Excerpts from a Satsang by Dr Harbhajan Singh, St. Gilgen, 10th August 1988
Video: Sant Kirpal Singh — Master’s Love is Unique (8:09)
“May we all get together only to live and do for Him.
This is the shortest way to overcome this separation.”
Love is not that which changes. Love is an eternal thing. No storms, no winds, and changing circumstances of the world, cannot change it. And that comes when we know Him, or when we know that there is no way out.
The love that changes, or we exchange the love of God with the worldly attachment, it’s no love. We betray, we betray ourselves.
But I tell you, Master love is not so difficult as the worldly love. Because the worldly love changes. But Master’s love, once it is established in the heart, it does not leave us, or we can not leave it.
Because no strength, no power in the world, is born to detach it. Rather, it is beyond the barriers of worldly people, and it has no barrier, and it has no limit.
So how we get that love?
“If you love me, keep my commandment.”
— John 14:15
Master is the abode of love. If we obey Him, He gives such a vibration of His love that it is sufficient for the life eternal. It does not break.
So love is that which is established not only in this very body, but it is related to the soul. And the soul has to realize that love in all high planes.
When the soul overcomes a lot of shortcomings, then more love is established by the Master. Then He gives more love.
I tell you, a stage comes when full love of the Master is established in the heart of the disciple. Then at that time, he cannot recognize whether, “I am the Master or anything else.” He most of the time doubts,
“No, I am not speaking, but the Master is speaking.
This is not my body, this body belongs to the Master,
it is the Master-body.”
Then, Master and the disciple become one. They are not two. So, love is that power which makes from two to one.
Some poets say that love is one-sided. Yes, it is one-sided, because of worldly love. Because mostly there is a negative sign and there is attachment. We cannot claim (otherwise).
Whereas the love of God is reciprocal, because Master is the abode of love.
He is an Ocean of All-Consciousness,
an Ocean of Love, and we are born out of it.
We are the drop of it.
This love is very permanent. Love is that which knows the heart of the Beloved. With the love of the God, our love is intensified everywhere. Wherever our attention goes, there the love goes, there the vibration goes.
There are books full of “What is love?”
But this love is innate in the soul.
We have to go within and attain it. Man can make the best use of that love, due to the awakening. This being the intellect, this awakening, which is the right understanding, he can make the best use of that contact.
You take anything from the life of the Master, a lesson is given to us. And we should not forget it. It is our real purpose. And we have to fulfil it. And no exception to the rule.
So, this is a high time, I tell you, to know ourselves and to know the Master (God). It is a time to live 100% in accordance within the wish of the Master.
Previous times have changed. Master said, that His disciples should become like Him. I tell you, so far it remained a dream. But if we now obey Him and deal with our mind and the habits, very firmly and strictly, this Grace is there.
Master wants to create each one of us, as a conscious one.
Help is possible to everyone.
Now, Master Power wanted to work with thousands of hands. You do everything consciously, grace will follow you. That is the way to have His love and to have His grace.
Whatever we do in the world, whatever duty we perform, that should be done consciously. Consciously means that you do not provide food to the negative power. You do not provide food to the mind. Mind should depend upon you, fully.
Master says,
“If you have some problem and that (negative) power is going to kill you,
better to go at top of the house and cry for the help.”
So please, it is a time also to go at the top of the house, here (at the seat of the soul), and make prayer, and pray for His forgiveness. He is very merciful. He will forgive you.
Be clear-hearted every moment, so that Master has all the time a place to stay in your heart.
