Man Is A Visitor In This Physical World
You must understand that you are only a visitor in this physical world. It is not your final abode. There is anecdote: A saint visited a palace adorned with beautiful priceless items brought from various countries. Looking at the grand palace constructed with marble, the saint remarked “Wow! What a wonderful guest house.” The word ‘guest house’ disturbed the owner. He said that the man looked like a saint but had lost his senses because he was calling this beautiful mansion worth billions of rupees and adorned with equally precious articles, a guest house. He told the saint that it was not a guest house but a mansion. The saint asked him if he lived in the mansion. The man answered in affirmative and said that before him, his father and prior to that his grandfather lived there. The saint remarked that he had said the same thing that his great grandfather, grandfather and mother, none stayed there forever. Home means eternal abode but it was not so. Therefore, O man! Move forward in the right direction during life time before departing from this world so that you are respected here in this world and hereafter. And you will not have to feel disgrace in God’s court.
Complete The Urgent Task Of Knowing The Truth
After seeing God face to face, man bows to the omnipresent the way Arjuna bowed in the battle field of Kurukshetra. When one perceives God in every particle with the help of divine eye, he bows with reverence. God is indestructible, infinite and eternal. He is self created. Kabir ji also bowed in reverence after realizing God through a God-realized saint, Ramanand ji. Meerabai realized the indestructible Lord, the real form of ‘Shyam’ through the enlightened soul, Guru Ravi Das ji and then she also gave the message ‘Payo ree maine Naam rattan dhan payo.’ History of saints and sages is witness to the fact that after realization of supreme entity, “Nirankar”, we reach our destination, otherwise the journey continues and we remain caught in the cycle of life and death. That is why saints tell us to complete the urgent task of knowing the Truth. Those who realize this Truth, their journey gets over and perception of a distant God changes.
