Ideology

Aim of human life

********
Realisation of God
Role of True Master
Peace Within
Universal Brotherhood
Peaceful Co - existence
Devotion
************

The primary objective of human life is God Realization  which leads to Self Realization .
Human Life is an opportunity to awaken ourselves out
of dream of Illusion and realize the real self which is
part of continuum – the fact that my existence is false
and that I do not exist is true .
The realisation of God takes into its fold the realisation
of Self in such a manner that the latter ceases to be
significant, merges its entity with the Supreme entity ,
i . e . God . The spark becomes part of the Flame , the
drop ’s journey comes to an end after it is immersed in
the Ocean .
Once God is realised by Soul , once it discovers the
Truth and is face to face with it , righteousness , purity
and nobleness take on, rather drive away all the false
and evil forces dominating human life hitherto .
The darkness of ignorance having automatically gone
on the advent of Divine Light , ill - will gives place to
goodwill, hatred to love, discord to tolerance and so
on . All apprehensions and delusions disappear . The life
becomes as clean, pure and sublime as Divinity itself.

*********

After GOD ’ s realization, we operate at level of continuity
that exists throughout in various forms of Life and
hence we see a common thread across all diversity . It
is this understanding that drives the Mission and the
followers to perform actions that ensure Peaceful co-
existence and not be fanatics.

Unity Vs Uniformity

The need is not to dwell in uniformity but to able to
exist with diverse styles and bring synergy in what we
do together . Each individual is unique as created by
divinity, it would be against divine nature if we force
individuals to think and do alike. We should be able to
think differently and yet leverage the formless link to
bring synergy and prosperity .

*********

Realization of God

Knowing about God is a knowledge and knowing God
is Realisation of God as “Knowing about something ” is
different from “knowing something ”.
Whereas FORM is manifestation of Maya , GOD is
FORMLESS that never changes - Nirankar – Changeless
in the changing world - He is omnipresent , omnipotent ,
omniscient and eternal .
God can only be realized with the blessing of living true
master.
GOD is the continuum and the world is a super-
imposition on this never - changing substratum . We, as
limited by five senses , miss the substrate and see what
grows over it . Just like we attempt to see SPACE – we
see everything – moon , stars , birds and sky; but fail to
see the SPACE .
However our mental ability can make us interpret
SPACE and we all see it without seeing it . GOD can be
realized in a similar manner. This requires an
understanding beyond the five senses , however.

************

Peaceful Co - existence

The mission deals with the spirit in man and lays
stress on the role of the individual . The nations of
world are all composed of individuals, and it is the
interrelation and liaison of the individuals that go to
constitute the human society.
Ultimately , the unit of our family , nation or human
society is the individuation . And who is that individual ?
You and I .
Therefore, no power on earth can possibly fulfill the
slogan of ‘ world- peace’ and ‘ human- brotherhood ’
unless relationship between you and I , that is man and
man becomes sweet and smooth .
The fulcrum of every world problem, in reality lies in
our own minds and hearts. Far reaching results can
only be achieved by making a start at the nearest point
and that nearest point is our own self .
If individual is at peace, the world at large will
automatically be at peace .

*****************

Role of True Master

We can realize GOD with an evolved mind - mind that
has developed the capability to see the substrate over
which grows the matter.
Since this needs mental evolution to understand what
is beyond five senses , this process of mental
awakening cannot be documented and neither can be
spoken. This needs union with human personality who
himself is awakened .
He , who is awakened to this supreme consciousness ,
can take our mind beyond five senses to realize the
TRUTH. A TRUE MASTER does it instantly – by making
you experience his experience .
This does not need any religious practices . GOD ’ s
knowledge cannot have anything to do with any of
these; because GOD is so simple that we stumble over
its simplicity – TRUE master makes us experience this
simplicity .
We need to understand that GOD cannot be
complicated . GOD is simple and simple is divine.

***********

Devotion

Three aspects of devotion – Satsang , Sewa and
Sumiran
Devotion is not a means to know God , but having
known Him , it is a way of life for the devotee ever
expressing his heart felt gratitude for His bounties.
Such a devotion is not subjected to the limitations of
rituals, time or place . Knowledge of God is not the end ,
but the beginning of devotion .
A true disciple sees the Divine in all, and so is ever in
Satsang . His every action is dedicated to the Divine ,
turning it into Sewa. And he lives in a state of constant
awareness of Nirankar , making his every breath a
Simran.
Bliss and Joy , that emerges out of experiencing GOD ,
manifests in form of staying with enlightened ones,
serving all and remembering the Self .
All of this comes naturally; but yet needs to be forced
at times since Maya is too strong to make the true
understanding take a back seat .

(a ) Satsang (b ) Sewa ( c) Sumiran

SatsangGathering of devotees or enlightened beings is
known as satsang . In fact satsang actually means to
be joining with the truth . In the mission , it is believed
that although for practical reasons, satsang has been
given time and place for worshipers to gather the
spiritual perspective , yet one has the potential to live in
a state of satsang, which is beyond any man - made
constraints of time and place.

Sewa: The term is used to define the self- less service
of humanity without want for reward . This can be
achieved through many means and forms but behind
this voluntary service is the most important fact of
self - less intention , which counts.

Sumiran: Following God - knowledge ( Brahm Gyan ), the
True Master asks the devotee to remember God all the
time , everywhere and in all circumstances and thus
make it a part of his daily life , his normal behaviour .

Sumiran, usually spelt here as ‘Simran ’ , serves as
devotee’ s prayer also. It keeps his or her faith in God
and God - knowledge firm and steadfast .
It serves as the most convenient means to express the
devotee’ s love for God ( Bhakti) . Here the True Master
provides spiritual or divine support to Simran to make it
effective and fruitful for the devotee . It reads in Punjabi
as : “ Tu Hi Nirankar, Main Teri Sharan Haan, Mainoon
Baksh Lo” i . e. O’ Thou Formless One , I surrender to
Thee, Please forgive me.

******************

Peace Within

The realisation of God takes us to a state which is
described in spiritual jargon as SEHAJ . This is the state
of human mind where man does not feel elated on
finding something and pained on losing it . He does not
envy the more fortunate and frown at the less
fortunate fellow beings .
He is fully contented with what he has . In fact, he feels
grateful to the Supreme Donor , God , for whatever has
been bestowed on him - - physical strength , intellectual
ability and material wealth . Comfort lies in realizing
what HE IS and not by what he has .
He values the lasting peace and joy within that flows
from contentment more than any worldly possession.
This is attitude that the Mission seeks to promote
through spiritual enlightenment.
Peace is a natural outcome of GOD ’s realization. The
experience immediately changes our outlook - where
we start anchoring ourselves at supreme Self and not
at our body . This mental change makes us peaceful .
Just like the centre of a fan that does not rotate when
fan rotates .
If we are anchored right at centre of fan, we never
move – if we anchor at periphery of fan, we move with
fan. It is this anchoring at supreme self that makes us
observer and not observed – and peace is a natural
outcome – the unmoved Self .

Baba Buta Singh Ji Maharaj ( 1873 -1943 )

Author: Dinesh

"I sacrifice my all to the man who is eager,
within and without to realise God. "

Inclined towards God since childhood
The founder of the Sant Nirankari Mission ,
Baba Buta Singh Ji was born in the year 1873
at Village Hudwal , Distt. Kaimalpur (Pakistan )
in the family of Shri Bishan Singh Ji and Smt.
Mayawanti Ji . He had spiritual leaning from
the very childhood and had developed a
special aptitude for reciting Gurbani ( holy
verses from the Adi Granth ).
A good orator on Gurbani , he was equally
sincere and serious in understanding the
same . This trait helped paving his way to
reach and realise the Truth. It is said that
whenever he used to recite Gurbani or sing
the same , he would be so lost in it as to
forget even his physical self. His views and
concepts was so clear and strong that nobody
could utter even a single word to negate his
view- point.

Meeting True Master …his Satguru

On a day in 1913 , Baba Buta Singh was
singing at a congregation . With tears in his
eyes, he sang: Mohan ghar aavo , haun karon
jodariya ( O Lord, come home, I humbly
entreat.) .Those sitting in the congregation
were enjoying the delightful recitation . One
of them , Bhai Sahib Kahan Singh Ji, who was
also listening to Baba Buta Singh Ji with rapt
attention, noted the repetition of the above
line.

After the program , he could not resist
approaching Baba Buta Ji . He asked him
politely, " Bhai Buta Singh Ji , where is your
Mohan (Lord ) whom you want to meet ?" and
added hastily , “ First know Him, otherwise
your calling Him will have no effect. "
These words had a piercing effect on the
young Buta Singh Ji . He clearly understood
that the person did possess some spiritual
secret. He followed him for knowing the
Truth. Bhai Sahib Kahan Singh Ji initially tried
to put him off , but ultimately he had to yield
to the former's humility and strong urge and
finally revealed God knowledge to him.
At the time of receiving Brahm Gyan or God -
knowledge, Baba Buta Singh Ji was 40 years
old . For about 15 years he remained quiet ,
assimilating what he had come to know from
Bhai Sahib Kahan Singh Ji and comparing it
with the vast knowledge of Gurbani he had.
Thereafter Baba Buta Singh Ji started
revealing the Divine Secret to whosoever was
found interested and among his first few
disciples was Baba Avtar Singh Ji .
Baba Buta Singh Ji and his esteemed wife had
a very simple life . Being a staunch devotee of
God, Baba Buta Singh Ji would not like to
think of worldly requirements beyond what
was necessary for 'present '. He had a brief
stint in the Army. Later , he left the job and
adopted art of tattooing for livelihood which
was quiet adequate to maintain his family .
Meeting with Avtar Singh Ji – foundation of
Sant Nirankari Mission
The Sant Nirankari Mission had its formal
beginning on May 25 , 1929 , the day when
Baba Avtar Singh Ji received God -knowledge
from Baba Buta Singh Ji and joined him in
taking the spiritual light to as many people as
possible. The orthodox elements of the time
did resist them but indirectly served to make
the Mission known to more and more people .
One day the Master and his Disciple were
going to Village Latifal , the birth place of
Baba Avtar Singh Ji . From the Dhudial railway
station they had to walk on foot for about
four miles. Some critics from Dhudial ,
however , planned to kill them . So , they were
hiding on the way.
The sun had already set and there was
darkness all around. Baba Buta Singh Ji and
Baba Avtar Singh Ji , however , were so
engrossed in their conversation that they
took a different road . Naturally , their
opponents kept waiting for them in vain. This
convinced them of the spiritual power of
Baba Buta Singh Ji and the very next day they
all surrendered to him .
Baba Buta Singh Ji believed that the selfless
service to others is a seed for prosperity and
he wanted to see every disciple of his
prospering. One day he asked one of his
disciples to shell out some money for
offering food to saints. Baba Avtar Singh Ji
saw this and said, “ Baba Ji , you could have
told me. Why did you ask for money from
the other person ? He may start
misunderstanding you.” Baba Ji , however ,
replied, “Bhai Avtar Singh! Do you want to
usurp the entire wealth of the world?
Don’t you think Satguru is a always a giver
and not a beggar . I want that every disciple
may prosper . None should suffer from
material wants. That is why I ask them to
contribute something towards service of
others. This will prove a seed for their
prosperity ”. Baba Avtar Singh Ji understood
what the Master wanted to teach and
thereafter never objected to such an act
again.
The last Journey
It is said that Baba Buta Singh Ji knew about
his end. In 1943 , he was convalescing at a
popular tourist resort , Koh Murree (now in
Pakistan) . Some of his disciples were looking
after him. He asked Baba Avtar Singh Ji to
call other disciples also. When most of the
disciples assembled , Baba Buta Singh Ji asked
Baba Avtar Singh Ji to arrange for some white
sheets, etc . normally required at the time of
funeral.
After everything was arranged, he took out
his white Dupatta i .e . scarf and put it round
the neck of Baba Avtar Singh Ji and bowed at
his feet. All other disciples understood that
he was nominating Baba Avtar Singh Ji as his
successor to head the Mission . He told Baba
Avtar Singh Ji that white Dupatta is not a sign
of decoration; it is a symbol of
responsibility. It is like a necklace of razors.
The razors may not harm so long as the neck
is straight. What he meant was that he
should move straight on the path of the
Truth without permitting his mind to waver .
All the disciples bowed at the feet of Baba
Avtar Singh Ji and thus accepted him as their
Spiritual Master .
Moments later , Baba Buta Singh breathed his
last. His body was taken on its last journey in
a procession led by Military Band . And this
closed the first chapter of the history of the
Sant Nirankari Mission .
