Guest guest Posted April 6, 2001 Report Share Posted April 6, 2001 >From the Ocean of Love (Anurag Sagar) of Kabir, a classic scripture used by the Kabir Panth and Sant Mat.<br><br>Manglacharan: Hymn of God's Grace<br><br>First of all I salute the Sat Guru, Who showed me the Inconceivable <br> -- God<br>Who, lighting the lamp of the Master's Knowledge and opening the<br> veil, made me have His darshan [vision].<br>With the Master's grace I have achieved Him, to achieve Whom, scholars<br> worked very hard.<br>His form cannot be described; His soul is the nectar in which I have<br> absorbed myself.<br>___<br><br>Who deserves it?<br><br>Only the connoisseur, who will test the Shabda <br>And listen to the Teachings with full attention<br>And within whom these Teachings will dwell, only he will understand <br> this. <br>He within whom the Sun of Knowledge will manifest and remove <br> the darkness of attachment -- only he will understand this.<br>I am telling you this Anurag Sagar (Ocean of Love) -- only rare <br> saints will understand. <br>___<br><br>Without love one cannot achieve it<br><br>Any learned saint who thinks over my words and has love in his<br> heart will achieve Nirvana.<br>___<br><br>The glory of the Inconceivable is limitless -- millions of suns and<br> moons cannot vie with one hair.<br>The radiance of one soul is equal to the light of sixteen suns.<br>___<br><br>One who gets Sat Naam from the Satguru goes to Sat Lok climbing<br> the rope of Naam.<br>___<br><br>The Naam of Sat Purush Itself is the Essential Shabda and the <br> Simran of Sat Purush is the Essential Shabda's recognition.<br>One who merges into It without doing Simran by tongue -- even<br> Kal is afraid of him.<br>The path of the Essential Shabda is subtle, easy and perfect; but<br> only the brave can follow it.<br>___<br><br>The Yoga of True Knowledge is the Abode of Happiness, from<br> which one gets Naam and goes to the Real Home.<br>___<br><br>The Union of Surat and Shabda -- when one gets Shabda, he<br> reaches the realm of the Saints.<br>It is the play of the drop and the ocean. What else can one say?<br>___<br><br>Giving up the qualities of mind, one should follow the Path of the<br> Master.<br>Such a soul goes to Sat Lok and derives Happiness from the Ocean<br> of Happiness.<br><br>Understand the soul as the drop, and the Naam of the Satguru as the<br> ocean,<br>Says Kabir with proof: Dharam Das [Kabir's disciple], understand this!<br><br>-- The Anurag Sagar of Kabir, Sant Bani Books<br>_________<br>Footnotes:<br><br>Satguru: Master of Truth or God (Sat), or True Master.<br><br>Shabda: The Sound Current; also called Naam or Word. The projected <br>Creative Force of the Positive Power or Sat Purush, ultimately <br>responsible for the entire creation and present in each individual in <br>the form of Light and Sound, which can be seen and heard, and which <br>are the agency that pulls the individual back to his/her essence, Sat <br>Purush.<br><br>Sat Naam: The Expression of Existence; the True Name given to the <br>Primal Sound Current as it comes into Being at the stage of Sach <br>Khand as Sat Purush or the Positive Power, sometimes used as a <br>synonym for Naam or Shabda, the Sound Current as a whole.<br><br>Sat Purush: The True Being; the first full expression of the <br>Absolute God. Called also the Supreme Father or the Positive Power, <br>He is the Lord of Sach Khand and is the highest form of God that can <br>be called personal. Also called Sat Naam.<br><br>Sat Lok: The Region of Truth; the fifth inner plane, first <br>completely spiritual plane, and the seat of Sat Purush. This is the <br>stage to which Sants take their disciples; Sat Purush Himself takes <br>them further into the Absolute. <br><br>Kal: Lord of Time, the Negative Power, or that aspect of the One God <br>that flows downward and is responsible for the creation and <br>maintenance of the causal, astral and physical planes.<br><br>Simran: Remembrance; in the writings of the Masters, refers to <br>Remembrance of God through the repetition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
