Boundaries of Worship

Jeev humari jaati hai, Maanav Dharm humaara | Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Isaai, Dharm nahin koi nyaara ||

Our Race is Living being, Mankind is our Religion | Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian, there is no separate Religion ||

Dear Devotees,

Around five thousand years ago, there were no distinct religions like Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism, or Christianity. The only religion was humanity—Mankind. Everyone shared this one universal religion. However, with the advent of Kalyug, differences emerged among us. This division arose because religious family (kul) gurus obscured the truths in the scriptures, whether due to selfishness or superficial displays. Consequently, the single Mankind religion splintered into four major religions and numerous sects, leading to inevitable differences. Despite this, we all acknowledge that there is only one Supreme Being—Prabhu, Bhagwan, Ram, Allah, Rab, God, Khuda, Parmeshwar—different names in different languages, but representing the same divine entity. If we all accept that the Master is one, why do we have different religious communities?

Koi kahae humaara Ram bada hai, koi kahe khudaai re
Koi kahae humaara Isamaseeh bada hai, ye baata rahe lagaai re

It is absolutely correct that everyone’s Master—Rab, Khuda, Allah, God, Ram, Parmeshwar—is one and the same, whose actual name is Kabir. He resides in Satlok/Satdhaam/Sachchkhand in a visible, human-like form. However, Hindus claim that their Ram is supreme, Muslims say their Allah is supreme, Christians proclaim the greatness of Jesus Christ, and Sikhs venerate Guru Nanak Ji as the greatest. They argue as if four innocent children are claiming their father is the best, not realizing they all share the same father. Today, our human society is fighting like these ignorant children.

All our religious texts and scriptures glorify that one Master—Prabhu, Rab, Khuda, Allah, Ram, Sahib, God, Parmeshwar. They clearly state His name: Lord Kabir, who resides in a visible human-like form in Satlok.

Ved, Gita, Quran, Bible, and Guru Granth Sahib all convey similar messages. In Yajurved Chapter 5 Verse 32, Samved Mantra 1400 and 822, Atharvaved Kaand 4 Anuvaak 1 Verse 7, and Rigved Mandal 1 Chapter 1 Sukt 11 Verse 4, it is written that Supreme God is Kabir, who resides in Satlok in a human-like form. Gita, summarizing the Vedas, also points to Kabir as the Supreme God in Chapter 15 Verse 16-17; Chapter 18 Verse 46, 62; Chapter 8 Verse 8-10, 22; and Chapter 15 Verse 1, 2, 4. Shri Guru Granth Sahib, on pages 24 and 721, sings the glory of God Kabir. Both the Quran and Bible convey the same message, highlighting Allah Kabir's creation and governance. In Quran Sharif, Surat Furqani 25:52-59, it is mentioned that Kabir Allah created nature in six days and rested on the seventh in Satlok. This aligns with the Bible's 'Genesis' account of creation in seven days (1:20-2:5).

The essence of all saints and scriptures is that one should receive the true naam (mantra) from a Purna Guru (Complete Guru) who possesses the authority to give the three naams. This is essential to escape the cycle of birth and death. Our goal is to free you from Kaal's prison and help you attain Satlok, the realm of our original Master, Kavir Dev (God Kabir). Kavir Dev has stated that the merit (punya) of guiding someone away from Kaal's worship to a Complete Guru and getting them the true naam is immense, comparable to saving countless beings from slaughter. Misguided by false gurus, innocent humans endure the suffering of 8.4 million births due to worship that contradicts the scriptures. However, when a soul comes under the refuge of Kavir Dev through a Complete Guru and receives the true naam, the cycle of birth and death ends, leading to supreme peace in Satlok.

Nowadays, many gurus focus on increasing their number of disciples to boost their status. They learn a few stories and claim to give naam (the way of worship), trapping innocent souls in Kaal's snare. Those who give and receive naam-updesh (initiation) that contradicts the scriptures are destined for hell and will suffer there. This is stated in the Gita, Vedas, and other holy texts. To illustrate this, let me share a short story.

Only an appointed Guru can narrate a Katha

Story of King Parikshit

Once, it was foretold that King Parikshit would die from a snake bite on the seventh day. To prepare him, everyone decided to have the tale of Shrimad Bhagvat Sudha Sagar narrated to him, hoping to detach him from worldly concerns and engross him in thoughts of God. It was believed that one's final thoughts at death determine their next state of being. However, no one was deemed suitable to narrate the tale. Even Maharishi Ved Vyaas Ji, the author of the Bhagvat, knew he lacked the capability and feared ruining the king's life and incurring sin. Therefore, no one dared to narrate the tale. Eventually, Sukhdev Ji was called from Swarg (heaven) to narrate the Bhagvat, and King Parikshit became detached and went to heaven.

After enjoying the pleasures in heaven, King Parikshit will return to hell and then revolve through 84 lakh births. This is a strict rule, which cannot be bypassed without the guidance of a complete guru of the three loks (worlds).

Similarly, when a Prime Minister is about to visit an area, there are often a few orators, singers, and musicians who entertain and impress the audience with their talents. However, they cannot implement any actual changes. When the Prime Minister arrives, he makes a few brief statements, such as ordering the construction of an international college in Agra or a university in Chandigarh. His words carry weight, and the next day, work begins on his directives. If an ordinary person made the same statements, it would be meaningless because they lack the authority. For the Prime Minister, these tasks are straightforward due to his power.

To verify these facts, read the sacred speeches mentioned below, reflect deeply, and obtain guru mantra as soon as possible.

To narrate a scriptural tale (katha) and give spiritual instruction (naam updesh) is not a trivial task. It isn't simply holding a book and saying, "Let me do a katha, recite the Ramayan, the Gita, or the Granth Sahib, conduct a satsang, and give naam." Only a complete saint has the authority to do katha and give spiritual instruction, as only they have power in their words, like Sukhdev did.

For example, if someone praises the sweetness and appeal of a mango in a satsang, and a listener then asks for a mango, the person conducting the satsang might say, "I don't have a mango, nor do I know where you can find one. Mango is formless and invisible." The listener would understandably be frustrated, saying, "If you don't have a mango, don't know where to find one, and claim it is formless, why are you speaking about it?"

The point is, without an authoritative person, both those who conduct katha and those who hear it are misled and end up in spiritual ruin.

An unauthorised Guru carries the burden of their disciples eternally

If a person becomes a guru and makes disciples, understand that they are taking on a significant burden. According to God's rule, a guru must keep reincarnating until their disciple attains salvation. Complete saints sometimes perform divine plays (leela) to rid themselves of unworthy disciples by causing the ignorant ones to develop hatred towards the guru. For example, when Lord Kabir appeared in Kashi, 64 lakh individuals became his disciples. To test them, Lord Kabir started visiting a famous prostitute in Kashi to impart spiritual knowledge. Seeing this, the disciples developed hatred towards their Guru and lost faith, except for two who remained devoted.

Evidence is found in the speech of Satguru Garibdas Ji Maharaj:

We simply urge you to proceed with caution.

How should one acquire Naam Mantra to attain Liberation

In Samved's Verse 822, it is explained that a living being will attain liberation through three naams: the first is 'Om', the second is Satnaam (Tat), and the third is Saarnaam (Sat). Gita also provides this evidence with the terms Om-Tat-Sat, and Shri Guru Granth Sahib similarly points towards the jaap of this very Satnaam. The repetition of "Satnaam-Satnaam" is not the naam itself but an indication towards the true naam, which includes Saarnaam. The Om mantra alone is insufficient. These three naam mantras and the authority to impart them have been granted to me (Sant Rampal Ji) by my venerable Gurudev Swami Ramdevanand Ji Maharaj, a lineage that traces back to Lord Kabir. First, you must listen to the satsang and serve, thereby preparing your field of bhakti.

After preparing your field, you must sow the seed. Liberation cannot be achieved merely by studying scriptures such as the speeches of Lord Kabir, the Vedas, Gita, Puran, Quran, or the teachings of saints like Dharmdas Ji.

If one does not receive naam mantra, then-

If the seed of naam is not sown, then the preparation of the soul is futile. The purpose of this is to emphasize that gaining knowledge is essential, but taking naam-updesh from a Complete Guru, akin to sowing the seed, is equally crucial. The jaap of the naam must be the same as that practiced by Guru Nanak Ji, Garibdas Ji, and Dharmdas Ji. A living being cannot achieve liberation through any other naam except these.

Therefore, you should all take naam-updesh (initiation) and begin accumulating your wealth of bhakti, while also spreading this message to others. The sooner, the better, as no one knows when their time will come. Even Guru Nanak Dev Ji says:

Kabir Sahib says -

A guru who does not give Saarnaam and Saarshabd, or who does not have the authority from his guru to give these naams, leads both himself and his disciples to hell. Such a guru is considered an enemy of God and a traitor, who will be hung upside-down in the court of God.

False notion about changing Guru

Jhoothe guru ke paksh ko, tajat na keejae vaari

A false notion has been spread by fake gurus that once you acquire a guru, you should never change to another. Think of a guru as a doctor who cures the disease of birth and death. If one doctor cannot cure your illness, you would seek another, better doctor. Similarly, if a guru cannot guide you to complete salvation, you should seek a more capable guru. For example, Dharmdas Ji initially had Shri Roopdas Ji as his guru. However, upon realizing that Roopdas Ji could not provide complete salvation, he abandoned him and made Purna Brahm Supreme God SatPurush Kabir his guru, ultimately attaining liberation in Satlok. Likewise, an incomplete guru should be abandoned immediately.

Sacred speech about the magnificence of Guru and Naam

Which Ram's (God's) Naam (Mantra) Should Be Chanted?

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 15 Verse 16

Translation: In this world, there are two types of Gods, Perishable and Imperishable , and the bodies of all the living beings are said to be perishable and the soul, imperishable.

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 15 Verse 17 

Translation: The Supreme God is, however, someone else, who by entering into the three loks, sustains everyone and is called as Eternal Supreme God.
