Who Is a True Spiritual Person According to Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj? Was Jesus Christ a True Spiritual Seeker?
Many people believe that being spiritual means doing good deeds and spreading love. While this is partially true, according to Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, a true spiritual seeker (Parmarthi) goes much deeper. He explains that Lord Kabir Sahib is the Supreme God, and recognizing Him is the key to attaining salvation (moksha).
Interestingly, Jesus Christ is considered by Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj as a noble and spiritual soul. Jesus dedicated his life to spreading truth, love, and the message of God. However, complete spiritual liberation requires following certain essential steps.
According to the spiritual teachings of Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, a Parmarthi is not just someone who teaches good morals but someone who follows the complete spiritual path leading to eternal liberation (salvation).
Here’s what defines a true Parmarthi:
1. Recognizing the Supreme God – Kabir Sahib
A true devotee must first identify the real God. As per Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, Kabir Sahib is the Eternal God, who came to Earth to give true spiritual knowledge.
2. Taking Initiation from a True Spiritual Master (Satguru)
Just preaching good values is not enough. To be a true Parmarthi, one must:
- Take Naam Diksha (initiation) from a Complete Guru.
- Follow the method of devotion (bhakti) as described in Holy Scriptures like the Vedas, Bhagavad Gita, Bible, Quran, and Guru Granth Sahib.
3. Practicing Devotion as per the Scriptures (Not Blind Faith)
True devotion must align with scriptural teachings. Any worship or rituals not mentioned in the Holy Books are considered arbitrary or incomplete.
4. Setting an Example Through Actions
Like Jesus, a true Parmarthi teaches by example. Jesus endured suffering, spoke the truth, and guided people toward God’s path with love and compassion.
5. Aiming for Salvation (Freedom from the Cycle of Rebirth)
The ultimate goal of a spiritual seeker is salvation, not just temporary peace or worldly success. This is only possible through Satnaam and Saarnaam, the true mantras given by an enlightened spiritual master.
Was Jesus Christ a True Spiritual Seeker?
Yes, according to Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, Jesus was a genuine spiritual person who spread truth and love and dedicated his life to God’s mission. His qualities match many aspects of a Parmarthi:
| Jesus Christ’s Actions | Spiritual Traits |
|---|---|
| Spoke the truth | Lived a truthful life |
| Preached love and compassion | Practiced mercy and kindness |
| Guided people to God | Taught the path of devotion |
| Sacrificed his life for others | Symbol of surrender and sacrifice |
For instance, a cow herself grazes in the jungle or fields and
drinks water, but feeds nectar-milk to human beings. Ghee (clari
fied butter) is made from her milk. The male offspring of a cow, that
is, an ox is used for ploughing. He nurtures man. Even the cow dung
is used by human beings. After the death of a cow, its skin is used to
make leather shoes that protect man’s feet from thorns and pebbles.
A person in human life by not doing benevolence and remaining de
void of bhakti, destroys the precious human life in committing sins.
A meat-eater man by killing a cow like a demon eats its flesh, and
incurs heinous sin. Please read Supreme God Kabir Ji’s following
speech in this regard:
Example of Benevolent Cow
Gauko jaanu parmaarth khaani | gau chaal gun parkhahu gyaani ||
Aapan charey trin udyaana | anchvey jal de ksheer nidaana ||
Taasu ksheer ghrit dev aghaahin | gau sut nar ke poshak aahin ||
Vishtha taasu kaaj nar aave | nar agh karmi janm gamaave ||
Teeka purey tab gau tan naasa | nar raakshas gotan let graasa ||
Chaam taasu tan ati sukhdaayi | etik gun ik gotan bhaai ||
Example of Benevolent Saint
Gau sam Sant gahae yeh baani | to nahin Kaal karae jivhaani ||
Nartan lahi as buddhi hoyi | Satguru miley amar havae soyi ||
Suni Dharmni parmaarath baani | parmaarthte hoye na haani ||
Pad parmaarth Sant adhaara | Guru sam leyi so utre para ||
Satya shabd ko parichay paavae | parmaarth pad lok sidhaavae ||
Sewa karey visaare aapa | aapa thaap adhik santaapa ||
Yeh nar as chaatur buddhimana | gun subh karm kahae ham thaana ||
Ooncha karm apne sir linha | avgun karm par sir dinha ||
Taat hoye shubh karm vinasha | Dharmdas pad gaho vishwasa ||
Asha ek naamki raakhe | nij shubhkarm pragat nahin bhaakhe ||
Gurupad rahe sada lau leena | jaise jalahi na visrat meena ||
Guru ke shabd sada lau laave | Satyanaam nishdin gungaave ||
Jaise jalahi na visre meena | aise shabd gahey parveena ||
Purush naamko as parbhaau | hansa bahuri na jagmahn aau ||
Nishchay jaay Purush ke paasa | koormkala parkhahu Dharmdasa ||
Meaning: – Supreme God Kabir Ji has given a message and a
direction to the mankind via Dharmdas ji that a human being should
be benevolent like a cow. Those who have found a Satguru will be
come immortal. They will be saved from heinous (anghon) sins. If
one does service, then one should not aspire for praise. If one will
pat oneself on the back (consider oneself to be praiseworthy in or
der to get honour and superiority), then he will experience greater
suffering. The auspicious deeds will get destroyed.
An initiated person should only aspire for naam (mantra). One
should relinquish the desire for honour and superiority from one’s
heart. One should not reveal one’s auspicious deeds (donation or
other service) before anyone. One should stay in Guru’s feet i.e.
refuge just as a fish stays in water. A fish cannot live without water
even for a second. It immediately dies. One should give importance
to the refuge of Guru in this way. One should always remain en
grossed in the (shabd) recitation-mantra (Satguru Shabd), which is
Satyanaam, the real bhakti mantra, given by Guru ji. It is a bhakti
mantra of Purush (God). It has such an influence, such a power that
a worshipper never returns in the cycle of birth and death in the
world. One goes to the Eternal Supreme Abode where there is su
preme peace. After going there, a worshipper never returns to the
world.
This same evidence is in Shrimadbhagavat Gita Chapter 18 Verse
- The Speaker of the knowledge of Gita has stated that – O Arjun!
You may go in the refuge of that Supreme God in every respect.
Only by the grace of that Supreme God, you will attain supreme
peace and go to the Eternal Supreme Abode (Shashvat SthanM).
(Chapter 18 Verse 62)
In Gita Chapter 15 Verse 4, the Speaker of the knowledge of
Gita has stated that after gaining the Tatvgyan (true & complete
spiritual knowledge), one should search for that supreme state of
the Supreme God, having gone where, a worshipper never returns
to the world. Only worship the Supreme God who has created the
world-like tree. (Chapter 15 Verse 4)
The Speaker of the knowledge of Gita has clarified his mortal
state i.e. state of birth and death in Chapter 2 Verse 12, Chapter 4
Verse 5, 9 and Chapter 10 Verse 2 that – “O Arjun! You and I have
had several births. You do not know; I know.” Readers! It has be
come clear from Gita that the Speaker of the knowledge of Gita (is
Kaal Brahm who was speaking by entering into the body of Shri
Krishna ji) is mortal; he is in the cycle of birth and death, so his
worshippers also have a similar state. Therefore, they cannot ob
tain the benefit mentioned in Gita Chapter 18 Verse 62 and Chapter
15 Verse 4. The second thing that has been proved is that there is
some Almighty God, the Giver of all the benefits, other than the
Speaker of Gita. The speaker of Gita i.e. Kaal Brahm is advising to
go in that God’s refuge. That Supreme God is Kabir Bandi Chhod
Ji. He has himself described his magnificence that you are reading
in Kabir Sagar. Supreme God has mentioned in Anurag Sagar Page
13 that – who shall I make the witness of the story of the nature
created by Satya Purush, because everybody was created after
wards? Earlier there was only Satpurush. The thing to ponder here
is that from where did Kabir Ji gain this knowledge, when there was
no one at the time of the creation of nature? It is self-evident from
this, that He is himself the Complete God, the Creator of the uni
verse. The great souls whom Supreme God Kabir Ji has met, they
have also given this very testimony that:
Garib, anant koti brahmand ka, ek rati nahin bhaar |
Satguru Purush Kabir hain, kul ke Sirjanhaar ||
