Lekh 110 (page 5-6) – Simran Part 3 by Bhau Ji
Meditate, meditate, meditate and find Peace.

In the mothers womb the being was unaware of the materialistic world and through Simran his heart was absorbed in his creator – but on taking birth into the materialistic world, the doubts of `me-mine’ state captured him and severed the link with his creator. In this way man through wrong company becomes absorbed in the doubt ridden ego state.

2 For 10 months He kept you in mother’s womb and on birth,materialism got attached to you”.  481

3 He comes out of the mother’s womb and forgetting his Lord attaches his mind to the world  1007

In this way, man under the influence of wrong company abandons the simran of

Tu – Tu (you – you)

and replaces it with the simran of

“Mai – Mai” (I – I) (me – me)

With this, man’s

• remembering
• thinking
• planning
• practicing
• dwelling on some idea.

becomes subordinate to the material world. For every second, every moment – day and night man’s mind is engrossed in this or that thought

• remembering
• thinking
• planning
• practicing
• dwelling on some idea.

This `practice of Simran’ could either

belong to the worldly hue
or
belong to the divine hue

All the time either in sleep state or awake state we are for sure doing simran – (mind is preoccupied with some thought or other) because our mind can never remain free, not ever for a moment.

What a ridiculous thing it is, to keep asking every Tom, Dick & Harry, “What is Simran ?” or “How do I do Simran ?” when the practice of simran,its meditation, is going on every moment, day and might without our
knowledge.

Under the influence of “materialistic life” we

• do our thinking
• make wishes
• make plans
• make effort
• struggle
• toil
• work
• face consequences
• driven by desires and needs
• face grief or happiness

and urged by jealousy and enmity, we have forsaken our creator and are rendering useless our priceless life (gift) – what is more – we are (completely) unaware of these destructive and degrading tendencies.
