"Lead Us From the Unreal To the Real,
Lead Us From Darkness To Light,
Lead Us From Death To Immortality,
Let There Be Peace, Peace, Peace in the Sound
(OM, Shanti, Shanti, Shanti)."
-- Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 1.3.28
"Blessed are the souls who in today's materialistic world have an inclination towards Spirituality." -Swami Sant Sevi Ji Maharaj
Take care to retain attention within the two eyebrows,
Purifying the mind and body fix thy gaze at one center;
Then shalt thou penetrate into the Beyond,
seeing the Reality face to face,
O Tulsi! The dust of the Saints spreads before thee a carpet of Light. -ParamSant Tulsi Das of Hathras
Listening to and study of the discourses on this sacred knowledge is an important step in the Sant Mat tradition. Listening to satsang (spiritual discourses) is prescribed as an essential activity.
The personal and private instruction in the art of this spiritual practice should be received from a Satguru (an accomplished spiritual master). Once the technique has been learned, one should practice it regularly and daily according to the instructions given by the master.
The transition from the waking state to the dreaming state is automatic and results in mental cares being left with an ensuing sense of relaxation. Similarly, in concentrating the mind and positioning it toward one-pointedness (intense internal transition), mental cares are left behind and a sense of ease pervades.
Concerning this, Kabir Sahab said:
"Hai kucha rahani gahani ki Bata,
Baitha rahe cala puni jata."
"There is something mysterious in such
activity in that in sitting, one walks."
