Biji Surinder Kaur – The Mother of the Sangat (6:18)
When Master hears the cry of the heart, He says,
“Prepare your ground!”
And when the soil is prepared, He sows the seed.
The soul cries,
“My eyes are hungry for Your inner sight, Your darshan,
come and give such a shower (of Your grace)
that I may quench my thirst.
My ears should only listen to the praise of Your nectar,
and only about Your grace.”
When there are clouds, there is hope for rain, in the same way, when Master brings water for us, then there is also hope for us to be able to drink it.
As there is hope for getting fruits when there are blossoms on the tree. When we have sweet remembrance and yearning for Him in our heart, He will find a way to come.
The Bhagats (devoties) — those who are really devoted, do the hardship and always pray to Him,
“Where shall I make Your bed in me so that You can sit on it all the time?
And how should my eyes be that nobody will see You when You come?”
“There is only one way: Come and hide in my eyes,
so that nobody may see You, but You see to everybody.
And if this is not acceptable for You either,
just make my love for You very strong!”
When the soul gets the Water (of Life) from Master inside, the soul cannot live separate from Him even a short moment.
Bhaji said,
“If you wish to make the inner journey,
you should be the companion of the Gurmukh,
a companion of the Sangat, and get the nectar of God,
only then He is always with you.“
Who may be called happy?
Who is in the company of the Saint.
And this is also today’s message for us:
We should be united only with our Lord, with our Master,
so that He may give His grace, but not only to us,
He should give His blessing to His whole creation.
When two or three of us sitting together in His name,
He is with us to listen to the voice of our heart.
There is only one way to get true peace:
To sit under His flag,
under His protecting umbrella,
and to get His colour.
