From the book "Morning Talks", written by Sant Kirpal Singh 1967-10-28, Delhi, Sawan Ashram Talk available as mp3 at audio.sant-kirpal-singh.org Love or charity is the attribute of the soul or the heart. Love for the world is not love, but is called lust or attachment. People speak of love, but where is it? They do not know even, what love is. It is said that love can be found by just giving the heart away to somebody and then to go around heartless. If your heart is taken away by somebody, what is left to you? Only such a man can really realize what love is. The outer signs of a man who loves is that he gives implicit obedience, complete self surrender. He cherishes what the Beloved or the Master wants. He always wants to please the Master, not to please himself. Love is no business. It is not grown in the fields, nor bought from any shop. It is already innate in your soul but can be flared up when you come across somebody who is overflowing with love. We have got the man-body, in which this love can be developed. As I told you, love is already innate in your soul. It just requires attachment to somebody. Instead of attaching our soul to the Overself or God, who is all Consciousness, we have attached it to the body, to the outgoing faculties and the world outside. This has been the reason of our coming back again and again to the world. If we have love for God, who is already controlling us in the body, then naturally where will we go? We will go to where God is, we are not to return to the world. Love is flared up only in the company of somebody who is already overflowing with love. In His society, we will have the infection of love, the radiation of love. So who can follow this way? He who can completely surrender his body, mind and soul and also his very faith. The Beloved is everything to him. He will be ready to sacrifice everything for the Beloved. A great saint, Sarmad by name, was asked, "Well, you have met your Master, what have you got in return?" He replied, "To save the manbody, we have to sacrifice everything, money and attachments. To save your soul, you will have to sacrifice your body. To save your faith, you will sacrifice so many lives. All shackles of my body, mind, soul and faith, have been cut asunder. What more profit can there be? The very word of the Master is my faith. The very word of the Master is my life. It is the Bread of Life, the Water of Life." So complete self surrender and implicit obedience are the outward signs of a man who loves. Who can have it? He who does not care for all outer things. To him, the word of the Master is the Bible, the Vedas, or the Koran. After all, what do the Vedas, the Koran and the Bible contain? They give only statements of certain suchlike Masters, who were one with God, who were God in man. The very words they expressed form the subject of our scriptures. Those very words uttered by the Masters who were 'Word made flesh and dwelt amongst us', are recorded in the scriptures. If you come across somebody who is Word made flesh, His very word is the Bible, the Koran or the Guru Granth Sahib. Who can give his body, attachments, soul and everything? It is a man who is very brave at heart. The outward symbol or expression of one who loves is that he gives implicit obedience to the Master. "If ye love me, keep my commandments". This is what Christ said. All other Masters have said the same. Guru Nanak says, "The God-in-man is the very God, the very Guru". There is less hope for those who pay obeisance to the body of the Master, as compared with those who pay obedience to the words which He utters. For them, emancipation is definite, sure and certain. We should obey and pay respect to the words that the Master utters. Then we are sure to go back to the Home of our Father. Those who only pay obeisance to the Master outwardly and do not live up to what the Master says, there is yet time. The time factor is a necessity. That is why Christ said, "If ye love me, keep my commandments". This is the first step. Ultimately, we give body, mind, soul and everything. Such a man has got no will of his own, but the Will of the Master is his will. Just see where you actually stand. If you give everything, what remains is God. W-O-R-L-D spells world. If you take out this I-hood from within you, you are God. If you take out "L" from the word "World", only "WORD" remains. "In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God and the Word was God". This little I-hood, this ego, stands in our way to God. When you completely surrender yourself to the God-in-man (to the God-in-man, not the body, although we have respect for the body of course), then your "L" or I-hood is eliminated. There is a story of Guru Ram Das, who was the fourth Guru of the Sikhs. The Masters always test their disciples to see how far they are fit. So his Master (Guru Amar Das), gave an order to raise certain platforms made from mud. All of the disciples started building the platforms as ordered. When they were ready, the Master inspected them and said, "These are no good, this is not right, you will have to make new platforms." Again the disciples constructed the platforms. Two, three, four, five times they did this. Then the Master said, "This place in no good. There is a better place over there to build them." Well, bye and bye, all of the disciples left off building the platforms except Guru Ram Das. The other disciples began to say that the Master has grown old and is losing His faculties. Guru Ram Das with tears in his eyes said, "The Master is all wisdom, all consciousness. If I am ordered to build these platforms and break them all through life, my lookout is only to obey His orders." He had complete self-surrender. You follow me? This means complete self-surrender. Now, step by step, judge for yourself where you stand. If you want to meet God, then you must have self surrender. When there is no "L" then ...? God is within you, He is not to come from outside. It is your I-hood or ego that stands in the way. This ego comes up when you are conscious of the body, whether physical, astral or causal. When you rise above the physical body, the physical I-hood is eliminated. When you rise above the astral body, you lose the astral I-hood. When you rise above the causal body, then you will completely understand who you are. Your will is the will of the Lord. The Lord's will is within you. The ABC starts from where? when you obey the orders of the Master. What does the Master say? He says, "Keep your life pure – For a while leave off from outside and introvert within – Rise above body-consciousness – Come into contact with the God into Expression Power, the Light and Sound principle within you – Then rise above the astral and causal bodies. You will realize what is meant by "I and my Father are One". You can then rise further into the Super Conscious state. This is the ultimate goal." The ABC starts from complete self-surrender and implicit obedience to the Master, the God in Him of course. We respect His body, because that human pole is blessed at which the God Power works, at which it manifests. The man who is attached to the outward things of name or fame, how can he take even one step on the Way? So this is what is always enjoined by all Masters who came in the past. They came here to bring you back to God. But the people don't pay any attention to them. They sometimes go out of their way to molest the Masters. So if we want to progress on the way back to God, these are the steps that we have to take. You must have implicit obedience. Why get stuck in the physical enjoyments and the outward things? You should rise above them.

From the book "Morning Talks", written by Sant Kirpal Singh 1967-10-28, Delhi, Sawan Ashram Talk available asmp3 at audio.sant-kirpal-singh.org Ljubav ili milosrđe obilježje je duše ili srca. Ljubav prema svijetu nije ljubav, već se zove požuda ili vezanost. Ljudi doduše pričaju o ljubavi, no gdje je ona? Oni čak ni ne znaju štoje ljubav. Kaže se da ljubav možemo pronaći ako nekome jednostavno poklonimo naše srce i zatim hodamo svijetom bez srca. Ako vam je netko uzeo srce, što vam je ostalo? Samo taj čovjek može uistinu razumjeti što je ljubav. Vanjske oznake čovjeka koji voli su bezuvjetna poslušnosti i potpuna samopredaja. On poštuje želje Voljenog ili Učitelja. On uvijek želi udovoljiti Učitelju, a ne sebi. Ljubav nije trgovanje. Ona ne raste na poljima niti se može kupiti u trgovini. Ona je već urođena u vašoj duši, a može se rasplamsati kada sretnete nekoga tko je preplavljen ljubavlju. Mi smo dobili ljudsko tijelo u kojemu možemo razviti ovu ljubav. Kao što sam vam rekao, ljubav je već urođena u vašoj duši; samo joj je potrebna vezanost za nekoga.Umjesto da smo našu dušu vezali za Naddušuili Boga, koji je sva Svijest, vezali smo je za tijelo, vanjska osjetila i vanjski svijet. To je bio razlog zbog kojeg uvijek ispočetka dolazimo na svijet. Ako volimo Boga, koji nas već kontrolira u tijelu, gdje ćemo tada otići? Otići ćemo tamo gdje je Bog, nećemo se vratiti na svijet. Ljubav se razbuđuje jedino u društvu onoga koji je već njom preplavljen. U Njegovom ćemo društvu biti zaraženi ljubavlju, ozračeni ljubavlju. Dakle, tko može ići ovim putem? Onaj tko može potpuno predati svoje tijelo, um, dušu, a čak i svoju vjeru. Njemu je Voljeni sve. On će biti spreman sve žrtvovati za Voljenog. Jednom su Sarmada, velikog sveca, upitali: "Evo, sreo si svog Učitelja, a što si s time dobio?" On je odgovorio: "Da biste spasili ljudsko tijelo, morate žrtvovati sve: novac i vezanosti. Da biste spasili vašu dušu, morati ćete žrtvovati vaše tijelo. Da biste spasili vašu vjeru, žrtvovati ćete mnogo života. Svi okovi mog tijela, uma, duše i vjere presječeni su. Što bi još više mogao dobiti? Sama riječ mog Učitelja je moja vjera. Sama riječ mog Učitelja je moj život. To je Kruh života, Voda života." Potpuna samopredaja i bezuvjetna poslušnost vanjske su oznake čovjeka koji voli. Tko ih može doseći? Onaj čovjek koji ne mari za vanjske stvari. Za njega je Učiteljeva riječ Biblija, Kuran, Vede. Naposljetku, što sadrže Vede, Kuran i Biblija? Tamo su samo zapisani iskazi određenih Učitelja koji su bili jedno sa Bogom, koji su bili Bog u čovjeku. Riječi koje su oni izgovorili činesadržajnaših svetih knjiga. U svetim knjigama zapisane su upravo te iste riječi Učitelja – koji su utjelovljena Riječ i koji su živjeli među nama.Ako sretnete čovjeka koji je utjelovljena Riječ, tada je Njegova riječ Biblija, Kuran, Guru Granth Sahib. Tko može predati svoje tijelo, vezanosti, dušu i sve ostalo? Samo onaj koji je stvarno hrabar. Vanjska oznaka ili obilježje onoga koji voli je bezuvjetna poslušnost Učitelju. "Ako me voliš, drži se mojih zapovijedi", rekao je Krist. Svi ostali Učitelji govorili su isto. Guru Nanak kaže: "Bog-u-čovjeku je pravi Bog, pravi Guru." Manje je nade za one koji štuju tijelo Učitelja,u usporedbi s onima koji slijede Njegove riječi. Oni će sasvim sigurno biti spašeni. Trebali bismo poštovati i slijediti Učiteljeve riječi. Tada ćemo se sigurno vratiti u Kuću našeg Oca. Za one koji se samo izvana klanjajuUčitelju i ne žive po onome što On govori, to će još potrajati. Tu vrijeme igra veliku ulogu. Iz tog je razloga Krist rekao: "Ako me volite, držite se mojih zapovijedi." To je prvi korak. Na kraju predajemo tijelo, um, dušu i sve ostalo. Tada čovjek nema više svoju volju – Učiteljeva Volja postaje njegova volja. Pogledajte samo gdje trenutno stojite. Ako sve predate, ostati će samo Bog. U engleskom jeziku, riječ "World" (svijet) sastoji se od slova W-O-R-L-D. Ako iz vas izbacite vaše "ja", vi ste Bog.Ako iz riječi "WORLD" izvadite "L", ostaje samo "WORD" (Riječ). "U početku bijaše Riječ, Riječ bijaše s Bogom i Riječ bijaše Bog." Taj mali "ja", taj ego, prepreka je na našem putu k Bogu. Kada se potpuno predate Bogu-u-čovjeku (Bogu-u-čovjeku, ne tijelu, iako to tijelo naravno poštujemo), tada vaš «I» ili "ja" nestaje. Postoji jedna priča o Guru Ram Dasu, četvrtom Guruu Sikha. Učitelji uvijek ispočetka iskušavaju svoje učenike, da vide koliko su se oni razvili. Dakle, njegov Učitelj (Guru Amar Das) zapovijedio je da se izgrade određene terase od blata. Svi su učenici po zapovijedi započeli gradnju tih terasa. Kada su bili gotovi, Učitelj ih je pogledao i rekao: "Nije dobro. Ovo nije u redu, morate izgraditi nove terase." Učenici su ih ponovno izgradili. Dva, tri, četiri, pet puta, uvijek ispočetka.Tada je Učitelj rekao: "Ovo mjesto nije dobro. Tamo dalje je bolje mjesto za njihovu gradnju." I tako, malo –pomalo, svi su učenici prestali s gradnjom terasa –svi, osim Guru Ram Dasa. Ostali učenici počeli su govoriti da je Učitelj ostario i da gubi razum. No Guru Ram Das im je odgovorio, sa suzama u očima: "Učitelj je sva mudrost, sva svijest. Ako bi On zatražio da cijeli moj život gradim ove terase i rušim ih, nastojao bih jedino slijediti Njegove zapovijedi." Njegova samopredaja bila je potpuna. Razumijete li me? To je potpuna samopredaja. Sada, korak po korak, sami prosuditegdje stojite. Ako želite sresti Boga, morate se potpuno predati. Kada nema onog "ja", što onda...? Bog je u vama, On ne dolazi izvana. To je Vaš "ja" ili ego koji stoji na putu. Taj egodolazi doizražaja kada ste svjesni tijela, bilo fizičkog, astralnog ili kauzalnog. Kada se uzdignete iznad fizičkog tijela, nestaje fizičko "ja". Kada se uzdignete iznad astralnog tijela, gubi se astralno "ja". Kada se uzdignete iznad kauzalnog tijela, tada ćete u potpunosti razumjeti tko ste. Vaša volja je volja Gospodina. Gospodinova volja je u vama. Kada počinjete s osnovama spiritualnosti? Kada slijedite zapovijedi Učitelja. Što Učitelj kaže? On kaže: "Održavajte vaš život čistim – ostavite na kratko vanjski svijet i okrenite se prema unutra – uzdignite se iznad svijesti tijela - dođite u kontakt sa Božjom Snagom u izražaju, sa principom Svjetla i Tona u vama. Zatim se uzdignite iznad astralnih i kauzalnih tijela. Spoznati ćete što znači: "Ja i moj Otac smo jedno." Tada se možete dalje uzdići u jedno Nadsvijesno stanje. To je krajnji cilj." Osnove spiritualnostipočinju potpunom samopredajom i bezuvjetnom poslušnošću Učitelju, Bogu u Njemu, naravno. Mi poštujemo Njegovo tijelo, jer je blagoslovljeno ono ljudsko tijelo u kojemu djeluje i manifestira se Božja snaga. Kako čovjek, koji je vezan za vanjske stvari – za ugled ili slavu – može učiniti i jedan korak na Putu? Dakle, to je ono što su posebno naglašavali svi Učitelji iz prošlosti. Oni su ovamo dolazili da vas vrate natrag k Bogu. Ali ljudi ne obraćaju pažnju na njih. Oni čak ponekad idu tako daleko da Učiteljima stvaraju poteškoće. Znači,ako želite napredovati na putu povratka k Bogu, morate učiniti ove korake. Morate imati bezuvjetnu poslušnost. Zašto da se vežete za fizičke užitke i vanjske stvari? Trebali biste se uzdignuti iznad svega toga.
