SARBACHAN

Bachan 5
21. One should develop such love for the Saints as the fish for water. Whosoever develops such love for the Saints becomes dear to them and only such a devotee would get released from the world.
22. One should keep in view what his mind says and what the Guru orders. Following the orders of the Guru he subdues his mind and following the dictates of the mind, he turns his face away from the Guru. But he who has real desire for ‘Parmarth’ would follow the Guru, while he who has no fear would be carried away by the impulses of the mind.
23. Nothing would be gained from the ‘path’[i] of the books of the Saints or by learning them by heart as long as one does not put their teachings into practice. One should therefore act according to the discourses he hears, otherwise his listening to and understanding them would go in vain.
24. These days people do not have even one- fourth of that love for the Satguru as they have for fasts, holy places and idols. Therefore they are not affected at all internally. If they hear the discourses or have the ‘darsana’ or repeat the Holy Name, they do so only outwardly. If they could contact a Perfect Satguru, He would influence their hearts in all possible ways. Except the Satguru, there is none else who can influence internally.
25. As long as one does not have faith in the Perfect Guru of his time, he cannot escape the cycle of births and deaths. Even if one is among the followers of the Saints of the past and has fixed his faith in them, and does not have faith in the Perfect Satguru of his time and does not act according to His instructions he cannot escape the cycles of births and deaths, because the Saints of the past also have ordered that one can achieve his object only if he surrenders himself to the Perfect Satguru of his time. Contd….
NB
[i] The chanting of religious or mystic poems (Sabdas) or of poems of love and devotion for the Supreme Being is called ‘path’.
