Spirituality.... Way of GOD Realization


The soul must get embodied in Human Form because GOD realization is only possible in this grab. For realizing GOD, man must know himself. The never ending cycle of birth and death is due to the karmic/deeds load and one can never merge in the pure ocean with load of his karmas on the soul.

To have a Living Master is of the foremost important. He attaches the seeker to the Shabad or Sound Current by providing Naam/Word/Kalmaa. He helps the seeker to understand, so that the truth can be put across and proved in a practical manner in this life itself. That is why Bhagat Kabir had given more importance to the Guru or Master than the God. The Guru helps the Soul to develop spiritually and finally merge in the supreme even while living in physical form on this earth.

The soul is super conscious energy, and is always in search for peace and happiness. Its seat is in the human body, the center of consciousness in man is at a point behind the two eyes. This center is known the third eye or Teesra Till, and from this point flows the sustaining power of soul to various centers of the body.
The Master initiates the discipline into the techniques of Surat Shabad Yoga. i.e. the union of soul with the Shabad or the Sound Current. This Sound Current of the Audible life Stream emanates from the mansion of the Lord and is characterized by the both Sound and Light. The Sound directs the disciple and the Light reveals the path where the Lord resides. The Sound Current dwells in everyone irrespective of nationality, race, creed, wealth, authority or possession.

The Journey of the Soul back Home starts by withdrawing the scattered attention from the outside world by closing the nine apertures of sensual pleasure and concentrating between the eyes and listening to the melodious Sound (Current) which is continuously reverberating in us from birth till death. This is a spiritual exercise by which the Current of consciousness is applied to the hearing of the Shabad within. And this is done through Simran or the repetition of the Five Holy Names and Dhyan or the contemplation of the form of Master at the eye center. Although it is not an easy task, regularity and persistence on this path surely pays.

Sant Mat or Saint’s path does not require asceticism but asks for complete detachment for every activity that retards the progress of the Soul. To eat the simplest and the purest nourishment definitely helps in controlling the five passions—Lust, anger, greed, attachment and egotism. High ethical and moral life is necessary for spiritual progress and God realization. This path also enjoins the followers to earn their livelihood by honest means. The Master Himself rigidly follows this principle and accepts nothing from his disciples.

Sant Mat is not difficult to follow. The only need is a disciplined life and regularly meditation for at least two to three hours daily in complete devotion to GOD with one pointed concentration, under the guidance of a Perfect Living Master.
