Jammu, Dec 22: Addressing a Satsang at Satwari Chowk, Jammu after the culmination of a grand rally, Satguru Madhu Param Hansji Maharaj of Sant Ashram "Sahib Bandgi", of spiritual awakening movement said that there is a great difference between a guru and a satguru. There has been no mention of word satguru before Sahib Kabir. Only the word guru was prevalent. So, should we take the use of this word satguru as an opposing one to that of word guru. No, it is not like that. Earlier, the gurus talked about 3 lokas alone. Also , the word guru is to be found in the sagun as well as the nirgun forms of worship. It is only the saints who made use of word satguru. In the sagun as well as the nirgun, the guru holds a shigh status but he simply shows the path of meditation and salvation and doesn't take the responsibility of taking the disciples across the worldly ocean.
The disciples have to make their own earnings to do so. So to say, the guru simply acts as a guide. A satguru, on the other hand, doesn't ask you to make any earnings. He himself takes you across the worldly ocean. What a great difference between the two is there! Sahib Kabir says that the satguru himself will create spiritual awakening within you and will enable you realize the power of good within you. For going to Amarlok, one needs the true Nam. Only a satguru, after blessing the devotee with true Nam, helps him reach there by his grace and blessings. The power of Nam will take him there. Anyhow, if some hurdle appears, the grace of satguru will remove it. Niranjan and Maya don't let anyone go across this Brahmand. They don't want anyone to reach the inner world even. They try their best to mislead Jiva in many ways. As such, no question og going across the limit of Niranjan can arise. A Jiva can't cross this limit however hard it may try. It is the satguru alone who with his power takes the Jiva across this limit. |
