From Anurag Sagar :
"Oh Dharam Dass! The unkind people, the creatures of 'Kal' will not
accept the teaching of Naam (Word). They will follow the dictates of
their mind and will not have a desire to do good deeds. They will do
evil deeds and entangle people in quarrels and controversies."
The people with unsteady vision will not be able to concentrate
during meditation.
They will talk of otherworldly things and of uniting people with
God. They will dress up as if they are Godlike. Consider them as
disguised persons of Kal.
Dharam Dass requested Kabir sahib, "Please tell me how to know the
identity of those souls (people) who are to be initiated and who are
not to be? How can I distinguish between them? Oh my Lord! you are
all knowing. You only can reveal this secret."
Kabir sahib said, "Oh Dharam Dass! You have to judge whether the
person is humble and desirous of salvation through worship."
Kabir sahib further said, "Before initiation, it is to be seen that
the person possesses kindness and forgiveness. If he possesses these
qualities then he should be initiated".
You have to see that the person is capable of meditating day or
night. Then only initiate him into Naam.
"Oh Dharam Dass! When the heart of a disciple is purified by
initiation and meditation, then he is blessed with the glimpse of
his Guru (Master) within himself."
"Oh Dharam Dass! the knowledge which you have received from me is
the inner knowledge of supreme bliss. Through this knowledge you can
reach and attain Gurpad". It is the stage on the way to the Supreme
Abode. It is above Trikuti (the appellation of second spiritual
region). On reaching this stage one is enlightened with the
knowledge to get rid of delusion and attachment for worldly things.
There is no substitute or alternative of this knowledge."
"Oh Dharam Dass! It is a secret, which every body does not know."
"Oh Dharam Dass, after enlightenment, delusive attachment for
worldly pleasures goes away just as darkness disappears after
sunrise."
"Oh Dharam Dass! when a person is initiated and during meditation,
when his attention is retraced from the toes of his feet to behind
the eyes, then first thing he sees is 'Sakha Jyoti' (a friendly
appealing light). Next he reaches 'Jhinjari dweep' (region), where
he see 'Jhilmil Jyoti' (flickering light). Further he reaches
Sahansdal Kanwal (appellation of the first spiritual region), where
he comes across 'Jagmag Jyoti' (a gleaming light). After that when

his soul reaches 'Daswan Dwar' (the tenth aperture, appellation of
the third spiritual region), there he sees a lake of Nectar
(Amritsar) and is baptised in it. Here the soul attains the light
equivalent to the light of twelve suns. Reaching next stage, "Sach
Khand", soul attains light equal to 16 suns. Then after crossing the
Alakh and Agam desh (sixth and seventh spiritual regions) the soul
reaches Anami Desh, the eighth and the highest spiritual region.
Here it merges into God. We say it has united with God and there is

no difference between Soul and God. Its state is like a drop of
water which when dropped in the sea, loses its identity by mixing in
the water of sea. It becomes the ocean."
