From the book "Morning Talks", written by Sant Kirpal Singh 1968-02-01, Delhi, Sawan Ashram Talk available as mp3 at audio.sant-kirpal-singh.org We should have love for God, but how is this love developed? How can we develop love for God unless we see Him, come in contact with Him and enjoy His company? So for that, we have to love some human pole at which God is manifest, for the God in Him. So how to develop love for Him? That is the point. We should develop those very qualifications or attributes that the human body in which God is working has got. Let us say that He is a good painter, He likes painting. Then you should develop painting, because at the time of developing painting, you will always be remembering Him, for whom you are doing it. In this way, constant remembrance will come in. When you become a good painter, naturally you will draw His attention to you, because that qualification is in Him. Suppose He is a good singer. He likes singing, poetry or verse. Then you should develop that same talent within you. Poets are half saints, I tell you. When you develop that talent it will go to Him and He will be attracted to you. In preparing to be a painter, a singer or a poet, all the time you are thinking of Him. If you keep somebody in your mind, you will react in his mind. If the disciple remembers the Master, the God in Him, the Master will remember the disciple. Action and reaction will take place. So the first thing is, that we should develop those qualifications which are within the Master. For example, if some appointments become vacant and applications in writing are called for by the officer in charge, who himself has a good handwriting, who will stand the best chance of getting the positions? There may be hundreds of applications but only a few appointments. The officer will sort through all the applications and accept only those that are in good handwriting, because that very qualification is in him. So if you want to develop love for somebody, just develop the qualifications or attributes which are within Him. At the very time of developing them, you will be remembering the very same qualifications that are within Him. That will act in two ways. If you keep somebody in your heart, you will reside in the heart of Him whom you are remembering. At the very time of developing that qualification or attribute, you are also remembering Him, and that will attract Him. So this is the first thing required. There is no question of whether you are in His presence or away. You are just to develop that qualification. I have given so many examples. One I gave was about Bulleh Shah, who was a disciple of Inayat Khan. Bulleh Shah belonged to the high caste among the Mohammedans and he was afraid of what the people would say when they learned that a man of the higher caste had gone to someone belonging to a lower caste. So Inayat Khan sent some of His disciples to Bulleh Shah and asked them to say to him that he was now their brother. When they reached the street where Bulleh Shah lived, they called out: "Where is Bulleh Shah? He is our brother in faith". So the people told Bulleh Shah that his brothers had come. Bulleh Shah was afraid of what they would say, since he as a man of the higher caste had gone to a man of the lower caste and so he said, "No, they are not my brothers". When the disciples returned and told Inayat Khan what had occurred, he said, "All right, we won’t water his field anymore". The disciple who gets the attention, or Water of Life from the Master only then is all right. With a little thought of the Master, the very ground of the disciple is watered. So that was stopped. The man who had that blessing before was deprived of it. How could Bulleh Shah approach the Master? What face had he got to go to the Master and tell Him that he was not a disciple! Bulleh Shah knew that his Master was very fond of hearing poetry, verse and loving songs. Now, he had no taste for that sort of thing, but he had to develop it for the purpose of attracting the attention of the Master. So he went to some dancing girls, whose profession included these things. He remained with them for months and learning singing. He served them free, day and night, until he had developed that singing within him. A week or so later, the dancing girls were to sing their songs to Inayat Khan. Bulleh Shah said to them, "Well, look here, you have got these womanish clothes, give me some and I will go today and sing before the Master." So he put on the clothes and went to sing to his Master. He was singing from his heart and naturally radiation was there and the Master said, "Oh, he is Bulleh," and got up and embraced him. People usually see from their own smoky glasses and they started saying, "Oh, look here, the Master has gone down and embraced a woman! The cat is out of the bag now." Inayat Khan said, "Bulleh, take off these clothes, so that the people may know who you are." Bulleh Shah said, "No, I am not worthy, I am just a fool who has left you. I have committed a heinous crime in not calling myself your disciple." How did he succeed? On account of the attributes or qualifications which his Master had, who was fond of singing. He developed singing to please his Master. This is one example, but there are also others. Lord Rama was exiled for fourteen years, and one woman called Shivri, who was living in the wilderness to where Lord Rama was exiled, heard that he was coming. She thought to herself that he would be coming bare footed and that the thorns would prick his feet. So she began clearing the way of all thorns. Love is developed not necessarily by seeing, but also by hearing. She also wondered what she would offer him to eat. In the wilderness there wasn’t much, only berries. So she started picking the berries, tasted each one of them, and kept only the sweet berries. There were also some great yogis living in the wilderness but Lord Rama never went to them first. He went to Shivri, who cleared the way for him so that the thorns would not hurt his feet, and who had kept the half eaten berries only for the sake of knowing those which were sweet and those which were sour. So love knows no law. After Rama had been to Shivri, he went to visit the yogis. There happened to be a pond where the yogis lived which was full of insects and the yogis asked Lord Rama to wash his feet in the pond, so that the insects would be cleared out. Lord Rama declined and said, "No, you are great yogis, it is better if you wash your feet in the pond, and it will then be cleared." All of the yogis put their wash water into the pond but it was not cleared of the insects. The yogis then said, "You are Lord Rama, if you wash your feet in the pond it will surely be cleared." "All right," said Lord Rama, "We’ll try it." He washed his feet in the pond but it still was not cleared. Lord Rama then told the yogis to wash the feet of Shivri (whom they disliked) and when they washed her feet and put the wash water into the pond, it was cleared. Those who love God, love the Master, the God in Him of course. It is not matter of show. That very power is within you and knows every act of yours, what you are doing and why. He knows the very trend of your thoughts. Love knows no show. Love knows service and sacrifice. The outward symbol of love is a sweet tongue, imbued with humility. When you have developed that love, what should you do? You must have patience, perseverance and go on with it. Just like a moth which burns itself on the flame of a candle but never makes any sound. So those who want to love God should not care for their name or fame, honour, this or that thing. They should leave every greatness that they have got physically outside, and lay down at His feet. If they lose their life in sacrifice, even then they won’t mention it. So this is a very delicate question, I would say. Those who have love for God, or the God-in-man, well, this is a relation between you and the God in Him and nobody else. You have to develop it. For that you must have perseverance. It takes time. The work of the servant is to do work, that’s all. It is for the Master to see what He has to give to him. Once a very nice Arabian horse was given to Guru Har Govind, the sixth Guru of the Sikhs. Guru Har Govind said that whoever should recite from the Jap Ji with no other though intervening during the time that the verse was being recited, would be given his heart’s desire. One man came forward and said that he would recite. He began reciting and just before he was nearing the end, he thought to himself, "I wonder what the Guru will give me?" He remembered the Arabian horse that had been given to the Guru and thought that it should be given to him. When he completed the recitation, the Guru ordered that the horse be given to him. He then turned to the man and said, "You poor fellow, you did not know what I was going to give you . I was going to give you my very own place." So it is not for you to judge things and request what you want, but it is for Him to see what is really in your best interests. How can you develop love? First, just develop those attributes which are in the Master. If He is a good painter, then develop painting. If He is a good singer, then develop singing. Our Master used to have wells dug for the good of the people at large. So those people than began to dig wells for Him and He was pleased. He wanted selfless servants who would never utter any word to Him about what they were doing for the Master. He was a very plain spoken man. Those who went to Him and said, "Master, I have committed this or that sin," He would say, "All right," and forgive them. But those who concealed their shortcomings from Him would lose out. When we go to the Master, we simply think that He does not know anything. But at the heart of hearts He knows what you say. As I was telling you yesterday, just like something in a glass jar, He sees what is in us. Even if you try to conceal it, He still sees. So we should go to the Master with very clean hearts, with love for Him, with all due deference for Him. Then naturally, He will give His own Self to you. So this is how we can develop love for the Master, for the God in Him. The attributes that He has developed in Him, you should try and develop in you. What are they? He wants love, no show, strict obedience to what He says. Once He says something, obey Him. Obey Him literally. While developing these things you will all the time be having the sweet remembrance of the Master within and also outwardly. It is for the Master to see what He has to give. He has come only to give Life. He has no other business. He is Life, Light and Love. He can give you these qualities only when you have become receptive and there is nothing that stands between you and Him. The attributes of God are reflected in Him. If you just adopt those attributes in your own life, then you will be loved by the Master and by the God in Him. As Christ said, "Those who love me, will be loved by my Father, and whom my Father loves, I manifest myself to him". All Masters have said the same thing.

Sant Kirpal Singh, 1968-01-27 Available as mp3 at www.audio.sant-kirpal-singh.org Ako je Učitelj ili Guru s vama zadovoljan, budite uvjereni da je i Bog s vama zadovoljan, jer je Bog očitovan u Njemu. Ako On duboko u srcu s vama nije zadovoljan, tko se onda kod Njega može zauzeti za vas? Ako je Bog nezadovoljan, postoji jedan način i mjesto gdje mu možete doći blizu.To je tamo gdje je Bog očitovan, to je Bog-u-čovjeku. Ako je Bog-u-čovjeku nezadovoljan s vama, onda mu se nigdje drugdje ne možete obratiti. Po čemu čovjek može spoznati ima li istinsku ljubav za Učitelja ili Gurua? Ako je Učitelj s vama nezadovoljan i naziva vas pogrdnim imenima, čak ni tada se vaša ljubav za Njega ne bi smjela poljuljati, nimalo. To vam može biti jedan pokazatelj. Čak i ako vas naziva pogrdnim imenom ili vas kori (naravno, On to neće učiniti) i dalje ćete ga voljeti i biti mu naklonjeni. Ponekad dijete kaže nedopuštene stvari majci, no čak ni tada mu to majka neće uzeti za zlo. Kada će Učitelj biti zadovoljan s nama? Postoje dva načina. Prvi je: koje god osobine On posjedovao, i mi sami bismo trebali preuzeti. Trebali bismo pokušati biti kao On, živjeti prema onim osobinama koje vidimo u Njemu. Osobine u Njemu su osobine Boga u minijaturi. Bog ih daje svima koje je stvorio, jer je prirodno da Stvoritelj voli ono što je stvorio. Zato će Guru voljeti svoje učenike, jer je On taj koji im je dao rođenje na unutarnjem putu. Budući da On voli nas, tako i mi trebamo voljeti sve. On neće dopustiti da itko pati i ni mi to ne bismo trebali dozvoliti. Dijelite s drugima. To su neke od vrlina koje posjeduje Učitelj i one su vrline Boga koji se odražava u Njemu. Drugi način je da živimo po onome što on govori, strogo, doslovno. Dao sam primjer petorice Pandava prinčeva koje su poslali Guruu na školovanje. Prva lekcija koju im je dao bila je naučiti govoriti istinu, biti iskren. Uputio ih je da to zapamte. Zatim su oni otišli i svi su se, osim jednoga, vratili slijedećeg dana. Guru je upitao ostale četvoricu Pandava gdje je onaj peti, a oni su odgovorili da on pamti lekciju koja mu je bila dana. Nakon tjedan dana on se vratio i rekao: „Guruji, sada sam naučio to što ste mi rekli: govoriti istinu, uvijek biti iskren.“ Ostali su ga ismijali, rekavši: „Guruji, mi smo tih par riječi zapamtili istog trenutka kada ste nam ih rekli, a njemu je za to bilo potrebno tjedan dana“. Guru im je tada objasnio pravo značenje te lekcije i od četvorice Pandava zatražio da obećaju da neće govoriti laži. Dakle, što god Guru kaže, živite po tome. Jednostavno, upišite to u vaš vlastiti život. Jedan pandit imenom Guru Dutt bio je učenik Swami Dayananda, osnivača Arya Samaj. Netko mu je rekao da bi trebao napisati životopis njegovog Gurua. „Dobro“, rekao je, „napisat ću ga.“ Prošla su dva, tri mjeseca, i upitali su ga što radi. On je rekao: „Pišem.“ Prošlo je šest mjeseci, godina dana, i oni su opet željeli znati kako daleko je došao. Odgovorio im je: „Oh, jako puno pišem.“ Prošle su daljnje dvije godine i oni su ga ponovo upitali koliko je napisao. „O, pišem bez prestanka.“ rekao je. Što znači pisati o Učiteljevom životu? To znači razviti vrline Učitelja u vlastitom životu. Što god da kažemo neka to budu lijepe riječi. Ljubazne riječi pune poniznosti ništa nas ne koštaju. Ako imate takav životni stav, mislim da ćete izbjeći devedeset posto vaših neprilika. Dakle, trebamo živjeti po onome što Učitelj kaže, i to doslovno. To je jedan način da učinimo Učitelja ili Gurua zadovoljnim s nama. Drugi način je da vi sami preuzmete vrline koje On ima. Ponekad Učitelj mora razviti učenika kako bi ga učinio čovjekom. Ponekad ga mora poticati govoreći mu: „U redu, bio si jako dobar, dao si sve od sebe, zadovoljan sam.“ Drugi put On mora reći da je učenik učinio nešto krivo i posvećuje pažnju riječima Učitelja. Ne posvećivati pažnju tome što Učitelj govori je više od smrti za čovjeka koji voli Učitelja. Dovoljna je mala riječ ohrabrenja od Učitelja i učenik dobiva iznutra poticaj. Učitelj ima različite načine da u njemu razvije čovjeka, ali ljudi ga uglavnom ne razumiju. Trebali biste pokušati preslikati život Učitelja u vlastitom životu, preuzeti vrline koje On posjeduje i uz to živjeti po onome što On govori. Najbolji način da postanete prebivalište svih vrlina je da govorite ljubazne riječi pune poniznosti. Učitelj mora očistiti srce učenika, ne u jednom danu, za to je potrebno vrijeme. Odjeću koja je oprana možemo pospremiti u ormar, ali ne i onu koja je prljava. Učitelj voli učenika kao što majka voli svoje dijete. Ako je dijete prljavo, što ona čini? Ona ga jednostavno s puno ljubavi opere i zatim privine na svoje grudi. Volite grešnika, ali mrzite grijeh. Nemojte se izražavati riječima punim mržnje, već već ljubaznim riječima punim poniznosti. Time ćemo biti dragi Učitelju. Trebali biste živjeti po onome što On govori, čak i ako vas to košta vašega života. To nam pokazuje kada će Učitelj s nama biti zadovoljan. Ako je On zadovoljan, Bog u Njemu je zadovoljan, a onda je i Bog sam zadovoljan. Pravu ljubav za Učitelja možemo najprije prepoznati po tome da se ona nikad ne poljulja, pa čak i ako bi vas On mrzio i nazivao pogrdnim imenima-Bože sačuvaj, On to nikada neće učiniti-no čak i ako se to dogodi, to ne bi smjelo uzdrmati vašu ljubav. On vam možda na neko vrijeme neće dozvoliti da budete u Njegovoj blizini - govorim iz vlastitog iskustva - zbog nekih glasina ili iz nekih drugih razloga, no i tada mu trebate biti privrženi, trebate ga voljeti. To je pokazatelj ljubavi jednog čovjeka koji može reći: „To više nisam ja, već Krist živi u meni.“ Drugo, pokušajte sve Njegove vrline učiniti dijelom vašeg života i živite po njima. I treće, živite po onome što On govori, doslovno, ne obraćajući pažnju na ono što vaš um govori ili što vaše srce želi ili što bi vam srce htjelo. Jednom sam imao dužnost održati Satsang u Lahoreu, jedne nedjelje. Upravo u to vrijeme posjetio sam mog Učitelja koji je živio u Beasu i tamo sam stigao oko ponoći. Imao sam veliku sreću da mi je bilo dozvoljeno posjetiti Učitelja u bilo koje vrijeme. On je stanovao na trećem katu i ja sam se popeo gore k Njemu. Bilo je već kasno i već sam namjeravao ostati sa mojim Učiteljem i odrediti nekog drugog da održi govor. Došlo je vrijeme za odlazak u Lahore i Učitelj je rekao: „Ne moraš li održati Satsang u Lahoreu?“ „Da“, odgovorio sam. „Dobro, idi onda.“ I tako sam, naravno, uhvatio vlak za Lahore i održao Satsang. Dakle, ukazao sam vam na tri stvari koje vam pokazuju da li imate istinsku ljubav za Učitelja. On je prebivalište svih dobrih osobina. Koje god osobine su u Bogu, te iste se odražavaju i u Učitelju. Živite po njima, usvojite ih i živite strogo, doslovno po onome što On kaže. Imajte više poštovanja prema Njegovim riječima nego prema Njegovom tijelu. Ako se od četvoro ili petoro djece jedno dijete ponaša onako kako Njegov otac želi i od njega ništa ne traži, dok druga traže ovo ili ono i ne žive po onome što otac govori, koga će otac voljeti? Zato pokušajte učiniti Učitelja zadovoljnim s vama, živeći onako kako sam vam rekao. Samo poprimite, razvijte one osobine koje On ima, upišite ih u vaš život, ne na papir. Naveo sam vam primjer jednog pandita, Guru Dutta, koji je bio učenik Swami Dayananda, osnivatelja Arya Samay. Kada su ga neki ljudi zamolili da napiše životopis Swami Dayananda, odgovorio im je da će to učiniti. Prošla su dva, tri mjeseca, zatim godina dana. Upitali su ga kako napreduje. „Pa, pišem.“ rekao je. Prošle su dvije ili tri godine, a oni su ga opet upitali koliko je daleko došao. Odgovorio je: „Pišem bez prestanka.“ „Pa što si na kraju sve napisao?“ upitali su ga. „Pisati životnu priču Učitelja znači jednostavno prenijeti Njegov život u vlastiti. Pišem u vlastitom životu.“ Takvi učenici čine čuda, zbog Boga u Njemu. Danas ste saznali tri stvari: Prva je pokazatelj istinske ljubavi za Učitelja. Kao prvo, kako možete vidjeti da li zaista volite Učitelja. Čak i ako vas On naziva pogrdnim imenima, biti ćete mu privrženi. Drugo je da one osobine Boga koje se odražavaju u Njemu razvijete u vašem vlastitom životu. To su jednostavnost i ljubazne riječi pune poniznosti. Treće je da živite točno po onome što On govori, ne mareći čak ni za vlastiti život. Ako sve prepustite Učitelju, Učitelj mora preuzeti brigu za dijete. Dakle, to su tri stvari koje sam vam danas objasnio. Te stvari ne nalaze se u knjigama u sažetom obliku ili tako detaljno kao u ovim jutarnjim razgovorima. Ako želite biti privrženi Učitelju, onda živite po onome što On govori. On vas nikada neće napustiti, zapamtite to! Krist je rekao: „Ja vas nikada neću napustiti niti vas se odreći, sve do kraja svijeta.“ Učitelj nikada ne napušta učenika. On je Bog u Njemu, kako bi to onda mogao? On nas je sve stvorio. Vi ste Bog u vama i vi ste mikro-bogovi. Učitelj nastoji u vama razviti Boga koji je u Njemu, tražeći od vas da živite po Njegovim riječima i koji vas moli da živite po Njegovom životu. To su najvažnije stvari koje morate razumjeti i po njima živjeti.
