The Silent Sleep We Never Knew
Apart from the importance of sleep, there is another sort of sleep we are trapped in — the sleep of ignorance. Yes, the ignorance of truth, the purpose of our human existence. We are always taught to acquire money and become rich, no matter how it is achieved. But have we ever paused to ask ourselves — Is earning money the only purpose of our existence?
The answer is NO. It is supported by the true spiritual knowledge of Jagatguru Tatvdarshi Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj in His spiritual discourses and books. He, being the Complete Saint, explains that we attain this human life after undergoing the atrocities of 8.4 million animal forms, and the only purpose is to worship God and attain salvation.
However, just because we are here in the realm of Satan (Kaal Brahm), he keeps us in a deep sleep by navigating our interests towards luxuries and wealth, diverting us from salvation.
To break this cycle, Supreme God Kabir descends Himself every now and then to educate His pious souls about the nature of karmic bondage spreaded by Satan (Kaal Brahm). At present, He is manifesting His true spiritual knowledge through Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj. He describes that the by-products of worship of Supreme God Kabir are enormous since eternity, and health, wealth and luxuries follow, when one walks on the true spiritual path. Kabir Saheb has stated:
God Kabir in his Vaani says,
Kabir, soya to nishfal gayaa, jaago so fal ley |
Sahib hakk na raakhsi, jab maangae tab dey ||
