A Few Words

What is spiritualism? The people seem to have associatedspiritualism with Sargun and Nirgun forms of worship

alone. However, what do the Sargun as well as the Nirgun

Stand for? Dadu Dayal ji says

Koi Sargun Mein Reejh Raha, Koi Nirgun Thehraey.

Atpat Chaal Kabir Ki, Mujhse Kahi Na Jaey.

Some are entangled in Sargun while others areentangled in Nirgun. However, it is difficult for me to

say anything about the moves of Kabir.

Sargun means that which we can see with our eyes

whereas Nirgun is that which is formless and cannot be

seen with eyes.

I had a chance to have some dialogue with a Nirakaar

worshiper. I asked him what Nirakaar stood for. He said

that they took the five elements as destructible and so

didnt worship them.

They worshipped the One who is formless (Nirakaar).

I asked him what he meant by Nirakaar. Pointing to the

space in-between his hands, he said, This is Nirakaar. I

asked him what he meant by Sargun. He said that all thethings made out of the five material elements were

Sargun. I asked him what he meant by the five elements.

He said that water, earth, air, fire and sky were the five

elements. I said, The element earth is understandable. We

walk on it. The element fire is also understandable. We

light it. The element water is also understandable. We useit for drinking etc. Likewise, the element air is also

understandable. We breathe in it, but tell me about the

element sky. His reply created laughter. He said that the

word itself is the sky. I said that which he is seeing in-

between the two hands is the element-sky.


5/127


What is word? Two things are involved in our act of

Speaking. These are Air and Earth. When you close your

teeth and fists, you will hear the echo-like sound. It

means, the musical sounds emanate due to the contractionof the nerves, this is, so to say, the process related to the

movement of our body. Kabir Sahib has never described

these sounds as God.

These are unreal, imaginary and misleading. I told

the fellow that taking the element sky as word was

incorrect. Since the sky is the fifth element, it means, youare worshipping the fifth element. Those indulged in the

worship of the outward objects are taking their mode of

worship as related to spiritualism. So to say, the idol

worshippers as well as the worshippers of the Nirakaar

(formless) are calling their respective modes of worship as

spiritual.

Those are certainly not related to spiritualism in any

way. What does our soul look like? What activities does it

perform? What is its relation to the body? At what point?

did it come under the control of the mind? How did it

begin to take itself as the body? How can it free itself

from the body as well as the mind? The awareness about

all this is called as spiritualism.

6 Sahib Bandgi

Seek a Complete Guru, Real Satguru

Whenever we talk about Guru, a common statement of anIndividual that, the presence of a Guru is already there in

his life and he cant shun that Guru for attaining the

shelter of another Guru which in his own terms is the

biggest sin of life. He considers it same as that of an

example of a married woman who is living with her

husband and at the same time is having relation with

another womans husband.

Now, for a moment let us give a deep thought into that

thinking while comparing it with the true worship of

Supreme Lord. A question arises that: Are you truly

worshiping your own husband (Supreme Lord/Sahib of

eternal Satlok) or someone elses husband? Sahib Ji has

never marked the worship of Niranjan, Adhya Shakti,Tridev, Siddh, Muni, Formless God, and God with Form,

Gods-Goddesses, Brahm, Paar Brahm, Idols, Om, Hari,

Har, Ram, and Krishan as the true worship of Supreme

Lord (Sahib). In reality none of the above is your true

husband (means that no soul is worshiping its true

Supreme Lord) and all are having relation with someoneelses husband because the worships to the above said

deities are in true sense is the worship of Kaalpurush

(Mind/God of Death and destruction).

So, now you decide about holding onto the shelter of

such a Guru who is leading you and guiding you towards

building up a relation with someone elses husband who inreality is not your own husband. It means that a Guru

himself does not know about the true husband (Supreme

Lord). How can you expect from such a Guru that he will

help your soul in building up the true relation with your

own Supreme Lord (Sahib) i.e. how can a soul of a being


7/127


attains oneness with true Supreme Lord where every being

is engaged into the worships of different gods-goddesses

which in reality has no relation with soul. Only a real

Satguru knows about the true husband of a being who willdefinitely lead you towards attaining the everlasting

relationship with Supreme Lord, who is the husband of all

the souls (by considering every soul as wife and Sahib

as husband just to clarify the irrational thinking of the

beings).

Jab Tak Guru M iley Nahin Saacha,

Tab Tak Guru Karo Dus Paancha.

1. Supreme Lord- Sahib

Right from the very beginning of this universe,

man has been engaged in the search of that Super-power,

which he believes, is the controller of this entire cosmos.

After all, why has man been so much curious to know and

to realise the supreme Lord

There are four main reasons behind all this

1. In reality, the soul felt, it had got separated

from someone. It couldnt understand as to whatit lacked. It is this feeling that made it go in

search of the Lord.

2. The sorrows and sufferings of the world and the

fear of death encouraged him to move in search of

eternal pleasures and immortality. Thus, he

moved in search of Lord for attaining these objects.3. On seeing the sun, the moon and the stars etc.,

he felt that it was not an ordinary phenomenon.

There must be some super-power that has

created all this. This thought made him move in

search of Him.

4. With the passage of time, as man gained

consciousness, he thought that the life doesnt

end with the death of this physical

body. There is some such element in man that

remains alive even after death. Thus, knowing

that the soul is immortal, man began to make a

search of supreme Lord-Sahib.

Just as man has continuously been trying to knowmore and more about the solar system, he has been trying

to know more and more about Sahib as well.

The devotion and worship of Sahib had begun right

from the vedic era. On being influenced by the charming

and beautiful sceneries of natural objects, man began to


9/127


worship them. Some thought that water was the sustainer

of life because life without it was impossible and as such,

they began to worship water itself. Likewise, some began

to worship fire; some began to worship the earth and theair while others began to worship the sky taking it as the

most powerful object. Thus, man began to worship the

objects of nature in different ways.

The people had great devotion and regard for the

vedas because these were the oldest scriptures of the

world. Finding different viewpoints about God in thevedas, man also began to accept His presence according to

different viewpoints. In vedas, the different concepts

about God are as under

According to Rig-Veda, God is formless.

According to Yajurved, God has a definite form.

According to Athrav ved, performance of actions and

deeds alone is God while according to Samved, the soul

itself is God. Being complex in nature, it was not in the

power of all to understand them. Therefore, the

philosophers produced six shastras out of these four vedas.

The sage Gautam Rishi produced Nyaya Shastra from

Rig-veda; Sage Jaimini produced Mimansa Shastra from

Yajur ved; Sage Vyas Muni produced Vedant Shastrafrom Samved while the sage Kapil produced Sankhya

Shastra from Athrav Ved. From Athrav Ved itself sage

Patanjli produced Yog Shastra while the sage Kanad

produced Vaisheshak Shastra. As different sages produced

these shastras, there was some difference in their

viewpoints. These sages dont appear to agree to a singleviewpoint. That is why the Nyaya Shastra describes man

as subordinate to actions and deeds. According to it, not a

single leaf even can make any movement without the will

of God.


10/127

10 Sahib Bandgi

Mimansa Shastra has accorded prime place to deeds and

actions. According to it, man attains the form of life after

his death as per his deeds. Vaisheshak Shastra also says

the same thing. Nyaya Shastra considers the soul itself asGod. It says, It is I who is Brahm (God) himself. In Yog

Shastra, importance is given to Yog itself. According to it,

the jiva will cross the ocean of births and deaths only after

knowing the God particle. According to the Sankhya

Shastra, the Soul as well as supreme Purusha is in no way

attached to the material world. Everythinggood or badisnothing but illusion. Neither the soul does any action nor

does it reap any fruit. To have knowledge of God, we shall

have to keep our soul separate from mind.

One Shastra describes God as having a form; the

other describes Him as formless while the third one

attaches the highest importance to Karma. In this way, all

are trying to present His identity according to their own

viewpoints. Kabir Sahib says that the contradictory

viewpoints presented through these shastras have

prevented man from knowing the true identity of God.

For the whole of humanity there has to be one God.

Then why are we having different Gods. Lets turn our

attention to the identity of God that is acceptable to amajority of people. The main religions of the world throw

a flood of light on this subject.

The Christians take God as formless. Jesus has

repeatedly described God as his worldly father and

himself as His only son.

Muslims also believe that God is formless. Theycall Him as Bechoona God (formless God) and thus accept

His identity as that of a formless super-power.

Our Hindu religion also accepts that God is

formless though His identity as a super-power with form

(Sagun) has been gaining more importance. Those


11/127


associated with Arya Samaj take Him as Nirgun

(formless). The people of the Vedic era also took Him as

formless and the viewpoint that God appears on earth in a

physical body for the good of His devotees seems to be adevelopment of the post-vedic era.

According to Buddhism, the soul itself is God. In

the Ashtang Yog of Mahatma Buddha, there is no mention

of God. Therefore, this religion cant be included in this

ongoing discussion about the identity of God. However,

this much is clear that a majority of people take God asformless. Even in our Hindu religion, many people who

accept God as a super-power with a definite form also

accept His formless identity. Nevertheless, they hold that

for the purpose of devotion and worship His identity with

a definite physical form seems to be appealing and

comfortable.

Koyi Sagun Mein Reejh Raha, Koyi Nirgun Thahraye.

Atpat Chal Kabir Ki, Mujh Se Kahi Na Jaye.

Dadu Dyal Ji

Some are absorbed in the worship of Sagun while

others are absorbed in the worship of Nirgun, but

strange are the moves of Kabir Sahib. I dont find

myself in a position to describe these.What have these Sants been saying? We shall have

to listen to what they say and will have to ponder over it

as well. The Sants describe God as a super-power that is

far from the concept of God as being with some definite

form or without form. None had earlier said so. Is their

description of God contrary to what the scriptures say?Are they denouncing our vedas and puranas? Certainly

not! They are rather saying

Kau Kahey Ved Ko Jhutha, Voh Jhutha Jo Ved Na

Vichara.


12/127

12 Sahib Bandgi

Who says the Vedas contain false descriptions. In fact,

a liar is he who doesnt go deep to understand the

Vedas.

In fact, there is close proximity between the SantMatt and the Ved Matt because both hold identical views

in many respects. Vedas at the end sayNeti-Netithat is,

they cant say what lies beyond. moreover, the Sants

deserve compliments for throwing light on what lies

beyond. In fact, where the Ved Matt stops, the Sant Matt

makes its beginning.Today, we find the holy Sants everywhere.

However, the present day Sants are saying nothing of the

sort our Sants of the past said. Why is it so? It will be

enough to say in this context that all the Sants cant be the

real ones. None can become a Sant simply by associating

the word Sant or Satguru with his name. Today, the

religious teachers and preachersbe they associated with

Sagun or Nirgun form of worshipare trying to associate

themselves with Sant Matt. Doing so, they are perhaps

trying to spread confusion and darkness in the path of

truth-Sathya- Bhakti.

Our God (Param Purush) is far away from the

Sagun as well as Nirgun. Words cant describe His trueidentity. He is the rarest of the rare and the most

wonderful supreme Lord.

2. Soul is under Imprisonment

Hai tako jane nahi, nahi ko karey maan.

Kahani kabir pukari key, so nastic agyan.

Yogi bada ki yog baad, gyaata bada ki gyey.

Drushta bada ki drushya baad, bhedi bada ki bhey.

Kabir baat adwaith ki, sant virodhi an.

Vimukh hoi satsang tey, chahey nij kalyan.

Kabir indari tey hey nahi, hua na kabhi hoi.

Tako indari gyaan kari, pawan chahey loy.Nirgun sagun kari jiv ko, maney murakh soi.

Nirgun sagun yaha deh ko, lakshan jano doi.

No one is able to realise that principle and they

are chasing the unreal thing, which keeps them ignorant.

Enquire as to whether yoga is higher or the person

practicing is higher! Receiver of wisdom is higher or theone imparts wisdom is higher! Seer is higher or seen is

higher? The secret is higher or the one who is unreal in the

secret is higher. Even though it is unknowable through

Indriyas yet people try to realize through senses of

perception (indriyas). Fools refer Atma tatva as Sagun and

nirgun aspects and believe so. However, both these are

aspects of body.

Shabd karavey sadhna, shabd na chinhe jay.

Yog jap jap adi lo, marey kamay kamay.

People die pursuing japa, tapa and shabd sadhna,

meditations doing meritorious acts but not knowing the

genesism of soundless sound (Saar shabd), people end up

without realizing the Atmic principles.This way, without knowing the principle of Atma,

people live in ignorance. Sahibji says

Kya hua vedo key padhne se, na paya bhed ko.

Atma janey bina, gyaani kehlata nahi.

Jab talak vishayo se, yaha dil door ho jata nahi.


14/127

14 Sahib Bandgi

Tab talak sadhak bechara, chen sukh pata nahi.

Kar nahi sakta hai, jo ekagrah apni vrutiya.

Usko sapne mey bhi, parmAtma najar aata nahi.

What is the meaning of Atmic wisdom?Atamgyaan bina nar bhatke, kya Mathura kya kashi.

Where did the Atma go? It is important to know.

What does the shastra say about Atma? Whatever

has been said is it realisable? All agree that Atma is

eternal. Ramayana says-

Ishwar Hansh jiv avinashi, Chetan amal sahaj sukhrasi.Atma is eternal. It is complete truth. Speaking of

Atma, scriptures describe Atma as blissful (Aanadmaiee),

free from the dirt (Nirmal), pure, eternal, and changeless.

Why it is so? Where from such good qualities centered

into Atma? Atma is an aspect of Parampurush. You will

notice your traits in your children. Similarly, Atma has

such natures. Atma is beyond description, permanent and

eternal. This means Atma is very unique. Ordinary man

does not know what Atma is! This is the reason why he

wishes to know Atma. Whenever you see someone, first

you see an individual Body. This is a form of elements,

which disintegrates with time. For this very reason, it

cannot be Atma. When the aged people die, they arecremated or left in rivers or buried or burnt. This way the

body disintegrates. There is no need to prove this. Body is

not permanent, but looking at the body everybody thinks

that it is himself.

Secondly, who assume this Individuality? Some are

peaceful, some are angry, some are serious and some aredisturbed. Nevertheless, Atma is free from all traits (guna

theet). That is why individuality is not the nature of Atma.

Everyone lives with body consciousness. When we

look at their actions, it is not of atmic nature. Some are

engaged in agriculture and some in employment.


15/127


Kahey kabir kisey samjau, sab jag andha.

Ek dui hovey unhey samjau, sabhi bhulana pet ka dandha.

In this world, everyone is engaged in

sustenance of body and accumulation of wealth. What ithas to do with Atma. It is irrelevant to Atma.

Every individual in this world is engaged in

seeking food. When we look at person, in all what we get

to see? Atma is not visible. In the day-to-day activities of

people, there is no evidence of Atma. It looks very

surprising. When you look at activities of people, you cansee physical as well as subtile activities.

Ek na bhula, do na bhuley, jo hai sanatan so hi bhula.

All are living in forgetfulness. This is not the

matter of today. Since time immemorial, Atma is stuck in

this same condition only. Jiv pada bahu loot mey, nahi

kuch len na denn. Does death have anything to do with

Atma? If we enquire, even shastras says, Atma without

any reason is under illusion. What is the reason for this

state? What is the mistake of Atma? You are not here

today. You are here since many lives. Scriptures also say

so. Just think, Lord Krishna said Oh! Arjuna, we have

taken many births. All that I remember, but you dont

remember. Just as we replace old cloth with new one,Atma also based on accumulated karma (actions), chase

the body. From this, it is evident that Atma takes birth and

dies because of actions. Action (karma) is the reason for

birth and death. Individuals indulge in theft, cheating,

unlawful activities and unethical activities. All these

actions are not connected with Atma. Atma has no such abusiness. Atma is definitely bound and concealed by

someone.

Atma is bound in such a condition that it is unable

to realise itself and Atma would never like to do this sinful

deeds, which people perform. Atma has become


16/127


17/127


hell and heaven? Is heaven the home of Atma? Is

Paramatma (supreme god) seated in heaven? This is

deception on Atma. Sahibji says----

Chet saverey bavrey, phir piche pachtaye.Tujko jaana door hai, kahey kabir samjaye.

The heavenly beings (devta) desire a human life

on this earth. People of this earth do meritorious deeds

with the intension of reaching heaven. With great

difficulties leading a human life with meritorious actions,

people reach heaven after death. On reaching the heaven,they realise the greatness of human birth. They again take

a human birth in this world. Does it break free from the

wheel of birth and death? Meritorious actions are good but

it does not release you from birth and death.

All actions are performed for the bodily needs and

wants, but not for Atma. Some are engaged in farming.

Why are they so engaged? It will give harvest of grains to

feed their body. Is it not for the body they are engaged in

employment? They work for earning money and it is for

the bodily need. All these means actions are performed

only for the sustenance of physical body. People build

houses but it is not needed for the Atma. Atma is free

from the influence of weather, cold and warmth cannotinfluence or bind Atma. Atma does not depend on this and

it does not need a house! Shelter is needed for physical

body. For the sustenance of body, Atma is bound. Body is

illusion (maya). It indicates that Atma is bound by maya.

It means Atma is engaged in the duty of sustaining body.

Houses are built to take protection from weather andelements. What is there in a house? There is a kitchen.

What is it? It is a place for preparing food for this body.

When Atma does not eat anything, where is the need for

kitchen? What else is there in the house? Bathroom, for

bathing. Elements have no effect on Atma. Nevertheless,


18/127

18 Sahib Bandgi

this is also for the body. Then what is there in the house?

It is toilet, for what? For empting the stomach. Atma does

not consume food, it has no digestive system, and so it

does not need toilet. Then what is good in house?Bedroom, for what? for sleep? What does Atma need from

the bedroom? Atma is neither sitting, nor standing, nor

sleeping, nor running. It doesnt need rest. It means

bedroom is made for body. Now we have a drawing room.

It provides facility for seating. We have dining room, for

serving food. Then what else is there in the house? Onlythese are there. There is also a store in a house, for what?

Those item which are needed for body, for its safe keep.

With all this nothing happens to Atma. Nevertheless,

Atma has accepted that it is the body. This acceptance

itself is miserable but it also engages in such activities.

Whatever actions one performs, it is purely for ones own

body. What gain is achieved for engaging in all the

activities like acquiring a house, for seeking tasty food,

indulging in tricks, deception, cheating, fraud, violence,

etc? Why all these happens? Why all these good and bad

actions, sinful and meritorious deeds? Caught in act of

karmas. Body is the cause of actions (karmas) Sahibji says

beautifully. However, the karmic formula is very deep.Even after listening, people are unable to comprehend.

They think they understood but they are not able to

understand the essence of it.

Sahibji says in his words-----

Deh dharey ka dand hey, bhugtat hey sab koi.

Gyaani bhugtat gyaan se, murakh bhugtat roye.Sahibji says again----------

Aakhir yaha tan khaak milega, kaha firat magruri mey.

It is meant to be lost.

Yeh jag mey koi rehen na pavey, so nishchay kar jana.

Tan pinjarey se nikas jayega, pal mey pakshi praan.


19/127


One day we have to give up this maya born body.

It doesnt take much time to leave this body.

That is why; humans indulge in tricks, deception,

cheat, fraud, violence etc. to support the children. Forthese actions (karma), body is used. For the upkeep and

satisfaction of body, man is engaged in karma. Atma is

associated with this activity. Who directs this? With all its

purity, why Atma is engaged in action (karma). Body is

temporary and is dirty. Atma accepted this as permanent.

This is serious matter. All have taken themselves as bodyand leading their lives. All these means, the power that

binds Atma with the body is very powerful. The learned,

Rishis, Munis, all are bound with this karma. Even the

great intellectual are under its spell.

If we enquire with clarity, it is evident that for the

maintenance of body, everyone is engaged in karma. What

is the reason for taking the work, to earn money! Money

helps in finding the needs and wants of the body. People

build beautiful houses, for what reason? to shelter the

body. Why air-conditioning is done? For the comfort of

the body. The basis of karma is body. Everyone is

engaged in action (karma) for the sustenance of body. If

you probe on all activities, you will find that all activitiesare only for the body. It means that we are taken ourselves

as this body.

Jadh chetan hey granthi padh gayi.

Yadhyapi mitya chutath kahtinayi.

Where does the problem lie? What is the problem

between Atma and body? Why it does not reveal? Ifsomebody is handcuffed, to release him you open the

handcuff. If one has to detach Atma, one should know

where and how it is bound.

3. The Gross Body And The

Soul Have Developed A Knot

Atam Gyan Bina Narr Bhatke, Kya Mthura Kya Kashi.Without spiritual knowledge man has to wander in

places like Mathura and Kashi.

Knowledge means to know. It is very strange to find

that man hasnt been in a position to understand his own

self. He doesnt know about his own soul as well. Kabir

Sahib says

Kya hua Vedon ke padne se na paya bheid ko,

Aatma janey bina geyani to kahlata nahin.

The study of the Vedas is useless if one fails to know

the inherent secret. One cant be called as a learned

person if one doesnt have the knowledge of the soul.

It is the knowledge of the soul that can help man cross the

worldly ocean of life. This knowledge will enable us tounderstand the way our soul has been functioning in the

body. We shall also be able to know the forces within us

and the nature of work these have been performing. There

appears to be no evidence of spiritualism in all that man

has been doing. No spiritualism is to be found in all that

we see in the universe. Everywhere there seems to be theplay and glimpse of mind. We must remember that a soul

of ours is flawless and has nothing like lust, anger etc., but

it is the behaviour of man that doesnt show any sign of

soul. He has not been in a position to know the source of

his vices.

Kabir Sahib has saidPoison and nectar are to be found side by side. The

poisonous elements are also to be seen inside the body.

These have nothing to do with the soul. The nature of this

soul is altogether different. Man doesnt know as to who is

running the administration of this body. While thinking


21/127


over it, we feel as if some unspiritualistic thing is

happening. In Yog Vashishath Maha Ramayan,

Vashishath Muni tells Ram that a devotee, after attaining

spiritual knowledge, can cross the worldly ocean. Ramjiasks him as to what is the special thing about soul, the

realization of which enables one cross the worldly ocean.

Vashishath Muni says that the knowledge of the soul

makes man understand well that no material object of the

world is of any use to him. He also realizes that none of

the worldly objects can reach his soul. All his doubtsvanish in a manner the misunderstanding of taking the

rope as a snake vanishes after realizing the truth. The fear

gives rise to sorrows and pains but the knowledge of truth

removes all these. The fear also runs away. Then even if

man tries to take the rope as a snake, he wont feel afraid.

Likewise, the awareness of the soul makes the existence

of the world meaningless. The existence of the worldly

objects is due to ignorance alone. What is ignorance? It is

the state of having no knowledge. Every man is living a

life loaded with some or the other thing. All are living a

life of greed and attachment and are making desires and

taking decisions for fulfillment of the same.

Wherefrom did this ignorance come? Every one of usfeels hot during summer and cold during winter. Everyone

breathes in the same manner. The body of everyone is

made of the same five material elements. The 25 forms of

these five elements are present within everybody.

Hunger, thirst, sleep, laziness etc. are all due to these

very five elements. Likewise, the four forms of mind arealso to be found within all. It is called as mind itself when

it makes some desire. Its second form is intellect. Its

function is to make a scheme for the fulfillment of the

desire. The third form is


22/127

22 Sahib Bandgi

chitt (remembrance) that recollects. The fourth form is

ego. It is responsible for all the activities being performed

by us. Again, the vices like lust, anger etc. is also to be

found in everyone. The mind is at work in the body but wehave to know as to how it has been working. If we feel

angry, the soul also gets involved in it. Why is the soul

obeying all the dictates of mind? The knowledge about all

these things is called as the knowledge of the soul.

Sometimes, we do such acts as we feel are in no way

related to the soul and so feel repentance afterwards. Itmeans some power first makes us do such acts. Suppose

the anger directs us to beat some fellow. This message

soon reaches the brain. Why is the soul actively

participating in all this when it is pure and flawless? Why

is it supplying the needed energy in the performance of

such acts as go against its nature?

All the tasks that are being performed by us are for the

satisfaction of the bodily needs alone. These are not being

done for the sake of the soul that has no need of its own.

Clearly, our mind is misleading it.

Kabir Sahib says that it is the mind itself that is our

enemy. Out of ignorance, the soul has taken itself as the

body and herein lays the flaw. It has been taking the actsof making desires and working for their satisfaction as its

own, though these are in no way related to it.

Goswami ji has beautifully said

Jadd Chetan Hai Granthi Padd Geyi.

Yadyapi Mithya Chhootath Kathineyi.

The gross body and the soul have developed a knot.Though it is an unreal one, yet it is not being untied.

The sufferings surfaced right from the time the jiva

adopted the body. It has been forced to take itself as the

body and to discharge all the functions that are necessary


23/127


for the satisfaction of the needs of the latter. That is why

Kabir Sahib has said

Seyyad Ke Kabu Main Hain Sub Jeev Vicharey.

All the jivas are in the grip of the hunter (mind).The soul is immortal, it doesnt perish in any set of

circumstances. How can the devotees know the

appearance of soul? Your awareness can never perish and

this awareness itself is your soul. There are joints in our

bones but these are protected by the muscles on them. If

we look at the skeleton of bones, we shall find that thebones are separate though these appear to be connected.

Likewise, the soul and the body also have different

identities. Neither they are one nor will they ever be so.

So to say, the gross body and the soul have

developed a knot. How did our soul become the body?

There is need to seek an answer to this question.

I am of the opinion that all the people of the world

are alike. They differ in no respect at all. Some are black,

some are white, some are fat, some are thin, and someone

has a curved nose and so on. Nevertheless, how did all this

happen? All the living beings have the same kind of

sperms. God has made all of them alike. Just as all have

the same soul, likewise, the seed in them is also the same.Then what is the reason behind the different visible

physical appearances. The scientists have not been able to

understand it. They will, perhaps, understand what I am

saying after a lapse of 50 years or so. At present, it is

difficult for them to reach that state. All that I am saying is

very much correct. The seed of all the human beings is thesame. There is not even an iota of difference in that. All

the species of dogs have the same seed. All the crows

have the same seed and this is true of all the sparrows as

well.


24/127

24 Sahib Bandgi

Now the question arises as to how the sperms in the semen

are alive. According to the scientists, there is a system

near the testicles which produces the sperms. Their

thinking is wrong and they have been misled at this point.Why were they misled? They took the very place of the

appearance of the sperms as the place of their formation.

The truth is somewhat different. To cite an example, the

vinegar is taken as good for the body. After putting the

juice of cane sugar in a pitcher and closing its mouth with

a tight cloth, it is placed in the sun light. It is placed in thesun because it is the heat that produces the insects. They

have their definite existence but they grow and develop in

the material that is formed because of heat. On opening

the lid of the pitcher after a period of about 20-25 days,

there appear bacteria with length equal to that of the

Basmati rice. They are alike. None is different from the

other. This is because they received the same kind of food.

As per their nature, they do not let any other organism to

live along with them and make their own generation

flourish. On reaching within the body, they kill other

kinds of bacteria and as such serve as a tonic for the

stomach. The vinegar is beneficial for a person who

doesnt find relief from any other medicine. However, Idont allow its production in the Ashram as corers of jivas

are killed in a painful manner in the process involved. All

that remains behind after filtration is thrown out and as a

result, they die in large number.

Likewise, the sperms develop in the semen, but the fact

is that they were already there in a very subtle form. Theyonly received heat from within the body. The scientists are

not wrong in their approach but they dont seem to know

the secret beyond. That which is awakened, cant be

produced from that which is gross.


25/127


Those bacteria were alike. They became different

because they received different kinds of food. They were

in the Ukmaj yuni (the species of insects etc.) at that time.

These bacteria have hardly a life of 3 days. There are suchmicroorganisms in the world that have a life of one hour

only. Within this 1hour, they grow, reproduce, become old

and die.

I know the secrets related to astronomy as well.

Neither I am saying all this out of ego nor am I indulging

in any sort of self-praise. Again, when I say that thatwhich I possess is not to be found anywhere else in the

world, I say it based on my self-confidence and awareness

and certainly not based on any ego.

Therefore, the differences that developed in them were

due to the different kinds of diet alone. Some fed on sweet

diet, others on sour one and so on. They did not know

what kind of diet was beneficial for them. For instance,

the diet that is sour in taste is harmful for the semen. If

you watch carefully, you would find that the way of

Laughing as well as weeping of every human being is the

same. In addition, the way of crying and expressing love

is also the same.

Therefore, in the body of the father those sperms werefeeding on semen and that which was the wisest of all,

succeeded in reaching the baby tube and developed into a

human form? All others died. They had to die. However,

why didnt the one that reached the womb of the mother

die? This is because there was some definite system there.

The blood of the mother helped it grow and develop. Theothers couldnt survive because they failed to move

further. This is just like the case of a fish that lives alive in

water but dies if the water freezes.

Likewise, all are alike in Satlok. The children of the

same parents are different because in case of the birth of


26/127

26 Sahib Bandgi

every child, the diet was somewhat different from the diet

of the rest. It is this difference in diet that is responsible

for the difference in colour, size and structure.

I also want to tell about my thinking regarding thesaints. I have a very high regard for them. However, I

advise you to be cautious because though many of them

got absorbed in Sahib, yet it is a fact that they were, at

first, the worshippers of Kaal Niranjan. Anyone can be

misled by the mention of Nirakar and Niranjan in the

sayings of Guru Nanak Dev, but it must be rememberedthat at that time he was the worshipper of Niranjan.

However, that what he said afterwards is known to very

few. The same is the case with other saints. I have never

worshipped Niranjan. Here we part ways. In the

beginning, Mira Bai also said, Merey to Girdhar Gopal

and any common man can be misled by these. Soor Dass

has also repeatedly made use of the word Girdhar. So,

knowingly or unknowingly, the sayings of the saints have

been the causes of making people go astray. That is why I

ask you to be alert and cautious.

So, like the micro-organisms, which are alike in all

respects, there comes a stage when the guru as well as the

disciple also loses their separate identities and you wontbe able to distinguish one from the other.

Sada Anand Hoat Hai Va Ghar, Kabhun Na Hoat Udasa.

There are always joys and pleasures in Amarlok. No

Sorrow or suffering is to be found there.

Further, none knows about the Quran Sharif to the extent I

know. No Maulvi has a full knowledge of the visits HazratMohammad made to the seven skies. This is because they

have never been to these places and so fail to give a clear

explanation. Often I visit those places and so have a

complete knowledge about these. When I ask about the

way he went, they say that it was the gospels who took


27/127


him there. It was, in fact, the holy word that took him

there.

Likewise, I say none has knowledge of the holy Bible

to the extent I know. Isa Masih has talked of his heavenlyfather. I have the factual knowledge of him and I am not

saying it out of ego.

I also know about the spiritual element Budha talked

about and the Ashatang Yog that the monks quote. The

monks do not have the real knowledge about it, as they are

talking based on scriptures while I am talking based onmy actual experience. I see the same form of soul at this

as well as at that place.

If some cheat of your village takes the job of a Panda

(priest) at some other place, you would easily recognize

him. In the same manner, I can see all this clearly. I ask

you to believe in what I say because there is none to

bear witness to all that I say. The soul has not lost its

appearance. Even you can see it.

How did Niranjan create the seed? both man and the

dog have the same seed. Both are alike. The scientists will

be startled at this. The form of body will depend on the

form of womb. The sperms of the dog, fly, mosquito, hen

etc. are alike. None has ever said so. I am saying it andcan prove it as well. Everything takes the form of the

frame into which it is put. If we take the ice cream is

round in form, it simply means the frame into which it

was put was round in shape. Likewise, the jiva is made to

move into 84 lakh species with different forms. If the

frame is that of monkey, even if the sperm is that of a dog,it will take the form of a monkey and not that of the dog.

Still the scientists are at a loss to understand all this.

Amarish Rishi was the son of a bear but had the form

of a man. A woman had been taken away by the bear. The

bear keeps the woman for satisfying its sexual desires. It


28/127

28 Sahib Bandgi

makes her senseless by licking her feet. The dog also

approaches the woman to smell her. Its smelling power is

very high. Hanumanjis appearance is that of man but his

features resemble with that of a monkey. Kakbhushundihad the body of a crow but his knowledge was that of

man. Ghatorkachh was born from the womb of a demon

but the sperms there were that of Bhima which resulted

into his particular form. The semen is formed out of blood

and the sperms feed on the semen and then grow and

develop into the fetus, which feed on blood in the mother.All this is clearly, the proof of blood relation that goes

from one generation to the next and so on.

Now the question arises as to how did a knot between

the soul and the body develop. Can we see this knot? How

did the soul become the body? Can we see it? Certainly,

we can do so. I will tell you how. The soul remains in its

own form up to the Agya Chakra (medula plexus). From

here it comes down to the navel through the medium of

breath. That is to say, the awakened one is breathing. It is

from here that the process of breathing started and the

formation of the body took place. That is to say, the

awakened one (chetana) is present there in a formless

manner but the process of breathing turned it into anawakened body. In addition, this knot will get untied in a

manner it developed. That is why Kabir Sahib has said

Ida Pingla Sushuman Sum Karey,

Aradh Aur Uradh Vich Dheyan Lavai.

Kahein Kabir So Sant Nirbhey Hua,

Janam Aur Maran Ka Brahm Bhanay.A sant who creates a unison among Ida, pingla,

Sushumna and fixes his concentration at a place in-

between the sky and the earth, becomes fearless.

Moreover, all his misconceptions regarding the cycle of

birth and death are removed.


29/127


4. There Is None But He (Niranjan) Is

Between You and MeHow can we attain that ultimate reality? This is the

question that Dharam Dass ji asked Kabir Sahib. There is

need to have an understanding of worship and devotion.

Bhakti Bhakti Sub Jagat Bakhana.

Bhakti Bhaid Koyi Birla Jana.

Everyone is talking about worship but it is some raredevotee who knows the secret related to it.

It means there is a need to know, the technique of

worship. I think none will have so much love for others as

the followers of our panth have. When some sage comes

after a period of one or two years, the audience turns up

there in large number. However, these include somewanderers and others as well who are not even distantly

connected with worship. On the other hand, there is no

such thing to be found in our panth. Here, it is the True

worship-Satya Bhakti that is talked about.

Even the cattle and birds understand the favorable and

unfavorable. On reaching Ranjri, when, from the rooftop,

I ask the Namis to do some particular kind of work, eventhe cows start speaking. They know that I take great care

of them. I ask the boys to go to the animals in case they

speak, as I know that they speak only when there is some

definite purpose for the same. One night, a cow was

crying aloud. All were to be fed in the morning but one

cow had freed itself from its peg and was feeding ongrass. The other cow was crying for attention to the fact

that that particular cow was taking the feed all alone.

One day, one cow was crying. The fan over its head

was not moving. Pointing towards the fan, it was saying as


30/127

30 Sahib Bandgi

to why it hadnt running. It was feeling hard. You

shouldnt take the soul as weak.

Why do you love your parents? Why do you bear

rebukes sometimes from them? This is because you takethem as your well-wishers. Even in old age, they appear

lovable. Likewise, if my followers have love for me, it is

simply because they know what they have received from

me.

A woman came and said, My buffalo has given birth

to a he-colt. Even after seven days, it hasnt given anymilk. The neighbors say that it is due to the effect of some

evil force, but my husband doesnt believe in all this.

Now, the question arises as to why the neighbors say so.

In earlier times, the people used to help each other

whereas now they envy each other. Such neighbours

simply try to mislead the disciples. Often those who after

getting blessed with Naam, They sever their ties with the

panth due to some misguidance, act as misguides to

others, but the question arises as to why did they sever

their ties with the panth. The only answer to this question

is that they found it difficult to give up their vices. They

find a sort

of satisfaction, though an unreal one, in misleading othersas well.

They desire that none other from the village should go

to Ranjri. I remember one incident of my school days.

One boy used to smoke a Bidi and he made other boys of

the class as well do the same. He used to smoke the pieces

of Bidi thrown away by others. He thought that if he didso all alone, he would have to bear the insult from the

teacher but if he made all others do the same, the teacher

would feel helpless. Such persons feel exhausted from

within though outwardly they appear to be enjoying


31/127


smoking. Ultimately, finding themselves in a mentally

disturbed state, they come to me.

Dont we see a thief enjoying tasty food alone but

also see him receiving kicks and slaps. If you do so, youwont think of making thefts. All that I say has some

weightage and so try to mould you accordingly. Only your

soul can understand all this. The people associated with

other panths are devoid of any sort of spiritualism. When

we talk of remembering some person, we mean to

recollect his structure of nose, eyes, ears etc. We also takeinto account his character as well. There is need to know

the soul in the same manner taking into account its

appearance as well as its nature. Our act of calling

someone as good or bad is also based on some recognized

scale of judgement.

Regarding the soul, we have to know whether it goes

to Satlok or not. Dharam Dassji asked Kabir Sahib

Kerni Yog Ki Rahni Vasa, Kaise Paun Lok Nivasa.

Have I to make some effort or you will take me across

the worldly ocean.

Our panth believes neither in Kriya yog (yog related

activities) nor in Karam Yog (performance of deeds,

Punya or Naam Kamayee etc.). None can attain thatultimate reality with the power of his mind, intellect and

the like. We say that it can be attained by the

grace of complete Guru-Satguru alone ( Moksa moolam

Guru Krupa).

I want to tell you the way the soul reaches Satlok. The

first thing that I want to tell you is that I have completeknowledge of the lokas I talk about. In the 21 lokas, there

is nothing like Karam Bhumi or Karam lok (the places or

abodes of Karmas). In all these lokas, the jivas go to reap

the fruit of their Karmas. Karmas are performed on the

earth. There is some definite reasoning in the desire of the


32/127

32 Sahib Bandgi

Gods, who wish to take the birth in human form. Not only

in heaven or hell but even in Dev lok there is nothing like

performance of Karmas.

The only place for the performance of these is thisuniverse. The human form has been called as the Naraini

chola (God-like form). The Shastras also speak much

about it. It is important to know that there is some special

system in this human body.

The seven Seas, the Rivers and Streamlets, the Moon,

the nine lakh Stars and even the 3 Lokas along with theCreator are to be found within it. That is to say, it is a

treasure house. You must be having doubt as to how you

will reach Satlok, but you have reposed your faith in me

and I assure you that you will certainly reach there. To

reach there, either you will have to remain absorbed in the

recitation of the holy Naam or you will have to keep full

faith in your Satguru.

Wherefrom do the insects appear during the rainy

season? Why dont they appear before it? Some say water

reaches their places of abode. It is not so, because they

make their houses at places which are not within the reach

of water. In addition, they make it in a slanting position.

The bird Beya builds its nest (a strong one) in a slantingposition in the month of March that falls 5 months before

the rainy season. All of the insects are ants. There are

1000 kinds of ants. The males among them are also of

different kinds. They come out during every rainy season.

Likewise, at the time of death, one attains a power and a

separate subtile body. I have no doubt about it. My Namishave full faith that they will go to Satlok after their

departure from this mortal world. Further, I want to tell

you that apart from us, there is none who can protect you

from the evil effect of the Ghosts and other evil spirits.

They are very powerful. They are, so to say, the younger


33/127


brothers of Yam Raj (lord of death). However, after being

blessed with Naam, they run away. Your faith in me is

sure to give you the results in this very life. Whole of the

creation is functioning under some system. Everyone hasmade one or the other spiritual journey during his lifetime

and has also seen a dream that appeared to be true. All of

you have, at one time or another, made a flight. This act of

flying is not a dream but a spiritual journey. There are six

bodies within your physical body. They perform their jobs

at different occasions. At the time of death, one attains abody that is called as Antvahik (inner) body. It has the

power to cover Arabs of miles in seconds. It can take you

where you like. With this principle in view, I have made

you follow the true mode of worship that will help you

attain salvation. At the last moment, you will reach where

your concentration has got fixed. Just as I make a visit to

some Ashram by bus, train or plane as per situation and

after blessing the devotees with Nam, leave for some other

Ashram, the same thing happens with you. All this goes

on under some definite system and setting.

Everyone knows that noble deeds take us to heaven

whereas the evil deeds take us to hell. Throughout his life,

man performs noble deeds to reach heaven. Likewise, youare also smoothing your way to reach Satlok. You are

refraining from taking meat and intoxicants, youre

spending of life as per the noble teachings and holding on

to only one mode of worship is nothing but your act of

making a road to reach Sat Lok. You arent taking wine,

as you are afraid that it would spoil the sanctity of yourworship.

Shastras also say that one will reach where one desires.

Kabir Sahib says

Ja Ki Aas Laag Rahey Jahnva,

Kahain Kabir Pahunchaon Tahnva.


34/127

34 Sahib Bandgi

Kabir Sahib says that he will take the Jiva to the Lok it

desires

You will have to lead a noble life if you have to go to

Sat Lok. If you watch T.V for the whole day and then talkof going to Sat Lok, you should feel uncertain about it.

This is because your concentration will be diverted. All

the worldly things are charmless. Therefore, you should

not try to seek pleasures in the world. No worldly thing

should attract you. Remain detached.

Love for any worldly thing will take you only there.Fix your concentration at your guru. You have to take

food and perform various jobs but your concentration

should not be oriented on them.

The thing, at which you concentrate, is your Guru

(Dhyna Moolam Guru Rupam ) and you will attain him.

Day and night people keep running after wealth. There

was a rich man. He was very greedy. He committed many

sins. Money makes one-commit sins. Nevertheless, one

day or the other, everyone has to depart from the world.

The rich man also departed from the world. Dharam Raj

asked Chitara Gupat to present an account of his deeds.

Considering the nature of his sins, he had to remain in hell

for thousands of years. However, he had served food to asage. Therefore, he had to remain in heaven for a hundred

years. The rich man was asked as to where he would like

to go first. He said that he would like to go first to the

place where there was some opportunity to gain some

money. This is called as greed, be cautious. The world is

unreal. Dont haveany attachment for it. It doesnt meanyou should go and live in a forest. Remain at home,

perform worship along with the performance of your

duties. You should live in the world in a manner the

tongue exists among the teeth in the mouth.

Love is not a thing to be centered at different places.


35/127


After having love for some particular object, you will not

be able to have it for any other object. I also say that you

should not have it for another object but Sahib. Two

swords can never be placed in a single sheath.Have firm faith in Sahib. Love is one and has to stay

at one place alone. I dont watch movies. In my childhood,

I had a chance to see the still films that were shown to

Villagers. There were no cinema halls then. Now the

cinema halls are losing their importance as the movies can

be watched on a T.V. as well. Those associated with thejob of film production have nothing to do with the good or

bad effect a film can have on the people. They are

concerned only with the money they have to earn. A

movie titled Pati-Patni and voh (husband, wife and some

third person) is an instance of this kind.

In spiritualism there is no place for anything like

Sahib, you and third person. Concentration at the Guru is

all that is needed. The saints have also tried to make the

people understand in the language of the masses.

Therefore, even while living in the world, a devotee can

realize his Sahib if he meditates on Him. Hindu religion

says that one should remain a bachelor. If one cant

remain so, one should get married. From 25-50 years ofage one can have an experience of the family life. After 50

years of age one should keep away from the normal

family life. After this age there will be less formation of

blood. 40 kg of food makes 1 kg of blood and one

consumes this food in a period of about 3 months. This 1

kg of blood produces 1 tolas of semen, which is lost in asingle sexual activity. That is to say, after this age only as

much blood is formed as is necessary for the functioning

of the body.

One should live this life up to the age of 75

years.After this age, both the husband as well as the wife


36/127

36 Sahib Bandgi

should move in the opposite directions to unknown places

and should live like sages. Keep engrossed in worship

without bothering about food etc. The society will provide

food to such sages. There is nothing like that to be foundtoday. So one should remain in the family with the spirit

of detachment and should remain absorbed in the worship

of God. This is because, after death, none will keep you at

home for a single night even. A certain boy brought his

mother to me and said that her body had become senseless

after being injected by the doctor. I asked him to serveher. After some days, he asked me telephone either to cure

her or to give her salvation. That is to say, he was directly

asking me to kill her. He got tired within a period of 10-12

days forgetting the troubles the mother had taken in

bringing him up.

Remember! only a devotee who has no desire of any

kind, is the real emperor. You should always be prepared

to depart from the world. This soul has adopted countless

bodies of different species. Sometimes, I see even the old

women with faces painted with cream, powder and the

like. There seems to be no justification for all this. The

bones of this body will burn like wood and the hair will

burn like grass.Kabir Sahib says that Kaal is hovering over our

heads. None knows when, where and how it will devour

us. A Nami of our panth didnt come to me for two

months. I asked him the reason thereof. He said that in

those two months he had to go to the graveyard 55 times

accompanying the dead ones. Out of those 55 persons,four or five were old while others were young. It means

about 10 % old and 90% young persons are departing.

These are called as premature deaths. This is not a good

signal. Therefore, you should remain absorbed in worship.

Always keep your concentration fixed at your guru. This


37/127


human body is invaluable. If you obey the dictates of your

mind, your soul will become devoid of awareness and

your precious life will go waste.

5. Mind-Maya Brought Back To The

Universe Even Those Rare Ones Who

Attained Brahm LokThere are great secrets inherent in this human body.

Certain incidents take place in the life of every man.Sometimes, he flies in his sleep while at other times he

reaches very strange places. Sometimes, he sees some

incidents of his previous life as well. Seeing all this, man

must have tried to attempt to move into his inner world. In

this scientific age, we are watching many new things

related to the outer world. In the spiritual world as well,we find many techniques related to meditation. Still there

seems to be no unanimity regarding the techniques of

attaining salvation. All this has given birth too many

panths and religious philosophies. Some take going to

heaven itself as the attainment of salvation.

. A question arises as to what salvation stands for. There isneed to know the real meaning of it. The word meaning of

salvation is to attain freedom. It means there is some

bondage from which we have to free ourselves. Can we

see these bondages? Which are the things that have kept

us in bondage? We simply take these things lightly and

never try to give a serious thought to salvation. It sounds

strange to find that even the intellectuals unable to know

the nature of these bondages. To know it means to gain

knowledge about it. When a patient goes to a doctor, the

latter first tries to diagnose the disease before giving the

prescription. Likewise, the soul can be freed from the

bondages only when we are able to know the nature of the


38/127

38 Sahib Bandgi

bondages it has been held in. every one of us, at least,

knows that the soul has been entangled in the grip of

Munn-Maya. Just as we can know from the look and talk

of a person about his illness and can know from hisclothes and eating habits whether he belongs to a poor or a

rich family, likewise, we can also see whether our soul is

in bondage or not. To see it, we shall have to first know

about the spiritual element. The Soul is a part of Param

Purush. Neither it takes birth nor it dies, nor does it suffer

from any kind of sorrow or suffering. Moreover, it is pureconsciousness that is beyond the reach of any of our

sensory organs. So the question arises as to which is the

power that keeping it in bondage. It is only some expert,

in the field of spiritual realization, who can impart us the

knowledge regarding it. The distinction between the body

and the soul is clearly visible. The body is full of dirt and

filth. Every pore of it is excreting the foul smelling

perspiration. All the nine apertures as well are excreting

some or the other foul smelling dirt and filth. All this is

due to the material elements. On the other hand, the Soul

is pure, serene, flawless, is a source of eternal bliss. Man

doesnt seem to be aware of the real identity of his soul.

He is familiar with the pleasures related to hissensory organs alone. Sensory pleasuresbe they related to

taking of some choicest food or enjoying the beauties of

Nature or listening to the charming music and the likeare

short-lived. Small children look beautiful but with the

passage of time their beauty and child-like simplicity

vanishes. Every pleasure is followed by some or the otherpain. However, that which never loses its charm and bliss

is soul alone. Just as a dumb cant describe the taste of gur

(solid form of cane sugar juice), the sensory organs arent

in a position to describe the pleasures related to the soul.

A healthy body has its own charm.

O God! send me to hell but dont let me remain in the

company of a sinner.

Saptam Swarg Prabhu Ko Dassa.

To be a worshipper or be a devoteebe it of Nirgun

or Sagun kind evenis the seventh thing that can giveheaven-like pleasures.

The satsang for a moment even and the pleasures related

to soul are far greater than these. Just as musk has a

natural charming fragrance in it, the soul also has natural

and rare pleasures in it. After attaining these rare


40/127

40 Sahib Bandgi

pleasures, there remains no need for any other kind of

pleasures. It is simply because of its being a part of Param

Purush. Now the question arises as to where have these

pleasures gone. There is need to understand that thesepleasures have not eloped anywhere. These have, rather,

been diverted by the clever mind. In fact, we can derive

the pleasures from anything we concentrate at. While at

play, we derive pleasures simply because our whole

concentration is fixed at it. In fact, the concentration itself

is the soul. Even lord Krishan has said, Amongst thegamblers I am the gamble and amongst the sinners I am

the greatest sinner. Saying so, he wanted to make it clear

that pleasure lies where the concentration gets fixed. It

must be remembered that the place of concentration is

ones Guru.

Kami Ka Guru Kamini, Lobhi Ka Guru Daam.

Kabir Ka Guru Sant Hai, Santon Ka Guru Naam.

Lust is the Guru of a lustful person. Money is the Guru

of a greedy person. A sant is the Guru of Kabir

whereas Naam itself is the Guru of the sants.

A man said that before being blessed with Naam, he used

to have a look at his wealth 2-3 times a day it gave him

much pleasure. Everyone must be feeling such a pleasure.Likewise, a wrestler looks at his body repeatedly. In both

the cases it is the concentration that has proved a cause of

pleasure. In fact, the concentration is the ideal face of

soul.

The pleasures that we derive from the material

objects are related to Maya alone and we cant experiencethe pleasures related to soul while engaged in lustful

activities.

Now the question arises as to whether it is sufficient

to know that the soul is in the bondage of Munn-Maya or

there is some need to know how we have been entangled


41/127


in this bondage and how we can free ourselves from it.

Out of misunderstanding, some call woman as Maya.

However, this is not correct. It is this physical body that

presents the face of Maya. That is to say, the soul has beenentangled in this physical body. How did the soul become

a part of body? Why is it not making an earnest attempt to

come out of it? It means some kind of knot has developed

between the soul and the body. In this connection

Goswami Tulsi Dassji has said

Jadd Chetan Hai Granthi Padd Geyi,Yadyapi Mithya Chhootat Kathinayi.

The gross body and the conscious soul have developed

a knot. Though it is nothing but an illusion, yet it has

developed and there seems to be no chance of its

getting untied.

Again, we have to see as to where and at which point in

the body, it resides. There is need to know that the Soul is

present in the body in the form of consciousness and the

centre of this consciousness is at the Medula plexus. I

shall give evidence in support of it. Lord Krishan said to

Arjun, Truth and love alone are not enough for the life of

man. You should concentrate at a place at Medula Plexus

and should try to know your soul. That is to say, the soulresides at this very place. In Sankhya yog, we find the

mention of 7 plexus. First one is the Pelvic plexus which

is the abode of Ganeshji. He is considered as the power

that helps in the performance of all the deeds. Second one

is the Hypo gastric plexus, which is the abode of Brahmaji

and Savitriji. The task of creation takes place from here.Third one is the Solar plexus, which is the abode of

Vishnoji and Lakshmiji. Fourth one is the cardiac plexus,

which is the abode of Shivji and Parvati. Fifth one is the

throat, which is the abode of Adhya Shakti and Saraswati.


42/127

42 Sahib Bandgi

Sixth one is the Medulla plexus which is the abode of the

soul whereas the seventh one is the cerebral gland which

is the abode of Niranjan. According to the Sankhya yog

also, the soul resides in the Medulla plexus. Along withthe existence of the vital force into the body, the soul

began to be called as jiva. The vital force got immersed in

the body. From the Medula plexus it began to breathe.

When the soul performs the activity of breathing, it is

called as jiva. It is just like the case of water that on

solidifying is called as ice. If we observe with fullconcentration, we shall find that the process of breathing

is not automatic. Someone is inhaling and this someone is

the jiva. It is taking the breath to the navel and is then

exhaling it. That is to say, at this point the soul got mixed

up with the body. After all, why is the soul breathing? It is

doing so to keep the body alive. Why does it want to keep

the body alive? This is because it has taken itself as the

body. It knows that the body will die if it stops breathing.

So it has got entangled in the breath.

If you watch with full concentration, you will find

that some conscious power is inhaling as well as exhaling.

Now where is the breath going? It is going to the solar

plexus. Here the pranas (vital force) change into 10 formsand control the functioning of the body. We can watch

minutely the overall functioning of the body.

Apan vayu (form of wind) is present at the place of

anus. It helps in the process of excretion and digestion.

The second one is the udan vayu that is present near the

heart. It prevents the Apan vayu from going up. The 3rdone is the Pran vayu that performs the job of pumping the

heart. 4th one is the Sarvatan vyam vayu that makes our

joints flexible. When a man dies, his joints get strained. In

this way, the different kinds of air perform different kinds

of functions. We hear people saying, the vital force has


43/127


gone. It is actually the inhaler of the vital force that has

gone.

The 10 kinds of air keep the body alive. The soul has

to continue its job of inhaling as, otherwise, the body, ithas used as its abode, will perish. It is at this point that we

say a knot has developed between the body and the soul.

The soul has got entangled in our breath.

Often I have a chance to meet people belonging to

various sects and creeds. During the course of discussion,

I ask them how they reached the inner world. It is not achilds play. They are also talking of the inner journey,

but he who has to undertake this journey has been

entangled in the body. A bird imprisoned in a cage cant

make a flight. They talk on the basis of bookish

knowledge, which is nothing but crammed things. I know

that many imitate me. They have been delivering their

sermons through T.V since long whereas I started using

this medium only a few years back and it appears as if I

were imitating them. Nevertheless, even after imitating us,

they dont appear to be so much influential in the field. He

who has actually visited Delhi can speak with confidence

about the places he visited but, on the other hand, he who

speaks on the basis of bookish knowledge alone does sowith a visible lack of confidence. It is not the body that

makes these trips. It is, rather, the soul that does. I shall

write a book on the internal trips I have made and shall

explain everything related to these.

When they speak of Sushumna, I enquire with them as

to how they enter into it. I know that they are talking onthe basis of the bookish knowledge and are devoid of any

practical experience in this regard.

None can reach Amar Lok simply by the opening of

Sushumna, as even after this there is the existence of

Mind. I know that I have limitless factual knowledge


44/127

44 Sahib Bandgi

about these but I speak only as much as is sufficient for

your purpose.

To my question, they simply say that in the spiritual

journey the opening of Sushumna is a basic condition.Kabir Sahib says that when the soul begins to take the

breath upward instead of doing so in the downward

direction, the Sushumna gets opened.

The mouth of Sushumna has been closed due to the

accumulation of phlegm there. This phlegm doesnt allow

the breath to go up. Reciting of the holy Naam makes thebreath move in the upward direction. This upward

movement makes the phlegm melt which results in the

opening of Sushumna. After the opening of the Sushumna,

the breath moves straight upward and the body becomes

dead (still and Senseless).

Gang Aur Yamuna Ke Ghat Ko Khoj Bhayi.

It doesnt mean to make a search of the plains near the

ghats of the rivers Ganges and Yamuna as some sages

think. There is some deeper meaning inherent in these

words of Kabir Sahib.

Just as the union between the rivers Ganges and

Yamuna creates Saraswati, the union between Ida and

Pingla creates Sushumna. Here the mind becomes activeand diverts our attention to the worldly affairs. It prevents

the breath from moving up and when the attention gets

diverted, the breath begins to move back to the navel

region and the soul, once again, assumes the gross body.

Surti Ke Dand Se Gher Mann Pawan Ko.

Kabir Sahib says that a devotee can control the mindand the air with the stick of concentration. This

concentration has to be like that of the Chakore bird

and the moon.

The mind has no power of its own. All the desires are


45/127


also related to its fulfillment. Nevertheless, it is the soul

that supplies the energy needed for it. Intellect is the 2nd

aspect of mind. It gives final shape to the planning.

However, this intellect also derives the needed energyfrom the soul. Chitt (remembrance) is the 3rd aspect of

Mind. Its job is to recollection. Chitt also behaves dead

without the energy of the soul. Ego is the 4th aspect of

mind. It is the

actual performer of the task. It means all the four forms of

Mind owes their existence to the energy supplied by thesoul.

Aapa Ko Aapa Hi Bandhyo.

The soul itself has entangled its own self.

Diversion of your attention clearly indicates that the Mind

has played its trick successfully.

Munn Per Jo Asvar Hai Aisa Birla Koye.

Only some rare devotee can succeed in controlling the

Mind.

He who recites the holy Naam day and night, finds it easy

to fix his concentration. This concentration will reverse

the direction of breath. As you have lived your life taking

yourself as body, the mind will try to misguide you at this

very moment. It will tell you that you are going to die.Nevertheless, the fact is that you have to reach this state.

As this process is not an easy one and can cause problem

to a devotee, it is advisable to practise it under the

guidance of Guru alone.

Sometimes, while I am engrossed in reading a

newspaper, my driver diverts the vehicle to some wrongpath. On one occasion, he drove the vehicle on the road to

Pakistan. However, there is no question of being misled in

the inner world. The mind tries its utmost to convince you

that it is useless to reverse the direction of the breath as it


46/127

46 Sahib Bandgi

is beyond your reach to achieve anything there.

Nevertheless, Kabir Sahib says

Sub Ki Gathri Lal Hai, Koyi Nehin Kangal.

Everyone has pearls with him. None is penniless.You have miraculous powers within you. However, the

moment you turn your attention to meditation, the mind

will remind you of some incident when you had suffered

some humiliation. Recalling of that incident will give you

a feeling of pain. So to say, it will present before you the

incident that can divert your attention. It has occupied theplace that lies in-between the eyebrows and has closed the

10th aperture. The people dont seem to have any

knowledge of this secret and talk on the basis of the study

of religious scriptures alone.

Kabir Sahib has rightly said

Tera Mere Manna Kaise I Hoi Re.

Tu Kahta Kagad Ki Lekhi, Main Kahta Aankhan Ki Dekhi.

You are speaking what the Holy Scriptures say

whereas I say that which I have experienced.

Therefore, in such circumstances, how can your and

My thinking be the same.

He has explained the whole philosophy in a single

couplet. I want to ask who can be called as a more awareone who is a PhD in geography or one who has actually

toured the length and breadth of the country.

Sometimes, the mind performs tricks by turning our

attention to the pain caused by the mosquito bite and the

like. At this, Mira Bai has said

Sooli Ooper Saij Piya Ki, Kis Vidhi Milna Hoye.How can I meet with my loved one when this mind

presents before me one or the other incident to divert

my attention?

There is need to fix concentration in a manner a Chakor

fixes its concentration at the moon.


47/127


Gaflat Nehin Tahan Sada Hoshhiyar Dekhna.

He says that there is need to be watchful lest the

concentration should get diverted.

The energy of the body will begin to show a continuousdecrease. The parts of body below the neck will seem to

be functionless. Then the breath will reach the eyes. Here

the mind will create hurdles. When the breath rises

beyond this point, the devotee feels like dying. Here the

Guru comes forward to extend his helping hand in

taking him upward.The body was performing its functions with the help

of energy supplied by the different airs and in the absence

ofthese it will lose its senses. Dont pay any heed to any

kind of fear created by the Mind. It will try to frighten you

saying that you wont be able to see your wife and

children. Clearly, it is not a joke to try it. You will feel

yourself like a body without a soul.

The breath then moves into the Shunya. This is called

as the spiritual journey. A devotee asked what would

happen if one fails to return back. I replied that no other

kind of death could be better than that one. You would

soon reach your destination.

Sahib Kripa Kuchh Durlabh Nahin.With the blessings and grace of Sahib even the

impossible looking task becomes possible. Even after

moving out of the body, the soul is still within the

limits of Mind.

Munn Tarang Mein Jagat Bhulana.

Association with the mind amounts to getting swayedalong with its waves.

The mind is, so to say, occupying the drivers seat. Total

concentration means to remain cautious about the four

forms of Mind, namelymunn, intellect, remembrance and

ego.

6. Description of Five WordsPaanch Shabd Aur Paanchon Mudra, Veh Nishchey Kar

Maana

Uske Aagey Purush Puratan, Tiski Khabar Na Jaana.

In past, everyone (Rishi, Muni, Siddh, Saadhak, Yogi,

Yogeshwar etc.) remained concentrated only on the

following five words: Jyoti Niranjan, Onkaar, Sohang,

Satt, R-Rankaar with their respective meditation postures:

Chachri, Bhuchri, Agochri, Unmuni, Khechri and declaredthem as the true methods of meditation through which one

can realise Supreme Lord (ParamPurush) who resides

within each individuals soul. Howeverin reality, they all

failed to understand the true limitations of the five words

which falls under the territory of Kaal Niranjan (Mind)

and cannot help realise the true presence of Supreme Lord(Param Purush / Sahib) whose existence and presence is

beyond all the five words and five meditation postures.

Before arrival of Sant Samrat Satguru Kabir Sahib in

to this mortal world, Nirgun Bhakti (mode of worship

totally revolves around 5 words based on meditation, as

mentioned above) was being considered as the only true

method of worshipping and realising Supreme Lord(Param Purush- Sahib). With this belief, everyone who

gets involved into Nirgun Bhakti considered it as the right

path towards realisation of Supreme Lord because this

mode of worship came into popularity from the times of

Rishis, Munis, Siddh, Saadhak, Yogis, Yogeshwars etc.

Nirgun Bhakti is the mode of worship, which is totallybased on meditation (Subtile Yoga / Dhyaan Saadhna) and

only concentrates onto recitation of one particular word

out of all the 5 words : Jyoti-Niranjan, Onkaar, Sohang,

Satt, R-Rankaar through their own particular meditation

postures. It is called as Surat-Shabd-Abhyaas or Shabd-


49/127


Kamai or Naam-Kamai or Kriya Yog and is mainly

focused on the subject of selfrealisation (as a soul) which

is truly based on self experiences of inner journey (within

the body) through concentration and travel towardsdifferent worlds (abodes) that are present into the higher

limits of the universe. Vedas and other religious scriptures

had clearly mentioned that the whole universe (3 Loks) is

present inside the human body, which holds 100%

truthfulness. However, this knowledge is far beyond the

reach of those people who are completely engaged intoSargun Bhakti (doing worship of Idols, chanting of

mantras, following religious rituals) and keep on

searching Supreme Lord in the outer world.

Nirgun Bhakti is only related with the Five Words and

Five meditation postures as mentioned above. The reach

and the limitation of Nirgun Bhakti is only up to the

territory of Kaal Niranjan who himself resides into the 5th

element of the universe i.e. Sky (vacuum-space-shunya)

from where he governs the whole universe. The whole

humanity is doing the worship of Kaal Niranjan

(Mind/God of Universe/God of Death) in one way or the

other because he never discloses the true presence of

Supreme Lord (ParamPurush/Sahib) to anyone in thisuniverse, not even to his own three sons :Brahma, Vishnu

& Mahesh (Trinity). The knowledge of every religion and

the religious scriptures that are available to mankind is

limited only up to the knowledge of universe (3 Loks)

which itself is the creation of Kaal Niranjan and everyone

considers him and worships him as formless SupremeLord due to the lack of true spiritual knowledge.

All the Holy Sants who followed Satguru Kabir Sahib

Jis true ideology of SantMat, addressed Niranjan

(Formless God) as Kaal Purush (God of Death) who is

the ruling power of this universe and is cruel by nature

that continuously gives pain, suffering & sorrow to each

individual being into this mortal world and drive them

through destruction. No individual being in this universe

is safe and cannot liberate himself permanently from theentrapment of Mind (Kaal Niranjan). The territory of Kaal

Niranjan (Mind-Mann) whose limitation is up to the

creation of Shunya (14 Loks are present in this creation

where articles exist). Above Shunya, there is the creation

of Maha-Shunya (7 Loks are present in this Maha Shunya

where no articles exists) which all comes under greatdissolution (Maha Paralaya). No being can attain

permanent salvation (Param Moksh), i.e. Amarlok (4th
