Glimpses of Satguru's Teachings
The root cause of unhappiness andrestlessness lies in the never ending desires for pleasures of senses and the mind. Generally, most of the desires of human beings remain unfulfilled and this causes disappointment and unhappiness. Even where certain desires are attained, a passing satisfaction may be achieved but further desires soon follow and this cycle continues to bring dismay and disillusionment. Satguru has elaboratory discussed these issues in his discourses and holy 'Granths' and has asserted that these limitations can be overcome by following the path of Samta.
Supreme peace comes from achieving oneness with the Supreme being by practising the tenets of Samta. He[God] being the core and life of the whole universe, eternel peace can only be attained by realizing Him. So, freedom from the cycle of birth and death and a state of equanimity even in the midst of duality and desires can only be gained by merging with the Supreme Self. All creation, indeed, His manifestation and all religious and holy books proclaim His glory. Verily, verily, teachings of Samta beacon all to follow the path led by the Great Master(Satguru) and be at perpetual peace with the Suppreme Divinity.
Five Cardinal Principles :
Satguru Dev laid down five main requirements for spiritual progress:
Simplicity: It pertains to simple food (i.e. free from intoxicants, meet and greed), simple dress (i.e. not nurturing pride or arrogance) and simple thoughts (i.e. devoid of envy, jealousy, bias or guile). A cool and claim mind alone can experience the realm of spiritualism. Eternal peace will automatically ensue by adopting simplicity in life.
Truth: God the supreme being is the only truth. All that is under the cycle of life and death is subject to change in shape or form over a time and is therefore, untruth. Attachment to truth provides immense strength for self-control and freedom from fear and worry. Adoption of this principle entails that one should attempt to act rightly, speak rightly and behave rightly. This is path of Dharma or Supreme Duty.
Selfless Service: It is an outstanding means for spiritual upliftment. If one dedicates oneself to the service of God's creation in a spirit of duty, one can free ones soul from selfishness, greed, envy and fear. The full import of service is to relieve pain of others by doing one's duty. Never do service with a motive or desire. The sincere effort should be towards doing good towards others, as one day everyone has to leave this world.
Right Association: This is the key factor in the path of spiritual progress. The place of gathering where there is discussion on truth and untruth or everlasting and transient is 'Satsang'. It is basic to the well being of individuals, socities and the world. 'Satsang' is the only to remove ignorance, bigotry, futile debates and selfishness.
Right Rememberance: It is in the nature of mind to think of many and wander around. Struggle, worries and fears keep the mind and the nerves under tension. On the other hand, if one were to focus ones attention on the eternal all pervasive Force, worries and mental tension would give place to calm serenity. It would also increase mind's power and perception and lead to the clarity of vision. Pursuit of this noble path leads finally to self-realisation.
