From the book "Morning Talks", by Sant Kirpal Singh, 22 January, 1968 Available as mp3 at www.audio.sant-kirpal-singh.org Life comes from Life. The radiation of a man who is enlivened with the God-into-Expression Power can be conveyed to another who is receptive. A man may be far away or he may be near. If he is not receptive he cannot have Life. Life is radiated through Life and also through the eyes. Eyes are the windows of the soul. The soul which is enlivened with the contact of God can radiate that enlivening principle through the eyes, not through the intellect. With the intellect, we can only understand what is what. Life is conveyed through Life and only to those who are receptive. Otherwise, they cannot be enlivened. So spirituality cannot be taught but it can be caught like an infection by those who become receptive. A man may be living in the same house as the Master for years and still might not have a spark of spirituality. A man who is living at a far off distance and who is receptive will derive more benefit than one who is living close by, but is not receptive. The life of one who is receptive will become the abode of all good qualities. That is why Kabir says that it is no use of sitting physically together unless your mind is receptive to the God-in-man. Receptivity is developed when all foreign thoughts are driven out. You remain and He remains. You are working at the back of the eyes and the God-in-man is also working there. The eyes are the windows of the soul and He teaches others without any language through the eyes. What I am telling you is a very delicate point of course. You may be living for years with the Master and yet not develop Life. As you think so you become. That Life becomes infused in your life if you become receptive. You will become One, no more two. That is why Saint Paul said, "It is I, not now I, but Christ lives in me". This very thing has been given out by almost all Masters, whether they came in India or abroad. Maulana Rumi says, "I am so much filled up with my Master that I have forgotten what is my name, whether He is in me or I am in Him. I cannot differentiate". So this is something which comes to the fate of those who become receptive. He is all wisdom, grace, mercy and love. These qualities can be developed in you by becoming receptive, not by word of mouth. By word of mouth, you will understand at the level of the intellect, but Life cannot be radiated, infused in you, unless you become receptive. You follow my point? This is the reason why even though hundreds of people may live together in the same house as the Master, they don’t develop spirituality. I quoted you two instances, one from Saint Paul and the other from Maulana Rumi. Such a man is called a Gurmukh. He becomes the mouthpiece of the Guru, but not at the level of the intellect. At the level of the intellect you may remember so many things about what the Master has said and given out. That has no life, you are talking only at the level of the intellect. So life or Consciousness is something else than intellectual wrangling or wrestling. You follow my point now? A very delicate point is brought out here. These things could not be explained in writing. Writings cannot convey the words which come through the mouth charged by higher Life. That is why Soami Ji said, "When you come to a Satsang, derive the full benefit of it". How? Forget everything when you come to the Satsang. Forget even the environments and who is sitting by you. Forget even your own body. You remain and He remains. Eyes speak to eyes. Eyes are the windows of the soul. When you are absorbed in this way, you will become receptive and receive Life. Life cannot be conveyed through paper or the intellect. The intellect only explains what can possibly be explained in words and nothing further. Sometimes language fails to express what is what. We are conscious beings, and we will become more conscious if we get the Bread of Life by becoming receptive. This radiation can be had while sitting quite close or even by sitting thousands of miles away. You can hear and see from thousands of miles by radio and television. If you are Naam personified, the Word made flesh, then why can’t you radiate everywhere? You can. The man who develops receptivity receives the true Bread of Life, and that will give more Life. Life is there already within you but you have not known your own self because you are environed by mind, matter and the outgoing faculties. You are so much identified with the body and outward things that you cannot disentangle yourself from them and know who you truly are. If you come in contact with your higher self, the higher conscious man, you will develop more. Guru Nanak said, "Only he is alive O Nanak, whose soul has become united with, who is the mouthpiece of the God-into-Expression Power, called Word or Naam". If you become receptive to Him who is Word made flesh, naturally you will have more Life. As I told you, spirituality cannot be taught, but caught, by becoming more receptive. You can only become receptive through love. The man who has love, even while sitting with thousands of people, he still remains all alone, because his whole attention is rivetted on the Master, with whom he is concerned. This is the way how you can develop receptivity. By becoming receptive, you will have more Life. By intellectual talk, you will only understand what is meant by Bread of Life, and nothing more. There is a Sanskrit word called "Upasna". Upasna means to sit by a Master. Nothing stands between you and the Master. He is fully conscious and you too, are a conscious being. Conscious beings should have nothing between them except maybe the physical body, the outgoing faculties or the intellect. We should rise above these things and come in contact with the higher self. This teaching is given by those who are Alive. Those who are not in contact with the higher self cannot get Life. When you get Life, you will become the abode of all virtues. By self introspection, you will weed out all imperfections. You try to have those higher virtues, but even then you fail here and there. If you get Life within you and if in addition, you have self introspection and weed out all imperfections from day to day, you will become more in contact. If you become receptive to a God-man, you need no diary, nothing whatsoever. You will get Life direct and when you get Life all other things will leave you. When you sit by a fire naturally all cold will go. You follow me now, exactly what I mean to say? So this is what is got from the physical presence of the Master. Those who come to the Master and do not develop receptivity consider that they will have more from their own efforts (of course a little boost will help them), but you can learn more in this way than any other way. Whenever you sit for meditation, what do you do? You have to make some effort, but it should be an effortless effort, in which there is no question of "doer". You should repose all hopes in the One in front of you or to the Power which is also working within you. Books give references but they don’t give what is now explained to you. Kabir says if you are sitting physically near somebody, but your mind is just going round all the world over, that is no Upasna. You cannot derive the full benefit from the presence of the Master. So the Master is not the physical body. He has a physical body to work through but He is Word made flesh. The Master gives you a conscious contact with the God-into-Expression Power, which is the Light and Sound Principle. The more you come in contact with the Light and Sound Principle within the manbody, where it is manifest, the more Life you will have. So Life comes from Life, and you get it when you become receptive. At the time of Initiation, you are given a contact with the God-into-Expression Power. If you practise it from day to day you can develop it. At the same time, you should have self introspection and weed out all imperfections. The more you come in contact with it, the more love, wisdom and Life you will have. By talking and attending discourses, you begin to understand something, but you don’t get it. To understand is one thing, to have that Being, that Life, is quite another. As I told you the other day, Satsang is a school in which you have come not only to learn but to have spirituality. First you understand what is what, then through receptivity you have that Life within you. This is a vast subject. As you go in, you understand more and more and more. From thousands of miles you are quite close to Him if you are receptive. That is why Kabir said, "The Master may be living across the seven oceans and the disciple is the other side. If the disciple just directs his attention to the Master, he will have the same benefit as though he were close to Him". For instance, when I get applications for Initiation, I write back and say, "All right, give him a sitting". It is the Word Power that communicates it. Never be deceived that the person who conveys the instructions is the giver. He is only the receptacle through whom the instructions are given. You can have Initiation even from thousands of miles without going through anybody if you become receptive. But generally, people do not understand, that is why some people are authorized to convey the instructions of Initiation. The Initiation is actually done the very moment that it is authorized. That comes from the Word within you or from the human pole where the Word is fully manifested. You understand now, what you learn from Satsang, what you have from Satsang? First is learning through theory at the intellectual level and then having that Bread of Life. That will give strength to your soul. On spiritual health depends the life of mind and body both. All imperfections will leave you, just as when you sit by a fire, all cold leaves you. By hearing the Sound Current you become the abode of all virtues. By hearing, you can determine the direction in which you have to go. By hearing, your inner eye is opened to see where you are going. Pity it is that we give little time to these things and only waste away our time in trifling things, I would say. When you have understood a thing, then follow it. So long as you have not understood, Satsang will help you. When you have got something, then live up to it, and have only the company of somebody who has got that Life within Him. That will give you a boost. These things are to be understood and then lived. By speaking about bread, your hunger cannot be appeased but you must have bread to eat. That is why Christ said, "I am the Bread of Life. This Bread of Life has come down from heaven. Whoever partaketh of it shall have everlasting Life". Partaketh of it – He is the Bread of Life of course. He also says, "Eat me and drink me". What to eat? He is Word made flesh. The more you come in contact with and devour that Word, the Light and Sound within you, the more you will be eating of the Bread of Life.

Sant Kirpal Singh, Delhi, Sawan Ashram, 22 January, 1968 Available as mp3 at www.audio.sant-kirpal-singh.org Život dolazi od Života. Zračenje čovjeka koji je oživljen Božjom Snagom u izražaju može se prenijeti na čovjeka koji je receptivan. Bilo da je on daleko ili u blizini, ako nije receptivan, ne može dobiti Život. Život zrači kroz Život i također kroz oči. Oči su prozori duše. Duša koja je oživljena kroz kontakt s Bogom, može zračiti taj princip Života kroz oči, ne kroz intelekt. Intelektom možemo samo razumjeti prirodu stvari. Život se prenosi kroz Život i samo onima koji su receptivni. Inače oni ne mogu dobiti taj Život. Dakle, spiritualnost se ne može poučavati, ona se može prenijeti, poput infekcije, dušama koje su receptivne. Netko može godinama živjeti u istoj kući u kojoj živi i Učitelj, bez da u njemu bude i iskra spiritualnosti. S druge strane, netko tko živi daleko ali je receptivan, dobiti će više koristi od onoga koji živi u blizini, ali nije receptivan. Život receptivnog čovjeka postat će prebivalište svih dobrih osobina. Zato Kabir kaže da nema smisla biti fizički blizu Učitelju ako naš um nije receptivan, otvoren za Boga-u-čovjeku. Receptivnost se razvija kada se uklone sve strane misli. Vi ste tu i On je tu. Vi djelujete na mjestu iza očiju, a tamo djeluje i Bog-u-čovjeku. Oči su prozori duše i On druge poučava kroz oči, bez riječi. To što vam govorim vrlo jeosjetljiva stvar. Možete godinama živjeti uz Učitelja, a ipak ne razviti Život. Što mislite, to i postajete. Taj Život ulijeva se u vaš život ako postanete receptivni. Postat ćete jedno s Njim, više nećete biti dvoje. Zato je Sveti Pavao rekao:"Živim - ali ne više ja, već Krist živi u meni." To su rekli svi Učitelji, bilo da su živjeli u Indiji ili drugdje. Maulana Rumi je rekao: "Toliko sam ispunjen mojim Učiteljem da sam zaboravio moje ime, da li je On u meni ili sam ja u Njemu. Ne mogu to razlikovati." Dakle, to je sudbina onih koji postanu receptivni. On je sva mudrost, milost, milosrđe i ljubav. Te se osobine mogu razviti u vama ako postanete receptivni, ne kroz izgovorene riječi. Pomoću riječi razumijete stvari na nivou intelekta, no sve dok ne postanete receptivni, život ne može zračiti, ulijevati se u vas. Razumijete li me? To je razlog zašto stotine ljudi mogu živjeti u istoj kući s Učiteljem, a ipak ne razviti spiritualnost. Naveo sam vam dva primjera, onaj svetog Pavla i drugi, Maulane Rumi. Takav se čovjek zove Gurmukh. On postaje osoba kroz koju govori Guru, ali ne na nivou intelekta. Na nivou intelekta vi možete zapamtiti vrlo mnogo stvari koje je rekao Učitelj. U tome nema života, govorite samo na nivou intelekta. Dakle, život ili svijest nije intelektualno naprezanje ili raspravljanje,to je nešto sasvim drugo. Razumijete li me sada? Ovdje govorim o jednom vrlo osjetljivom pitanju. Te stvari ne mogu se objasniti pisanom riječi. Napisano ne može prenijeti izgovorene riječi koje su ispunjene višim Životom. Zbog toga je Soami Ji rekao: "Kada dođete na Satsang, iz njega izvucite potpunu korist." Kako? Kada dođete na Satsang, zaboravite sve ostalo. Zaboravite čak i vaše okruženje i tko sjedi pokraj vas. Zaboravite čak i vaše vlastito tijelo. Tada ostajete samo vi i On. Oči govore očima. Oči su prozori duše. Kada ste u toj mjeri zadubljeni u Satsang, postat ćete receptivni i primit ćete Život. Život se ne može prenijeti papirom ili intelektom. Intelekt samo objašnjava ono što je moguće objasniti riječima i ništa više. Ponekad jezik ne uspijeva dovoljno izraziti stvari. Mi smo svjesna bića i postati ćemo svjesniji ako dobijemo Kruh Života, postajući receptivni. To se zračenje može primiti dok se nalazimo u blizini Učitelja ili čak ako smo tisuće kilometara daleko. Putem radio - ili televizijskog prijemnika vi možete slušati i gledati nešto što je udaljeno tisuće kilometara. Ako ste utjelovljeni Naam, utjelovljena Riječ, zašto onda ne biste mogli posvuda zračiti? Vi to možete. Čovjek koji razvije receptivnost prima istinski Kruh Života i to će mu dati više Života. Život je već u vama, no vi niste spoznali sami sebe jer ste okruženi umom, materijom i vanjskim osjetilima. Toliko ste identificirani sa tijelom i vanjskim stvarima da se ne možete odvojiti od njih i spoznati tko ste uistinu. Ako dođete u kontakt s vašim višim ja, čovjekom više svijesti, tada ćete se više razvijati. Guru Nanak je rekao: "Samo je onaj čovjek živ, o Nanak, čija se duša sjedinila s Božjom Snagom u izražaju, onaj kroz kojeg govori Božja Snaga u izražaju nazvana Riječ iliNaam." Ako postanete receptivni prema Njemu koji je utjelovljena Riječ, prirodno je da ćete dobiti više Života. Kao što sam vam rekao, spiritualnost se ne može naučiti već primiti, uhvatiti, tako da postanemo sve receptivniji. Receptivni možete postati jedino kroz ljubav. Čovjek koji u sebi ima ljubavi posve je sam, čak i onda kada se nalazi među tisućama ljudi, jer je čitava njegova pažnja usmjerena na Učitelja, kojim je zaokupljen. To je način na koji možete razviti receptivnost. Postajući receptivni, dobit ćete više Života. Intelektualnim razgovorima samo ćete razumjeti što se misli pod pojmom "Kruh Života" i ništa više. U sanskritu postoji riječ Upasna. Upasna znači sjediti kraj Učitelja. Ništa ne stoji između vas i Učitelja. On je potpuno svjestan, a i vi ste također svjesno biće. Između svjesnih bića ne bi trebalo stajati ništa osim možda fizičkog tijela, vanjskih osjetila ili intelekta. Moramo se uzdići iznad tih stvari i doći u kontakt s našim višim ja. Ovo učenje daju nam oni koji su ispunjeni tim Životom. Oni koji nisu u kontaktu s višim ja ne mogu dobiti Život. Kada dobijete Život, u vama će se nastaniti sve vrline. Samoanalizom ćete se riješiti svih nesavršenosti. Vi pokušavate razviti te visoke vrline, ali opet tu i tamo pogriješite. Ako u vama dobijete Život i ako uz to radite samoanalizu i svakodnevno iz vas uklanjate sve nesavršenosti, vaš će kontakt biti još čvršći. Ako postanete receptivni prema Bogu-čovjeku, ne trebate dnevnik ili nešto slično. Dobit ćete Život direktno i kada dobijete Život, nestati će vezanost za sve druge stvari. Kada sjedite kraj vatre, prirodno je da sva hladnoća nestaje. Da li ste sada razumjeli što vam točno želim reći? Dakle, to je ono što dobivamo od fizičkog prisustva Učitelja. Oni koji dođu k Učitelju, a ne razviju receptivnost smatraju da će vlastitim naporima dobiti više (naravno, mali poticaj će im pomoći) - ali kroz receptivnost možete naučiti više nego na bilo koji drugi način. Kad god sjednete u meditaciju, što radite? Morate se malo potruditi, ali to bi trebao biti trud bez napora gdje se ne postavlja pitanje: " Tko je činitelj?" Prepustite sve nade onomu Jednomu pred vama ili Snazi koja također djeluje u vama. Knjige nam daju neke naznake, ali ne ovo što vam je sada objašnjeno. Kabir kaže, ako sjedite kraj nekoga, ali vaše misli lutaju po čitavom svijetu, to nije Upasna. Ne možete izvući potpunu korist od prisustva Učitelja. Dakle, Učitelj nije fizičko tijelo. On ima fizičko tijelo da kroz njega djeluje, no On je utjelovljena Riječ. Učitelj vam daje svjestan kontakt s Božjom Snagom u izražaju, koja je Princip Svjetla i Tona. Što više dolazite u kontakt s Principom Svjetla i Tona u ljudskom tijelu gdje se on očituje, to više Života ćete dobiti. Dakle, život dolazi od života i vi ćete ga dobiti kada postanete receptivni. Pri Inicijaciji ste dobili kontakt sa Božjom Snagom u izražaju. Ako ste svakodnevno u tom kontaktu, možete ga razviti. Istovremeno morate raditi samoanalizu i riješiti se svih nesavršenosti. Što više dolazite u kontakt s tom Snagom, više ćete imati ljubavi, mudrosti i života . Razgovorima i raspravama počinjete nešto razumjeti, no preko njih to nećete dobiti. Razumjeti je jedna stvar, a dosegnuti to postojanje, taj Život, sasvim druga. Kao što sam vam rekao neki dan, Satsang je škola u koju ste došli ne samo da biste učili već i dobili spiritualnost. Najprije razumijete o čemu se radi, zatim kroz receptivnost dobivate taj Život u vama. To je vrlo opširna tema. Što se više njome bavite, to sve više i više razumijete. Ako ste receptivni, biti ćete mu blizu čak i ako ste udaljeni tisuće kilometara. Zbog toga je Kabir rekao: "Učitelj može živjeti iza sedam oceana, a učenik na ovoj strani. Ako učenik samo usmjeri svoju pažnju na Učitelja, primiti će istu dobrobit kao da mu je sasvim blizu." Na primjer, kada primim molbu za Inicijaciju, otpišem s riječima: "Dobro, neka sjedne u meditaciju, dajte mu uputstva." Snaga Riječi je ta koja daje kontakt. Nikad se nemojte se zavaravati da osoba koja prenosi uputstva daje kontakt. On je samo posuda, posrednik kroz kojeg se daju upute. Inicijaciju možete dobiti čak i na udaljenosti od tisuće kilometara bez ičijeg posredovanja, ako postanete receptivni. Ali uglavnom to ljudi ne razumiju; zbog toga su neke osobe ovlaštene davati upute za Inicijaciju. Inicijacija je zapravo dana u istom trenutku kada je odobrena. To dolazi od Riječi u vama ili od ljudskog tijela u kojemu je Riječ u potpunosti očitovana. Razumijete li sada što učite iz Satsanga, što dobivate od Satsanga? Prvo učimo na intelektualnom nivou, kroz teoriju, a zatim dobivamo taj Kruh Života. To će dati snagu vašoj duši. Život uma i tijela ovisi o spiritualnom zdravlju. Sve nesavršenosti će nestati, kao kada sjedite kraj vatre i sva hladnoća nestaje. Slušajući Struju Tona, u vama će se nastaniti sve vrline. Slušajući, moći ćete odrediti smjer u kojemu trebate ići. Slušajući, vaše će se unutarnje oko otvoriti da biste vidjeli kamo idete. Na žalost, mi tim stvarima posvećujemo malo vremena i trošimo ga na nevažne stvari, rekao bih. Kada ste razumjeli neku stvar,živite prema njoj. Tako dugo dok niste razumijeli, pomaže vam Satsang. Kada ste dobili nešto, tada živite po tome i budite samo u društvu onoga koji u sebi ima taj Život. To će vam dati poticaj. Te stvari moramo razumjeti, a zatim po njima živjeti. Pričajući o kruhu ne možete postati siti, morate dobiti kruh. Zato je Krist rekao: "Ja sam Kruh Života. Ovaj Kruh Života je sišao s neba. Tko god jede od ovoga Kruha živjet će zauvijek." Jedite to - On je Kruh Života, naravno. On je također rekao: "Jedite me i pijte me." Što trebamo jesti? On je utjelovljena Riječ. Što više dolazite u kontakt s Riječi, Svjetlom i Tonom u vama, unosite je u vas, to ćete više jesti od Kruha Života.
