Anmol Bachans - Precious Words By Saints

[hsingh68]

Khalsa Ji,

Some are of the opinion that "Sant" or "Sadh", in SGGS Maharajh, only refers to Guru Sahiban, and no one else.

It's a sad shame that, we as Sikhs, consider SGGS incapable of producing Sant avasta. It's a shame that we consider our Guru to be limited, in powers.

We, as sikhs, believe IN Guru Granth Sahib; it's a shame that we don't believe in it's pwer....

Waheguru.......

You clearly are a 'sant' follower. Why bother putting faith on a human when guru told us not to follow dehdaris. Only sant is used for guru sahib and nobody else.

Brother no one here believes in Dehdhari Gurus. People just sharing Bachans of great Gursikhs of the past.

Khalsa Ji,

I am a Sant follower; the biggest Sant ever, for me, is Dhan Dhan SGGS Ji Maharajh. The following, from SGGS, is just one example, where the term "Sant" is used for somweone, other than Guru Sahiban:

ਪੰਨਾ 856, ਸਤਰ 7
ਸੰਤ ਪ੍ਰਹਲਾਦ ਕੀ ਪੈਜ ਜਿਨਿ ਰਾਖੀ ਹਰਨਾਖਸੁ ਨਖ ਬਿਦਰਿਓ ॥੩॥

Sanṯ parahlāḏ kī paij jin rākẖī harnākẖas nakẖ biḏri▫o. ||3||

He preserved the honor of Prahlaad, and destroyed Harnaakhash with his nails. ||3||
ਭਗਤ ਕਬੀਰ ਜੀ

Khalsa Ji,

I do not follow deh dhari Gurus; I have no respect, or time for people who, consider themselves, to be above SGGS...

Waheguru....

[tuhintuhin]

^^^ Waheguru ji, you don't need to give explanations to anyone. It's everone's their own level of spirituality and Guru sahib's kirpa.

Those who have problems with sants or sant followers, please refrain from this thread. This is a humble request.

"Purab janam ankur jab pargateyo, bheteyo purakh rasik bairaagi"

[tuhintuhin]

Sant Waryam Singh ji Ratwara Sahib:-

Sant pursh de darshan karan saar andron waheguru waheguru di dhun hon lag jandi hai kyonki jiwein ik baraf de dhele kolo geyan thand mehsus hon lag jandi hai, aag de nerhe jao ta garmi mehsus hon lag jandi hai, kyonki ki ena da subaah hi eho jeha hunda hai. Aisa jo sant hai, oh nira hi shaanti da bhandaara hunda hai. Hor cheez koi duniya ander eni shaant nahin, jine ke mahapuskh shaant-chit hunde han. Ese te Guru furmaan hai:-

ਕਬੀਰ ਸੰਤੁ ਨ ਛਾਡੈ ਸੰਤਈ ਜਉ ਕੋਟਿਕ ਮਿਲਹਿ ਅਸੰਤ ॥

Kabeer, the Saint does not forsake his Saintly nature, even though he meets with millions of evil-doers.

ਮਲਿਆਗਰੁ ਭੁਯੰਗਮ ਬੇਢਿਓ ਤ ਸੀਤਲਤਾ ਨ ਤਜੰਤ ॥੧੭੪॥

Even when sandalwood is surrounded by snakes, it does not give up its cooling fragrance. ||174||

Sant Sujan Singh ji keertaniye Dhan Dhan Baba Nand Singh ji:-

"Sangat vich aawe, pyaar naal aawe, khali nai rehnda, laag jaroor lagdi hai. Te je kuch na mange, ta pher punn vad-de vad-de ede prabal ho jande han ke saayi aap chal ke aunda hai"

^{Giani Pinderpal Singj ji on Bhai Gurdas ji's bani:-}

^{Bhai Gurdas ji has given 3 examples on how one can pass through the "bhav-sagar", despite short of time in kalyug.}

^{1. A boat - the 3/4th part of the boat saves the 1/4th part of the boat, meaning 3/4th of the boat is under water, only a little part is above water which helps boat to get to the other bank. Same like this even if we get 15 minutes to remember God in 24 hours, we can be saved from maya.}

^{2. Roti - Some people eat just once a day. He comes to kitchen or dining table just once to eat food, he doesn;t remain there the whole day but that time of 10-15 minutes of consuming food gives him energy to survive through the day, same like this if we jap Guru Guru only 15 minutes a day, it'll get us through the rest of the day.}

^{3. A beggar - when a beggar comes to a king and beg just for 5 minutes, King can give him "jagirs". It just took the beggar 5-10 minutes to bow down and cry that his sorrows vanish. Bhai sahib says, o man, o mind, just once a day, for a moment beg and cry to waheguru ji, you never know waheguru can do kirpa and taras and your janams will be saved just because of that single "moment" of surrenderance.}

Giani Pinderpal Singh ji:-

"Ik gal yaad rakheyo, "roohaniyat" nu budhi de tal(level) te kadi na leke jaayeyo, budhi de tal te nikle hoye shabad tarak paida karde ne te shardha te aatma de tal ton nikle hoye bol parmatama di dargaah vich kabool kra dinde ne"

chapter- Sant baba Aiya Singh Hoti Mardan giving divine sermons( on love) to Sant baba jawala Singh Ji.

What is love?

Love: Love is the divine law. It will win where reason fails.
God is love and love is God.

It is to surrender one's self to the beloved and giving away own heart and moving like a bewildered person. If you want to know about love, then ask love itself. Do not ask anybody else, he will not answer !. Only love knows how to describe itself lovely. It will explain pretty well what it is. True love means to give up possession or self. Until ego is renounced no one can find that path of love. Cleanse your heart, like a mirror(glass) clear and simple. So long heart has imprints of lust one cannot see the face of love. Love gives life to humans, true love negates greed, Kabir sahib says: Everybody talks about love, yet no one expereinces love. Only such a person knows love, as remains, imbided in it day and night. If love came and gone, everybody saw it but if one cries now then laughs next moment, it is not love.

Shalok Mohalla 4 (p-301)

My body and mind are ever imbued with my lord's love,
Be though merciful, O god, that I Abide in Guru's peace. (1)

God's love grants such a high vision that to even a helpless that he does not care about the kings(Master of corwn) and throne, lover weaves gorgeous clothes like attish and kim khwab with the blood of his heart and spreads under the feet of his beloved. Only lover can help someone to reach God's court and attaining to such a position is real ascention to God's place(Heaven). If you want to read the true story of ascention of love then look at the face of some true lover. From his face, one can have the glimplse of love. In love, Gardens of happiness bloom in heart's blood. Lovers are always absorbed in God's love. On this path several mansoors turn down worldy honours and choose to kiss the crucifixion instead. How can one gain the wealth of divine love? Without guide's instruction it is not possible. Only some one with large heart can win this with God's grace. How to recognise love? If you find someone lost in despair and disheartned he is deviod of love. He does not belong to the realm of love. Even though studded with thorns, a lover is always happy like some body in garden in spring. Find not such a one lonely because he is always in God's embrace. Should I offer Nimaz (Muslim prayer) or look in your way? How can I visit kahba (God's place in holy mecca)

Bulleh shah

The Nimaz of memories lie in bowing down before God and lovers Nimaz in forgetting one's body.

Ablution of memories is in washing hands and feet but lover's ablution is washing hands off the world. Unless you take your hands off the worldy tempations do not remember God because without Wuzzo, Nimaz is not acceptable in Islamic Code(Shria).

Having delivered such lovely sermon, sahib siri baba aiya singh ji hoti mardan waley threw glance towards the sipahi(jawala singh). Lover had filled his goblet of heart with love..tears of joy began to role down his face and his head tilted towards baba ji's feet. Eyes of mind became Ganga-Jamuna and he washed baba ji's feet with tears. It was like his own heart cleaned up.. his forehead got blessed with baba ji's feet touch. The way of love began to rise in his heart and his tongue un-intentionally moved in meditation. Glands of knowledge opened up. Heart began to feel coolness of love. Light flashed up. Six close cycles(chakars) turned up. Petals blossomed up. Unstruck melodies became aloud. All hair turned into tongues and every single hair changed into divine word. He began to realise all around. Baba Aya Singh Ji merged jawala singh ji into sargun-nirgun. There was flood of light all around. Having done this miracle, Baba Ji again came into being and turned jawala singh to an saint. He lifted him from his feet, took him in embrace and asked, "Now tell me, do you know me or not? "Jawala Singh began to weep in low and said, "By your grace, I have come to know of my real self. I am thankful to you I have realised that I have been your servant since many births. You are my mentor(Murshid). Then Baba Jawala Singh became silent. Baba Aya Singh Ji thus turned sipahi into saint and blended him into his own being.

Grace of Give commandmends given by Baba Ji:

1. Remember God breath by breath
2. Never be egoist.
3. Keep company of those detached from the world.
4. Do not Beg.
5. Be aloof.

Sant jawala Singh Ji listened to the commandments and dutyfully observed all throughout life
