Thousand Petalled Lotus

O Dear Lord of the Universe,
You are the Support of my breath of life.

You are my Best Friend and Companion,
my Help and Support; You are my family.

You placed Your Hand on my forehead;
in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, I sing Your Glorious Praises.

By Your Grace, I have obtained all fruits and rewards;
I meditate on the Lord's Name with delight.

The True Guru has laid the eternal foundation;
it shall never be shaken.

Guru Nanak has become merciful to me,
and I have been blessed with the treasure of absolute peace.

- Siri Guru Granth Sahib

Glorious, majestic, jewelled and radiant are the Saints, crowned and honoured in the Celestial Court of King of Kings. The beauteous brides are bethrothed to the Supreme Love, they are steeped in the vibrant shade of crimson dye. The majestic soul brides  have enshrined the Lord's name in their hearts and minds, and who utilise their human abode as a mechanism to serve, uplift, giude and shelter through the fourteen relams of the cosmos. Such souls lost themselves in their love for the Perfect Teacher, they became so intoxicated, exhilirated and enthralled with the divine love. That they sacrificed the entirety of themselves. They shed their, intellect, logic, rationality and surrendered to the love that they felt. If this love ever eluded  them, they would no doubt go insane and go to the ends of the earth to seek it, to find it's source, and origin.The divine melody of love plays through their soul like a celestial sitar. They themselves have become a story book of love, a perfect picture, the perfect poem, the perfect embodiment, the perfect melody. One could say 'as deserved', but the truth of it is that, they have earnt it. Through sacrificial surrender of the self. They consistently demonstrated their love for the Divine Source. They jumped through all the hoops, challenged every obstacle, forged their will to succeed every inconcievable task presented to them, for their growth and evolution.

Contemplate the Name yourself;
inspire it to others;

By attending to it, discoursing of it, living by it,
obtain liberation

The true essence, eternal is the Lord's Name:

By spontaneous devotion, says Nanak,
chant the Lord's praise.

- Siri Guru Granth Sahib

The vibrational resonance of Truth, Life Force, Naam, the embodiment of Source energy, was the foregoing champion which enabled them to succeed on their path. The Supreme Source understands itself through the resonance of Truth, Satnaam. It is pure, primal, the beginning, and the end, the everything. So potent is it's power, that it will make the sage like itself. Prior to human birth the soul seeks a path to transmute it's karma, a path in which, to evolve, to transcend it's previous limitations and forthcomings. The soul chooses the path of the highest power available too it. It makes a contractual agreement to resolve niggling issues, and to grow regardless of the physical domain and circumstances. The pulsation of Truth was it's only support prior to conception. Once the soul enters the womb, the burning volcanic heat of the womb is unbearable, and the soul performs the entirety of  yogic asanas, it recites and glorifies the Truth as it's only support. It makes a  contractual pact, once again, with Source to be released from the fiery furor of such unbearable hardship.

The soul is released and birthed into the physical, earthly domain to fulifill it's obligations, complete it's transactions and neutralise it's karma. However, the soul has now, just entered the deadly, corrupt and polluted domain of  maya and illusion. Not only does the soul now have too contend, with it's own maya, it has to deal with it on a macro scale as well.  The soul falls into a sleepy slumber, of cozy false pleasure and forgets it's contractual pacts and allegiance to Source. Very few souls will recall their innate programming to awaken and seek the Source. Those that do, accumulate good deeds and invest in their energetic account, when their vibration and frequency has evolved. They will be guided by their own internal navigation programming to seek the Masters Grace. In the company of the Master, they are ignited by the Transmission of Divine Energy and begin to awaken from the bad dream of maya. They accumalate the Divine Treasures and Divine Virtues, serve  Truth and ultimately become an embodiment of Truth. They have broken the loop of infinity and fulfilled their contractual agreement to Source. Thus, they will not be birthed in the transitory cycle of suffering. When they do take birth again, they will do so, with the programming of an elevated soul, to bring balance through the cosmos and to serve humanity, the planet, the Universe and Source.

Throughout the whole metamorphsis process of a becoming  a sage. The Truth Name is the unbreakable support. It was prevalent prior to birth, it was the support in the womb. When the Master in physical form transmits the  Divine Energy. The student begins the metamorphosis process of transmuting the gift of pain, the gift of suffering, the gift of desperation.  Eventually, Truth Name weilds the student into the manifestation of  a sage. All the time the Truth Name was the only support and so was the Master (the embodiment of the Truth Name). The sage now assists and nurtures alchemical growth in others who walk the path. The sage endures their pain like a joy, drinks their pain in order for them to be relieved and released from their own suffering. So that they can attain maximum spiritual acceleration. From the womb to the tomb the primal beginning the Truth Name is everyhing, it is soothing healing balm, it is divine remedy for the physical illnes and mental viruses. It restores the balance, the equilibrium to the soul. It is obtained from the Truth Teacher.

The mystic sage Kabir was born in 15th century India to a humble house. Kabir longed to know the ways of the Divine. However, due to his lowly birth, not being from a Brahman house, he was not allowed to enter the circle of enlightenment seekers, or have a Master. One day Kabir cunningly covered himself in a shroud and lay at the bank of the river, and awaited for the Master to take his morning bathe. The Master kicked Kabir as he went past and said, 'Ram, Ram'  this is the way that the Naam was transmitted to Him.

In praise and glory of the Perfect Teacher, Baba Ji, he did not disclose the Truth Name he awakened, enlightened and shared the wealth of Naam with everyone who sought/seeks it. He does not base its transmission on the individuals deservingness or capability. The same Truth Transmission, the same Divine Wisdom is openly departed to everyone equally. Unlike the deities of the vedic pantheon who diverted the seekers focus onto themselves. Who enshrined themselves as Gods and relished the tantalism of their own worship. The True Saints glorify and praise only the Source. They see themselves are in service to Source and do not keep the Divine Wisdom of Truth hidden from anyone or seek their own glory.

Blessed be Baba Ji,

You are the Nirvana, 

You are the Shangri - La,

You are the Shamballa,

You are the Thousand Petalled Lotus.

I bow to You,

I am nothing,

I have nothing,

I know nothing,

I do nothing.

Kudos to the King of Kings, in gracious submission to my dear friend and Master, Baba Ji.

Blissful Blessings

In Gratitude
