Question: If God is Kabir, then why do you worship Baakhabar Sant Rampal ji?
Many of our Muslim brothers say that if God is Kabir Sahib, then why do you worship the photo of Saint (Baakhabar) Rampal Ji Maharaj.
Rampal Das :- Give its answer in this way :-
Answer: - First of all, you should understand what the difference between worship and respect is :-
Listen! For example, a wife is devoted to her husband. She worships him. But she duly respects everyone. She greets everyone. Showing respect to someone is not counted in worship. A great man, who has shown the true path to the true God, has done great favour to man, it is our duty to revere him.
You (Muslims) believe four books to be true :- 1. Quran 2. Taurat 3. Zaboor 4. Injil. {Three books Taurat, Zaboor and Injil have been collectively bound in the Bible. The Bible is not a separate book.} You have read the "Creation of Nature" in the Bible which is written in the book Taurat. It describes that God created "Adam" from clay. Then He called all the angels and said that prostrate to "Adam", the man. An angel named Iblis did not prostrate himself and said, “He is a man made of clay. I will not bow my head before him.” Despite repeated advice, when he did not obey God's order, he was thrown out of heaven. He became known as Shaitan (Devil). All the other angels obeyed the command of God. They are happy in the Heaven. We, by the order of the (Kaadar Khuda) Almighty God Kabir, prostrate ourselves before Sant Rampal ji, who is our Guru (Spiritual Teacher). There is an order of the same Supreme God (Khuda Kabir) in the Sukshmved (Kalame Kabir) which is as follows: -
Kabir, Guru Gobind kar jaaniyo, chaliyo aagya maanhi |
miley to dandavat bandagi, nahin pal-pal dhyaan lagaahin ||
Kabir, Guru maanush kar jaantey, te nar kahiye andh |
hovein dukhi sansaar mein, aage yam ke fand ||
Meaning that it is the order of Allah Kabir, the Creator of the universe, the Sustainer that regard your Guru Ji (Gobind) as God and obey his orders. When you go to the ashram to see him or if he meets you on the way, then prostrate yourself before your guru. Remember his favour the rest of the time. Those who consider Guru ji to be a human and do not give him respect equivalent to God, they are (blind) devoid of the eyes of true spiritual knowledge. They will remain unhappy in this world and then fall into the noose of Yamraj i.e., in Hell. Guru ji's favour has been described that: -
Kabir, Satguru ke updesh ka suniya ek vichaar |
jae Satguru miltey nahin, to jaate yam dwaar ||
Kabir, yamdwaar mein doot sab, kartey kheinchaataan |
unse kabahu na chhootta, phir firta chaaron khaan ||
Kabir, chaar khaani mein bhramta, kabahu na lagta paar |
so fera sab mit gaya, mere Satguru ke upkaar ||
Kabir, saat samudr ki masi karoon, lekhni karoon banaraay |
dharti ka kaagaj karoon, guru gun likha na jaay ||
Meaning - What benefit has been obtained from taking initiation from Satguru ji and what harm would have been incurred if there were no Satguru, this has been explained that if we had not found Satguru ji, we would have burnt in the fire of hell. Yam's messengers would have beaten us. Then we would have suffered in the lives of animals, birds, insects etc.
All these sufferings were eliminated by the grace of Satguru ji. If I start writing the qualities of such a true (Pir) saint, then pens made from all the trees will wear out, ink equivalent to the seven seas will finish, and even if the paper is of the size of the earth, it will run out, but the beneficence of Guru ji cannot be described.
Sant Rampal Das ji is our Satguru (True Pir). Due to the above-mentioned benevolence, it is our duty to revere him by prostrating ourselves before him.
It is Supreme God Kabir’s order to prostrate oneself before Guru ji. It is obligatory to follow it; otherwise, one will get the title of a (shaitan) devil. Obeying the order will lead to heaven. Therefore, we prostrate ourselves before our Satguru.
Muslim brothers say that our God revealed the knowledge of Quran Majeed to Hazrat Muhammad ji. We bow (salute by kneeling and touching one’s forehead to the ground) to that Allah. Muslim brothers should contemplate that the giver of the knowledge of Quran Majeed has told in Surah Furqan 25 Verses no. 52-59 about God other than himself that He who created the whole universe, He forgives the sins of His devotees; He alone created human beings. Then He made someone son-in-law, daughter-in-law etc. He filled sweet and salty water separately in the earth. He created everything in six days and sat on the throne on the seventh day. Ask a Baakhabar (Tatvdarshi Saint) for information about Him. This clarifies that the the giver of the knowledge of Quran Majeed is not the Baakhabar. Muslim brothers bow their heads and salute (sajda) that person with little knowledge. If we do Sajda (by prostrating ourselves) to Baakhabar Saint Rampal ji, then what is the fault in it?
