SPIRITUAL SPARKS
(SAYINGS OF BABA AVTAR SINGH JI)

"M"

 

MAMMON
The glamour of Mammon may entice one, but it is not abiding.

 

MAN
Before acquiring any religion or caste label, one is just a man.

Though in human form, man acts like an animal and devil. Even with a sensual mind, he poses to be pious.

 

MAN OF FAITH
A man of faith transcends duality and leans on God alone.

 

MAN OF GOD
The one, who has realized god, is a man of God.

 

MASTER, DISCIPLE
The word is the master; consciousness, the disciple. Few, however, know this secret.

 

MASTER-SCIENTIST
Scientists have invented many a deadly weapon, even one of which can wipe out whole of the humanity. The master-scientist (True Master), hover, dispenses the elixir of God-knowledge that regenerates even the dead spirits.

 

MASTER’S WORD
The Master’s Word spells the doom of the birth-death Cycle, leading one to immortality.

 

MERIT
Practices such as holy baths, pilgrimages, recitation of scriptures and renunciation may carry some merit. Real merit, however, consists in identification of God.

 

MIND
Mind connotes belief and faith.

Human mind is chained by mammon and attachment.

Smearing the body with ashes cannot pacify the lusty mind.

Mind sparkles with the glow of God-devotion.

People say God cannot be realized without purifying the mind. They however, fail to realize that mind can be purified only by God-realization.

Engrossed in the muck of the worldliness, the mind is soiled and oblivious of God. But as soon as it is cleansed with God-knowledge, it is again purified and enlightened.

O mind, shed your ignorance and be enlightened by the grace of the Master.

The mind can be enlightened spiritually by the grace of saints.

In fire, coal glows like fire, but out of it, it turns jet black. Its blakness can be removed not by any amount of washing but only by putting it back into fire. Similarly, oblivious of God, The Mind is wrapped in the darkness of ignorance. It can be enlightened not by rites and rituals, but by the light of God-knowledge.

 

MOVING CORPSE
Without God-knowledge, one is a moving corpse.
