Guruji, “How can one realize God?”

Om SathGuru Sri Seshadri Swamigal Thiruvadikkae


Sishya: Guruji, ‘How can one realize God?’

Guru: Under the spell of God’s maya, man forgets his true nature. He forgets that he is heir to the infinite glories of his Father. This divine maya is made of three gunas. And all three are robbers; for they rob man of all his treasures and make him forget his true nature. The three gunas are Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas. Of these, Sattva alone points the way to God. But even Sattva is like the last step of the stairs. Next to it is the roof. The Supreme Brahman (Lord of the Universe) is man’s own abode. One can’t attain the knowledge of Para – Brahma unless one transcends three gunas.

By directing your love to HIM and constantly reasoning that God alone is real and the world illusory. The aswattha tree alone is permanent; its fruit is transitory.

The Sufi understanding -1

    Om Sathguru Shri Seshadri Swamigal Thiruvadikkae

A Mast and a Salik on the sixth plane are both in marifat, God-illumined, God-knowing; but a mast and a Salik when entering the seventh plane are both majzoobs. This means that even a Salik, when he enters the seventh plane, is over powered. The word majoobs means, literally, one who is under Jazb, and although the jazb of all planes, up to and including the sixth plane, is limited, on the seventh plane it is unlimited and Divine. The Sufi term of God-merged is majoob Allah, for a majoob is the only one who is completely overpowered by jazb.

When a rahrav enters the seventh plane he takes duality into unity and when he comes down again he brings unity into duality.

Now, if a majoob of the seventh plane comes down to normal consciousness, he becomes one of the three things:

1. A Salik – e – Kamil or Jivanmukta, who has no circle and no duty, but can make a few souls spiritually like himself.

2. A Salik – e – akmal, who establishes himself in the work of God, and has no circle, but has duty. Although he has no circle he can make a few souls spiritually like himself.

3. A Salik – e – mukammil or qutub, who has duty and a circle, and can make as many souls as he wishes spiritually like himself.

One should not assume that every advanced soul reaches this great goal of becoming merged in God, and to illustrate the utter rarity of God-realization.
