The Key to God

“Wealthy is he who does good deeds, not he who has material wealth” – Mahraz Darshan Das

LOVE AND TRUTH are two virtues which will release you from suffering. But how can you love God or form a relationship with Him if you have not seen Him?

The soul beseeches God because it realises that its suffering is entirely due to the material veil that the mind has woven around it. It pleads for God’s blessing because in its present state it cannot fathom His glory.

Masters earnestly stress that union with God is only possible while living in this human form, through love and Naam. Naam is a treasure or priceless jewel that you can only receive from a Master. Yet you preoccupy yourself with material wealth. In order to really understand the true value of God, you will need to go to a true appraiser.

Naam cannot be purchased with wealth. It is a treasure which cannot be described in writing or spoken in words. Naam resounds continuously within the human body 24 hours a day. You will only gain knowledge and access to this treasure via a living Master. This knowledge is a key to God's house.

Learn not to immerse yourselves in worldly desires and aspirations because when you do, your existence becomes worthless. Know and live according to God’s will.

His will and knowledge is only truly known and accepted by a Master. Unlike a Master, man is prone to shifting the blame onto God for his misfortune. But Masters happily accept God’s will.

Masters do not come to divide, cause strife, nor create communes or nations. They come to free you of your burden. When you accept his teachings, his truth, then you will learn to overcome. Truth begets truth, if one is true he will encourage others to be true.

It is extremely difficult to receive the shelter of a Master, contrary to performing rituals, bathing in holy waters, prayers and the like. They have no value. When God is pleased, He will bring you into the congregation of a Master.

God exists within you, and can be attainable by loving His creation and through forming true and loyal relationships with others. God listens to the cries of each and every being in the universe. Your desires are known to Him even without you uttering a word.

Your true Master is your Naam and not the physical body of the Master. The body is a perishable entity. God exists in the congregation of a Master.

The doors within your body are shut and can only be opened by someone with the necessary know how. When you knock on the tenth door at the eye centre, it will be answered by the Master, but you will only be allowed in if you are worthy. The key to opening the tenth door is your Naam. You are the temple of the living God and are the summit of all creation. Recognise yourself. There is one God, the God of all Gods.

Someone who will truly enquire about your well being is a Master. He is your dear and true friend. A spiritual friend. His message is one of reconciliation and not of division, strife or conflict.

Look within yourselves. This human form created by God is a reflection of His glory and is a pure form. The body, universe and Naam are also pure.

* These are the main points of the Satsang delivered by Mahraz Darshan Das held in 1982 at Rookery Road School, Birmingham
