Satguru bhoothaa
inda sam, kami na rakhe koi |
Waisa hi phal nipajai,
jaisi bhoomika hoi ||
Just as the rain equally
showers at all places. Even though there
may be no difference in the rain, land, soil, sunshine, air, and water, there
is a difference in the taste of a watermelon and a cantaloupe. The difference is due to the seed of each one
being different. As is the seed, so is the fruit. However the
talks about a man is even more exceptional than this ! Man's
seed, i.e. his "bhaav" - sentiments and feelings can also be transformed
and he can become from a sinner to a saint,
he can become from a bad person to a great divine soul (Gita
9/30-9/31); because in essence he is a
part (ansh) of Paramatma. However there should be two points in that - There is no pretense
and deceit and man does what he has been instructed to do. "amaayayaanuvruttyaa" (Srimad Bhagwat 11/3/22).
Therefore a listener should not be deceitful
and pretentious, it means there should
not be any insistence of any sort within himself. There should be no holding on to any thought,
idea, thing etc. If there is an insistence on ones own point of view, then he
will not be able to listen to others, and
if he hears then too he will not be able to grasp. The
reason is that on having his own insistence, the listener's heart throws away
the speaker's talks, he does not absorb them.
With that, even the good points made by the speaker, do not get assimilated
in his heart. Therefore having an insistence on your own
opinion, principles, sectarian views is
a great obstacle in realization of the essential Truths (Enlightenment).
If
a listener has no insistence of his own,
then the sentiments and feelings of a realized great soul will penetrate
within him very quickly.
Paaras
keraa gun kisaa, palatyaa nahin lohaa |
kai toh nij paaras nahin, kai bich rahaa bichohaa ||
By
the touch of the philosopher's stone if iron does not turn to gold, then either
that philosopher's stone is not genuine, or the iron is not genuine, or there
was some obstruction in between.
In
the same way, if the speaker has experiential knowledge, and the listener has a keen longing to know
and he has no insistence of his own, then the speaker becomes a "paaras" (philosopher's stone). Not only that, even the "paaras" becomes exceptional -
Paaras
mein aru sant mein, bahut antarou jaan |
Wah
loha kanchan kare, wah karai aapu samaan ||
The gold that came about with the touch of a Paaras stone, cannot convert other metals to
gold. Because Paaras converts
iron to gold, Paaras does not
make anything like itself. But a
realized great soul makes a sincere, honest listener, who walks the path according
to his instructions, also like him self, let us say as if a Paaras' mint
has been opened. (to be continued)
