From the book "Morning Talks", written by Sant Kirpal Singh 1967-11-02, Delhi, Sawan Ashram Talk available as mp3 at audio.sant-kirpal-singh.org All Masters have said that God is the Guru, the true Master. He is the controlling Power within us. In the body we have got so many apertures, two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, a mouth and two more below, but still we cannot run away out of it. Our breathing goes out, but cannot remain outside. Some Power is pushing it back into the body. That controlling Power is called God. When that is withdrawn, we have to leave the body. So God is the true Guru and is the controlling Power in each one of us. Where that Power manifests, that manifested God-in-man is called a Master. Not the son of man, but the son of man in whom He is manifested. So the true Master is God Himself. Not God Absolute, but the God who has come into expression, who is sustaining and controlling the whole Universe. Guru Nanak was asked, "Who is your Guru, your Master?" He replied, "The God-into-Expression Power, the Shabda is the Guru. My soul is His disciple." Kabir also said the same thing. He was asked, "Where is your Guru residing?" He said, "Beyond and above these outgoing faculties. If you come up there, you will find Him." That Power is the controlling Power, keeping us in the body. So the true Master is the God-into-Expression Power that is controlling all the Universe. In which human body He is manifest, that body is respected. For the manifestation of God in Him, we respect Him, we love Him. In the world the question arises as to whom should we love? God is love, our soul is also love, love is innate in our soul and naturally wants to be attached to somebody. Our soul is at present attached to outward things, to the physical body, to our children and families. What is the result? We have to come back again and again, to where we are attached. All things are changing, not stationary. So we should love somebody who is not changing. "O God, Thou art eternal, unchangeable permanence. Thou art, we wish to be attached to Thee." Those who are attached to the changing panorama of life cannot see God unless they withdraw from it. The true Guru is the God-in-man, the manifested God-in-man. Whom should we love the most? He who is able to withdraw our attention from outside, drag us up and open the inner eye to see Him. God is Light. Who can remove the darkness when you close your eyes and manifest the light in you? He who is competent to do that is called a Sadh, Sant, Mahatma or Guru. He is not the son of man. We respect His body only for the reason that God is manifest there. God is also within us, but He is latent. The God in Him is competent to withdraw our attention from outside, drag us up from the lower portion of the body to the seat of the soul within the body and open our inner eye to see the Light of God. It is a wonderful body, I would say, where God is manifest. To love Him is the first thing to get the highest aim of our life, which is to know God. He sees God and He enables us to see God within the body. Once you get something to start with, some capital, you can develop it from day to day and rise into Him. If you love somebody who is coming and going, you will have to come back. You will follow him. If you love somebody in whom God is manifest, where will you go? You will go where He will go. If He is not to return, then you are also not to return. He tells us that we have got this manbody, which is the highest rung in Creation. You are fortunate, but the highest aim before you is to know God. This you can do only in the manbody, which you have fortunately got , with the grace of God, and in no other body. So this is your turn to see God, to meet God. All other things have to be paid off, such as debts of giving and taking, as a reaction of the past. If we just attach our souls to God, naturally we are not to come back. So if you love somebody, it follows naturally that you have to do what He says. Christ said, "If you love me, keep my commandments". This is thy turn to meet God. The manbody is the highest rung in Creation and this you gave got by the grace of God. You should make the best use of it. What is the best use of the manbody? It is to know God, but to know God, we must know ourselves first. Self knowledge precedes God knowledge. It is not a matter of inferences or feelings, but is a matter of self analysis, of rising above body-consciousness. When you know the Self, you become the knower of the Overself, which is controlling you in the body. The God-into-Expression Power manifests as Light and Sound principle. When you withdraw from outside and rise above body-consciousness you will see with the inner eye the Light of God and hear with the inner ear the Sound or the Voice of God. One who is competent in these Principles is called a Master, Sadh or Sant. So the best thing is to love such a person in whom God is manifested. If you come across a Pole where that Powerhouse is connected, you come nearer to the Powerhouse. Maulana Rumi says, "When you come across a true Master, you come nearer to God, because God is manifested in Him". When you come to His feet, you get withdrawal by radiation. The more your attention is riveted in Him, the more you think of Him, the more you are drawn within. As your soul withdraws from the body, you see the Light of God. The highest ideal before us is to know God, but to know God we must meet with somebody in whom He is manifest and who can also manifest in us the same God Power that is working within the body. He does not ask you to leave the world and go to the forest. He says remain in the world, pay off all debts, give and take, which you have to do as the reactions of the past. Pay off your debts sweetly and direct your footsteps to God. He who can guide you in that direction is called a Master. This is no reserve right of any outer religion. Masters have been coming in all religions. Remain anywhere you like but meet such a Master in whom God is manifest and who has the competence to make that Power of God manifest in you. Such a man while living in the world and always thinking of God will naturally go to where God is. If you are attached to the world, you will have to come back again and again. The manbody is the highest rung in Creation and we are fortunate in having it. The best use of it is to know God. To know God, we must know ourselves first. It is a practical subject of self analysis and can be demonstrated by someone who rises above body consciousness daily. So it is He whom we should love in the world. He sees that God resides in every heart and has respect for everybody.

Svi su Učitelji govorili da je Bog Guru, istinski Učitelj. On je kontrolirajuća Snaga u nama. U tijelu imamo mnogo otvora – dva oka, dva uha, dvije nosnice, usta i dva otvora dolje, ali ipak ne možemo iz njega pobjeći. Naš dah izlazi iz tijela, ali tamo ne može ostati. Neka ga Snaga vraća natrag u tijelo. Ta se kontrolirajuća Snaga zove Bog. Kada se ona povuče, moramo napustiti tijelo. Dakle, Bog je istinski Guru i On je kontrolirajuća Snaga u svakome od nas. Čovjek u komese ta Snaga očituje, taj očitovani Bog-u-čovjeku,naziva se Učitelj. Ne samo sin čovječji, već sin čovječji u kojem je On očitovan. Istinski Učitelj je dakle Bog sam. Ne apsolutni Bog, već Bog koji je došao u izražaj, koji održava i kontrolira cijeli univerzum. Guru Nanaka sujednom upitali: "Tko je tvoj Guru, tvoj Učitelj?" On je odgovorio: "Božja Snaga u izražaju, Shabd je Guru. Moja duša je Njegov učenik." Kabir je rekao isto. Njega su upitali: "Gdje živi tvoj Guru?" On je rekao: "S onu stranu i iznad ovih vanjskih osjetila. Ako se uzdignete do tog mjesta, pronaći ćete ga." Ta Snaga je kontrolirajuća Snaga koja nas drži u tijelu. Istinski Učitelj je Božja Snaga u izražaju koja kontrolira cijeli univerzum. Mi poštujemo ono tijelo u kojemu je On očitovan. Mi ga poštujemo i volimo zato jer se u Njemu očitovao Bog. U svijetu se postavlja pitanje koga bismo trebali voljeti. Bog je ljubav, naša duša je također ljubav, ljubav je urođena u našoj duši i prirodno je da želi biti vezana za nekoga. Sada je naša duša vezana za vanjske stvari, za fizičko tijelo, za našu djecu i obitelj. Što je posljedica toga? Mi se moramo uvijek ponovno vraćati natrag, tamo gdje smo vezani. Sve se stvari mijenjaju, nisu stalne. Zato trebamo voljeti nekoga koji je nepromjenjiv, koji se ne mijenja. "O Bože, Ti si vječno, nepromjenjivo trajanje.Ti jesi, a mi želimo biti vezani za Tebe." Oni koji su vezani za promjenjivu panoramu života ne mogu vidjeti Boga – osim ako se ne povuku od svega toga.Istinski Guru je Bog u čovjeku, očitovani Bog u čovjeku. Koga najviše trebamo voljeti? Onoga koji može povući našu pažnju od vanjskog svijeta, povući nas prema gore i otvoriti unutarnje oko da vidimo Njega. Bog je Svjetlo. Tko može ukloniti tamu kada zatvorite oči i očitovati Svjetlo u vama? Onaj tko to može učiniti zove se Sadh, Svetac, Sant, Mahatma ili Guru. On nije sin čovječji. Mi poštujemo Njegovo tijelo samo zato jer je u njemu očitovan Bog. Bog je također u nama, ali je sakriven. Bog u Njemu može povući našu pažnju od vanjskog svijeta, povući nas iz nižeg dijela tijela prema gore do sjedišta duše u tijelu i otvoriti naše unutarnje oko da vidimo Božje Svjetlo. Prekrasno je ono tijelo, rekao bih, gdje je Bog očitovan. Ljubav prema Njemu jeprvi korak ka dosezanju najvišeg cilja života – spoznaja Boga. On vidi Boga i omogućava nam da unutar našeg tijela vidimo Boga. Kada jednom dobijete nešto čime možete započeti, neki kapital, možete ga povećavati, to razvijati iz dana u dan i uzdići se u Njega. Ako volite nekoga tko se rađa i umire, morati ćete se vratiti. Slijediti ćete ga. Ako volite onoga u kome je Bog očitovan, kamo ćete otići? Otići ćete tamo gdje On ide. Ako se On ne mora vratiti, tada ni vi to nećete morati. On nam govori da smo dobili ovo ljudsko tijelo koje je najviša stepenica u Kreaciji. Vi ste sretnici, ali najviši cilj pred vama jest spoznati Boga. To možete učiniti samo u ljudskom tijelu, kojeg ste, srećom, dobili Božjom milošću, i ni u kojem drugom tijelu. Tako ste vi na redu da vidite Boga, da sretnete Boga. Sve se druge stvari moraju otplatiti, kao što su dugovi pri davanju i uzimanju, kao posljedica djela iz prošlosti. Ako našu dušu vežemo uz Boga, naravno da se nećemo vratiti natrag. Zato, ako volite nekoga, prirodno je da ćete raditi ono što on kaže. Krist je rekao: "Ako me volite, držite se mojih zapovijedi." Na vama je red da sretnete Boga. Ljudsko tijelo je najviša stepenica u Kreaciji i dobili ste ga Božjom milošću. Trebate ga iskoristiti najbolje što možete. Koja je najveća korist od ljudskog tijela? Spoznaja Boga. No, da bismo spoznali Boga, najprije trebamo spoznati sebe. Znanje o sebi prethodi znanju o Bogu. To nije stvar razuma ili osjećaja već samoanalize, uzdizanja iznad svijesti tijela. Kada upoznate sebe same, vaše pravo ja, moći ćete upoznati Nad-ja, koje vas kontrolira u tijelu. Božja Snaga u izražaju očituje se kao princip Svjetla i Tona. Kada se povučete od svega vanjskog i uzdignete iznad svijesti tijela, unutarnjim okom vidjeti ćete Božje svjetlo i unutarnjim uhom čuti Ton ili Božji glas. Onaj koji je u tome kompetentan, sposoban, zove se Učitelj, Sadh, Sant ili Svetac. Dakle, najbolje je voljeti onog čovjeka u kojem je očitovan Bog. Ako dođete do stupa koji je spojen s elektranom, to će vas približiti elektrani. Maulana Rumi kaže: "Kada dođete k istinskom Učitelju, došli ste bliže Bogu, jer je Bog očitovan u Njemu." Kada dođete k Njegovim stopalima, Njegovim zračenjem ćete se povući prema unutra. Što je više vaša pažnja posvećena Njemu, to ćete više biti povučeni prema unutra. Kada se vaša duša povuče iz tijela, vidite Božje Svjetlo. Najviši cilj pred nama jest spoznati Boga, ali da bismo spoznali Boga moramo sresti onoga u kojem je On očitovan, i koji i u nama može očitovati istu Božju Snagu koja djeluje u tijelu. On ne traži od vas da napustite svijet i odete u divljinu. On kaže: ostanite u svijetu, otplatite sve dugove, davanja i primanja koja morate otplatiti kao posljedice djela iz prošlosti. Otplatite vaše dugove ljubazno i usmjerite vaše korake prema Bogu. Onaj koji vas može voditi u tom smjeru zove se Učitelj. Niti jedna religija to pravo ne može zahtijevati samo za sebe. Učitelji su dolazili u svim religijama. Ostanite gdje god želite, ali dođite k onom Učitelju u kojemu je očitovan Bog i koji je kompetentan tu Božju Snagu očitovati u vama. Takav čovjek, koji uvijek misli na Boga dok živi u svijetu, otići će tamo gdje je Bog. Ako ste vezani za svijet, morati ćete se uvijek ponovno vraćati (na svijet). Ljudsko tijelo je najviša stepenica u Kreaciji i sretni smo što ga imamo. Najviše što možemo dobiti od njega je spoznaja Boga. Da bismo spoznali Boga, najprije trebamo spoznati sebe. To je praktična stvar samoanalize i može nam je pokazati onaj koji se svakodnevno uzdiže iznad svijesti tijela. Dakle, On je taj kojeg trebamo voljeti na ovom svijetu. On vidi da Bog živi u svakom srcu i ima poštovanja za svakoga.
