' 7 + 7 + 7 = 21, the 21st century, the century of Truth ' - Baba Ji

[Note: In Punjabi the number seven is pronounced as SAT, which also means Truth.  So 7+7+7 in Punjabi is pronounced "Sat+Sat+Sat" i.e. Truth, Truth, Truth.]

In every corner of the earth there are people who are choosing to fight their corner, defend their heritage, history, culture. To dominate through religious supremacy, dominancy, ideology, and dogma. Whilst the rest follow like sheep. If we look around and observe society, the vast majority of  these people, are still enslaved by their cultural, religious programming. They are resisting to step outside of their conditioned paradigms, and cosy boxes of thought.

Each system thinks that their way is somehow better. That their prophets, teachers, sages, and demi- gods delivered the undeniable, flawless, unprecedented Truth. However, religion is a man - made construct, and even in today's, free- thinking, democratic societies it is a cause of prejudice, supremacy, violence, bloodshed, hatred and war.

'Religion is the opiate of the masses' - Karl Marx

The worshipping of demi - gods and deities is an empty ritualistic practice. The divine qualities the statue represents is, symbolic of what the seeker must personify. What use is the symbolic feeding and bathing of a statue when the individual has not attempted to clean their own body temple, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and become nourished in their own being. One may spend a whole lifetime bowing to a book. But, refrain from adhering to the wisdom generated by the great  book. One may kneel before a cross and believe that they are forgiven. But, never take any pro active action to modify their behaviour. One may travel to distant dessert lands, pray five times a day, keep penance, fast for the holy month, and still see view those of a different, colour, caste and creed as the devil, kafir.

Fundamentally, the majority of belief sysytems out there on the market believe that they have solved the God code. That they have the know - how, and that their thinking should not be challenged.

The Pure, Primal, Supreme Energy, the Enigmatic Enigma, the Beginning and the End, The Everything. Cannot be understood by the quazis, pundits, scholars, scientists. They have tried to measure, quantify, and verify the vast extents of the Source with their theorems. There is even now substantial scientific research to advocate the theorem of an ever expanding Universe, that dark matter in space emits a frequency, and is in a constant state of expansion and unfolding.

Expansion, inifinity and abundance are supreme qualities of Source.The Source energy is ageless, timeless, boundless. This energy cannot be defined by a period in history, a group of people or a set of symbols. This is because Source energy is constantly and consistently unfolding itself. The energy renews, replenishes, refreshes, and remodifies itself. The Source is experiencing itself in every heartbeat, every cell, every leaf, every breath, every tear.

'That's way God keeps sending new bhagats,  to understand Himself. He is addicted to experience Himself ' - Baba Ji

Everyday when I step outside of the sanctuary of my own home. I step into a world that is deeply saturated by a smog of illusion. At times I observe human beings as caged animals pecking at each other, bickering in contained claustrophobic spaces. Their melancholy at the loss of their potential, in a state of confusion with no inner peace. Stuck, stagnant, silently withering away behind their wry smiles.
 
In today's civilisation  we have two types of belief systems the archiac religions desperately trying to hold onto the golden era of their pasts. Together, with the emergence of the new breed of structures. The modern day places of pilgrimages, the modern meccas. The shopping malls, public houses, coffee houses, the saloons, gambling halls and bars. Arenas full of people fierce faced in a, frenzy to fill their void with, shopping, alcohol, drugs. When that fulfils it's purpose there's always the other demi - gods left, the  gadgets, to coerce into a digital world full of fake friends. Socially and emotionally inept and devoid of having any meaningful, real life interaction.

In such a myriad of influences. How does one seek the Truth ?
Religion has failed. It has failed massively it is, outdated and is a construct of cultural control. How do we as individuals summon the strength to step out of the box of programmed conditions, and stagnant thinking ? We do not need to seek comfort in habitual Sunday worship, prayer or ritual. The Truth is within one's own body temple. In ancient Hindu lore it is said, that the demi - gods hid the most sought after treasure and priceless gem in the abode of the human. The treasure is hidden within, every single being has access to it. It is deep with one's own shrine where it cannot be tarnished or exploited and is kept safe out of sight. The game play of the sage, is Truth, Love, Compassion and Service. The precepts on the path of Divine Grace awaken, the Divine Virtues and Divine Treasures deep within.

' No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies asleep in the dawning of our own knowledge. If (the teacher) is indeed wise he does not bid you to enter the house of wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind.'
- Kahil Gibran, The Prophet

If one wants to learn a skill or art. One goes to a teacher who is adept in that particular field. I can only speak for my myself, and my own experience, on my journey towards self - realisation. I had become massively discontented with my previous paradigms. The Teacher in far distant lands was a welcome breath of fresh air, with his eccentricities and unconventionalism. Over the culmination of  years. What my Teacher has given me is priceless, there is no measurement on it. Over the years, he has invested copious amounts of effort and energy into rearing myself, and those that walk the path with me. Thus, it can be agreed that, when we take one step towards the Master, He takes thousands of steps towards the student. There is not one part of the journey where He has not been there, to guide me, counsel me, serve me. He gave me something that was invaluable. He gave me His time. His time to talk. His time to teach. His time to listen. His ear to allow me for my, emotive expression. That time has carved me into who I am today. A stage in my  journey I began to understand that all my interactions were conditional, there was a expectation. Except for the one, with my Teacher, and in the end, it  was the only interaction that, was left that, was unconditional, and where He accepted and allowed me to be the person I was, without any judgement. He gave me a space to, just be. The Master is The Everything, for without the Master we are not able to understand ourselves. 

'Teachers open the door. You enter by yourself' - Chinese Proverb
We require copious amounts of Divine Grace to continuously strive forward on the path. We need to summon up ourselves equal amounts, of valour to inject on the journey.

Baba Ji trades in the highest religion, a religion that is beyond religions, concepts or beliefs. It is Divine Wisdom in action. He is in allegiance and service to Truth. All Masters trade in it, they serve it, bathe in it, and enshrine it. To many the concept of Truth is an alien and abstract modus operandi. To some extent they are right, because there are no words to describe it. It is an experience. It is an experience of being in alignment with your highest aspect, highest truth, and then to deliver and serve it. It feels intuitively right, it feels expansive it feels in alignment with a broader, spacious, expansive aspect of oneself. It feels liberating. It flows through you, and around you. It is absolutely amazing, and makes you feel totally, alive. It is intense euphoric brilliance. Once it is tasted it can never be forgotten. Such is it's potent power.

The Teacher only seeks to serve Divinity in whatever shape or form it presents itself. Every opportunity, every moment is seen as a blessing to do so. The secret to achieving spiritual success and results is through the gracious act of service. The sacrifice of our time, energy and  resources to the betterment, and upliftment of others.

'By serving others, you are served. First of all your reward will be patience. Then watch someone will come out of ten directions too feed you, clothe you, talk too you' - Baba Ji
 
Baba Ji touches peoples lives, he heals hearts, he lifts their souls out of despair, treats their mental and physical sickness. Baba Ji does not put a price on his service, seek reward, or ask for any  monetary gain. He greets anyone that comes to his door with open arms, and a generous loving heart. He serves diligently, relentlessly, generously, day in day out. He addresses himself as the lowest of the low. As the servant of everything.

This quote, sums up for me, the dynamic between Baba Ji, and the student.
'Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.' Albert Camus

The following is a four step process which will enable you dear reader to clarify for yourself areas of where you can be of service. The questioning process will enable you to be guided to partake in the acts of service, your time, energy and resources. The first aspect of the question is raised to the Source and the next part is to oneself. This is in order to become in vibrational alignment with the highest and best part of oneself, and to override any conflicting, shadowy parts of the persona. So that the process is intuitive and not cerebral.

Self - Inquiry Process for Service

Where do you want me to serve ?
Where do I serve ?

When do you want to serve ?
When do you want me to serve ?

How do you want to serve ?
How do you want me to serve ?

Who do you want to serve ?
Who do you want me to serve ?
  

In service and allegiance to the Perfect Teacher, the Perfect Servant, Baba Ji. This dog only longs to be at the feet of the Master. This dog barks for the continuous, ever flowing grace of the Benevolent Master. An ignorant, insignificant dog.

Blissful  Blessings
In Gratitude
