"A Gurmukh is he who has become the mouthpiece of his Guru, one who truly takes the Guru as the ever-present Lord and keeps his head low before all his Guru’s commands. Thereby he has become the mouthpiece of the Guru, and the Guru is the mouthpiece of God. It is a constant law which never changes."
Sant Kirpal Singh
A Gurmukh never tells anything from his side, he only delivers what is coming from his Master.
"Put the same question to the Guru and the same question to the disciple – he may live hundreds of miles away – he will reply in the same word." Whenever the Beloved is remembered by such, new life surges within. So the Gurmukh's life is lived in constant remembrance. The new life starts from initiation, and then he lives on remembrance, remembrance, remembrance which increases that new life – it begins to surge within. It is a practical matter, for in true love there is incessant remembrance of the loved one – perpetual. Gurmukh's remembrance is only one – continuous." Sant Kirpal Singh
Gurmukhta – the relation between the disciple and his Master must be the key note in all affairs of life the disciple has to deal with. Only one who really lives it practically can tell about it – so far this is possible in terms of language – and to understand this book about the Gurmukh, one must live accordingly.
The book has been written by Dr Harbhajan Singh, disciple of Sant Kirpal Singh. Though by reading it one may understand more about the author, a few words may be said at this place.
After the departure of our Master Sant Kirpal Singh on August 21, 1974, a big confusion came up among His disciples. Some helplessly kept reserved, but many at once entered into the discussion about the successorship.
When we met Dr Harbhajan Singh and his wife Surinder Kaur (Bhaji and Bhiji), we came to know that Master had left His body fourteen years ahead. This fact they told right from the beginning, since 1974, and meanwhile many details have been given about that. These fourteen years (Saarsathi) were a hard time full of tests. Master had gone inside to avert the great destruction that takes place when the Iron Age finishes. Lots of things had to be done inside, since in the Golden Age new laws become effective. Whenever a Master leaves His body, a test is held by the negative power. In this test the competency of the Master Power has to be proved by the fact that He was able to develop at least one perfect disciple.
As Sant Kirpal Singh came with the highest competency, the test which was held right after His departure was very hard. It was Biji, the wife of Dr Harbhajan Singh, who in this test – and in further tests held at a later time – proved the competency of Sant Kirpal Singh. Only in this way it was possible to bring His Mission into the Golden Age. We are living in a special time now. When this change comes, the highest Power, the Almighty Power works and this Power is not bound with the physical body, He can work directly. But still outer guidance is needed, for "man's teacher must be a man." Sant Kirpal Singh commissioned His disciple Dr Harbhajan Singh to give guidance to others together with his wife Surinder Kaur. So it is a particularity of this time that a disciple who is commissioned by the God Power works without holding the position of a Master.
"They are one in two and two in one, this is what is meant by Gurmukh. Suchlike people are chosen by God to continue all this work." Sant Kirpal Singh
Though Dr Harbhajan Singh was with Master when He left His physical body, many did not believe the facts and started to search for the successor. In this way a lot of so-called masters had an easy play.
It can only be hinted here what Bhaji and Biji had to bear inside and outside to fulfill the instructions of the Master. From them we can learn what true discipleship means.
Initiated in 1969 and 1970, we both met Master physically in 1972. But when we met Bhaji and Biji, our real life with Master started. Once Master said "I have many followers, but only a few disciples." These two disciples brought us near to Master and made us understand His competency. During so many years we could witness that even in the greatest troubles and difficulties they remained strictly true to the commandments of our Master, and we saw those progressing who trusted them. Whatever they told became true. Being an example of love and strictness, they prepare the place for Master to settle in the heart of others. We know, when they are with us, Master is with us. So we want to express our heartfelt love to them, to whom we owe so much, and from the core of our heart we thank our Master who brought us all together and thus paved the way for His children to come back to Him. His Mission has started now and the way is open for all who yearn to go home.
When Master said that He wants to work with thousands of hands, it means that He wants to work through His disciples – real disciples. Being the Supreme Power in the Golden Age He has the competency to make those Conscious Co-workers of the Divine Plan who determine their life and live and do for Him. It is our chance – it is our turn to meet God now. 16th November, 1992, St. Gilgen, Austria
