* States By Dr. Manmohan Singh Jalap Says : Supremely fruitful are the feet, if the feet walk on the way of Guru Amar Dass. Supremely fruitful are those hands, that touch the feet of Guru Amar Dass. Supremely fruitful is the tongue, if the tongue recites the praise of Guru Amar Dass. Supremely fruitful are the eyes, if the eyes behold the vision of Guru Amar Dass. Supremely fruitful are the ears, if the ears hear the praise of Guru Amar Dass. Fruitful is the mind, in which mind Guru Amar Dass, the father of the world, himself abides. Fruitful is that head, says 'Jalap' which head ever bows before Guru Amar Dass. They grieve not, are not afflicted with hunger and cannot be said to be poor. They grieve not and their limit can be found not. They serve not another and they give gifts to hundreds and thousands. They are seated on the rich carpets and they disestablish and well-establish others in their will. They obtain peace in this world and wearing the apparel of fearlessness, they abide amidst their adversaries. Wholly successful are they, says Jalap, on whom is the pleasure of Guru Amar Dass. Thou read of one God, enshrine Him alone in thy mind and consider Him as One. Through thine eyes and words of mouth, thou realise but one Lord, and know not of another's refuge. Thou see the One Lord in dream and the same One even while awake and are merged in the One alone. At the age of seventy-one (thirty+one+five+thirty-five) thou did begin to march towards the Indestructible Lord. The One Lord, who from one assumes lacs and lacs of forms, can be see n not; Him, thou O Guru, has described as One. Says Jalap, thou seek One Lord and the One Lord thou worship. The understanding, which Jaidev grasped and the understanding which permeated Namdev. The understanding that was in the mind of Tirlochan and which was realised by saint Kabir. The understanding through which Rukmaged the King, did the deed of ever contemplating his Lord, O brother. The understanding, by which seeking the Lord's refuge, king Amrik and saint Prahlad were blessed with salvation. Says Jalap, by that very understanding, thou, O Guru, has shed thy avarice, wrath and desire and has known the way of life. Guru Amar Dass is the Lord's own saint, seeing whose vision, one is blessed with emancipated Meeting with Amar Dass, the Guru, the earth is rid of its sins. The perfect persons and strivers crave to meet with Guru Amar Dass. Meeting with Amar Dass, the Guru, the mortal is blessed with meditation and his journey comes to an end. Meeting with Guru Amar Dass, the fear-free Lord is attained and one's transmigration ceases. When man is domesticated with the Guru's sublime word, then alone ceases that love of another, which is different from that of the One Lord. Says Jalap, so many invaluable objects are attained by seeing the sight of Guru Amar Dass.
