Excerpts from a heart-to-heart talk of Dr Harbhajan Singh, St. Gilgen, 25 December, 1992
He who sees Him in all and all in Him, is His real disciple by Dr Harbhajan Singh (9:21)
You know,
“God is an Ocean of all intoxication.
And those who are the mouthpiece of God
are also rolling waves of intoxication,”
you see?
— Sant Kirpal Singh
What is meant by celebration?
To remember someone who is very lovable to you. We celebrate the birthday of Masters, and we celebrate the birthday of all who are lovable to us.
Celebration means remembrance, to remember somebody out of love.
So Master tell us,
“You remember your purpose of human life — that is a celebration.”
So there are some things which help us to celebrate our remembrance, celebrate our purpose of human life every day. If we celebrate it every day, then it will lead us somewhere.
If really one knows the very mystery, the very remembrance from within, he cannot remain separate from the One whom he loves. This is one difference.
We can live in the world without the One whom we love, because — on what ground?
There are so many grounds. Because it is something outwardly.
But what is inwardly, what is within? That is a very separate thing.
He who lives the life within, he shall have no rival, he shall have no difficulty, he shall have no disease of the mind, and he shall have no barrier with him. His consciousness at once will flow out of this body. It will never like to live in it.
Ultimately we will see that there is something (which helps) to change us, we can change ourselves. If really we know our subject (our purpose), then everyone wants to have it.
This is a beautiful life, because only by remembrance we are taken back by the One whom we remember. It is a link (to Him).
Even meditation itself is to remember God, to remember him breath by breath, to remember His commandments word by word, so that He is embedded in us and we are also embedded there in Him.
Our purpose is to create everlasting contact with Him.
Celebration means to awaken to our true self (soul or consciousness). It is entirely a man-making.
Right from today, we should start to live for our self, to awake into our self. That is a real celebration, I tell you.
The Gurmukh is in permanent peace and bliss.
In his heart resides Naam (WORD, God Power).
So contact with him will also give an inner peace and coolness.
— Sant Kirpal Singh
It is said by many Masters, that . . .
He who sees Him (God) in all and all in Him, he is the real disciple.
And who is that one?
Who is free from the duality, otherness, and ego, who has the right understanding. He can be such one (a real disciple).
If you are freed from the duality and ego, you will not feel separate from other, I tell you. You will have a lovable attitude for all. You will radiate something from within, because you have no duality, you have no otherness, you have the right understanding.
The right understanding will radiate from you, and that will affect other. Such persons, they see everyone in Him (God) — in their Master. And their purpose is to bring them back to that place (the Home of our Father).
So ultimately, the celebration, what does it mean?
To awake ourselves in Master,
to overcome our shortcomings,
to have the right understanding,
and to get rid of the ill effects, bad effects,
the negative effects of life.
We should lead a noble life, we should remember the Master by each breath, and word by word.
So these are a lovable commandment of the Master Power, that man should become a true human.
He should become a real person, so that he is not affected by the world and the worldly effects, and he does not ignore his purpose of human life.
He loves all from the core of his heart.
You know, there is a very high criterion about the love:
If you have love,
if you have good wishes for everybody,
you will never think bad of anybody.
In such heart Master appears.
Master awake this man more and more
into higher consciousness.
Whose heart is very broad, he lives for others. All others are equal for him. Such a person would love, would help others more lovably, more effectively to others than himself.
His purpose is just like a mother who always thinks much about her children and very little about herself — or she prefers the child first and then she thinks about herself. She will prepare the child first and then she will prepare herself. This is a way of the mother, I tell you.
The same ways that of the Master Power. The same way that of the high-spirited person. He always thinks more of others than himself. He has a distinction in his life, a special distinction.
We should lead a noble life,
we should remember the Master
by each breath, and word by word.
