Bhakta Leela Amrut by Das Ganu Maharaj

[Guest guest]

One who reads a lot of holy books and recites a number of good sentences but

cannot purify his heart is also bound. Such a person can not get absolution,

he cannot keep good company and ultimately, he goes to Hell to suffer a lot.

 

Now I will explain to you the properties of a person who is desirous of

absolution (Mumukshu). You must listen to me carefully with faith. One who

is sick with the state of being bound, one who knows good from the bad and

is keen on meeting with the Lord is a Seeker (Mumukshu).

 

If a person repents his past deeds can attain absolution even though he was

a sinner. A person who is happy with his destined state, one who is afraid

of sins, one who does not lie is a seeker. One who is sincere to God, who is

polite to holymen and who follows the path of morality is a seeker. One who

does not leave good company, even for a moment and whose tongue is busy with

the name of Hari is a Follower (Sadhaka).

 

One who realizes that the worldly desires are poisonous, and who tries,

every day to understand the Adhyatma Vidhyas is a follower. One who prays to

the Lord in solitude should be called a follower. One who is overpowered

with joy while listening to the name and acts of the Lord is a follower. One

who does not allow the Lord to escape from his mind and the one who serves

the holymen without caring for his own vanity is a follower.

 

One who considers praise and slander, honour and insult, people and the Lord

same, is called a Siddha. One who is not affected by the six enemies, one

who is through with his wishes, who considers others as saints, who has no

place for suspicion or desire, who has no sense of duality is a Siddha. A

Siddha knows that he is the Bramhan. He does not care for the body. He is

devoid of pleasure and pain.
