Advice from Baba Sawan Singh
Ji When you meet the Great Master, as a result of good
fortune, then have Master’s Darshan as if you were a man tormented by acute
hunger, or like an infant who yearns for the protective mother, the only source
of nourishment; if anyone interferes between him and his mother, he cries
painfully and falls into desperation—like a rainbird who drinks only the water
of the rain, when finally the skies burst into showers—like a fish separated
from water, when it goes back to the soothing water—like this, one should get
elated on seeing the Satguru, so much so that on having Darshan, the devotee
should forget the consciousness of his
body and have no thought or consideration of rain, sunshine or shadow. Look minutely into the middle of Master’s two luminous
eyes, riveting your attention. Don’t blink your eyes, as far as possible. Hear
the recitation and utterances of the Great Master with your ears and have
Darshan with your eyes. The gaze should be so confined that you see only the
holy face of anyone else. Silently, imbibe the utterances of the Satguru. Do
not pay any attention to any noise, such as knocking at the door or what anyone
else says. If individuals come in and say hello, shake hands, or say good morning
or evening to the Great Master, don’t pay attention to them. if you do, it
means disrespect to the Master. It is a great loss for one to leave the
Master’s precious Darshan and look toward others. Be so much absorbed that your
attention doesn’t divert toward the person who might interrupt. After hearing the discourse, one should not speak with
anyone nor see anyone. Put emphasis on Simran. Escape from the company of those
talking and socializing. Rest assured that the Satguru has filled the pipe of
our heart with His Darshan. If you start talking with anyone, the heart will
keep on emptying of the Darshan. |
