शिष्यवाक्य- Couplets by the student
राम नाम उर राखि कै गुरुपद रज उर धारि।
विवेकसार गुरु शिष्य वचन कहाें सुसुमति विचारि ।।१।।
Keeping the name of Rama (The One True God) in your heart and hold the dust of the Guru’s feet in your heart. The essence of wisdom is in the following dialogue of the Guru (Shri Dattatreya as the Guru & Aghoreshwar Baba Shri Kinaram as the disciple)and disciple, contemplate them (dialogues) with your own individual conscience.
व्यापक व्याप्य प्रकाश महॅं चिदानंद सुखधाम।
बहिरंतर जहॅं तहॅं प्रकट वन्दौ आत्माराम।।२।।
Wherever there is illumination in this universe, as well as wherever there is darkness, that every place is the abode of the ever enjoying One True God. The one who is manifested both Inside my body as well as outside my body, I bow to that Supreme Self (Ātmārāma).
राम नाम सत्संग सम साधन और न कोई।
श्रुति सिद्धांत विचार यह जानै विरला कोई।।३।।
There is no spiritual practice equal to the company of the righteous, the one who believes in the Only One True Lord Rama. The scriptures and philosophical conclusions affirm this, but only a rare person realizes it.
जिन्ह जाना तिह्न जानिया मन वच कर्म विश्वास।
अविचल पायो अमर पद रहित सबै जगत्रास ।।४।।
Those who have known the company of the true ones, saints, who knows the One true God, only they will know where to divert their mind, actions, their speech and their belief. Those people will attain the immutable, become immortal and free from all the worries of the world.
आशा चिन्ता शंकना बहु डायन घर माहिं।
सतगुरु चरण विचार विनु नेकु नहिं विलगाहिं ।।५।।
Hopes, worries, and doubts are like many witches dwelling in me. Without deep contemplation and thoughts that are driven by my own conscience, and without surrendering on the feet of the True Guru without any doubt, they will never leave at all.
जगदानंद कृपाल गुरु अन्तर रहित उदार।
रामकिना वन्दत सदा विगत समस्त विकार।।६।।
The compassionate Guru, residing as pure joy in the whole Universe, is free from all differentiations and is very generous to everyone without difference. Aghoreshwar Guru Ramkina always bows to him, as he is beyond all impurities and flaws.
कल्पनहूँ के कल्पतरु गुरु दयाल जिय जानि।
शिवाराम हैं नाम शुचि रामकिना पहिचानि।।७।।
The one who has identified the Guru as the wish fulfilling tree in his imagination, his birth name is Shivaaraam and he is known by the name Ramkina.
सतगुरु समरथ साँचि लखि वर प्रसाद उर पाय।
आत्मा अनुभव की कथा कछु इक कहौं जनाय।।८।।
I have recognized the Real Teacher who is capable, and I have received his Prasaad in my mind. Following this, I am now reciting a small story of self-realisation for the people.
पुरी द्वारिका गोमती गंगा सागर तीर।
दत्तात्रेय मोहिं कहॅं मिले हरन महा भव पीर।।९।।
In the Holy cities of Puri, Dwarka, on the banks of River Gomti, River Ganga and on seashore, The True Guru Dattatreya met me and has asked me to take away the most possible painful things (Anger, Greed, Hatred, Jealousy) from this Great World.
आशापुरी शक्तियुक्त शिव सिद्धेश्वर जान।
तिन्ह सों यह वर हौं लयो वचन सिद्ध को ज्ञान।।१०।।
Let it be known that this Dattatreya is none other than the one who dwells in the city of Hope, the one who has the feminine Goddess of Shakti (power) in his body, the one who is the God of all great capabilities, Shiva. It is his blessing only that I have received the knowledge and capability of speaking perfectly.
चरन वंदि ऐसो कह्यौ ज्ञानरूप रवि देख।
संशय तिमिर विनाशिये कीजै कृपा विशेष।।११।।
Looking at this divine Sun of Knowledge I bowed down at the feet of my Guru Dattatreya, and requested him to give special blessings to me by destroying the darkness of doubt. (In India, Guru is the one who leads one from darkness to light, here Aghoreshwar Baba Kinaram has identified the darkness as doubts, and requested his Guru to destroy the darkness within him).
अति दयाल मम सीस पर कर परस्यो मुनिराय।
ज्ञान विज्ञान भक्ति दृढ़ दीन्हो हृदय लखाय।।१२।।
That extremely generous great Sage placed his hand on my forehead, and wrote robust knowledge, pure science and deep devotion in my heart. (He thus enlightened his student with proper knowledge, science and devotion).
कृपा कर्यौ अनुभव कह्यौ काया कमल प्रकास।
अलख रूप को ज्ञान कहि दिया मोहि विश्वास।।१३।।
He showered his blessings on me, told his experiences and thus made my body radiant and lotus like. He told me that the One True God is Unwritten Supreme (A-Lakh, Un- Written or Un- Writable). All the written things about God are not necessarily true. They can only be felt, within. His experiences instilled confidence in me such that I started to believe what he was saying.
परम्परा की हेतु लै सहित विवेक विचारी।
कह्यौ दया करी तबहिं मुनि मोहिं अति दीन निहारि।।१४।।
The guru showered mercy on a very poor student like me, and told me that for the sake of traditions you will have to keep your conscience and thoughts with you and assess whatever I say according to your own understanding and time, by using conscience and thoughts.
पुनि मुनि गुरु शिष की कथा जीव ब्रह्म उपदेश।
नाम रूप लहि सब कह्यौ अलख अनुपम भेष।।१५।।
Hey Virtuous Sage, this story of Guru and his Student is the ultimate truth behind the creation of the world, this story is for all living beings. The Guru further described the One True God's Name, that is Alakh (The Unwritten/The Unwritable) The State of Matter they are in and also their Appearance.
मोहि प्रबोधे विविध विधि त्रिकालज्ञ भगवान।
अन्तरहित होते भये वानी सत्य प्रमान ।।१६।।
The Divine Guru who is himself the One True God and knower of all 3 times (past, present, future) taught and explained the ultimate truth behind the creation of the world with the help of various scientific laws; and thereafter the Guru went back to his original location, that is inside me, in my Atman, as well as outside, everywhere, they became endless. I saw all this happening and my speech is the evidence/proof of this incident, this is truth.
जस कुछ मो कहॅं लखि पर्यौ सोई समझ उर राखि।
कहाें सो तेहि अनुहार अब सत्य नाम की साखि।।१७।।
Whatever Guru Dattatreya told me, I have totally understood it, and now I'll write it down as it is, without making even a minute change in its meaning. The One True God is witness to this truth. If you believe in that God, so you should believe that this is the truth.
वर वानी भाषा रुचिर विविध छंद रति मानि।
ज्ञान अंग वैराग्य को पुनि विज्ञान वखानि।।१८।।
Please understand that the language that came from the Guru was very affable, and versed with love. The whole truth has been defined in different parts, some of them are the Knowledge Part, Renunciation Part and the Science Part.
साखि षटपद चौपाई अक्षर अर्थ विवेक।
रामकिना सो जानि हैं जिन्ह के हरि गुरु एक।।१९।।
Use yours and my conscience (my personal knowledge of good and bad, as well as yours) as the witness of every 6 lined verse and 4 lined verse, couplets as well as every word written by me, the Ramkina, as truth. You will understand my words as truth only if your One True God and the Teacher (Guru) are one. If you see no difference between your God and your Guru (Teacher) then only you will understand the words written by me (Kinaram) as the one and only truth. I have already written that the true Guru is the one, upon whom you have no doubt, whatsoever.
अच्छर - अच्छर को अरथ करि विचार जान सोइ।
अमर धाम सो पाइ हैं सब विधि संशय खोइ।।२०।।
If you will use your thinking capacity to understand each and every word that I say without any doubt, then rest assured that you will come to know the true meaning of immortality.
द्वैताद्वैत सुनत मिटै पंचाकृत को वाद।
सो जानै जाकै कछू सतगुरु चरन प्रसाद।।२१।।
The one who will understand the oneness of the One True God, will truly know the exact meaning of panchakrut and ultimately become one with them (Madya(alcohol= getting into high spirit of devotion), Mamsa(meat= surrender your flesh and bone), Mudra(your pose= align your existence with that of the divine being, become one with your aatman), Maithun(sex= symbolic merging of Shiva and Shakti, become one with the universal one true God) and Matsya(fish= control your senses, compared to fishes like mind wandering in endless ocean)). This secret of panchakrut will be understood by only those ones, who have received the blessings of the true Guru, and they will become one with the panchakrutis. Ofcourse, the One True God's blessings will only be received by those who have no doubt on the oneness of Guru and God.
दोहा दोहा सो समुझि चौपाई चित जोइ।
षटपद अर्थ विचार तें बहुरि न संशय होइ।।२२।।
The one who will understand the meaning of each couplet, will further understand the quadruplets and the six line verses, and also each and every word in this book Viveksaar, couplet by couplet, joining the meaning of them all, will have no doubt even on the sestets (6 lined verses).
मन बुधि चित अहंकार महॅं सोइ नाम ठहराय।
विवेक सार वरनों कछु श्री गुरु सदा सहाय।।२३।।
Whoever has tried to write or explain the One True Divine Name as one's mind, intellect, ego and consciousness; Viveksaar contradicts that knowledge and the True Guru will help in understanding the true Divine Name that is righteously explained in the Viveksaar.
ब्रह्मानंद सुबोधमय आतम अनघ अकाम।
छंदरहित प्रकाशवत अलख निरंतर नाम।।२४।।
These lines in Viveksaar that I have written to explain The ever illuminated light like True God's Name (Alakh, The Unwritten or the Unwritable, but can be felt across times, countries, planets, languages), he is mine and your Aatman (soul), if you chant it indefinitely without any reason with pure emotion of love and gratitude, you will receive the ultimate joy of learning the true wisdom, which is equal to the happiness felt by Brahma (the creator of the world).
सतगुरु निरखत शिष्य को भयो परम उत्साह।
चरन वंदी बोलत भयो लह्यौ सबै को लाह।।२५।।
When the Guru knew that student was ready to receive the knowledge that will benefit equally to one and all, he started observing the student, and student became extremely excited that he was going to receive the ultimate knowledge for the welfare of all living beings, the student then bowed to his Guru and the Guru started speaking the knowledge that benefits the one and all equally.

शिष्यवाक्य
(Couplets by the disciple)
पर्यों कठिन भव फाँस महॅं विकल महा भय भीत।
अपनो करि प्रतिपालिये और नहीं जग मीत।।२६।।
Hey Dear Teacher, I am trapped badly in the terrible maze of worldly existence, and due to this I am extremely scared. I request you to please accept me and parent me as your own, as I do not have any other to call mine in this world.
आशा चिन्ता कल्पना काया कर्म को बंध।
बहु शंका में परि रह्यौ क्यों मगु पावै अंध।।२७।।
My body and actions are blocked by hope, desires, stress and imaginations. A person that is blind with numerous doubts, will never find the right path.
विषय वासना जीव तें टारे टरै न कोइ।
कामादिक अतिसै प्रबल क्यों करि सुख रति होइ।।२८।।
The lust of subject or materialistic subjects (wealth, sex, power, etc.) is so much powerful in all living beings that nobody can ignore it and focus on The One True God's Name. The one who is blinded by the desire of sex and other worldly things like anger, attachments, greed, pride, jealousy, etc. will never find the the true happiness and love.
जन्म मरन संकट निरखि अधिक त्रास जिय सोइ।
चरण शरण गुरुदेव अब मोहिं सम दीन न कोई।।२९।।
Seeing the cycle of birth and death I am extremely terrified and suffering from within. I request you dear Teacher God to give me the solace and company of your feet as there is no one poor and helpless like me.

शिष्यवाक्य
(Couplets by the disciple)
देश काल पूरन सदा दिसि अरु विदिसि निरुत।
पाँच तत्व गुण तीन को भेद कहो भगवंत।।३१।।
Dear Guru, according to and specific to the present country and time, please tell me the difference and about the five elements (Fire, Space, Water, Earth and Air) and 3 (Rajo (passion/activity) Gun/Quality, Tamo (darkness) Gun/Quality and Sattva (True, Pure) Gun/Quality) qualities that have constituted and defined my body and this entire world, as well as all the directions and their sub directions.
आतम अनातम को कहो पर-आतम को रूप।
समरथ मोहिं समुझाइ करि हरो कठिन भ्रमकूप।।३२।।
Please tell me the description of what is my true self (Aatam), what not is my true self (AnAtam), as well as what is the description of the One True God. My Dear Teacher I know you if you will explain this to me, I'll be rescued from drowning in the well of very difficult confusion.
ज्ञानाज्ञान विचार पुनि कहिये दीन दयाल।
जेहि तेहि आतम को लहो मेहि विषय जंजाल।।३३ll
Dear Merciful Guru, please speak about what is knowledge and what is not, again and again, so that by hook or by crook I'll understand it completely, despite being caught in subjective or materialistic world.
गुरुवाक्य
(Couplets by the True Guru)
अमर बीज को ज्ञान जो शिष्य सुनावों तोहि।
लघु विशाल नाही कछू तू आतमरत होहि।।३४।।
To understand the Immortal Creator's knowledge, you will have to sacrifice and forget all differences like small-big, high-low, superior-inferior, emotions-or no emotions, existence- non existence; and then focus on your true self, the Aatman (soul).
रज तम सत अप तेज अरु पवन गगन महि ठान।
सत्य पुरुष की शक्ति ते भये सकल यह जान।।३५।।
Keep no doubt that whatever exists in this universe like the Rajo Gun, Tamo Gun and Sattva Gun (all 3 qualities) and Water, Fire, Air, Space and Soil were created by the One True God.
काम क्रोध मद लोभरत ममता मत्सर सोच।
अनआत्मक सो जानिये सब विधि संतत पोच।।३६।।
Lust, anger, pride, arrogance, greed, desire, possessiveness, "my"ness, jealousy and constant thinking are all things that are not the true self, these things are not Aatman (not coming from the soul); just know that all these things are corrupt by all means and by all ways, without any doubt, and continuously, timelessly these things will stay corrupt.
आतम सत्य विचार लहि दया सहित आनंद।
शुचि समता धीरज सहित विगत सबै जग द्वंद।।३७।।
The ones who will keep thinking over the thought of the One True God or the Aatman (Soul) will always have mercy and endless joy in their hearts. They will develop thoughts about Impartiality or Equality, Patience and they will be free from all the dualities of the world (sad-happy, rich-poor, fear-fearless, etc).
अनआतम आतम समुझि रहु सतसंग समाइ।
परआतम तोसो कहिय सुनहु शिष्य चितलाइ।।३८।।
Understand the difference between Aatam (The One True God and the One True Self), and AnAatam (that what is not True God or True Self) first, and then absorb yourself company of those who know the truth and believe in it (SatSang, Company of the Truly Spiritual Beings). Now I'll tell you about the ParAatam or the One True God, listen with rapt attention and concentration.
समुझिही ते ज्ञान है अनसमुझे अज्ञान।
समुझी समुझि विचार लहि सो कहिये विज्ञान।।३९।।
Whatever you understand is knowledge, and that what you don't understand is ignorance. When you think and elaborate on what you have understood, it becomes science.
शिष्यवाक्य
(Couplets by the disciple)
भवखंडन संशयहरन प्रनतपाल गुरुदेव।
अब आतम जान्यौं कछू पांच तीन को भेद।।४०।।
My Dear Gurudev, you have liberated me from the worldly bondage, you have removed all doubts from my mind and you have taken the perfect care of those who have surrendered to you. Upon thinking on and understanding what you have told me, I have came to know the knowledge about the five elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Space and Air) and three qualities (Raj, Tam and Sattva).
ज्ञानाज्ञान समुझि पर्यौ तुम प्रसाद गुरुराज।
और एक मोहिं सन कहिय सकल लोग सिरतराज।।४१।।
My Dear Gurudev, by your divine guidance, mercy and grace I now understand what is knowledge and what is not. I now have one more question about the creator of all living beings.
सत्य पुरुष को नाम अरु रूप सहित अस्थान।
शक्ति संग अनुभव प्रकट आतम इंद्री जान।।४२।।
Please tell me that One True Creator's Name, Describe His Appearance and tell me his Location. Please also tell me his experience with Shakti (The Energy in Goddess Form), such that my soul and all senses perceive that Creator's all information.
गुरु शिष को आशीष करि बोले वचन बहोरि।
श्रुति पुराण सब शास्त्र को सम्मत सार निचोरि।।४३।।
The Merciful Guru then said to his disciple that now what I tell you is the approved and agreed upon summary of all the Vedas (Shruti), Puranas as well as all the existing sciences.
सत्यपुरुष को सत्य कहि सत्य नाम को लेखि।
रूप रेख नहिं सम्भवै कहिये कहा विशेषि।।४४।।
I can only call the One True God as the only truth, as well as write his true name. But the dimensions defined by Humans cannot define that One True God, so it is not possible for Humans to understand him, but only his specialities can be understood by Humans.
हंसा हंसा मध्य ही रूप रम्य अस्थान।
ब्रह्मदिक को गमि नहीं क्यों करि करिय बखान।।४५।।
The One True God's description and the place where he always stays and enjoys is between my Aatman and the Universe's One True God. His description could not be defined by even the Brahma and Other Gods, what will we earthly living beings achieve by describing the one who is Unwritable (Alakh).
चंद्र उदय नहिं सूर्य नहिं तहॅं पवन उन्चास।
धरनी नभ छाया तहाॅं नहीं मेरु कैलास।।४६।।
Even if we attempt to describe their location, it is like a place where there is no Moonrise, Sunrise or the 49 types of wind described in holy texts. At the place where they reside does not even have the earth, sky, shadow as well as not even the Mount Kailash.
नहिं नक्षत्र नहिं दिवस निशि नहीं ज्ञान अज्ञान।
पाप पुण्य एकौ नहीं तीरथ व्रत अरु दान।।४७।।
The place where there is the abode of the One True God, does not have anything like the constellations or galaxies, there is no day or night, nether knowledge or absence of it. There is no sin, virtue, merit, and not even any pilgrimage, fasting or donations.
सेव्य न सेवक सखा तहॅं नहिं शुभ अशुभ प्रकार।
अनल आपु त्रैगुण सहित नहिं एकौ विस्तार।।४८।।
There is no one to be served, neither there is any servant. There is neither any friend nor any companion and nothing like Auspicious or Unauspicious forms or types. There exists no fire, no water or the other five elements and not even the three qualities, not even a single thing is consistent.
वेद न वानी हित अहित वर्णाश्रम को धर्म।
ब्रह्म जीव एकौ नहिं काया काल अरु कर्म।।४९।।
In the One True God's abode, there are neither the vedas, nor speech ability, nor any of the four Varnas (Brahman, Kshatriya, Vaishya or Shudra), and there is not even any Dharma, not even the one that imposes the 4 varnas on its followers. There is no Brahma, no Life, neither the body, nor the time, not even any deeds are there.
ब्रह्मा शेष प्रजंत ते निर्गुण सगुण विचार।
मैं तू एकौ नहिं तहाॅं जोग युक्ति व्यवहार।।५०।।
In the One True God's abode, there is no Brahma, no Shesh Naag (Vehicle of Vishnu), no living beings, not even the thoughts of any type like Formless or Manifested. There is not me, not you, there is not even the Yoga, Ideas, Business or Anything Practical.
नाम रूप एकौ नहीं नारि पुरुष लहि चीन्ह।
लेख अलेख सुवेष में वास निरन्तर कीन्ह।।५१।।
No name, no appearance, not dictinct between man and woman, in such appearance that is sometimes writable and sometimes unwritable, in an appearance that is perfect and beautiful, they always reside.
कछुक दिवस ऐसो रह्यौ अविनाशी अवधूत।
ताहि ते इच्छा प्रकट तब कीन्हों शब्द अभूत।।५२।।
After spending a few days in this appearance, the Indestructible One True God made a wish and uttered one word that was the first thing to be created of this universe, such a word never existed before this point of time.
तामें तीन पुरुष भये परम चतुर एक नारी।
नाम छिति पावक पवन जल रचना जगत विचारि।।५३।।
By the sound of that word, Air, Earth, Water and fire came into being. By that sound only, three men and one very smart woman came into being. This all was followed by the creation of the universe.
पुनि विहॅंसत एक नारि भइ सुमन कमल निर्मान।
ब्रह्मा विष्णु महेश सुर भये सकल यह जान।।५४।।
That smiling smart woman created one Lotus, from that Lotus Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh and other celestial creations came into being.
निज इच्छा तेहि देइ करि आपु आपु महॅं होइ।
रमत दिगंबर भेष में सदा निरंतर सोइ।।५५।।
That One True God then conveyed his wishes to all of them, and then became alone and occupied inside their own self. That same One True God is ever enjoying, clad from all sides by all the directions they keep roaming everywhere, enjoying always and everytime.
प्रथम शक्ति जो प्रणव महॅं भई कहो शिष तोहि।
वेद मातु ता कहॅं कहिय नित इच्छा संग सोहि।।५६।।
The Pranav's (word "Om") first constituent is the energy (also referred as Goddess Shakti (Literally= "Energy")). That Mother is also called the Mother of All Vedas, and this first part, i.e., Mother Energy, always stays with the wish of the constant, i.e., the One True God or the Aatman (self, soul). Whenever there is wish from God or Self, the Mother Energy will bring it to fruition.
इच्छा क्रिया शक्ति संग शोभित भये अनंत।
पाँच तत्व गुण निती लै कर्यौ जगत को तन्त।।५७।।
The One True God, the one who has no end (is infinite) united with Will Power (Wish), Action and Energy (Shakti). Then they all together created the whole universe with the 5 elements (Earth, Fire, Space, Water and Air) and 3 qualities (Rajogun, Tamogun and Sattvagun).
प्रणव आदि मर्याद करि नाम रूप सब कीन्ह।
ब्रह्मा विष्णु महेश कहॅं जग पालन कहि दीन्ह।।५८।।
Then the One True God defined boundaries of the universe by Pranav Mantra (Om), etc. by defining the basic names and their dimensions and other descriptions. Then they themselves gave responsibilities to look after the universe as its parents, to their own three forms that are Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh.
कबहूॅं रजहिं प्रकाश करि कबहूॅं तम महॅं जाइ।
कबहुॅंक पालै सत्य कह नाम अनन्त कहाइ।।५९।।
That One True God sometimes enjoys, exists in the Rajo Guna in the form of light, sometimes they go in to the darkness, Tamo Guna. Sometimes they become the Sattva Guna (The balance between the Darkness and Light) and get called as the infinite one, the One True Name.
रुद्र होइ जग को करै कबहूॅं कबहूॅं संहार।
माया अलख अनन्त कहि निगम पुराण विचार।।६०।।
The One True God sometimes manifests in the form of Rudra and destroys the illussions of the worldly living beings, giving them pure wisdom. Rudra is the destroyer of the worldly materialistic things here. The thoughts in Vedas and the Puranas describe that The One True God's illusions or Maya (The Veil of the True Aatman, Soul) are infinite.
मैं जान्यौं सतगुरु कृपा सकल जगत व्यवहार।
आपा आपु विचारिये सत्य नाम करतार।।६१।।
Due to the blessings of The True Gurudev I have come to know all the worldly materialistic affairs (the combination of Maya (illusion), Our Karma (Worldly Deeds)). I have come to know that one should ask oneself "who they are?" And should thus know that their soul is none other than the One True God, the Universal Creator.
कहा कहिय समुझिय कहा का करि करिय विचार।
नहिं एको समुझत परै श्री गुरु ज्ञान अगार।।६२।।
What should I call the One True God, how should I understand them, and what should I think about them when I don't know anything, and I don't understand anything about them? I just know one thing that the Guru is the treasure trove of knowledge.
गुरुवाक्य
(Couplets by the True Guru)
साॅंचि कहिय साॅंचो सुनिय साॅंचो करिय विचार।
साॅंच समान न और कछु साॅंचो संग सम्हार।।६३।।
Speak the Truth, listen to the Truth and think about the Truth. There is nothing else like the Truth, the truth can only Truly Liberate You by destroying the falsehood or the Maya (worldly illusion).
माया अगम अनन्त की पार न पावै कोइ।
जो जानै जाके कछु काया परिचय होइ।।६४।।
The limits of the Universe(Maya (Worldly Illusion)) created by the One True God, the one who is unreachable physically, the one who is infinite, no one has ever crossed those limits of the Universe. The one who knows even a little about the Maya created by The One True God, will know the true identity of their own body.
शिष्यवाक्य
(Couplets by the disciple)
अमित प्रकाशत जगत गुरु मम गुरु दीन दयाल।
काया परिचय जो कह्यौ सो क्यों होइ कृपाल।।६५।।
The Universal Guru who has illuminated the limitless, the one who is my Guru, is ever merciful towards the poor and downtrodden. I request you to please shed some more light on what you have said previously about the one who truly know their body's identity, and why only they will be truly blessed?
गुरुवाक्य
(Couplets by the True Guru)
वे हैं शिष वैराग्य की तोहिं सुनावों अंग।
काया परिचय समुझि करि करहु सदा सतसंग।।६६।।
Now I tell you my dear disciple (Aghoreshwar Baba Kinaram) a part of renunciation and detachment from the Universe (Maya). Once you understand what is the true identity of your body, you are ordered by me to always remain in the company of the truth and in company of those wise people who know the truth.
जो ब्रह्मांड सो पिंड महॅं सकल पदारथ जानि।
त्रिधा शरिर भेद लै कारन कारज मानि।।६७।।
You are required to know that whatever is there in the universe, that every partical and element is in this body. The whole cause and effect cycle can be known and understood by understand the difference between the three layers of the body. The first layer is Sthool, that is made up of the 5 worldly elements (Earth, Fire, Water, Space and Air). The second layer is Sukshm (Micro) consists of the sensory body parts, mind, intellect, anger, ego, etc. The third layer is Kaaran (the Cause or Reason), the Aatman, the Soul, the layer responsible for the ignorance of the body, and also the one responsible for the cycle of birth and death.
पय अधीन स्थूल है सत्य कहों शिष तोहि।
सूक्ष्म देह प्रवर्ति कै सो स्वरूप रति होहि।।६८।।
The first layer of the body, that is the Sthool layer, the outer layer is made up of the five elements and is totally dependent on food, air and water. The second layer of the body, consisting of the mind, senses, and emotions is deeply attached to the trends, requirements and desires of the first layer.
कारण सदा अवश्य है पूरण पूरणताइ।
माया कारण जगत सब नाम रूप लहि गाइ।।६९।।
The Soul, the Cause, the Reason is always complete in itself. The Maya (worldly illusion) this very universe and all the names, dimensions and descriptions it consists is the effect of this very Soul, which is the ultimate cause, the ultimate reason.
तीनि शरिर लोक त्रय जानी।
पिंड माहॅं ताकी सहदानी।।७०।।
You should know that these three layers of body are no different than the three worlds of the universe (Land, Space and The Abode of the One True God). The body is totally connected and inter dependent on the three worlds.
पिंड माॅंह वस देव गणेशा।

जैसो कहो विचारिये जीवन यत्न जनाइ।।१६६।।

The air, wind, breath is the life of an organism. Henceforth consider this as truth.
बहुरि शब्द को जीवन कहिये।
प्राण प्रतिष्ठा तेते लहिये।।१६९।।

ब्रम्ह ब्रह्म सुब्रम्ह मै तैसा।।१७०।।
The inner layer of body, also known as the Sukshm (Micro) Layer has a life like the Brahma, Soul or the one supreme soul. The way leading to the inner body is not direct but can be found by experiencing Life, Consciousness, Breath and The Divine Word.

Lord Shiva has originated from the Niranjan, the Spotless, the One True God. After coming into being, Lord Shiva took a seat of independence, that is supportless. They are not dependent on any Physical or Mental implement, tool or raw material.
शिव ते भये काल अति भारी।
जो शुभ अशुभ प्रलय संहारी।।१८२।।
Lord Shiva himself became the regulator of Time and Tenses, the one who is responsible for auspicious, inauspicious, destruction and rebirth.
काल माॅंह ते शून्य अनूपा।
यह अनुभव को रूप अनूपा।।१८३।।

सो सच शास्त्र वेद मत जानो।।१८४।।
The Lord Shiva has originated from the Indestructible Niranjan, the Spotless One True God. Hey Disciple, you should never forget that this is the only truth mentioned in the opinions of Shastras and the Vedas.

सदा अशंक जाहि नहिं औरव।।१८५।।

अवगति से कहि प्राण जनायो।
मत सिध्दांत सार कहि गायो।।१८६।।
The life has originated from the Avagati, Sukshm Layer of the conscious being. This has always been the summary of all opinions and principles.
प्राण माॅंह ते मन प्रकटाना।
सदा निरंतर सो करि जाना।।१८७।।
The mind originates from consciousness. You are advised to keep the mind in conscience, and always strive to stabilize it there only.
मन ते भयउ शब्द परिनामा।
ताते कहिय अनन्त अनामा।।१८८।।
The Divine Word has originated from the mind itself. That divine word only is known as infinite and unnamed (Alakh).
शब्द माॅंह तब पवन प्रकाशा।
जेहि ते जोगी जगत निराशा।।१८९।।
Wind was born first after the consciousness pronounced the divine word, followed by the light. Those ones who understand this, only get rid of Maya, the Universe, Worldly Materialistic Elements.
श्वासा पवन माॅंह ते होई।
हे शिष अकल अत्व गति सोई।।१९०।।
The breath originates from the wind. This breath has a speed that cannot be analysed, and it is continuous, never stopping.
सुरति माॅंह आवै नहीं रति न रहा ठहराइ।
ऐसे मतो अलेख को क्यों करि जान्यो जाइ।।१९१।।
In the state where the One True God, Alakh, exists, that state cannot be achieved by the senses. That state cannot be achieved with the perception of mind, neither does it stays in the form of emotions. Thus there is no possible way by which Alakh can be knowned.

घट पर उभय विनाश में वस्तु निरन्तर पाइ।।१९३।।
Once the body is destroyed, all its constituents are visible in the sky. Even if both the body and its constituents are destroyed, the true self, Aatman stays alive constantly, continuously.
श्वास समानो प्राण मो शब्द शब्द ठहराइ।
प्राण समानो प्राण मो ब्रह्मा ब्रम्ह महॅं जाइ।।१९४।।
Just as the breath stays inside body, establish the infinite presence of The Divine Word inside the consciousness. If this is accomplished, then the consciousness resides inside the One True God, the Creator.
हंस समानो हंस मो अविनाशी अविनाश।
काल समानो शून्य में निर्भय सदा निराश।।१९५।।
All the souls existing in this universe are a part of the one Supreme Soul. Similarly, the one Supreme soul resides in every soul. Just like the zero, which resides inside the time, the soul resides inside the zero as well, at that state, all the fear and emotions become zero.
पवन समानो पवन महॅं जीव शीव घर पाइ।
शीव निरंजन महॅं सदा सब विधि रह्यो समाइ।।१९६।।

When the Anahad sound (heartbeats) constantly reside inside the Indestructible one true God without any difference, only then the Indestructible one true God resides in oneself, understand this as truth equal to the Vedas.
नहीं दूरि नहिं निकट अति नहीं कहूॅं अस्थान।
वेदि पै दृढ़ गहि करै जपै सो अजपा जान।।१९९।।
The one who is truly chanting the uncounted chants, for that person the one true God is not too far, neither very near, nor does it have any location, that one person is keeping strong faith on the sacred knowledge and continuously chanting the uncounted chants. Only those can experience the presence of the One True God near them.

पर पीड़ा को सन्तत पावों।।२५६।।
If one naturally experiences compassion and feels the pain of others, they will always be aware of the suffering in the world.
संग कुसंग जानि ठहरावै।
सो विवेक श्रुति कहि गावै।।२५७।।
All the ancient scriptures sing about recognizing the company of the good and the bad, one should decide for oneself.
संग गहै कुसंग विसरावै।
यह विचार गहिलेइ सो पावै।।२५८।।
One who firmly holds to the thought of associating with good company and forgetting bad company, attains wisdom.
अब सतसंग जानि उर गहहू।
राम नाम रसना उच्चरहू।।२५९।।
Now, I am defining the meaning of true company, hold it in your heart and chant the name of Rama with your tongue.
धीरज सहज सन्तोष अमानी।
क्षोभ रहित दृढ़ आतमज्ञानी।।२६०।।
Patience, effortless contentment, humility, and freedom from disturbance, all these are the marks of a firmly self-realized being.
क्षमा शील रत अनघ उदासी।
अन-आशा आशा निशि नासी।।२६१।।
Forgiveness, good character, purity, detachment, and being free from desires, this is the way to true self-protection.
कपट कोटि कह जानि नशावै।
निर्भय प्रेम में रमि रमि धावै।।२६२।।
Recognizing and eliminating millions of forms of deception, one should run fearlessly toward love.
लाभ हानि नहिं उर कछु धरई।
अनुभव प्रकटी निरन्तर भरई।।२६३।।
One should not hold gain or loss in the heart. Instead, continuous experience of truth fills one completely.
समता शान्ति उदय नव नेहा।
सतगुरु वचन सार सोइ गेहा।।२६४।।
Equanimity, peace, and ever-new love arise in the heart where the true Guru’s words are firmly established as the essence of life.
शत्रु मिल लै रहै अकेला।
निज पराय परिहरि जग खेला।।२६५।।
The one who befriends even enemies and abandons the distinction between self and others is a true saint.
सब भूतन पर करै अनुग्रह।
सन्त संग यह शिष्य सुअग्रह।।२६६।।
The one who shows compassion to all beings and stays in the company of saints is the known to be having the right conduct.

जिन्ह देखा तिन्ह देखा नाहीं।
अनदेखा सो देखे माहीं।।२७२।।

जिन्ह लेखा तिन्ह लेखा नाहीं।
अनलेखा सो लेखेहि माहीं।।२७३।।

जिन्ह समुझा तिन्ह समुझा नाहीं।
अनसमुझा सो समुझे माहीं।।२७४।।

The supreme reality is unfathomable, beyond comprehension, omnipresent, and equal in all. Without the Guru’s grace, no one can attain liberation as described by Baba Kinaram.

The rainwater of Swati Nakshatra, just like the words of the true Guru, takes on distinct qualities depending on where it falls. Baba Kinaram says, if it falls on an elephant’s forehead, it turns into a pearl; if it falls on a snake’s head, it transforms into venom.

प्राण प्रतिष्ठा नाम लखि रामकिना तत्त्व ज्ञान।।२९३।।

विवेकसार विरच्यों तबै समुझी बुध जन राय।।२९४।।

सफराक्षत अंग सर तेहि तट कह्यौं बखानि।।२९५।।
In the city of Ujjain (Avantika), the sacred land at the feet of Lord Vishnu, on the sacred shore of Kshipra River (possibly), this was narrated and elaborated upon.

आत्म प्रकाश रामयश लहे हरन के त्रैशूल।।२९६।।

कहै समुझि दृढ़ कै गहै राम मिलेंगे ताहि।।२९७।।
The fruit of Sadhu Prasad as well as their experience is written in this Viveksaar. The one who recites it with understanding, strong will and belief will only achieve the company of Rama.
राम नाम सब कोई कहै रामहिं लखै न कोय।
रामकिना जो राम हित रूठि करै का कोय।।२९८।।
Everyone chants the name of Rama, yet no one truly perceives its true meaning. Baba Kinaram says if such a person gets upset and turns away from the false knowledge of Rama, perceiving it as truth, nothing can be done in such a case. Hence one is required to know the true meaning of Rama, which is possible by understanding, realizing and following the wisdom quoted in Viveksaar.
