“God –
Consciouness as Stated in Our Scriptures”
The
life and teachings of a Satguru Kabir (Eternal Teacher) serve as a lighted path
through the tangled complexities of our material life. They breathe into us the
life sustaining principles of spiritual life that alone can bestow upon us an
understanding of what it means to live in freedom. This freedom is not to do as
we please, but freedom from passions, illusion, negativity, ego and ignorance
of the Divine Self. Such an Eternal Teacher was Satguru Kabir. He quickly
deflates our puffed up ego and vanity, showing us their negative influences in
our relationships with others, and, more so, in our relationship with God.
All
scriptural knowledge and all paths described in the scriptures culminate in
bhakti. All spiritual seekers who desire to find God must come to this point,
called divine-love-consciousness in modern English. This consciousness is the
joining link between a soul and God.
By
following three steps anyone can enter into divine-love-consciousness. The
first step is defining your spiritual goal. You know you are looking for
happiness. But 'you' from a scriptural point of view means not just body and
mind, but also soul. The soul is your true and spiritual self. It is a fraction
of God, eternal and Divine. The soul also has one desire; it is yearning for
such a love that could extend the peace and happiness of your mind to a
non-ending limit and make your heart blissful forever. That love is neither a
feature of your own mind nor a quality of this mundane world.
The
second step is finding a qualified teacher. In any age, great Masters impart
this eternal path of Divine unity through the radiance of their being and their
simple and direct teachings, such that any seeker of God's love could feel a
deep inner consolation from their association and guidance. Such true Saints
never give material blessings.
The
third step is learning the correct process of divine-love-consciousness.
Devotion takes place in the heart or emotional mind. It is not an intellectual
practice of concentration, transcendence, contemplation or the evolving of
psychic powers. It is not a physical practice or ritualistic worship. From your
heart you remember and desire your Divine beloved with devotional emotions. You
feel a longing to receive His Grace, love and vision.
When
divine-love-consciousness begins to develop in the mind, when the inner spark
of Divinity is awakened, a spiritual rejuvenation of your entire personality
slowly takes place. The warming rays of true selfless love for your Divine
beloved will open the lotus of your heart to receive the eternal shower of
God's Grace. That Grace is the direct means of knowing God in His true and
eternal form.

you
