"Liberation"

Dhan Nirankar ji...

 

There seem to prevail an illusion that one attains Liberation by merely attaining god-knowledge (Brahm Gyan). No doubt, attaining God-knowledge is an imperative pre-requisite for Liberation and therefore a great achievement. Yet, the blessees have to go a long way to evolve as spiritual beings to be liberated. Let us ponder over what Baba Avtar Singh Ji says in this regard:

Daroo poora Bajh Parhezon Asar Jiven Nahin Kar Sakda,

Amal Na Hathin Kariye Jekar Kam Nahin Koi Sar Sakda.

Dhoodh Nahin Mildi Sant Jana Di Jekar Man Satkar Nahin,

Gian Kadi Nahin Dil vich Tikda, Je Gur te Itbar Nahin.

Gur Bin Hunda Gian Kadi Nahin, Man Bin Gian Khalonda Nahin,

Avtar, Je Panj Pran na Maniyen, Shabd Bodh Vi Hunda Nahin.

Just as the best medicine cannot be effective without observing the precautions, Likewise no task can be accomplished without practical action. The dust of the sacred feet of the saints cannot be attained if there is no respect in the mind, Divine Knowledge can never stay in the heart unless one has faith in the True Master.(Divine Knowledge can never be attained without the True Master and the mind cannot be controlled without God-knowledge, Avtar Says, unless one abides by the Five Vows, Divine Word cannot be assimilated.)

 

In the above cited hymn, the crucial word is BODH, meaning to assimilate – a clear understanding. In other words, a clear understanding enables one to act rightly. The chief aim of God-knowledge is to transform a human from a physical to a spiritual being and for this a clear understanding of God-knowledge and its implications is essential.
