how fortunate we are to meet a sant

Astpadi 13, by Dassan Dass Ji

 

"When we meet a Sant Maha Purakh in our life it is because we are destined to meet them due to our previously accumulated Punn Karams – Sat Karams, "Purab janam ankur jab pargatey taa bheteyo purakh rasik bairaagee."  Rasik (the one who enjoys Ik Ras - Amrit) Bairaagee (free from Maya) is a Sant.  A Puran Sant is the one who has gone beyond Maya – "Trihu gun tey parey."  Many people misinterpret the Shabad Bairaagee.  It means Mukt (free) from Raag.  And Raag means attachment, the Moh Maya.  So the person who has won over Maya completely becomes a Purakh Bairaagee, a Puran Sant.  It takes the hard work of many lives to collect enough Punn Karams to bring our self to that level when we become destined to meet a Puran Sant Maha Purakh.  Darshans of such a Maha Purakh are achieved with great good fortune.  It is a matter of very good fortune to be able to meet such a Maha Purakh.  When we do meet them we should ask for the GurParsaad of Naam, Naam Ki Kamai, Puran Bandgi and Seva - Parupkaar and Maha Parupkaar. 

Many people are satisfied just when they get the GurParsaad of Naam.  Then they stop praying for Naam Simran, Naam Ki Kamai, Puran Bandgi and Seva – Parupkaar and Maha Parupkaar.  That is why they don't make much progress on the path of spirituality.  Only a few get the GurParsaad of Naam, Naam Simran, Naam Ki Kamai, Puran Bandgi and Seva – Parupkaar and Maha Parupkaar.  This enables them to go higher in spirituality.  So please make a note here to pray for the GurParsaad of Naam, Naam Simran, Samadhi, Puran Bandgi and Seva – Parupkaar and Maha Parupkaar to meet our objective of achieving the Jivan Mukti."
