Bolo Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Bhagavān Kī Jai, Mādhav Kṛṣṇa Gurudev Kī Jai, Viśvaguru, Mahāmaṇḍaleśvar, Paramāṁśī, Ugārāj, Maheśvarānandajī Mahārāj Kī Jai. Tumhe bhī choḍe kyā bane, maiṁ kiske śaraṇ jāūṁ? Śiva vṛnda, muni Nārada, tinke hara dī na samāvūṁ. Today is a very good day. It is the fifth day, and on the day we receive satsaṅg we understand how fortunate we are. We are fortunate to have obtained a human body. For what purpose were we born human? For our own welfare. In other births we have only the right to experience karma, but in human birth we have the right to perform new karma. This birth is extremely rare; engage in satsaṅg and work for your kalyāṇa. That is the true benefit of this life. Mahāprabhujī has shown us that whatever you do, stay with satsaṅg and with the guru and secure your kalyāṇa. We sing about him today, and again today we take the name of that great soul and offer praise. The Mahātma performed penance, and so we recall him. With discernment—viveka means knowledge—do everything. Speak, walk, rise, sit: do all with knowledge. Speak in such a way that the mind remains pure and the body remains pure. In this vein the verse says: Karke vivek vachan gā bhāī, pīche bhār nako. Ab tum aisā vachan mukh bhākho. Pratham lābh tum satsaṅg karlo, janam sudhar jāī ṭhāko. Satrī saṅgat kā matambārī mati chuk jotā ko. Kabhī ho thāko chūko, tobā chuko ne, chaurāsī hai. The first benefit is satsaṅg. Reform your life through it. In the company of truth, the intoxication of the world is overcome and the mind is set right. Should you ever slip, repent immediately, for otherwise you fall into the cycle of eighty-four. Bhagavān tells Arjuna, “He Arjuna, go into the refuge of such a great soul, abandoning all deceitful feelings and serving him.” That great soul will impart such a teaching that you will be blessed. Then the Guru also did it. The Guru himself did it, and the Guru did not do it. Then the Guru, having done it, changed his feeling, changed his nature, changed his body. Guru Mahārāj performed such a wonder that the devotee cried out: Jāko he gurudev, maiṁ kaun sā hūṁ, maiṁ kaun jāūṁgā, mūjko kyā karnā hai, o āp mūjko bhed batāve. The second benefit is to take refuge in the Guru. The third benefit is to take refuge in the Nirmal. Then the seeker asks, “See who I am, who I am, where I have come from. Now tell me the difference.” The response unfolds in the fourth benefit: Phir chautā lābh gurū jñāna sunāve, citta vacan meṁ rakkho. Śaraṇa, manana, nidhyāsana karke dhyāna rakhje, pākho so. Belī bhāskar sunnī, phir uskā manana karnā, phir unkā nidhyāsana karnā. Śaraṇ amrak jiyo kīje, manan bel samān, Nidhyāsan bakrī sam kare, tapāve kalyāṇ so. First hear the words of the Guru with the ear of a lover of light; then ponder them (manana); then absorb them through deep contemplation (nidhyāsana). Take refuge like the amrak, practice manana like the vine, and do nidhyāsana like the goat—such practice burns the impurities and brings about your ultimate good. Then, after listening to such words and engaging in manana, the fifth benefit comes: search within yourself. Pañcam lābh khoj apne ko, maiṁ hūṁ nūr khudā ko. Satsaṅg meṁ karo kilol, abhigyān amīr acchā ko tum milegā. Dumāne gā jhudā, tum khud hai khudā. In the fifth benefit you enquire deeply into who you are. You discover “I am the light of the Divine.” In satsaṅg, revel joyfully and you will receive the wealth of direct recognition. When the breath becomes separate, you realise you yourself are the Divine. O Paramātmā, there is no separation from You. In the shelter of the Guru, salvation is certain: Guru sītal chaṛhiyā gagan pe, deha naubat pe ḍaṅkā. Guru chānna me nistār julu, habe om prakāś koha ko. The cool grace of the Guru has risen to the sky, beating the drum of the body’s truth. In the sieve of the Guru, liberation is filtered; we receive the light of Om. Therefore, always speak with such words: Karke vivek vachan kā bhārī, pīche bhār na ko. Bolo Sadguru Bhagavān Kī Jai.
