Jammu, Ausgust 24: Satguru Madhu Param Hans Ji Maharaj, the spiritual head of Sahib Bandgi panth, while throwing light on the significance of guru at Sant Ashram, Ranjri (Samba) said that there is a great difference between a guru & a satguru.
There has been no mention of the word Satguru before Sahib Kabir. Only the word guru was prevalent. So, should we take the use of this word satguru as an opposing one to that of the word guru.
He denied it to be like that. Earlier, the gurus talked about 3 lokas alone. Also, the word guru is to be found in the Sagun as well as the Nirgun forms of worship.
It is only the saints who made use of the word Satguru. In the Sagun as well as the Nirgun, the guru holds a high status but he simply shows the path of meditation & salvation & doesn’t take the responsibility of taking the disciples across the worldly ocean.
“The disciples have to make their own earnings to do so. So to say, the guru simply acts as a guide. A satguru, on the other hand, doesn’t ask to make any earnings. He himself takes across the worldly ocean,” it was felt in the discourse.
Describing that great difference between the two is there, Sahib Kabir says that the satguru himself will create spiritual awakening within one & will enable one to realize the power of God within.
Also to seek the truth one will have to make a search for the satguru. In Sagun as well as Nirgun kinds of worship a guru can’t help the disciples attain permanent salvation. This is because the path of worship shown by him will be limited to 3 lokas & Niranjan alone. Moreover, the Nam blessed by the guru is not the soundless sound. It is the Nam that has to be recited by the mouth. As it falls within the limit of 52 letters, so its recitation can’t help jiva reach Amarlok.
“No doubt, it can help to attain heaven, Pitar lok, Niranjan lok etc & salvation for a brief period but one has to take birth again after reaping the reward of noble deeds,” it said.
