PRECIOUS PEARLS
(SAYINGS OF BABA GURBACHAN SINGH JI)

"A"

 

ABIDING HAPPINESS
A child cannot be consoled by sweets, but only by the love of parents. We seek abiding happiness in ephemeral things, which can afford only transitory happiness. For eternal happiness, we must know and realise our eternal parent i.e. God.

 

ABIDING PEACE
Material comforts cannot bestow abiding peace. Even the affluent pine for peace, which can be attained only by communion with God.

 

ABODE: GOD
Our real abode is Formless God, who can be realized through enlightenment by the grace of a True Master.

 

ABODE: NOT IN SHRINES
Man knocks about in various religious and holy places to find his true abode. This can, however, be 'found' only by the grace of a True Master.

 

ABODE: PEACE GIVING
One enjoys peace of mind only after reaching home. Similarly, the soul stays bewildered until it 'reaches' its real abode i.e. the Over Soul.

 

ABODE: TRUE
Human life is an opportunity to discover one's true abode i.e. God. The time span of human life is absolutely uncertain. One may be summoned back any moment, without notice. Yet, ironically enough, we pay all attention to mundane affairs and never bother about securing our true abode - the prime aim of human life. Sans this, all worldly achievements are futile.

 

ABODES OF SAINTS
The abodes of saints become places of pilgrimage and their utterances scriptures.

 

ADULTERATION
The fake religious preachers adulterate the teachings of scriptures as a milkman adulterates milk.

 

ADVERSITIES
Adversities and obstacles ultimately make us strong and courageous.

 

ALTRUISM
Energy wasted in idle and tall talk had better be utilized for the betterment of mankind.

 

"AMRIT" (ELIXIR)
"Amrit" or elixir imparts immortality, a state that can be attained by complete identification with the Immortal.

 

ATHEISM
The responsibility for spreading atheism lies with those who talk about but know not God.

 

ATTAINMENT
Spiritual attainment is surely the highest attainment.
