rām na ramsi kawan dand lāgā, mari jaibai kā karibe abhāgā. koī tīrath koī mundit kesā, pākhand mantra bharam updeshā. vidyā ved padhi kare hankārā, antkal mukh phānke chhārā. dukhit sukhit hoi...

    Kabir’s Bijak (Spiritual Treasure Map), Shabda # 21:

    rām na ramsi kawan dand lāgā, mari jaibai kā karibe abhāgā. koī tīrath koī mundit kesā, pākhand mantra bharam updeshā. vidyā ved padhi kare hankārā, antkal mukh phānke chhārā. dukhit sukhit hoi kutum jewāwai, maranbār eksar dukh pāwai. kahahin kabīr yaha kali hai khotī, jo rahai karwā so nikrai totī.

    Meaning:

    You do not dwell in God! Unfortunately, what will you do when you die? Some people go to pilgrimages and some shave their heads. Some give false mantras and doubtful instructions.

    They study the Vedas [scriptures] and are full of ego. In the end they bite the dust.

    Through suffering and happiness you raise your family, but at the time of death you suffer alone.

    Kabir says that this is Kaliyuga, and it is full of evil. Whatever is inside the pitcher will come out from the spout.

    Commentary:

    In this shabda Guru Kabir is explaining to us that if we do not live in the love of God, we will die not having known the secret of life. God is our source and also our destination. If we do not know our destination then we are truly lost in this world. He mentions that in an effort to live a religious life, many people go to places of pilgrimages, and many shave their heads. Many of them give out doubtful instructions that do not give liberation to the seekers.

    Guru Kabir explains that many study the Vedas but are full of ego. At the time of death they bite the dust, which means they have died defeated. He further states that people, whether they are happy or suffering, raise their families, but in the end they die suffering alone, for no one can help them. Kabir says this is the Kaliyuga (Iron Age), and that it is full of evils. He, figuratively, explains that what is in the pitcher that is what will come out from the sprout. He really means to say that what people are deep within themselves that is what they will be at the time of death, and that is what will pursue them beyond death into another life. In this shabda Guru Kabir is explaining that in life we must practice simplicity, sincerity and purity. We must not be proud about what we are, nor should we follow practices that are of no practical value in terms of spiritual development. Realize that God dwells within, and go within to find God. All external practices can be great obstacles towards reaching that spiritual goal which all religious people seek.

Brief Summary of Teachings of Sant Mat, The Path of the Masters

* All souls (jivas) are in essence drops of love from the Ocean of God.

* The attachment and association with mind and body makes the soul lose sight of the real Self.

* God assumes the form of a Saint (Sant Sat Guru) to lead the soul back to its Original Home.

* One must surrender one's entire being to the Ocean of Love of which we are a part, instead of limiting ourselves to sensual pleasures which leave us unhappy and discontented.

* This can be done by the practice of Surat Shabd Yoga [Inner Light and Sound Meditation].

* By attuning oneself to the Life Current which proceeds from the Heart of Anami Purush [God, The Nameless One/Radhaswami] in the form of Light and Sound, one can finally achieve union with the True Self, finding the joy one is seeking. (R.S. White Paper on Religion of Sants and Radhasoami Faith)

* Consider the following as the requirements to attain liberation:

1) Trust and belief in God;

2) Commitment to seek the Divine within;

3) Devotion to a living spiritual master;

4) Listening to the teaching of the spiritual discourse including study of the teachings of the saints and the scriptures; and,

5) Diligent meditation practice. (Swami Sant Sevi Ji Maharaj)
