Sacred Bhandara: Recalling Guru Bachans {55.}
****
Radhasoami!
****
Difference between Gurumukh and Manmukh.
****
“Gurumukh har ek ke saath sachhayi se barathta hai aur burayi ki baathon se bachta hai aur kisi ko dhokha nahin detha hai aur jo kaam karta hai Satguru ke liye aur Unki Daya ke bharose par karta hai.
Manmukh chaturayi aur kapat se barathta hai aur apne matlab ke liye auron ko dhokha detha hai, apni buddhi aur chaturayi ka bharosa rakhta hai aur apne aap ko pragat karna chahta hai.”
---- Param Purusha Puran Dhani Huzur Soami Ji Maharaj;
The Holy Sar Bachan {Nasr}; No. 262:1, Page 192.
****
Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:
“The Gurumukh {Guru-oriented} conducts himself honestly with everyone and guards against bad things and doesn’t deceive anyone, and whatever he does, he does for the Satguru, and remaining dependent on His Grace.
The Manmukh {ego-driven} conducts himself with insincerity and cleverness, and deceives others for his own interests, banks on his own intelligence and cleverness, and wants to project his own self.”

Grace Works, If You Deserve. {55.}
****
Radhasoami!
The sun smiles down on earth,
at its best and its worst,
with “equality”, making no distinction whatsoever.
However, the fertile soil grows plants and flowers,
while the barren deserts remain lifeless.
So, soil differences do matter crucially,
despite the same sunrays grounds receive.
The teacher explains a subject
to a class teeming with unruly students.
Most fail to understand the essentials,
a few grasp its basics,
while the one might even master it.
The difference lies not with the teacher,
but in the desire, attention, receptivity, intelligence,
& ability among the students.
Likewise, in the Satsang Bhawan,
hundreds of Satsangis behold the Guru’s Darshan,
and listen to the Satsang.
However, they derive varying benefit from it.
“Prem sahit Guru Daras se /
Mitey sakal jiva khed.”
That is, if performed with love,
Darshan can rid you of
all your problems and anxieties.
So, let’s realize that it is
up to us individually
to deserve Grace from the Satguru.
His Grace exists, and will work,
like the sunrays on rich soil,
and the teacher’s words with an earnest student,
if we are ready and willing
to deserve it rightly.
Radhasoami!
