Jammu Tawi: Sadguru Shri Madhuparamhans Ji Maharaj, while delivering an enlightening discourse in Ranjdi, Jammu, today, spoke about the profound teachings of Kabir Sahib and their deep connection to spirituality and the nature of existence. He explained that Kabir Sahib’s words are unique and often ridiculed by the world. However, those who take the time to contemplate and understand his words truly connect with the soul and its divine essence.
Shri Madhuparamhans Ji Maharaj elaborated on Kabir Sahib’s assertion that the soul and the Supreme Soul are like dreams, emphasizing the idea that everything in the world, including the Guru and the disciple, is part of a dream-like existence. The only exception, he stated, is the Sadguru, who transcends the dream state and represents the ultimate truth.
Drawing from ancient scriptures, the Sadguru referenced the conversation between Sage Vashishtha and Lord Ram, where Vashishtha enlightened Ram Ji that the world is a product of the mind’s imagination, and if one gains control over the mind, the world ceases to exist. He emphasized the role of meditation in attaining spiritual realization and understanding the nature of the world.
Sadguru Ji clarified that the purpose of meditation is not to see anything external but to quiet the mind, as the mind’s distractions shape our perception of the world. He urged the followers to focus on the essence of meditation, which lies beyond physical sights or sounds, stressing that true divine experiences are beyond sensory perception.
He further explained the concept of “Anhad,” referring to the unstruck sound that comes from the union of the body’s nerves, and cautioned that such sounds are not divine in nature. The true divine sound, he stated, is the “wordless word,” known only to saints.
Concluding his discourse, Sadguru Ji spoke of the importance of the Sadguru in one’s spiritual journey. He said that the Sadguru is the guiding light, beyond worldly distractions, leading the devotee to the ultimate truth. Referring to the revered term “Sahib” used by saints and in sacred texts, he explained that “Sahib” is the ultimate reference to the divine, representing the true, formless nature of the Supreme Being.
