1. That supreme element !hich is !ithout any beginning or end,
unlimited, unborn, invisible, pervading all and beyond all is
considered as the <lmighty and as one supporting all. The supreme
element is beyond 8ara Bnon-livingC and Dhaitanya Bconscious or livingC
:ra"riti. The !hole system of nature is !or"ing li"e a very big machine
under the dictates of the <lmighty, !ho is !ithout any beginning or end,
most po!erful, beyond time and particular location, beyond !ords,
names, mind, intelligence, senses and is uniue. ,od is neither any
individual nor the e$pressed form nor !ithout any e$tended form of
illusion and does not "eep anything outside His purvie!. He is the
most ancient and in e$istence from the very beginning. <ccording to
the saints, He is considered the highest spiritual fountain-head and
all-po!erful.
/. The individual soul is inseparable from the <lmighty.
;. 5ature, having a beginning and an end, is a created one.
=. The souls are all bound by illusions and are rotating round the great !heel
of birth and death. This state of the individual soul or souls is the root cause
of all sufferings. %n order to come out of these, the only remedy is devotion to ,od.
@. 3epeating the name in mind, concentrating upon it in mind and !ith
the help of &7rishti Sadhan( and &Surat-Sabda--oga( B-oga of soundC.
'ne has to pass or go beyond dar"ness, light and !ords to be at one
!ith Him and get &Mo"sha( or liberation.
A. <ddiction to drugs or into$icants, spea"ing lies, indulgence in
adultery, violence in any form, causing pain to living beings, eating
fish or meat and stealing are considered great sins and one should
"eep a!ay from all these.
E. Having unflinching faith in the <lmighty and full dependence
on Him and firm resolution to find Him !ithin oneself, serving
,uru selflessly, practising Satsang and 7hyana -oga all these
be considered as the real steps for getting salvation in this !orld.
--- E ---
'ne should remember the long and short of Shri Sadguru(s teachings,
<nd serve ,uru !ith reverence and love,
<ll deceptions of the !orld are li"e optical illusions or the mirage,
<nd sensualities are li"e sorro!s or afflictions,
So let Surat BconsciousnessC be !ithdra!n from all these,
<nd focused only on the <lmighty, !ho is une$pressed,
pervasive and pervading,
)ut shines beyond all,
'ne should love such unborn, endless and infinite ,od,
%ndividual souls are all parts of the supreme sovereign,
<s is the relation of the vast firmament !ith all its parts.
Ho!ever, all distinctions disappear in the dissolution of forms,
)oth conscious and non-conscious forms of nature come to e$ist,
<s a result of the sportive delight of the Supreme sovereign,
5ever say that nature is unborn and !ithout any beginning,
5o sorro! is greater than getting into the cycle of birth and death,
7evotion to ,od is a must for brea"ing this cycle.
<ll men, !ith bodies, are capable of devotion to ,od,
?ith devotion to ,od internally as !ell as e$ternally,
The doors of body easily get opened,
3epeating the name of ,uru and concentrating the mind on his
physical body,
First of all, practise the same resolutely and let 7hyana be undistracted,
The individual self is shrouded !ith the three coverings of dar"ness,
light and sound,
?ith the help of the -oga of vision and consciousness, all the coverings
are removed,
?ith the removal of the coverings, Maya BillusionsC !ill disappear,
<nd the individual soul is united !ith the oversoul 2
7ualism !ill not e$ist, such unsha"eable belief must remain,
+eaving selfhood and sho!manship, serve Sadguru !ith pure heart,
humility and full dedication,
7oing Satsang and practising 7hyana Bconcentration C everyday,
'ne must give up adultery, stealing, addiction to all sorts of into$icants,
violence and spea"ing lies,
These principles of Santmat have already been preached by saints.
7evotion to ,uru is the very essence of all Santmat,
Maharshi Mehi says that no spiritual benefit !ill accrue !ithout one(s
true devotion to ,uru.

--- G ---
7efinition of Santmat
1. Dalmness or stillness is called peace.
/. Those getting peace are called saints.
;. 3eligion of saints is called Santmat.
=. %t is but uite natural that men have the urge to obtain peace. %nspired
by this, the sages in ancient time sought peace and described in the
Upanishads their efforts for obtaining the same. Similar vie!s !ere also
e$pressed in %ndian, :un9abi languages for the benefit of the common
mass of people. Such vie!s are designated as Santmat. )ut the fundamentals
of Santmat seems to have been derived from the sayings of the Upanishads.
higher "no!ledge and special efforts made for achieving 5ad-7hyana or
Surati Sabda -oga are made available only in Santmat and they all glitter
on their very foundations since time immemorial. 7ue to the coming of
the saints belonging to different times and countries and different
nomenclature given to their vie!s by the follo!ers, there seems to be some
difference in their vie!s or opinions, but if their broad e$ternalities and
sectarian vie!s are ignored and only the uintessence of the vie!s of the
Saints are ta"en into account, it !ill appear that all saints have one and
the same opinion.

Ho! !ould the dealer in pebbles tell about the ualities of the precious
9e!els1
--- =; ---
The +ord is beyond destructible and indestructible ones,
Moulding your mind subtly !ith inner perception,
7evote yourself to the +ord day and night2
3ip open the luminous point !ith the sharp vision of age,
<nd hear only the repetitive inner voice,
<nd fi$ your ga#e on the Sun, the Moon and the stars,
<s the flo!ing river merges !ith other rivers,
So do the devotees move !ith the very speed of the birds2
<nd s!itch over to the movement of the fish,
They grasp the central sound of the lo!er realms,
<nd are progressively dra!n up!ards to the sounds of the higher realms,
Thereafter they attain the ultimate state ie. the state beyond the sound,
This is the subtle !ay of the saints and Mehi as"s devotees to listen to it
carefully,
This is "no!n as the highest devotion and highly acclaimed one,
)earing this in mind, one should practise 7hyana -oga.
--- == ---
4no!ledge gained by the saints is being imparted to the spiritual aspirants
for their benefit,
<ril verse is pieced together to communicate the same and it grants good
fortune2
These are all priceless and not even a !ord of it can be measured in terms of
money,
Mehi, nodding his head in approval, says that if he !ished to spea" them out,
He !ould, first of all, have to bo! do!n at the lotus-feet of the saints2
<fter serving the saints, one should al!ays do Satsang !ith them,
<ttentively listening to their nectar-li"e !ords and bear them in one(s heart2
%f one fails to understand their !ords, get those !ords e$plained by them,
,aining real "no!ledge from them, let one(s living be as per their norms,
See" Sadguru after Satsang and get the blessings of your Sadguru,
4no!ledge !ithout Sadguru is li"e treading the !rong path2
Mehi gives the profile of a true ,uru in 4undalia rhyme,
%f heaven !ills and you get the real Sagduru in your life,
Serve him, abandoning pride from your mind.
'ne !ho "no!s the path to deliverance,
<nd regularly practises 7hyana -oga,
<nd lives in this !orld !ith pure heart,
7ay by day he gro!s dispassionate,
<nd does Satsang !ith great delight,
,ives compact "no!ledge and dispels all follies,
Suspicions are cast a!ay,
<nd the vie!s of saints gain ground,
'ne possessing such ualities, Mehi calls him a pure-hearted ,uru.
Spea" the truth !ith love that !ould have its appeal,
+eave stealing, ta"ing of drugs, adultery and violence2
:ractise concentration as per instructions of ,uru,
Mehi as"s devotees to listen to the !ords of ,uru attentively,
5o! that he starts e$plaining the teachings of ,uru to them,
)ody, nec" and head should be held erect in a straight line,
Seated comfortably in :admasana, eyes and mouth be closed,
<nd bo!ing !ith love and reverence !ill purify the mind,
7uring practise if the mind !anders, let it be instantly !ithdra!n,
<nd get it fi$ed on the ob9ective, !ithdra!ing the mind again and again2
Mehi advises to proceed further !ith the ob9ective,
:ursuing the currents of inner lights and sound2
Soon trying to catch the currents of the uintessential one,
?ith the help of the -oga of vision,
?atch the acts of )rahma in the universe,
Uniting the rays of both the eyes and holding them on the focus,
,a#e it !ith a steady mind,
,et your mind stabili#ed and through the tenth door climb over the ladder of
the sounds,
<s the arro! gets stabili#ed !hile hitting its target,
Similarly 9ourneying through the sphere of light one !ill also 9ourney through
different spheres of sound2
,limpsing the shining bla#es of the sphere of light,
+oo" intensely at the luminous point bet!een the t!o eyebro!s2
This is li"e electric light and the eyes do not remain fi$ed,
Donsciousness remains vibrating and under such a circumstance ho! !ill
the eyes catch a glimpse of that light 1
<s one practises 7rishti -oga, tenaciously vibrations are stopped,
<nd consciousness becomes full gro!n,
The doors of the luminous star are opened due to the intensified ga#e,
Mehi says that the ga#e becomes so po!erful !ith efforts and !ild efforts2
Dlosing mouth, eyes and ears one sees, hears and bears the music in one(s
heart,
<nd gets dra!n to!ards sounds in different pitches2
Hedge-cric"ets sing and the bees hum and the sound of the bell, conch shell,
clarionet etc. are heard,
Many stars are seen together !ith different sounds,
The earthern lamp burns and the s"y is visible,
)ecause of the !onderful light of the rays of the Moon2
Ho! !ill the ama#ing Moon together !ith the sounds loo" li"e 1
Those e$periencing it are supposed to be the !ise ones,
The brave get fully immersed into such endeavors,
Fully plunged into such strivings one becomes e$tremely cool and calm,
<nd forgets all about one(s gross body2
:aramhans says such introvert aspirants remain completely una!are of
morning, day and night.
<nd are effortless as if dead from outside,
The Sun outside compared to one inside is dar" enough,
That splendourous Sun is beyond the boundary of the Moon,
+ouder sounds highly repetitive inside are not discernible enough,
:aramhans says, sounds li"e the beating of drums and roaring of clouds are
heard in the universe,
<bove Tri"uti, are colourless, shapeless compartments,
?here there are only resounding sounds2
The true spiritual aspirant remains in 7hyana -oga,
<nd !ith -oga of sound reaches the highest realm2
%n such a shapeless universe, he hears e$tremely s!eet sound of a flute,
-oga of sounds cause such !onderful e$periences2
'n getting such a perceptive ,uru, one "no!s ho! to do 5ad 7hyana,
That matchless sound !hich never changes is the uintessential one,
<nd that uintessential sound is finally changed into the soundless one.
Saints describe such a !ord as soundless, nameless or !ordless,
The uintessential one along !ith Surat at the final stage disappears,
The very stage of soundlessness, !ordlessness or namelessness is entirely
different,
<ccording to Mehi that stage is devoid of dualism,
Surat, merging !ith the <bsolute, never returns to the physical !orld.
--- =@ ---
' devotees0 5o! % !ould li"e to describe the final central 5aubat sounds,
The first 5aubat resonates at the meeting point of the gross and subtle
spheres,
The second 5aubat reverberates at the meeting points of the subtle and
causal spheres,
The third 5aubat is heard every moment at the meeting point of the causal
and supra-causal spheres,
The meeting point of the supra-causal sphere and 4aivalya, is the Mool
:ra"riti,
<nd is the sphere of pure consciousness2
<fter proper consideration, Maharshi calls the sound of this sphere as the
fourth 5aubat2
<bove the very centre of the sphere of pure consciousness lies the soundless
realm of the <bsolute2
Here is located the centre of living nature as far as the mind can imagine,
From here does resound the fifth 5aubat, as being the most !onderful and
incomparable sound,
Those, !ho plunge Surat into the fifth 5aubat, are delivered from captivity.
--- =A ---
,entlemen 0 Dreation has five centres of the five spheres,
From these centres, emanate the five different tunes,
These tunes, li"e the tunes of 5aubat, are very s!eet2
These central 5aubat sounds resound every moment in si$ tunes and thirty-
si$ musical notes2
Those going inside have a taste of these tunes and are highly delighted,
+iving and non-living nature each one has a centre,
'ne that is the sphere of pure consciousness is the sphere of living nature
and also 4aivalya,
<nd the Mool :ra"riti is called supra-causal and the une$pressed2
:erversion of supra-causal is the causal one,
Maharshi as"s the devotees to recognise these in their o!n bodies.

' hear0 <ll those living in the !orld, this !orld is transient,
<nd bound to be destroyed2
%t is all pomp and sho! and a great deceit,
<ll ta"e it to be ephemeral but you clutch it as an aid,
%ts happiness is li"e the !ater of mirage,
Finding the deer alone your greed is stimulated2
7ue to this greed, you have to bear the terrible miseries of the !orld,
?ithout Sadguru, !ho !ill come to your help1
5ot even one being is yours in this rest-house,
Son, father, mother, !ife, etc., !ho among them is yours 1
)rothers, friends, relatives, family, the 4ing are all false,
3esidents of the seven heavens, beautiful gods are all endlessly delighted,
5one is immobile, all moving and only truth and peace being stationary.
The <lmighty is peace incarnate and saints say He is beyond !ords,
He is beyond destructible and indestructible nature,
<nd also above one !ith attributes or !ithout attributes and loving all2
He is unseen, unfathomable, nameless, ine$pressible and beyond the abode
of happiness,
Such different ad9ectives are given to the <lmighty !ho is above the sphere
of mind2
Those having doubts remain in great afflictions,
' brotherss0 %f the +ord is yours, you can get help from any!here2
,etting clues from Sadguru, remain fully devoted to Him,
There is no difference bet!een Sadguru and the <lmighty,
So !ith this faith you remain loyal to your ,uru2
Serving and !orshipping ,uru do not "eep any nuisance in your mind,
' brotherss0 3emaining detatched in the !orld, subdue your senses, causing
pain,
<bandon sensuality, anger, egoism, attatchments etc.,
<nd remain attached to ,uru !ithout avarice, craft and pride and various
"inds of allurements2
+eave them slo!ly and then only you can thin" of your !elfare,
)ear the !ords of ,uru in mind, leaving aside all conflicts,
Seducing other !omen, telling lies, into$ication, violence and stealing,
<ll these five big sins are to be given up as they tend to destroy you,
They are the strong aids to illusions and bind you to the circle of birth and
death,
?ine, bhang, opium, toddy, moda", cocaine, tobacco, etc.,
<ll such into$icants are fit to be given up, and so give up,
< meal of meat and fish be given up and Sattva ,una be cultivated in food
and drin"2
Firstly, correct your food habit and then slo!ly do a!ay !ith other
deficiencies,
<l!ays do Satsanga, !hich being both e$ternal and internal2
3eading religious stories is e$ternal Satsang and internal Satsang is
unbro"en 7hyana2
Dlosing eyes is one of the means of 7hyana,
<s one sits erect on Su"hasana repeating ,uru(s name and concentrating on
him,
To some e$tent, this helps to concentrate and thereafter, do 7rishti -oga,
Datch the luminous point !ith the help of 7rishti -oga,
<nd get Surat freed from the *arth2
Thus pursuing the luminous sounds, listen to the repetitive sounds again and
again,
+istening to these sounds, Surat goes on climbing, and finally the inner
!rappings that cause pain are destroyed2
+eaving the sphere of dar"ness, Surat goes on to the subtle sphere,
<t the middle of the subtle sphere, Surat catches the central sound,
<nd enters the sphere of !ords only riding over the universe,
%n the sphere of !ords by listening to !ords only Surat is fully satisfied,
This tune is li"e singing of the name of 3ama,
?hich is called the uintessential one by the saints,
This is !ithout attributes, pure and fully conscious2
Surat catches the uintessential sound and being attracted to!ards it,
+eaves the sphere of consciousness,
This sound is lost in soundlessness, !hich is beyond the stage of 5irguna,
?hen the sphere of !ords is left behind, Surat reaches the stage of
soundlessness,
This soundlessness or !ordlessness is considered as the <lmighty,
This is the final goal of all human beings,
Those, attaining this stage, are called saints2
Such delivered souls caution the !orld,
<nd e$plain, singing the secrets of Santmat2
Those !ho "no! them practise different disciplines of the mind,
<nd purifying their minds, they live in the !orld2
3emaining dispassionate, they adhere to simplicity,
<nd very much love to attend Satsanga and impart real "no!ledge,
<nd solve all the riddles of the !orld2
'nly such ones be accepted as ,urus,
Donsidering them as saints, serve them2
5ever play fraud !ith your ,uru and taste his nectar-li"e love2
Spea" affectionately !ith him as egoism !ill spoil everything,
5ever be impertinent to him, other!ise you !ill remain caged in the !orld.
--- =G ---
Sadguru !ould tell you about the !ays of the internal s"y,
Through the centre of the dar"ness caused by the closed eyes,
Surat, climbing on the chariot of the -oga of vision,
<nd passing through the tenth door,
)eing subtler than the front of the needle,
*nters the internal s"y2
Surat leaves the sphere of light and plunges into !ords,
Drossing the sphere of !ords !ith the help of -oga of sound,
Surat reaches the final goal, ie., fi$ed and not destroyable,
Mehi is dependent on his Sadguru and al!ays bo!ing at the feet.

,od is difficult to get !ithout ,uru though He resides in one(s body,
,od is lying concealed in the heart, full of dar"ness,
,uru, practising the secrets, has divine inner light,
Though ,od is present in every heart, yet the sorro!s of the !orld do not get
banished,
,uru eliminates all the !oes of the !orld and so is hailed by everyone,
<nd surrendering your body, mind and !ealth at his lotus-feet, serve him,
'beying him, cross the terrible !orld-li"e sea.

Sadguru, at the end of my deep search for him, !as found in the to!n of
Moradabad,
He propagated the secrets of the -oga of sound from <tai Mohalla,

?e !ere all marching ahead in dar"ness,
5ot being acuainted !ith the inner secrets of Santmat,
,uru )aba Sahib e$plained to us all about these secrets,
First of all, he as"ed me to close the eyelids and further advised not to allo!
the mind to !ander outside,
He directly helped me catch the star, lying in front of my nose and bet!een
the t!o eyebro!s,
The sound !aves rose up in the very house of Sushumna,
<nd Surat mounted up !ith the help of 7rishti -oga,
Datching !ith the help of Surat the uintessential sound among the multiple
sounds,
?ith the help of Surat-Sabda--oga, the devotee ascends,
+eaving the intricacies of the multiple sounds,
That "eeps him engrossed in deep illusions2
,uru has given the secrets of the yoga of sound and Surat-Sabda--oga,
His secrets are so very deep, says Mehi, that they !ere not "no!n to the
!orld,
Ho!ever, ,uru )aba Sahib "indly made these secrets public for the benefits
of all.
--- 1I; ---
3emaining true to themselves,
The saints have proclaimed that the "ey to deliverance lies inside one(s
body,
The !orld is shivering due to triad tribulations,
The deluded souls are all gasping for breath2
Donsoling them and trying to ma"e them understand,
The saints have advised them to remember ,uru,
Doncentrating on ,uru in one(s mind and intensely ga#ing at the tenth door,
%mmerse your Surat in the currents of sounds consecutively,
<s these efforts are discussed by the great saints,
7ifferent sounds are heard from the five centres of the five spheres2
<nd the multiple spar"s of light also bla#e,
<nd inside one(s body many sounds are heard by Surat,
The great saints have given out these means,
They really banish the traps of the !orld2
Mehi has absolutely no doubt about it,
<nd so, he says, the saints have given us these secrets.
--- 1I= ---
'ne should al!ays chant Sadguru, Sadguru2
%t diminishes the agglomeration of sins,
)earing the image of Sadguru in one(s heart,
Sensuality, anger, pride and greed are s!ept a!ay2
?atching the matchless countenance of ,uru, the mind is filled !ith
happiness2
<nd Surat 9ourneys across the egg of the universe,
%n every body is the strong bond of Sadguru(s lotus-feet,
Datching hold of the same, one(s body goes across the egg of the universe2
That is !hy Mehi calls everyone to grip Sadguru(s lotus-feet,
'ne, doing so, !ill easily cross the barriers of the !orld.
--- 1I@ ---
The very fruit of this human life is to serve the lotus-feet of Sadguru,
Sleeping consumes most of the time in this !orld for ages,
Sadguru has "indly a!a"ened us, ' brothers 0
5othing !as visible to the blind eyes and so one lay unconscious and blind2
,uru "indly gave the secrets and the vision !as restored and the mind !o"e
up from its deep slumber,
?ith the coming of light, the dar"ness vanished altogether,
Donseuently it made one immensely happy,
'ne cannot repay the price of ,uru(s grace,
His grace eliminates the cycle of birth and death and eighty-four la"h species
of !ombs2
,reat praises to Sadguru, )aba 7evi Sahib,
?ho delivered us from this chain,
Mehi says that no one has so bountifully revealed such secrets.
--- 1IA
5o one is as beneficent as ,uru, Sadguru,
Serve him everyday,
,uru protects one(s body, mind and soul,
His name only is to be repeated2
He loves more than one(s mother,
<nd benefits more than one(s father2
He is more bountiful that the <lmighty,
5o one is a better aid than him,
Surrender your body, mind and soul at the feet of ,uru,
There is no better e$ample of giving benefit, as one given by him,
3emain al!ays in the shelter of his lotus-feet,
There being no other remedy in this !orld2
%f ,uru ta"es a little care,
<ll your sorro!s and pain !ould be eliminated2
There is no +ord better than ,uru,
So ' Man 0 <l!ays repeat the name of ,uru,
7o not bring anyone else to your heart, abandoning him,
Mehi says, !ith folded hands, continue repeating his name,
Surrendering yourself at the lotus-feet of ,uru.
--- 1IE ---
' brothers 0 +et us go uic"ly and grip ,uru(s lotus-feet,
)e firm and ardent devotees, renouncing all your illusions,
Happiness of one(s body, mind and senses are illusory,

There are nine doors in the body, all being so very dirty,
Forsa"ing, mount up from the tenth door and be happy, ' brothers 0
3epeat the name of ,uru and concentrate on his physical image,

' friends 0 3emember ,uru, !hy do you !aste your opportunity 1
The !orld is full of miseries,
%f you do not remember him, you !ould be !eeping for ages2
%n four species of life, human body being a scarce one,
<ssuming that body, try hard for your emancipation2
'nly through human body, deliverance is possible,
So !ith the help of this body, try to get your liberation.
Start trying hard for it immediately, do not delay,
Human body is transitory and so ever remain vigilant,
This body gets !ea"ened every moment,
%t is ever debilitating2
Suddenly this body may drop dead on the earth and get !asted,
3emember ,uru, ' brothers 0 <nd get your deliverance,
4no! the !ays of rememberance and !inning ,uru(s love,
Dlosing the doors outside, open your inner doors inside,
<nd immerse Surat in the very sphere of !ordlessness2
<ttaching Surat li"e this, remember ,uru everyday2
)earing 7evi Sahib(s instructions in mind,
Mehi says, remaining slave to the lotus-feet !ith folded hands,
<nd brea"ing relations from all sides, remain fully enthralled in ,uru(s
magnificence.
--- 1IH ---
Serving Sadguru is service to your ,uru as !ell,
%t eliminates all one(s !oes and stumblings2
This !orld is one(s temporary accommodation for only four days,
Here, there is nothing li"e mine or thine2
Mine or thine, both are the hands of the messenger of death,
Datching the individual souls !ith these hands,
The messenger of death has detained them,
This !orld is the dungeon of the messenger of death,
%t surrounds the individual souls from all sides2
?ithout Sadguru, no one is capable of brea"ing the circle of the messenger
of death,
So get up, see" Sadguru and serve him variously2
Surrendering your body, mind, !ealth and soul at his feet,
Save yourself from being trapped by the messenger of death,
Sadguru is alive and a!a"ened in the !orld,
*veryone is !orshipful to him2
Mehi says that he is )aba 7evi Sahib(s slave to his lotus-feet.
--- 11I ---
?ithout ,uru, it is difficult to get the lotus-feet of Sadguru,
Having resolute faith in ,uru, ever serve him2
?henever ,uru tells about the path of deliverance,
Surat should pursue it, filled !ith happiness2
The individual soul, practising 7hyana -oga and serving ,uru,
?al"s along the road to salvation2
?al"ing along that road, he atleast meets Sadguru,
That eliminates all the !oes of the !orld2
So leave deceit and egoism and !orship the lotus-feet of ,uru,
5o one else !ill help cross the terrible !oes of sea-li"e !orld,
To !hom ,uru being only beneficent and fatherly,
<nd to !hom ,uru being so very "ind,
Mehi considers such an individual as the most fortunate one,
<s he gets delivered from the !orld so easily.
--- 111 ---
?ithout ,uru(s grace, !elfare of the individual souls is not possible,
<ll souls come from the highest position of !ordlessness,
)ut they are entrapped in the cycle of birth and death,
They easily get oblivious of their original homes2
Thus they have become the residents of the !orld full of sorro!s,
%t is difficult to come out of such a !orld,
,uru gives the secrets of his o!n and sho!s Surat the right path,
,uru comes to the !orld for the sa"e of liberating his devotees,
He is the benefactor, father and friend of the individual souls,
5o one else liberates the individual souls li"e ,uru,
*ver !orship ,uru, as no one else is li"e him,
To Mehi, ,uru alone is the only support.
--- 11/ ---
' brothers 0 Serve the lotus-feet of ,uru,
-our mind easily gets infatuated,
Doveting the ob9ects of sensuality,
<nd finally, you have to satisfy the appetite of the messenger of death,
Mother, father, !ife, son, friend, relative none !ill serve you,
5ot to spea" of !ealth, even your o!n body !ill not come to your help2
The individual soul !ill depart from the !orld all alone,
So no! on!ards, become conscious and serve Sadguru,
His help !ould be forthcoming variously,
He !ill give you the secrets of mounting up on the egg of the universe,
Those initiated by ,uru, ascend higher and higher,
<scending higher up, they cross all the s"ies2
<nd climb the highest pea", !here the <bsolute +ord resides,
7evi Sahib is the perfect Sadguru,
5o one is so fully conversant !ith the secrets of devotion,

Hopes die out and both one(s sorro!s and happiness appear to be the same,

7evoid of 7hyana and !ithout repeating the name,
-ou !ill not be able to realise ,od2
3eading religious boo"s and singing of hymns on the musical instruments,
7o not ma"e one a true devotee,
The mind is too capricious and al!ays immersed in sensualities,
Unless spiritual efforts are made !ith full devotion,
%t is not possible to get strength in one(s prayer2
?hile rehearsing the name and concentrating your mind,
Try to discipline the mind every moment,
<nd let your love for ,uru gro! more and more2
Datching the name of 3ama and its melodious tune of the subtle !ave,
,et your love for the +ord firmly established.
Thus, the !oes of the !orld are eliminated, rehearsing the name,
*veryday doing meditation and secret practises,
Mehi says, both these !ill do good to you2

The path to be pursued by one going to meet the +ord,
%s to be found in the body itself, according to the saints2
' dear devotees 0 Trac"ing that path, let us go to meet the +ord at once2
The saints have already gone along this path fearlessly,
This path is through dar"ness, light and sound,
?hich are the three !rappings of the human body2
This path, full of light and sound, is found at the tenth door,
' devotees 0 Trying !hole-heartedly, get hold of it,
Maharshi Mehi says that the tenth door is subtler than the tip of the hair,
The saints, entering through that door, pursue that path fearlessly.
--- 1;/ ---
%f you !ant to live !holly !ithin yourself,
-ou must al!ays safeguard yourself against the five sins2
The first is falsehood, and the second being into$ication,
The third one is co-habitation !ith someone(s spouse,
<nd the fourth one is stealing and the fifth called violence2
+et all these be thro!n aside by all means in one(s po!er,
Mehi says, one, freed from all these, serves the lotus-feet of ,uru everyday.

)ountiful Sadguru is so great that he sho!s the path,

%nside, there is a uniue flood of light, raining,
<long !ith the multiple sounds, magnificent 5aubat sound is also heard.
They are high enough !ith the melodious tunes,
'nly the fortunate ones are able to hear this sound,
Maharshi Mehi says, as one goes along this path,
?atching and hearing, one gets e$traordinary delight2
<nd at the end of one(s 9ourney, one meets the +ord.

<nd loo"ing at the illumined star at the tenth door,
Try to hear the central sound, called )rahma 5aad,
Thus inside the body itself, meet the +ord !ith the help of )rahma 5aad.

He is unmoving, uniue and remaining uniform in all conditions,
He is neither special, nor does he get diminished,
He is neither dar"ness nor light nor !ord,
:erceived only by the soul, he is beyond destructible and indestructible
nature,
He is neither e$pressed nor une$pressed,
%ntelligence and imagination cannot grasp his very nature,
He is beyond perception and his magnificence not comprehensible,
That supreme conscious is indescribable and nothing definite can be said
about Him,
He does not do anything, but nothing is done !ithout Him,
Those realising Him, say He is the basis of all,

happiness,

The strong scent spreads in all corners and you offer your highest devotion

!ordlessness,
3eaching that final position, no one returns to the !orld2
Mehi says, the saints have done such a !aving of <rati,
Those doing such a !aving do not have to enter again the circle of birth and
death.
