Kabir Math,
All the Bhagats
(True Gurus, Prophets) are Symbol, banner, insignia and abode of Sovereign lord
God
Among the religious scholars, warriors and kings,
there is no other equal to the Lords Bhagats. Asthe leaves of the water lily float free in the water,
says Ravi Daas,
so is their life in the world. Searching, the mortal stumbles like a blind
person, and does not recognize the Saint. Says Naam Dayv, how can one obtain God, without His Bhagats? Forsaking the Diamond of the Lord, the
mortals put their hopes in another. Those people shall go to hell; Ravi Daas speaks
the Truth. Kabir
if you live the householders life, then practice righteousness; otherwise,
you might as well retire from the world. If someone renounces the world, and
then gets involved in worldly entanglements, he shall suffer terrible
misfortune. Kabir, shave the mother of that
guru, who does not takeaway ones doubt.
He himself is drowning in the four Vedas; he drowns his disciples as
well.

Beygumpura; the
queen city Whoever is a citizen there, is a friend of mine.
Direct perception, cognition knowledge of power
derived from the personal observation of the Universe
Declaration of
Baygumpura, the city without sorrow, is the name of the town.
There is no suffering or anxiety there. There are no troubles or taxes on
commodities there. There is no fear, blemish or downfall there. Now, I have found this most excellent city.
There is lasting peace and safety there, O Siblings of Destiny. Gods Kingdom is steady, stable and eternal.
There is no second or third status; all are equal there. That city is populous
and eternally famous. Those who live there are wealthy and contented. They stroll about freely, just as they
please. They know the Mansion of the Lords Presence, and no one blocks their
way. Says Ravi Daas, Chamar the emancipated shoe-maker: whoever is a citizen
there, is a friend of mine.
Now I hold the eighteen miraculous spiritual powers in the
palm of my hand
A Saint (Sat guru) is a God on
earth. To him, the whole world is mere straw. To him, gold and stone are alike.
To him, pleasure and pain are the same. A saint lives in God. He has realized
God. He knows God. He has become God. He speaks of God. He shows the way to
God. He is God-intoxicated. He is God Himself. He is one with God. Saints are God's agents on earth. God reveals
Himself in a saint in His full glory; infinite power, wisdom and bliss. The saints constitute a ladder for the
pilgrims to the shrine of God. Wherever saints and sages stay even for a
half-second, then and there are sacred places like
Introduction
Religion,
faith, worship, sect and cult etc.
For those
who require some idea of what religion is and approach the subject, there is as
short introductory chapter. It may well not be of interest of everyone, you may
wish to skim through it quickly, returning to later. For those of you who are curious to know what
I believe and why. No definition of
religion can be entirely adequate.
Originally meant submissively deep reverence and loving devotion for the
God. Religion is the response of human
being to the human conditioning. Faced
with difficulties of living in this world, a process of spiritual thought known
as indoctrinate and philosophies of the superhuman (Intellectual brains), which
guide the study of fundamental nature of knowledge of the universal experience
reality and existence. A set of belief,
teachings, sermons, lecture, ideology, precept and principals held by Sants (Saints) tradition.
We
find this in the textual record of Sants
tradition. A belief system which gives a
total explanation of realty and stories about God and Gods, creation and
salvation, and events of historical significance. Values and code of discipline
and behaviour worship,(Self assurance, confidence) of the Supreme Being (Super
Human) as guidance for disciple as a seeker of truth, the individuals
experience of the mind search, inspiring, transcendent or a sense of belonging
and commitment to something greater then self i.e. superhuman. The Divine
Saints reverend Satgurus constructed the pristine
religion (Doctrine and Philosophy) when India fell in the hands of Muslim
rulers during the construction of Islam in India, as we studied in depth of
Guru Granth more we find and unlock the mystery
surrounding who is the originator of Sikhism? Satguru
Kabir, Satguru Ravidas and Satguru Namdev rejected Islamic doctrine the Muslims rulers were
responsible for the spread of Islam in Indias back
yard in the thirteen century the onward. The Muslim King tried to convert Satguru Namedv and Satguur Kabir into Islam but they
not only failed they also join Namdev ji and bowed to him in deep reverence, submissively. The
passage below from Guru Granth is very interesting.
HISTROICAL
SANTS (SANITS) BHAGATS (TRUEGURUS, PROPHETS)
The
travelling team of Sants (Saints) from the primitive
Holy city Varanasi formally known as Kaashi ancient name. These philosophers (Prophets) already
proclaimed a belief in a single God and salvation through his grace, available
to all people regardless of caste, class, sex.
Most used their vernacular (rather then Sanskrit) and rejected the
rituals of Brahmanic Hinduism and the authority of
the Vedas; These Sants were themselves from the lower
castes. Prominent among such teacher were Satguru Namedv, Satguru Kabir and Satguru Ravidas. They constituted the Sant
tradition of north
Story
of the travelling Divine Saints Sacha / Khaara Sauda (Goods Bargaining).
There is a map of Indian that record in careful detail the journey that Satguru Ravidas jio took around the sub-continent These Divine Saints have
travelled as far asAfghanistan, in the north Kashmir,
Panjab, Himachaal, Gujrat, Rajisthan, Madya Pardesh, Haryana, Andra Pardesh, Maharashtra to the deccans in the south and spanned the distance between Puri and Dvarka, two great hubs
of pilgrimage on the east west coasts a total journey of 5, 946 kilo meters the
legend announces. This map has the
effect of placing Satguru Ravidas
jio, in the great tradition of philosophers and
theologians who circle the land to establish the paramount legitimacy of their
views. From the writings we find
reference to the places they have visited
One Who becomes a Holy person,
appreciates the value of devotional worship to the God. The Lord places him in
His treasury
Meeting
the True Guru, doubt is dispelled. Who else should I worship? I can see no other.
One stone is lovingly decorated, while another stone is walked upon. If one is
a god, then the other must also be a god. Says Naam Dayv, I serve the Lord God
Today,Naam Dayv saw the Lord, and so I will instruct the
ignorant. O Pandit,
O religious scholar, your Gayatri was grazing in the
fields. Taking a stick, the farmer broke its leg, and now it walks with a
limp. O Pandit,I
saw your great god Shiva, riding along on a white bull. In the merchants
house, a banquet was prepared for him he killed the merchants son. O Pandit, I saw
your Raam Chand coming too;
he lost his wife, fighting a war against Raawan. The Hindu is sightless (Blind); the Muslim
has only one eye. The spiritual teacher is wiser than both of them. The Hindu
worships at the temple, the Muslim at the mosque. Naam
Dayv serves that Lord, who is not limited to either
the temple or the mosque.
Islam is a rigid and
uncompromising religion. Quranic injunction is
a------ and when thee sacred months ramzan passed,
kill those who join other deities with God where ye shall find them----- but if
they shall convert---- then let them go their way
When
the King try to convert Satguru Namdev
into Islam
TheSultan said, Listen, Naam Dayv: let me see the actions of your Lord. The Sultan (King) arrested Naam Dayv,and said, Let me see
your Beloved Lord. Bring this dead
cow back to life. Other wise, I shall cut off your head here and now. Naam Dayv answered, O king, how can this happen? No one can
bring the dead back to life. I cannot do
anything by my own actions. Whatever the Lord does, that alone happens. The arrogant king was enraged at this reply.
He incited an elephant to attack. Naam Dayvs mother began to cry, and she said, Why dont you
abandon your Lord Raam, and worship his Lord Allah? Naam Dayv answered, I am not your son, and you are not my
mother. Even if my bodydies, I will still sing the
Glorious Praises of the Lord. The
elephant attacked him with his trunk, but Naam Dayv was saved, protected by the Lord. The king said, The Qazis
and the Mullah show down to me, but this Hindu has trampled my honour. The people pleaded with the king, Hear our
prayer, O king. Here, take Naam Dayvs weight in
gold, and release him. The king
replied, If I take the gold, then I will be consigned to hell, by forsaking my
faith and gathering worldly wealth.
With his feet in chains, Naam Dayv kept the beat with his hands, singing the Praises of
the Lord. Even if the Ganges and the Jamunaa rivers flow backwards, I will still continue
singing the Praises of the Lord. Three
hours passed, and even then, the Lord of the three worlds had not come. Playing on the instrument of the feathered
wings, the Lord of the Universe came, mounted on the eagle garura. He cherished His devotee, and the Lord came,
mounted on the eagle garura. The Lord said to him, If you wish, I shall
turn the earth side ways. If you wish, I shall turn it upside down. If you wish, I shall bring the dead cow back
to life. Everyone will see and be convinced. Naam Dayv prayed, and milked the cow. He brought the calf to the
cow, and milked her. When the pitcher
was filled with milk, Naam Dayv
took it and placed it before the king.
The king went into his palace, and his heart was troubled. Through the Qazis and
the Mullahs, the king offered his prayer, Forgive me, please, O Hindu; I am
just a cow before you. Naam Dayv
said, Listen, O king: have I done this miracle? The purpose of this miracle is that you, O
king, should walk on the path of truth and humility. Naam Dayv became famous everywhere for this. The Hindus all went
together to Naam Dayv. If the cow had not been revived, people would
have lost faith in Naam Dayv. The fame of Naam Dayv spread throughout the world. The humble Bhagats, devotees were saved and carried across with
him. Allsorts of troubles and pains
afflicted the slanderer. There is no difference between Naam
Dayv and the Lord.
|| 28 || 1 || 10 || P 1165-6 G uru Granth
Nanak declared
In
each and every age, He creates His Bhagats and
preserves their honour, O Lord King. The Lord killed the wicked Harnaakhash, and saved Prahlaad.
He turned his back on the egotists and slanderers, and showed His Face to Naam Dayv. Servant Nanak has so
served the Lord, which He will deliver me in the end.
Chant,
O my mind, the True Name, Sat Naam, the True Name. In
this world, and in the world beyond.
I am a sacrifice to my Guru, who has led me to meet my
Lord God
Says
Nanak, the Guru has revealed God to me, and now I see that there is no such thing
as birth or death. All are in the One, and the One is in all. This is what the
True Guru has shown me. Without the True
Guru, no one has obtained the Lord; without the True Guru, no one has obtained
the Lord. He has placed Himself within the True Guru; revealing Himself, He
declares this openly. Meeting the True Guru, eternal liberation is obtained; Without the
Guru, no one has obtained Him, although many may claim to have done so. He
Himself reveals the Way, and implants true devotion within. The True Guru has
become my Advocate. The Lord and the Guru are pervading in one form. O Nanak, the Lord loves the Guru. Some read scriptures, the Vedas and the Puraanas. Some sit and listen, and read to others. Tell me,
how can the heavy, rigid doors be opened? Without the True Guru, the essence of
reality is not realized
That
Low caste being whom no one knows chanting the Naam,
the Name of the Lord, he is honoured in the four directions. I beg for the Blessed Vision of Your Darshan;
please, give it to me, O Beloved! Serving you, who, who has not been saved? That person, whom no one wants to be near
the whole world, comes to wash the dirt of his feet. That mortal, who is of no use to any one at
all by the Grace of the Saints, he meditates on the Naam.
In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, the sleeping mind awakens.
Then, O Nanak, God seems sweet.
When
someone of low social class chants the Lords Name, he obtains the state of highest
dignity. Go and ask Bidar, the son of a maid; Krishna
himself stayed in his house. Listen, O humble Siblings of Destiny, to the
Unspoken Speech of the Lord; it removes all anxiety, pain and hunger. Ravi Daas Chamar, the leather-worker, praised the Lord, and
sang the Kirtan of His Praises each and every
instant. Although he was of low social status, he was exalted and elevated, and
people of all four castes came and bowed at his feet. Naam Dayv loved the Lord ;the people called him a fabric dyer. The
Lord turned His back on the high-class Khshaatriyas
and Brahmins, and showed His face to Naam Dayv. All of the Bhagats (Prophets) andservants of
the Lord have the tilak, the ceremonial mark, applied
to their foreheads at the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage. ServantNanak shall touch
their feet night and day, if the Lord, the King, grants His Grace.
This
is the faith, which inspires Nanak
The
pattern evolved by Nanak is reworking of the Sants
(Saints) synthesis, one in which does not depart far from Saints source as far
as its fundamental components are concerned.
The categories employed by Nanak deyv ji are the categories of the Saints the terminology he use
is their terminology, and the doctrine he affirms are their doctrines.. What earlier Saints had developed he
inherited the components of his thoughts from the Saints. But he did not transmit his inheritance
unchanged. He received a synthesis and he passed it on. It is the Sants thought which we find in his work, but it is Sants thought expanded and inherited, reinterpreted which
within the pattern of Sants belief but which
nevertheless posses a significant originality and in contrast with its Sants background unique clarity. It possesses, moreover, the quality of
survival, for it remains today the substance of a living faith. The linage, which commences with the humble Sants the convention derived from the traditional Sant emphasis on the value of associating with the truly
devout, an experience which enabled the humble participant to acquire apportion
of the merit which emanated from the true holy (Sadhu,
