hey mana tu jot saroop hain apna mool pehchan

[narinder bhandari]

Dear Friends,
Narinder writes this missive to you all with Love.
Let there be Joy in receiving, receive with Love.

A million words we keep reading, a million have been read
Examine your Mind’s state, and right Now, find…become aware ..........
That
That, for which the million words were read and heard, and spoken too ,
Is still far away, far far away !


Do you think, then,
That reading a million more words, and hearing them, too ,
You will find that
Which is not a Word; which, though the source of all words,
Is
Silence.

Not the word ‘silence’,
But
Silence itself .
Silence,
The beyond-ness, the transcendence, …that which is the very substratum of the Word
And Without which, no word will be intelligible !

And it would so seem
Truly seem
That we are up against The Impossible !

And yet, the Knowers of Silence ,
The Knowers of the Truth that is Silence of Being,
The womb of all Creation and Creativity
Have said :
Have said, that The Truth can be known
Realised
As clearly as you can see the palm of your own your hand !

AND

That Truth, that Reality of your own self
Your own being, is not….
Not your body, mark you ,
Not your body, nor your mind, nor your intellect,
But that, which illumines your Intellect and your mind,
And, your body enlivens, This Moment Now
That Truth
The Truth you seek
Is
Your own Self.....

Your Own Self,
The ‘I am-ness’ needing no affirmation, nor ever suffering denial of being.

“When the Self is Known, All is Known”
have the Knowers of Truth so affirmed !

And all knowers of The Truth have averred,
Once again have said,
That
No amount of reading ,
No amount of reciting
No amount of hearing
No amount of doing
No amount of not - doing
Will lead you into Silence of Being.

And yet , my friends, nothing is Irrelevant
Let your Doing( Karma) be your Worship.....
Transform your Hearing Into Understanding
Make your Recitation ‘The Way’ to the Japa Yoga
Let your Reading become a longing for reveletion
And
Realise the Self
That Leads you into Freedom from all Fear, All Pain, All Doubts !

AND How ??

Only One way, there is …. The door is but One !
The Door is The Guru
The Guru is the Door
The Guru is the Dwara !

The Guru
Guru Means Light, True Light.

How can One, who has himself not known Light
Lead the Darkness of Ego
Into that Light, which does not destroy the darkness, Ego
But Embraces it … to make it One with Light .

And So, Narinder must now come to the end of his Missive

The Guru is ever in search of the Ego,
The darkness, which is ready to sacrifice itself ,
In order to become Light.
................Not become, exactly,
But
Discover that it is Itself the Light Divine
Ever Free it is ! And was always So !
And can never ever be otherwise.

If You be That….My Friend
You
The One, who today is groping in darkness
And today, Here and Now, has understood the Essence of This Missive
This Missive of Mine
Which is really not Mine … for it is The Eternal Missive for The Seeking Hearts
And Narinder , one day, feeling that He had had enough of Life and living
Life and Living , the worldly Way,
Had taken refuge in the Said Missive.


If you be The Friend
The Seeking Heart
Thirsty enough to Give up all elixirs , but the Guru
Then, who is The Guru
To refuse you entry
Into the Life Divine
The Joy Eternal
The Bliss Infinite Of The Moment Now .
This Moment Now !

BUT
Let me warn you
Heed this Warning
This Path is Not Easy
It is Not for the Cowards , who are afraid of Death and Dying
For The Guru
Will not have from you
Less than your Head .

With Love , My Friends , narinder began This Missive Divine
With Love, he ends … May all Joy indeed be yours
Ever and ever.
May the Akal Purukh Bless you with Courage, Wisdom, Strength and good Cheer
This Moment Now .
