Chandigarh, September 28: A true Gursikh is one who lives every moment, every breath as a servant of the Satguru and performs whatever tasks the Satguru assigns without any ifs or buts. No matter how wise, scholarly, or wealthy a Gursikh may be, he takes no pride in his cleverness or wealth; instead, coming to the Guru's door, he completely erases his 'I' and ego. Whatever he hears from the Satguru, he accepts joyfully and finds his well-being in the Satguru's divine will. Such a Gursikh desires no reward and constantly engages in service, remembrance (simran), and congregation (satsang) with a selfless attitude. The Satguru Himself exalts a Gursikh with such a spirit of servitude and brings glory to his entire lineage. Indeed, only such a Gursikh's life is meaningful and blissful.
These expressions were shared today by preacher Shri Paramjit Singh Moman Ji from Amritsar, while addressing thousands of devotees at the weekly satsang held at the Sant Nirankari Satsang Bhawan located in Sector 30 here.
Giving the example of the purification of silver, Shri Moman said that until silver keeps boiling, it is not pure, and when its own reflection becomes visible in it, one should understand that it has become pure. Similarly, as long as our mind keeps counting the faults of others, it is not pure, but when the form of the Satguru begins to be seen in every Gursikh, one should understand that the spirit of servitude has begun. He said that true knowledge is not something one has to carry like a burden on one's shoulders, but rather something that makes life easy and blissful.
Narrating a parable of a king and two hawks, he explained that the hawk which repeatedly kept returning to perch on the very same branch could only take a high flight when that branch was cut down. Similarly, the ego that 'I will do it, only then will it be right' is the branch of our mind; the moment it is cut, a person can touch spiritual heights. He said we must work not as doers but as servants, because the right to decide does not belong to us, only the performance of action does.
Giving the example of Draupadi, he said that as long as Draupadi relied on the strength of her husband’s and other family members, things did not work out; but as soon as she folded her hands and meditated on the Lord, her honor was saved. Just as a mother, hearing the cry of an innocent child sleeping in a cradle, drops all her work and picks the child up in her arms, similarly, a devotee who does not consider himself wise and depends entirely on the Formless One (Nirankar), the Lord Himself adopts him. He said that this Supreme Father, the Almighty, is the foundation of all, and without Him nothing can endure.
Stating that emotion and devotion are intertwined, Shri Moman Ji said that while entering the satsang bhawan, the state of our mind should be that of a seeker. Mentioning the words of Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj, he said that true devotion begins only when we see this same Lord in every Mahatma sitting around us. He said that eyes and ears are the entry gates of the mind, so they should be rectified with the Guru's vision so that they see and hear the one Almighty in everyone and stay away from gossip and backbiting. He said that the true essence and bliss of life lie in this spirit of servitude and devotion. In the end, he offered a prayer to the Satguru to keep everyone attached to His refuge and His feet.
Earlier, local Sanyojak Shri Navneet Pathak welcomed and thanked Shri Paramjit Singh Ji Moman, who came from Amritsar, on behalf of the entire congregation.
