God is Shabd, and Love

[MichaelT...@yahoo.com]

A thought for today from Hazur Sawan Singh:

"The Adi Granth states that dhyan signifies knowing that
listening to the divine melody. Guru's Shabd (Word) is also known as
dhyan. This Shabd is the unstruck music that created the universe.
Dhyan is the second step of the spiritual ladder and is born of
simran . So long as a person has not seen God, how can he contemplate
upon his form? God is Shabd. He is Love. It is the language of
silence. He alone attains him who loves him. In the first
instance, it is essential that we should contact a Master who is Shabd
and love incarnate; who has merged himself in the Lord; who is no
longer a drop but has become the ocean . Soul is in the Lord, and the
Lord is in the soul. Therefore, so long as we do not see the Lord, we
should contemplate upon the form of a God-man."

(Sawan Singh. "Philosophy of the Masters: Volume 1". Pg. 78. RSSB)
