    Preface

    Te ollowing content is ree rom any influence by groups o in-terest and institutional ormations as well as old and new spiritualorganisations which use the names o all Saints o the past andthe name o Kirpal Singh in doing so more than a ew misusethese names or their own interest.

    With the ollowing pages, it is, in no case, intended to criticise oreven to hurt people in their sincere effort in working or the onematter, namely the uplif o the whole mankind and the realisationo the rue Unity.

    Everyone can rejoice in the Gurus Love and Mercy. I do

    not want to disconcert anybody. Under instructions oGuru Nanak I will see that the rue Name (Sat Naam)will be repeated in the whole world.

    eg Bahadur

    It merely should be pointed out that even today it is possible to

    receive the Holy Initiation directly, by what it is possible or thesoul in man to rise above the iron curtain the human body and to cross the Inner Realms with the help and indispensablesupport o the rue Master Naam or Word to finally reachher origin, the Eternal Home, Sach Khand.

    Guru Gobind Singh has put it this way:

    He who is one and the same in the beginning and the endis the maniested Power o God, the Shabd, and that isthe Real Master.

    Chapter I

    Possibilities to come in Contact with Naam

    Bani Word or Sound Principle is the Guru, and Guruis the Bani personified, and the Elixir o Lie gushes outo the Bani.1

    Whoever accepts what the Gurbani says, he can be reedthrough the Grace o the Living Master.

    Excerpt from the book Godman:Chapter VI Te Need of a Master

    Te Formless God pervades the Universe in the orm

    o Shabd or Word; but we cannot eel blessed unless weare enabled to contact It within.

    Te entire atmosphere is charged with electricity but onecannot derive any benefit rom it so long as one cannotreach out to an electric switch that controls the energy

    coming rom the power-house.

    1 There is a vast difference between Gurbani and Bani. The former refers

    to the sayings of the Gurus as recorded in the Holy Scriptures especially

    the Granth Sahib , whereas the latter refers to the Eternal Sound Current,

    sometimes called Gur-ki-Bani, reverberating in all creation. It emanates

    from God Himself and He alone can manifest It. Moreover, this Bani Naam

    or Word is sounding throughout the four Yugas, ages, and gives itsmessage of Truth.

    Once this contact is established, it gives us light, hot or

    cold breezes as we may need, and helps us in innumer-able ways in sweeping the house, cooking our ood andthe like. It carries huge industrial loads like the prover-bial demon and does work that a thousand persons puttogether cannot do.

    In exactly the same way, i one could but reach out to

    some Human Pole where Gods energy in the orm oShabd is maniest, one can become truly blessed andreap a rich Spiritual Harvest beyond all measure. Saints,Prophets, Seers, and Master-Souls are such maniestedPoles that radiate Gods Light, Lie and Love.

    As it has appeared worldwide since 1974 afer Kirpal Singhs physi-

    cal departure, until today there are two possibilities or the sincereseeker afer ruth, according to the individual receptivity, to get incontact with Naam.

    Many people are allowed since 1974 through Gods ever-flowingMercy to meet independently this Power inside in the orm oKirpal Singh. Tese dear ones ofen do not know to integrate theexperience o this Power.

    Yet afer being led by Gods leading hand to the respective placeo His action, the dear ones joyully recognise this experiencedPower, or instance on photographs. Kirpal Singh emphaticallypointed out that photographs should not be used or the pur-

    pose o meditation by memorising them, or these images are

    unable to speak to the soul inside, they should be used merely

    and solely or sweet remembrance.

    Te dear ones already being indirectly in contact with this Power,receive then, through the Conscious Co-Workers o the DivinePlan, the still needully Holy Initiation and the Holy Initiationexperience, the necessary first-hand experience i.e. the con-scious contact with the Light o God and the Voice o God to

    ulfil the practical part o Spirituality, namely the Holy Medi-tation in their lives.

    Also people who did not encounter this Power beore the HolyInitiation consciously, are always afer Holy Initiation permitted as described since the beginning o time by all CompetentMasters to hear the Holy Sound Current which comes rom the

    right side and to see the Holy Light. Tey either then rememberthemselves afer initiation that they encountered this Power be-ore or they meet Kirpal Singh afer initiation within, respectivetheir individual receptivity.

    It is quite common that the Master o the Conscious Co-Workerso the Divine Plan working now, appears to the seekers afer ruth,or they always have the wish that everyone who receives Naam maysee their Master within. Tis was the reason that Hazur Baba SawanSingh ofen appeared together with Kirpal Singh to the disciplesduring initiation given by Him (Kirpal Singh).

    Tereore Kirpal Singh appears still today to the seekers afer ruth

    who through His overflowing Grace, receive the Holy Contact

    with the God-into-expression-Power, that is Naam, Shabd, Kalma,

    AkashBanior the Word which the human soul can experience asthe Divine Light and the Divine Sound Principle.

    Dogmas or Isms are taking place in the hearts o the seekers aferruth which met the Perect Master, whensoever He leaves thephysical plane or i the dear ones do not want to behave accordingto the Masters commandments.

    Tis happens by reasons o bondage, ego, lust, greed or by reason oname and ame. It is not uncommon that organisations are establishedafer the departure o the Master-Saints to keep Teir teachingsalive. Instead o being beneficial or this purpose, these structuresemerge over and over again, at all times, as rigid and dogmatic,not really acting in the interest o the seekers afer ruth; even i

    the intention may have been noble in the beginning to be helpulor those who till then have not had the great ortune to meet theLiving Master or His Gurumukhs and Khalsas.

    A place is only holy by the presence o a Saint. I the One leaves theplace again, the place itsel becomes worthless, or it is only the lie-Impulse o these Personalities Who animate the places. Te same is

    the case or organisations and structures. Tese institutional struc-tures without the guidance o a rue Saint rather hold up the seekerafer ruth than to supportingly escort him to the place where hecan come into contact with the saving Naam, the Holy Word.

    Even souls with a good ortune becoming inappreciably led astray,even i they met the Master within and came in contact with Naam,the Holy Word at places which are predestined.

    With all kinds o tricks and demagogic knacks selfish men not

    only those who were not put on the Path o Sant Mat throughGods Grace regrettably mislead the unprepared and insecuresouls on purpose in the name o Sant Mat and the Unity o Manrunning thus a business o soul catching; supported by recitationand explanation o the scriptures o Kirpal Singh and o other GreatSaints o the past according to their own interpretation, spiced withgestures and worldly goods including beautiul buildings, estates,

    wealth, reliquaries o deceased Saints, photographs, where you cansee them together with the Saints etc.

    All this is presented as an evidence to the insecure and unknowingsouls in order to give justice to the wangled claim o holiness.

    Not rarely people and places linked with the Saints names yield

    to slowly creeping delusion. Guru Nanak describes this inJap Ji asollows:

    Whenever one asserts the little ego, I, as doing things,one assumes the unending role o an ever-active agentresponsible or his actions and is caught in the intricatenet o transmigration.

    which unavoidably leads the Saints to leave these places. Tismight mean that Tey either move physically to other places orleave the body early with permission o the Almighty.

    Tese sacrileges caused by the disciples themselves lead to a slow and

    imperceptible closure o the Inner Eye concerning all those who sup-

    port this development by which the daily impressions transmitted

    by the human senses unconsciously become bigger and bigger,install themselves in Chit the lake o impressions and lead togeometrical multiplication o the wave-like vibration making themind project these patterns into the outside world, akin a abricor carpet being woven in an unending diversity o patterns and oextension.

    All this happens every time the staff o the Saints consciously orunconsciously start oppressing other people.

    (Like: I am the boss in the langar (camp o the ree kitch-en). I am the boss o the propagation o the writings. Iam the secretary. I am the president o the organisationXY. I met the Master earlier than you did , so you have

    to yield to my commandments. Or: You wont get theHoly Initiation as long as you wont break up with thisor that person.)

    Tey run, as Kirpal Singh puts it, the business o man hunting. Teydo not recoil rom making a ellow-being who generously distri-butes the blessings o Naam out to be a Kurahia. Tis behaviourautomatically leads to stagnation and restriction o the One ruth,thus in course o time it will no longer be allowed to be distributedat such places.

    Naam can only flow and be caught up in a golden cup whereromit is bestowed as mother natures ree gif through the Grace o the

    ever-working Almighty Power.

    Nanak says:

    Tere is no greater crime and sin than to lead someonewho is on the Right Path astray.

    Kabir Sahib says:

    Te poor sheep eats only grass and still gets eaten. What-ever happens to those who eat the sheep!

    Te Karma o eating grass is high! More than in this case MotherNature never lets anyone escape who leads souls astray due to selfishmotives.

    Everything that does not lead to God is imbued with egoism. Every-thing that does not draw us nearer to God is sin as well.

    Tere is no place in creation where you can come in contact withNaam, the Light and Sound Principle, unless it is a place being defi-nitely one o ruth. Only there where God wants to, the Shabda,the Light and Sound Principle, is distributed to all those who comein devotion and approach the Master-Power in Love. No matteri the Co-Worker on the Divine Plan has eight hunches like or

    instance Rishi Ashtavakra , be he old or young, tall or small, nomatter which country he is rom or to which outside region hebelongs, he still bestows this treasure generously on behal or withpermission o the Almighty.

    Propaganda, bad talks, spreading o lies and deamation are alwaysthe habits o those who are not much or not at all in contact with

    the Inner Master.

    Hazur Baba Sawan Singh once wrote:

    I these people do not want to give up their bad habits,why should we give up our good habits?

    Te typical arguments like:

    We are the majority, so we are right,

    do not count, the least in the case o Spiritual Development.

    Te Almighty says:

    Tere is the gun, run! We all are in a race, everyone hasto be the first.

    God has neither mother nor ather, neither brother nor sister. Hehas always been and will be orever, nothing can be added to Himnor can He be deprived o anything. Nobody can make His actionspleasant to Him nor can you do Him any harm. What God wantsthe soul to do is that the soul comes to Him alone without body,mind, intellect, bondage and amily, alone and or His sake. As soonas the soul has ulfilled that, it is the end o the journey. Te PerectMasters, their Gurumukhs and Khalsas serve only this high goal.

    Te common allacy o spiritual organisations is:

    Chapter II

    Te wasted reasure

    When we are deprived o our worldly goods by trickery and go

    bankrupt, we are sometimes able to recover and to gain these thingsback by work. In Spirituality this is not possible. Once we havepawned our souls to religious communities and spiritual or non-

    spiritual organisations, the harvest o human birth is lost orever.Te downall is very deep.

    Communities serve on principle only as roo or like-minded. Aslong as there is someone practical, well and good, we have to receiveand to achieve this state, i not it is better to be on our own.

    Please do not commit the sin to build up a wall consciously or un-consciously between the disciple and the Master-Power. No one issupposed to stand between the Master and the disciple.

    Disciples initiated by the Living Master o their time should notbelieve that they were lef alone afer His physical decease andchange the Master to be initiated again.

    Accordingly, Kirpal Singh says:

    Tis comes up to an adulteress who is used to seeingdifferent men at night.

    Te same is true or those who have come into contact with thecoming-into-expression God-Power, Guru-Power or Christ-Power

    at any place o this world through Gods Grace and have received

    Holy Initiation.

    A temporary disbelie caused by sways o the mind or misleadingby other communities o interest make the dear ones ofen believethat they would get more elsewhere, but the opposite is true.

    Tey spoil what they received, sometimes still hearing the Sound

    Current and seeing the Light o God or a longer term. Yet day byday it gets inevitably less and at first leads to the unconscious ex-tinction o the Light within, ollowed by the disbelie mentionedabove. Te same happens to Gods Voice and provokes the silencingo the Inner Music.

    It is like a huge barrel o water. It wont be refilled any more but

    drinking water will be taken out daily, someday it will be empty.

    I we wish to ask someone else than our Master Who en-lightened us about any matter, it means that to the samedegree we do not wholly trust in our Master, otherwisewe would consult our Master, wouldnt we?

    Kirpal Singh

    People who expect others to consult and question them beorethey make an independent decision in worldly or even spiritualquestions and those who give the motivation to do so, succumb toa big optical delusion caused by a undamental lack o meditationand the lack o independent communication with the Master-Power.

    In act these people demand o us to humiliate our Master.

    Kirpal Singh says:

    We have to do honest sel-practice to see how ar we havecome on the Inner Path and have gained dominance overmind and senses. We can use the mystical experiences opast Masters and the teaching of Teir practical lives to seei we have really uplifed ourselves to these extraordinaryheights. I this is not so, we can come humbly near to one

    who has done so and accept his help.

    o all those who were initiated by Kirpal Singh and His represen-tatives until 1974 one has to say:

    Please sit down between 2 and 5 oclock in the morning or HolyMeditation. Get in contact with all-pervading Naam as it was shown

    and assigned to you at the time o initiation. Practise what the LivingMaster has given you. Keep it and multiply it. Practise Bhajan andSimran with ull concentration at the centre o the eyes.

    Te Sound coming rom the right side is good and noble but onlythe Sound coming rom above gives you a lif up but it is onlyperceptible i your concentration is wholly and ully joined at the

    eye-centre.

    According to this, Kirpal Singh says:

    Be strictly on guard when doing practices. Pranas or breath-ing is not involved in any way. You should also have noconsciousness o the body whatsoever. Master-Power isover your head and will be extending all easible help.

    Listen perpetually to the right Sound, try to ocus your attention asKirpal Singh told you personally. Practise Light and Sound medi-tation separately, so as not to split your awareness.

    Tose who do so or two weeks by ulfilling all the rules will cer-tainly receive an experience o higher regions. Yet consider, thereis no shortcut on the Way to Spirituality.

    Christ says:

    Even souls who were initiated afer the physical departure o Kirpal

    the Eternal Home during their lie span. It is all a question o re-

    ceptivity.

    Kabir speaks in this field as ollows:

    My friend. Lay your hope on Him as long as you live, real-ise as long as you live, understand as long as you live, orlie is the place o redemption. I your bonds are not torn

    in this lie, which hope death will convey? It is nothingbut an empty dream that the soul will uniy with Himbecause she lef her body. I He can be ound now, He willbe found then as well. If not we only would go to live in thetown o death. I you are One with Him now, you will beit in uture. Dive down into ruth, know realise the rue

    Master, have confidence in the rue Name. Kabir says: It

    is the spirit o seeking who will help; I am the slave o thisspirit o seeking.

    For those who did not come into contact physically with KirpalSingh in this lie, one can say:

    Please do not worry, this power is always here. Many people stillmeet this Power within today and are led to His disciples to receiveHoly Initiation. Competent people always lay stress on now andnot on tomorrow.

    No washerman will say, Im not going to wash your laundry, it istoo dirty. He will wash it kindly until it is clean, this is the criteria

    Te competent Co-Workers on the Divine Plan act in the same way,

    they will not say tomorrow, or afer tomorrow, but they will ut theywill grant a contact with the coming-into-expression Power here,now and today, that is Naam, Kalma, Akash Bani or the Holy Wordwhich is revealed by the Light and the Voice o God, the SoundCurrent.

    Why are outside places so important or many people?

    Because their Tird Eye is not opened. Would it be opened, theywould realise that the body is the temple o God, that the wholecreation is the temple o God.

    It is said:

    Te wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound,but you do not know where it comes rom or where it

    goes.

    Kirpal Singh speaks:

    It has ofen been the praxis o the ancient Masters togive experience o the Holy Initiation and competent in-structions to a selected circle o disciples who first wereconfronted with inconceivable hassles as an assay for theirearnestness and their faith in the Guru. But in the presentage, the Kali Yuga, man is very weak and the Master isall the more affectionate. He generously gives to all, who

    are thirsty or a gleam o the liberating ruth.

    Te dear seekers afer ruth should understand that the disciples

    who ollow these exercises do it in His name alone. All worldwidediscussions on who is acting and who is the disciple in the making(Like: He or she is standing there. He or she has reached this orthat stage etc.) are nonsense and do not lead to a helpul result orthe suffering human race. On the contrary, it is an irrevocable losso time or the respective seekers afer ruth.

    He who sees the ruth knows that there is only One doer. In com-munity with these kind o personalities seekers afer ruth willautomatically come in contact with the Light and Sound Principle.God cannot help but taking influence. When we sit next to an oven,we will eel the warmth. Otherwise it is impossible to receive thesetwo aspects o God.

    Kirpal Singh says:

    When the astral body o a man is completely clean andpure as it is the case o one in some millions, all otherellow-beings in his surroundings eel good and relievedrom the burdens o this world while sitting next to thisman. Tis is but natural. Having the rare privilege omeeting such a man whose causal body is clean and pureas it is the case o one in numbers o millions, we will getto hear the Holy Sound Current in his presence.

    Tis is an immutable and unlimitedly working law since the be-ginning.

    Chapter III

    God Himself is the Greatest Wonder in Universe

    It is in the nature o the cause that ignorance is widely spread andsome circles cannot help mocking and jeering at the Real Experienceo the seekers afer ruth or sometimes they even denounce it inpublic to veil their own incapability in this important and sublime

    field, Sant Mat.

    Kirpal Singh spoke urthermore:

    ruth is always created and disseminated in a complicatedway by those who dont have any Inner Experience anymore. Tey tell the seekers afer ruth: You will only get

    a contact with Naam afer ulfilling this or that. Terebythey screw the intellectual demands and veils higher andhigher. But ruth is so simple! If you could see how simpleit is, you would cry.

    It is thus advisable and it is advised to go away in silence aferthe initiation, to kindly serve ones ellow-beings without uttering

    anything on the personal experience neither in public nor in so-called small, confident groups. It is better to ulfil ones daily me-ditation, to attend Satsang as ofen as possible and to cling to therules, which were established in the beginning o time. Te successwill arise immediately.

    A rue Adept o mysticism needs no relics, worldly concessions

    and acknowledgement o others, he is independent here and there.

    Ofen some time passes until the Power appears outside again, this

    has ofen been like that in the past and will be in uture like that,too. Te world is never without these Conscious Co-Workers on theDivine Plan, the adepts o mysticism. Miracles and the like are notshown as they were not shown in ormer days and challenges andprovocation intended to show them are met with indifference.

    For the greatest miracle in universe is God Himsel. Te highest

    necessity o man is to recognise Him and His highest desire is to re-veal Himsel to mankind. Many groups and organisations crownedthemselves at all times o history as the non plus ultra, but on closerexamination their sel-appointed claim or holiness does not bear upagainst an exact analysis. I the organisations were led in the rueUnity they proclaim so ervently and under Gods Real Fatherhood,they would utter no duality, exclusion, criticism, judgements and

    deamations.

    Altogether they would enjoy the Great Overflowing Mercy o theAlmighty on earth or His weak children who cry out or help andmanage the great exercise together, that is the uplif o the entirehuman race.

    Kirpal Singh says:

    Why are there so many religious groups and religions?Because they dont see; i they would see, they all wouldsay the same.

    Te succession o Kirpal Singh has been discussed or many years.It has been abused intellectually and by selfish endeavours andactions.

    Yet He would like to see each one o us as ambassadors o ruth,

    everyone according to his own honest capacity. Te work o every-one is the burdened lie, which was destined by God. Te Unity oMan is a necessary goal or everyone, to realise that we all are One,no matter i West, East, North or South, we are already One.

    Creating two-ness by proclamations as:

    Not you, only us,

    Chapter IV

    We are all One

    Te adepts o mysticism do not want to gather masses o people butrather want to help the single seeker afer ruth being on the wayo all mankind to reach the rue Home o everyone, Sach Kand.

    Tey consider mankind as a great procession o God.

    Kirpal Singh made the ollowing states at the Unity of Man Conferencein 1974:

    What I am telling you is nothing new. I would like to askyou to spread everything you heard, everywhere you go.Shout it rom the roos that peace and happiness come

    down to earth. I am praying to God and you are prayingwith me that He gives us His special Mercy and preparesus to receive a first-hand experience o the ruth. TeIdeal standing in ront o us runs:

    We are all One.

    Furthermore He stressed in His last circle letter to His disciples,15 May 1974:

    It would be prudent to clariy that the campaign o Unityo Man has to be carried out above the level o religionswithout in any way affecting any religious or social orders.It has to obtain in practice the blessings and support o

    all those who believe in the Gospel o Unity o Man, and

    could give it strength by taking this Gospel to every human

    heart around them and convincing them o the need oits acceptance in daily lie. It will neither be tagged withRuhani Satsang1nor with any other similar organisati-on2. Te enthusiasm o its admirers will be the real orceworking behind the campaign.

    Kirpal Singh says:

    When the moral depraves, the Divine Grace increases tomore opulence to the general benefit o the masses. o

    grant an Inner first-hand experience perhaps is the onlytouch-stone to discriminate the wheat rom the chaff, theperect rom the imperect masters o which the world isbrimull.

    1 Ruhani Satsang was the Spiritual Platform by which Kirpal Singh taught

    the broad population of the world the unity and the immutable Truth

    according to Baba Sawan Singhs rules and His stated wish during His

    physical stay on earth.

    2 The many different groups, organisations and associations acting world

    wide and being founded and registerated in the name of Kirpal Singh

    after his physical departure do not correspond with campaign of theUnity of Man described and wanted by Kirpal Singh. The campaign of the

    Unity of Man wanted and intended by Kirpal Singh has no organizational

    or associational structure as described in the circular letter above. This

    campaign of the Unity of Man is not dependent on a patronage or orga-

    nisation with the same name or different names, any imperfect Master

    or on anyone at all. So it is clear that not only Ruhani Satsang does not

    have the patronage for this campaign but also Kirpal Singh did not trust

    any other organisation of whatever nature with this task and He also didnot wish to do this.

    All were permitted to see You in the orm o their Guruo the respective time strolling on earth, all this I neverhad in this lie.

    Entering this world through Ty hands, born as Ty disciple,carried by Tee.

    Born as a sinner, I spend the time in the pang o yearningor Tee in Kal Desh. Oh Kirpal! Rescue all!

    In hardship and distress appears Gobind, yet is unable tobe o help or me. Agam has no ointment or my sorrow.

    My Ishit Guru Tou were. What a joy to see this! Already

    once we have been together and yet this time well becomeOne!

    In order to abate the agony, I distribute it to all Ty chil-dren.

    Te pangs for Tee Kirpal should wane, oh what a wonder

    the case is converse.

    Ty Word lights up every part in us and Ty voice is themusic in our brow.

    Each one may hear It, destined by Tee. May all becomeTy ambassadors!

    Kirpal Singh asked His Master Hazur Sawan Singh, why He ex-plained everything to the people at the first meeting and i it wasnot better to lay open the things step by step.

    Hazur Sawan Singh answered:

    Once there was a disciple who had reached the secondand third stage, but his Master lef this world, so thesestages naturally were the be-all and end-all to the disciple.Another disciple came up to the second stage, the samething happened, or this disciple the second stage wasthe be-all and end-all afer the decease o his Master.Another one had joyully reached the first stage when his

    Master lef this world, or him this stage was the highest.

    It is thus better to explain everything directly, or even in

    case the disciple never meets his Master again in physicalshape, he would still know where he stands.

    Tis is the reason or the revelation these days. Receptivity needsno words. When it is cold, it is not necessary to explain that tosomebody, we eel the coldness or ourselves; when it is warm, weeel the warmth without explication. Te Master-Power works

    in the same way: Once the disciple is accepted there is no needor many words, or the development happens without words, bytransmission alone.

    Excerpt from the book GodmanChapter I, Guru: What He is

    Whatever we say o Him, we perorce do so at an intellectual level,which has a very narrow and limited scope. All our efforts in thisdirection are bound to discredit Him rather than to give Him anycredit.

    Guru Arjan, thereore, says:

    Tou art a King, and I address Tee as an Elder-Man; farrom doing any honour to Tee, I bring Tee discredit.

    Te highest and subtlest intellect attempting to describe Him is justlike a toddler standing beore his mother and saying, Oh darling,

    I know you! How much can he know o his parent when he doesnot know anything o himsel? His sweet lisping words cannot doany justice to the deep motherly love and affection that lies in herbosom. We too cannot sing the glories o the Master, or we cannotknow, at the bar o the intellect, Him who is beyond all barriersand limitations.

    Blessed indeed are we, or Master-Souls, as and when Tey do ap-pear, at times tell us o Temselves. It is rom Teir rare utterancesthat we can know something o Teir greatness and o the potentialPower that works through Tem.

    In innumerable little ways, in parables and otherwise, Tey tell uso what Tey are, what is Teir mission, rom where Tey comeand how Tey carry out Gods Plan.

    It would be advisable or us to go to Tem and listen to what Tey

    have to say about Temselves.____________

    Criticism against the imperect masters and their appendage odisciples is not recommendable. We all are in the make and it hasno use or the personal progress to cover others with torrents odisdain, hatred and mockery in the perspective o the small sel.Tis rather hinders the own progress.

    So let us meditate in His Name and enjoy His kindness together.

    In the Gurbani it is said:

    Let us be connected in the Name o the Lord, because weare not separated rom Him.

    With regard or you all

    Editorial Appendix

    Te Service of ones Fellow Human Beings

    Partial Excerpts from Kirpals Scriptures

    Reading o books is a good thing. But their purpose is that oneshould mould his lie so that the good about which one reads be-comes a part o his lie.

    *****

    I the disciple will only learn to love, all other things will ollow othemselves.

    *****

    Te road to perection lies in walking rather than in talking andsuch a thing as judging others or the Master rom ones own viewpoint or understanding gained so ar, is hardly justified or properor anyone. All are on the road to Perection and it is not wise oranyone to find ault with others.

    *****

    Te noblest service one can render in this world is to help peopletread on their way to their rue Eternal Home. No financial servicewould be too great or assisting such a noble cause. But it shouldalways be loving and spontaneous. No compulsion, no taxation,no impositions.

    *****

    Tose who stray away just harm their own interests, and it is un-ortunate that one may be led away by catchwords and propaganda.In the absence o a Live Force deterioration and stagnation sets inand rantic efforts are always made by the interested parties to try

    to carry on their work.

    *****

    It is unortunate that interested people are plying the trade o man-hunting and lead the true seekers astray by their wild propagandaand nearious activities to achieve their own end.

    It is indeed a great service to make a dreary child ind its way to theFather and contrarily it is the height o sin and stupidity to preventone going the right way and to misguide him.

    *****

    Spirituality is the highest Goal in mans lie and it is also the mostdifficult. Only those who are really in search o the ruth shouldventure orth to tread on this Path.

    As such we are brothers o all creatures, o plants obirds and animals. So the flowers and trees sparrowsand doves are as members o our own order.
