NOTES About Today’s PODCAST
Kabir: “Without Bhakti [spiritual love] and devotion, nobody can swim across the vast and deep ocean of this samsara [sansaar, world of changes] even if one makes use of lakhs [thousands] of ways and means; but if one takes to the Word and develops love for Shabd [the Sound Current], one will one hundred percent go to his eternal abode.” (The Essential Kabir, M.G. Gupta translation)
The Ideal Vision For Living A Spiritual Life On Earth
Here’s a beautiful poem by the 16th century Mystic Sant Dadu Dayal of Rajasthan who outlined the Sant Mat vision of a spiritual life to be pursued during our time here on planet Earth:
“Recognize the Path to your Beloved, O travelers
and take the route of the anguished lover in separation.
Keep the Master’s grace in your thoughts,
and reflect on his pure teachings.
Develop love and devotion with endearment,
and keep the thought of the Creator always before you.
Try to merge yourself into God like water in water.
Fix your mind within by following the Path of the Sound Current.
A yearning will arise; make then an intense and anguished call.
Repeat the Name of your Beloved,
day and night,
again and again.
With care in thought, word and deed,
you will cross to the other shore.”
Someone asked: “How can one sit so still, repeat only holy names and think of God constantly?” Mataji serenely replied: “By falling in love, because when one is truly in love nothing but the Beloved can enter one’s mind. So the secret of Surat Shabda Yoga and of mysticism is not necessarily ‘practice and more practice,’ but love. To be so devoted to one’s Lord that nothing can stand in the way, this and nothing else is the truth of Sant Mat [The Teachings of the Masters].” (Enchanted Land)
“In Sant Mat [the Teachings of the Saints], great importance has been attached to Bhakti [love, devotion]; it is the sine qua non* of Sant Mat. If there are all other attributes but no Bhakti, then there is nothing.” (Maharaj Saheb) * sin-ny qua non – an essential condition; a thing that is absolutely necessary;
