(From memory recall-as understood)

In normal course we consider “Spirituality” with “attainments” in
Life. Spirituality is in fact an “Awakening” and not
some sort of attainment. Attainment is something that you do not have
and you have to work for it. All of us are “spiritual beings” having “”human
experience”. We are unaware of the
inherent spirituality within all of us. All we need to do is to “awaken” that spirituality that we
already have. This is gifted equally to all of us. It is not that Saints
have more and others have less. The
difference is that Saints have become conscious to that spirituality, while we
have yet to “awaken” to that state in consciousness.
We all know that this creation is created and sustained by the Shabd.
We need Shabd as our anchor in Life. In our daily activities we are attached to
the physical, which is changing and transitory.
This is what is called Maya, which is not permanent. “Aye Jaye,
Yeh May ka Roop”—something which comes and goes is Maya. In physical we are
limited, while Shabd is unlimited. Any sickness or accident in life disturbs
us. If we get the support of all powerful and permanent Shabd we are able to
live through that period with ease in our life.
The awakening of Shabd or the spirituality within comes through
meditation and concentration. What can our efforts
achieve? They are limited as compared to the objective we are seeking. With our efforts we are merely trying
to clean ourselves so that we may become receptive to His grace. The entire
stress on “Nam Bhkati”or Simran is to ensure that preparedness for receptivity.
Normally we pray for his grace. His grace is there all the time but we remain
ignorant of the many ways He showers His grace. But for His grace we would not
have taken this human birth. With spiritual awakening
we can realize and appreciate that flow of Grace.
Many persons complain that despite their efforts, they have not been
able to see any “light” or hear any “sound”. “Light” represents development of higher
Consciousness. The more the Shabd becomes as anchor in our lives, it takes us
away from Maya and that provides realization, which is the “light” of higher
understanding. Sound is meant to provide sense of direction and takes us to the
source from where the sound is coming— whether we are going on the correct course
of spirituality.
Maharaj ji has blessed us with Nam, He has seen that spark of our
capabilities and has taken full responsibility for that spiritual awakening.
Right direction has been determined. A little time and a little effort is
required to walk in that very direction.
We need to devote a little time and a little effort for the
commitment we made to Maharaj Ji at the time of initiation and He shall take
full care of us. Nothing will be lacking.
