Dr Harbhajan Singh Forever with Master Vol. I Salutation - Part I
| Salutation - Part I |
|
1. To me Your Mission is more important than anything in the world. People give priority and talk about the world, whereas I give priority to You and Your Mission. How1 must I cooperate with them? 2. You are too close to me but people do not see You at all and do not believe my words.2 3. O my child, if you come back, what is there which belongs to you? And where is the necessity you lose there and then? 4. Forget what is written and what is spoken, see not as your feet dip in the ocean and start swimming. 5. Your sweet remembrance thrills my consciousness and I at once feel my obedience unto Your order. 6. You are identified everywhere and manifest in every heart. Who is the doer? 7. I have made my room Your dwelling place. I go out of the room with the first footstep in Your sweet remembrance keeping it fresh all the day and all the way and come back with the same. 8. With Your Grace I have attained the higher values of life so much and in so many ways that I need Your guidance ail the time as little, little things cannot inherit3 me but disturb me.
9. People love You due to themselves but I love You due to You. People love You out of their feelings and emotions, but I love You without feelings and emotions. People pray to You for rewards of what they did. I pray to surrender the rewards at Thy Holy Feet. 10. On the bank of the lake there are clusters of green trees and beautiful flowers,4 and there hides the hunter.5 O my child, don't take it as the Mansarovar6 lake. Be careful, the water of the Mansarovar does not stay or wet your hand.7 11. People sacrifice their wishes for name and fame, I sacrifice my wishes to please my Lord and to reward His Mission. People spoil goodness in others and misuse their goodness. I appreciate their goodness and lead them further to the higher values of life. 13. People stay at destinations they fixed to their utmost, I beg them to proceed further. 14. People love or hate others for their worldly gains. I love them because of their ignorance. 15. People hurt others' feelings. I love them because of their helplessness. 16. People lose their concentration with time. I have regained my concentration because of Your bliss. 17. People admire others because they like them. I admire others, when they admire You alone. 18. People hate those who hurt others. I love them because they still can understand You.
19. People steal for their gains. I steal their thoughts to let them bargain8 with You. 20. You give everything and do not get back. What is the hindrance, if you give it for all the times to come, so that Your faith9 be the nourishing factor within the children. 21. You forgive and You do not take the account again. O Lord, You forgive all and once for all. 22. You have blessed Your children with rare right understanding, with which very blessed ones are blessed by You. Take pity on those who lack it! 23. You have the power to silence the ill feelings in the world. Then where is the remedy to cure this ever increasing disease? 24. Good thoughts, good deeds and good actions are potent weapons to reach nearer to Thine threshold. Bless Your children with Thine bliss, so that they may appreciate Your greatness. 25. As You are the only One and exist everywhere, why must Your children run after delusions and illusions? 26. Your light brings life. Where is that life which glorifies Your light? Be kind to Your children to reveal that light. 27. Your word is a direction to those who are on the way, but if they have forgotten that way? Be kind unto all, they deserve You and need You. Maybe they are irritant now due to their ignorance. You say, ignorance is removed by the proper guidance. Your one word is a clearance for their onward journey. 28. You have the power to create noble souls in the world. Your order depends not on time-factor. Kindly bless and give birth of nobleness to the existing souls.10
29. Let Your work become faster like the waves of tongue of thought so that thoughts are directly put into doing. Bless all to work for You, as Your work is the real work for the child. 30. Be careful, that very, very long and beautiful trees11 within are only to fix your gaze and to surprise your intellect. 31. Your noble souls have vibrating thoughts. Let those thoughts reverberate and bring Your radiation in all, so that there comes oneness among all. 32. Mind is fire. O Lord, bless me to overcome the ever increasing flames of fire. Let the mind die itself in that fire! 33. O Lord, keep me with high spirit and with poor mind. Let my mind depend upon me because of its shortcomings. 34. It is said that all that glitters is not gold. For me the gold that glitters is not more than dust. O Lord, bless Your children to disseminate the momentary value of the gold. 35. People go to different mountains and tourist places. I only know the Sumer-mountain where my Beloved lives forever. O Lord, bless me, that on seeing such places I may not discourage. 36. Thoughts are very potent. But when those thoughts become thoughtless,12 these surpass all the barriers. O Lord, grant Your children perfection so that they must not think of perfection. 37. Without seeing God, the manifestation of God is a toy with numerous tentacles to keep the children engaged and tied for whole the life. Let mother13 break the toy and show the child what the toy contains. 38. You are All-Consciousness. Bless each of Your children with a drop of that consciousness or give that which is overflowing. 39. The gift of God is unique in the world. What is unique in the world, nobody knows. Knowledge of unique value of Thine gift is taught through Your noble souls. 40. People are fed up with hues and cries in the world. But still they feel happy. Hues and cries affect the few ones. O Lord, those who are affected should not listen again. 41. Let Your voice silence the heart of yearning souls as there is no remedy for them. The worldly remedies are for worldly people who are affected with sensual effects. Or where is that panacea which Your children want and wish? 42. Problems come to Your children and You stand by. Also, o Lord, awake them not to be affected by the ego. 43. Ego morbids the soul. Ego inherits in the body. Very few persons could get rid of it with Your Grace. O Lord, show Your children the most effective and easiest way to overcome the effect of the ego. 44. Lusty persons have magic effect on others and destroy others. There is no parallel to Your charming beauty and radiation which penetrates everywhere. Is it not possible that one finds it there and then? O Lord, You are omnipresent. Why You test Your weak child again and again? Be merciful unto him and take him into Thy lap of compassion. 45. You alone know Your competency and others to whom it is revealed. Let all of Your children know Your competency, so that they may not be deluded. 46. One day You happened to be inside and outside. To my utter happiness, I wanted to see You physically, You were the same. It was my utter ignorance I did not proceed further. Later on I came to know that there is no tongue and no thought.14
47. One day I happened to be with a receptive disciple of Yours who gave the date and the time.15 To my utmost ignorance I did not ask about Your competency. Now I cannot comment beyond thoughts. 48. Spiritual teaching is the most potent weapon in the world to create awakening. Innocent and ignorant people are misled. O Lord, bless the humanity with Your Grace so that they create a ruling passion for themselves through Your guidelines. 49. Humanity existed forever and suffered forever. O my Lord, bless the humanity to exist forever and to suffer not the least. 50. O my Lord, You have the key to change our attention from one pole to the other. How can we thank You that Your love never changes?
1 Stress is laid on the word 'how'. 'O my Lord, tell me, how I could co-operate with them.' 2 Although You are so close to me, they do not believe my words. 3 'Cannot exist with me all the time', 'cannot claim me'. 4 Illusions 5 Negative power 6 Tank of Nectar 7 The water of life neither can stay nor wet your hand 9 Continuous food for the soul 10 Let noble virtues be born in these souls. 11 Experience of the astral plane 12 Thoughts above intellect and mind 13 Mother is the Master. When He opens it, you know what is really inside. 14 Relates to the experience of the author; see "Before Initiation" 15 When the Masterpower gives someone the time of one's physical departure, one can ask Him a lot from within.
