[QUOTE="Astroboy, post: 83605, member: 4990"] PROLOGUE Who can reach the Motionless Plane? HYMN One who will climb the Path of Truth believing my words, Like the warrior who marches ahead in battle and doesn't worry about what is behind- So become like the warrior and the Sati, and take the Knowledge of the Path from the Saint. Take refuge in the Satguru and, developing Mritak, rid yourself of Kal's pain. Rare are those who deserve it COUPLET Kabir says this, after reflection: Only the brave one who does this can achieve the Beloved. WHO IS A MRITAK? Dharam Das said: 0 my God, tell me the qualities of mritak, so that the fire which is burning in my mind may be extinguished. 0 cloud of nectar, explain to me-how can this life die? Examples of Mritak Kabir said: Dharam Das, this is a complicated thing. Only a few can learn this from a perfect Master. Example of bhringi Those who serve the Saints as Mritak, ultimately-grasping Shabda -achieve the Path to God. Just as the insect who, coming in contact with bhringi, develops its body. Bhringi attacks the insect with its sound, and one who catches that sound Is taken by the bhringi to his home, where he turns it into his own form. The insect who catches the sound of bhringi, itself becomes bhringi. Rare are the insects who catch the sound of bhringi at the first attempt. Some catch it at a second attempt, some at a third, and sacrificing their body and mind they become the form of bhringi. PROLOGUE 9 The insect who doesn't catch the sound of bhringi remains as an ordinary insect forever. 0 Dharam Das, the disciple should receive the knowledge from the Master as the insect receives the sound from bhringi. How does one achieve the quality of bhringi? One who is determined to accept the teachings, I make him My own form: The jiva who has no duality realizes Me. One who believes the words of the Masters, only he becomes the bhringi. When the crow merges itself into Shabda and leaves all her desires, she becomes a hansa. What is a hansa? COUPLET He who leaves the path of the crow and dwells on the true Shabda within, eating pearls- Who gives his life to Sat Purush by following the Path shown by the Masters-is a hansa. More examples of Mritak Hear 0 Saints, the nature of Mritak; rare are those who practice the Path of God. PROLOGUE Hear more attributes of Mritak: Mritak serves the Satguru. Mritak manifests love within him, and receiving that love the jiva gets liberation. Example of the earth The earth hurts no one-you be like that. Some put sandalwood on her, some throw dirt on her-still she hates no one. Mritak also hates no one-He is very happy even when opposed. Example of the sugar cane Listen to more attributes of Mritak, and step on the Path shown by the Master only after testing and understanding it: When the farmer makes jaggery out of sugar, he cuts the sugar cane into pieces; Then it is crushed in the press and the juice is heated in the cauldron. After boiling the juice jaggery is made, and boiling the jaggery, raw sugar is obtained. Heating the raw sugar, refined sugar is obtained. When sugar again burns herself, rock candy is obtained. Kabir says: From rock candy, sugar candy-which is liked by everyone- is made. In the same way, if the disciple bears all his sufferings, with Master's grace, he can easily cross the Ocean of Life. Who can develop the qualities of Mritak? HYMN Dharam Das, to develop the qualities of a Mritak is hard; only a brave soul can do it. The coward cannot bear to hear it. He runs away and feels as if his body and mind are burning. Only those disciples who are looked after by the Master can board the boat of Master's Knowledge. And this is true: that one who gets that knowledge, definitely goes to his eternal home. Only Mritak is a Sadhu COUPLET Only he who becomes Mritak is a Sadhu and only he realizes the Satguru. PROLOGUE He removes all illusions and even the gods depend on him. Who is a Sadhu? 0 Dharam Das, the path of the Sadhu is very difficult. He who lives as Mritak is a perfect Sadhu. He who has controlled the five organs of senses and drinks the nectar of Naam day and night is a Sadhu. Controlling the organ of seeing First of all control the eyes, and meditate on the Naam received from the Master. Seeing the Beautiful Form of God is the only worship for these eyes; he should not desire any other. One who understands "beautiful" and "ugly" as the same, and doesn't look at the body, enjoys happiness forever. Controlling the organ of hearing His ear should be fond of hearing good words, and should not like to hear bad words; But he who bears both-good and bad words-likes the Knowledge of the Master to remain in his heart. Controlling the organ of smell The nose is controlled by pleasant smells, but the clever saints keep it in their control. Controlling the organ of taste The tongue wants pleasant tastes: sour, sweet and delicious tastes. But the Mritak does not know any difference between tasty and tasteless things. He does not get excited even if he is brought the Five Nectars. He does not refuse food without salt, and lovingly accepts whatever is served him. PROLOGUE Controlling the male genital organ This organ is wicked and very sinful. Lust is conquered by only a few ones. A lustful woman is the mine of Kal. Leave her company and become the Knower of the Guru. Controlling lust Whenever the wave of lust comes one should wake himself up. He should put his attention into Shabda and, keeping quiet, should drink the Nectar of Naam. When he merges into the Elementless, lust will be finished. The god of lust is a robber HYMN Lust is a mighty, dangerous and pain-giving negative power, Which made the gods, munis, yakshas, ghandharvas, indulge in sex. All of them were plundered-only a few who remained determined with the quality of their knowledge were saved. Those who have the Light of the Satguru's Knowledge and are with Him, have the secret of the Path. The ways of escaping from lust, the robber COUPLET Enlighten your inner Self with the Lamp of Knowledge. Meditate on the Satguru Shabda and the thief of darkness will run away. Example of the anul bird With the grace of the Master the jiva is called "Sadhu," and, becoming the and bird, goes back to his eternal home. Dharam Das, understand these words: I am telling you about the anul bird, Who lives in the sky and is supported by the air day and night. She performs the sexual act through the eyes and in that way becomes pregnant. She lays her eggs in the sky, where there is no support: The egg is nourished while falling; in the sky it is hatched and the young bird takes birth; It is on the way that it opens its eyes, and on the way that it gets its wings.
