unconsciously. The soul in the mind knows whatever one does and records it. This mind cannot be controlled and straightened up any other way, but through guru’s teaching. After all, to become divine is just to straighten the mind. There is no other way than the guru to straighten the mind and bring on Godly path and make it divine. Remember, you only get what you earn. Do little and ask for a lot. It cannot happen. It does not happen with any employer on the earth; how can it happen in God’s realm, who sets up everything and guides. Whatever rules of code of conduct apply in this world, come from God’s realm. The same rules apply there as well. The world runs controlled by one rule strung on one thread. If there were more than one rule, the world will fall apart. Especially if a human being can change anything, will change it and break the functioning of the universe. O my mind you came into this world to take advantage of your thinking power, to go back to where you came from. Why are you so immersed in the evil worldly deeds? The guru is the image of God. Guru is the messenger of God. Guru recites God. Serve that guru, who guides you to recite God. God bestows salvation, but the guru is the path of salvation. No one obtains salvation without the guru. Because God has surrendered this power to guru! Meet that guru who guides you to recite God. Serve that guru who has no ego. Serve that guru who guides you to eliminate ego. Serve that guru who is truthful. Serve that guru who guides you to be truthful. Guru the true guru does not think ill of anything. He guides you to be like him. Guru has no doubt and duality. He eliminates doubt and duality of his devotees. If the devotee has a way of reasoning or submission of proof, he is doubtful and full of duality. Religious rituals are also the cause of duality. He cannot serve and trust the guru. That is the fate of today’s scholars. If you talk ill of such a guru and abandon him, and later on you realize that you want to go and serve him again. He will accept you with open arms and guide you on the true path. That is duty and faith of the true guru. That guru, who has above qualities, is enlightened. That guru is a touchstone. If you are devoted to him, he will enlighten you as well. Once a devotee is devotional and worships the guru. He or she gets enlightened and becomes like him, because the lights merge and become one, so he also becomes the guru. In order to follow the path of the guru, you have to listen and enshrine his teaching in the mind. More you recite his teaching, closer you get to him. Finally when his teaching enshrine in your mind so much that you see the guru through the teaching. Then the teaching and the guru appear the same to the devotee. He starts to feel that the recitation of the teaching has become guru itself. That is called the guru and teaching as the same. The guru is the purest of the pure and he makes his true follower also pure. The guru is God in human form. He is enlightened. Like a diamond, he enlightens his follower as well. He knows the state of mind of the devotee. He enlightens the devotee only if the devotee is true and devoted to him. You only get what you earn. The salvation is achieved only through the living guru, because light only enlightens if there is light. Once the light is extinguished it cannot enlighten the darkness. Divine knowledge and religion are two different paths, although some scriptures may have divine wisdom written in it. The persons, who wrote the divine wisdom, became divine through the guru. People, who start to follow their teachings, start up a religion but in the form of a code of conduct. They are ignorant about divine rules and knowledge. They cannot understand divine path. So they practice human path and human code of conduct associated with some form of rituals. There is hardly any evidence of any religious people to be divine. There is hardly any spiritual writing of the so called religious scholars. There is no evidence of any preacher becoming divine. Preaching is their job. Who likes the job one performs daily? As the scholars say! There is darkness under the lamp. It is the innocent and ignorant with blind faith in the guru, who attains enlightenment and salvation through the guru.

Guru the true guru

Guru the true guru is that power which God worshipped to come into existence. Then by guru’s grace God created the creation. It is like a chicken and egg philosophy. The entire creation originated from one entity; that is God. When everything originated from God, that means God is part of everything. Doing so, He hid himself in the form of soul. God has the mother and child relation with his creation. There has to be a process by which the creation can meet its originator and merge with it. That process God bestowed to the guru in human form. The guru is divine. He recites God’s name and imparts God’s name to the devotees through his teaching. He is enlightened. He bestows enlightenment through touchstone philosophy. The guru is a burning light. The light can only enlighten if it is burning. If the light is extinguished, it cannot enlighten. The guru has to be a living guru to add culture to the devotee. The dead has no light and the dead do not speak. The guru is a flowing river, which cleanses all the filth and washes it away. The guru does not differentiate between the self-willed and the guru-willed. Whoever goes to guru’s refuge is accepted as a devotee without distinction. Remember you only get what you earn. He cannot enshrine divine wisdom in you on his own. You have to become worthy of it by worshipping and pleasing him. If you commit sins and slander the guru and then go to his refuge with love. He forgives the previous sins and accepts you as his own. It is his natural way. He has no ill will for anyone. He has no friends and foes. He is like a sandalwood tree. He spreads fragrance all around. Whoever comes close to him with love obtains the flavour. The guru is absolute, the guru is manifest. The guru the true guru is the father, the mother, a relative and friend and a sibling. My guru is my guru. My guru is God O God. The guru is God in human form. No one obtains salvation without the guru. It is the truth.

Devotee and saint

During the earlier ages the society was simple and everyone recited God’s name. He who recites God’s name is a devotee. By reciting God some got noted in the society and the society started to call them saints. The devotee, who recites God, is humble, without ego, and loves the guru the God, is called a saint. The time went on and both of them kept on reciting God and loved God and became divine. But in today’s age the devotee is still a devotee and recites God. But the saint, who got some recognition in human society, tends to change his course of life. He is proud of his deeds and achievements and has become egotistic. So the saint in today’s age has lost esteem in Godly terms but attained admiration in worldly terms. Anyone who obtains praises in the world and is proud of it is not a saint; he has left the divine path. He does not worship God any more. He wears religious robes and is proud of his name. All this takes him away from the Godly path. Some are designated saints by the human society that is not divine. How can non divine make some one else divine? The divine wisdom cannot be explained or comprehended. People who bestow the insignia of sainthood are not divine as well. Thus how the designated saint can be divine? The miracles are the insignia of today’s saints. In fact the miracles are the root of ego and duality. The ego and duality take one away from Godly path. There is no stamp from God on saint’s face. Therefore the today’s saint is getting away from Godly to worldly pleasure. But God’s devotee is still a God’s devotee. He recites God whole heartedly, humbly and is in love with guru the God, and attains salvation.

Pain of love

Pain of love won’t let you cry. You can’t cry, even if you try. It is special; one of a kind. Robs your soul, robs your mind. Robs you blind, and poke you in the eye. It has the feeling, one of a kind. Tricks your soul, pinches your mind. When it happens, makes you high. It’s in the back of your mind. See your love in dreams all the time. It doesn’t let go, even if you try. O beloved I love you very much, more
