| A DIVINE PERSONALITY – SWAMI SANT DASS JI |
|
Swami Sant Dass Ji’s enlightened mind dwelled in unbroken connection with the Almighty upholding the highest Truth. He lived a life of utter simplicity and absolute humility.
Swami Ji exonerated the people to awaken from their deep slumber, seek refuge in the supreme and trust him in entirety. Having surrendered, his light would continue to shine on us even in the thickest of storms and darkest of nights. The Almighty is nearer to us than our heart beats and closer to us than our breathing. Swami Ji implored the people to live every living moment remembering the name of the omnipresent. Swami Sant Dass Ji patiently taught the people to direct their love to God viewing him as a window to infinity.
Swami Ji carried the message of God to the people by Seva and Satsang. Through mesmerizing music he established a commune with God and drowned in it for hours. Seva implied to him service to God. Not only serving food to the people daily, Swami Ji also believed in and practised other forms of community service.
His enlightened vision made him take up the cause of education and public health. Swami Ji was of the conviction that this would lead to the upliftment of society, the concept which was far ahead of his times. In the premises of the Ashram he organized Punjabi language classes so that people from far and near could avail of this service and through this medium come to God.
Swami Ji’s entire life is a saga of selfless service. The incidents of his valour and sacrifice are hair raising which are only to be felt and would beggar description in words for the hand cannot write what the heart feels. He was an embodiment of the supreme power whose sole desire was to draw people to God and not towards his materialism. He was truly an incarnate of God who inspired us that duties one could evolve, for the mind alone was the cause of man’s bondage, and is also the instrument of man’s liberation. |
