Self Realization Through God Realization
God manifests itself in every particle and the constituent (soul) of this supreme power is present in every entity. Our real identity is the soul. Our physical entity is not our real identity. If the physical form or body were our real identity, there would not have been any mention of self realization. Our true identity is the soul, a component of the super soul (God) and we need to realize and know this. Every day, we see ourselves in the mirror many times and the image we see is of our physical body. This is our identity up to this level, for us as well as for others. We ourselves and others recognize us in this form. This is not our true entity and identity. Soul is the true entity and our real identity, about which we are unaware. That is why we say, we have to do self realization i.e. 'know thy self'. But when will we know ourselves? We are able to recognize our physical self with the help of a mirror. If we had never looked into a mirror, we would have remained unaware of our physical appearance. We could not have recognized ourselves. Imagine a person who has never looked into a mirror and has never seen his image and somebody takes his picture with a camera and places it in front of him. He would be bewildered as to whose picture is this. He is unaware of his physical appearance though his own picture has been placed in front of him. But he is bewildered, trying to decade the identity of this person. In the same manner, the soul has not realized God; which mirrors his real self. The God is the source of this soul and it is through the realization of God that one would know oneself. That is why we talk of self realization through God realization.
Satguru Is Always With You
Guru and the formless God are one. Do not look at the physical form of Guru as physical body is not your Guru. The body is mortal and Guru is immortal. The eternal knowledge is your Guru. The knowledge of the Formless is attained from Guru. Nothing is outside the purview of Guru. Whatever Guru desires, happens; and Guru does nothing against the wishes of the Formless. I have made you perceive the Formless and you have to simply love Him. Do not try to pour out your grief to any ordinary person. Even if you come and share your agony with me, I would say,' Alright, the True Lord will accord His mercy'. These words of mine may also not be helpful. However, you can get benefited through one way, and that is to pray before the Omnipresent Lord shown to you. All your agony vanish the same moment. All your efforts are to be rewarded only by the Formless God; the Guru in form has to simply give a cue. The one who accept Guru's words will become happy. Dear Saints, Satguru is not the name of physical body that perishes. Satguru remains with you forever. You simply need to fully focus on Him.
