sai dekhta hu tumko sab roop mei
pata hu tumko har roop mei
par duniya ko ishara samjh na aya
ye hi to sai ne duniya ko dikhlaya
ki allaha bhagwan gurunanak isamasi sab ek hai
to ye insaan hi kya jo sabko alag maane
baba jo insaan tumhe maane aur badhe chote mei farak kare to wo insaan hi kya.....main to janta hu ki tum raja ko bhi raank bna do......aur raank ko raja.............baba bas ye hi hai ki jo insaan tumhe manta ho wo duniya ko ek hi nazar se dekhe.......kyuki baba aaj kal jo log khete hai ki jab samne wala hi galat hai to hum bhi galat kyu nahi ho sakte agar wo baba tumko mante hai to wo ye bhi jane ki agar unhone tumhara daman thama hai to wo tumhare sahare rahe kyuki mujhe is bt ka andaaza hai ki tum apne bhakt ke hit mei hi hote ho aur use bchate ho aur neki ki rha bhi tum hi dikhate ho............................

>>> PARAMAHAMSA BABAJI MEETS HIS DISCIPLE <<<
…An austere sannyasi approached Paramahamsa Babaji and again and again offered dandavat obeisances at his feet.
Then the humble babaji began to weep: Saying, “O Lord Caitanya, O Lord Nityananda, please be merciful upon me, a fallen soul."
Then the sannyasi said to the saintly babaji, “O master, I am very lowly and fallen. Why, imitating my actions, do you mock me in this way?" Then, taking the dust of the babaji's feet, the sannyasi sat down before him.
Giving the sannyasi a tree-bark sitting place, and then sitting beside him, the humble Paramahamsa Babaji, his words choked with spiritual love, said, "O master, I am a fallen soul. How may I serve you?"
Setting down his kamandalu, the regal sannyasi respectfully folded his hands and said, "O master, I am very unfortunate. I studied the sankhya, patanjala, nyaya, vaisheshika, purva-mimamsa, and uttara-mimamsa philosophies. I studied the Vedanta, Upanishads, and many other scriptures also. I traveled on pilgrimage to Varanasi and many other holy places. I spent much time debating with others the meaning of the scriptures.”
“It is twelve years now since I accepted a sannyasi danda from Srila Saccidananda Sarasvatipada. After I accepted the danda I spent my time always traveling to all the holy places. Wherever I went in Bharata-varsha I always associated with the sannyasi followers of Shankaracarya. Passing through the stages of kuticaka, bahudaka, and hamsa, after a few days I attained the stage of paramahamsa, then I stayed always at Varanasi.
Observing a vow of silence, I took shelter of the sayings `aham brahmasi' (I am Brahman), `prajnanam brahma' (Brahman is consciousness), and `tat tvam asi' (You are that), which Shankara declares are the maha-vakyas (most important statements of the scriptures).
Then one day a saintly Vaisnava singing songs about Lord Hari's pastimes came before me. Opening my eyes wide, I gazed at him. He was bathed by the tears flowing from his eyes, and the hairs of his body stood erect in ecstasy. In a choked voice he chanted, `Sri Krsna Caitanya! Prabhu Nityananada!' Again and again he danced with faltering steps. Sometimes he fell to the ground.
As I gazed at him and heard his song, my heart became filled with love, a love I have no power to describe. Even though I became filled with love, I followed the rules of paramahamsa life and I did not speak a word to him.
I am pathetic, my rules of paramahamsa life are pathetic, and my so-called good fortune is also pathetic. Why did I not speak to him?”
"Since that day my heart has been irresistibly drawn to the feet of Sri Caitanya. I became very agitated. I spent many days searching for that Vaisnava, but I did not see him anywhere.
When I saw that Vaisnava and heard the Holy Names from his mouth I became filled with a pure and sacred bliss. Before that time I did not know that such a bliss existed anywhere. I did not think it was possible for a human being to experience such bliss.
After some days of thinking I decided that it would be best for me to take shelter of the feet of a Vaisnava. Then I left Varanasi and went to Sri Dhama Vrindavana.
There I saw many Vaisnavas. Every one of them was calling out the names `O Sri Rupa! O Sri Sanatana! O Sri Jiva Gosvami!' and lamenting. They were all meditating on Sri Sri Radha-Krishna's pastimes and, in voices choked with love, calling out the name of Navadvipa.
From that moment I have yearned to see Navadvipa. After a 168 mile journey from Sri Vraja-dhama, I arrived in Mayapura a few days ago.
In Mayapura town I heard of your glories, so now I have come to take shelter of your feet. Please be merciful to me, accept me as your servant, and give my story an ending that is good."
Weeping again and again, and humbly placing a blade of grass between his teeth, the saintly paramahamsa said, "O saintly sannyasi, I am very unfortunate. I fill my belly, I sleep, I speak useless gossip. In this way I have wasted my life.
Now I pass my days in the place where Sri Krsna Caitanya enjoyed His pastimes. Still, I have no power to taste what is true love for Lord Krsna.
The Saintly Sri Prema Dasa Babaji said to this sannyasi: “You are fortunate. Gazing at a Vaisnava, for a moment, you tasted that love. You have received the mercy of Lord Krsna Caitanya. If, when you taste pure spiritual love, you once remember this fallen person, my life will be a great success.”
Speaking again and again in this way, the saintly babaji tightly embraced the saintly sannyasi and bathed him with the tears flowing from his eyes. Touched by a Vaisnava, the saintly sannyasi felt an emotion he had never known before. He danced and wept.
As he danced, he sang this verse:
jaya shri-krishna chaitanya shri prabhu nityananda
jaya shri-prema-dasa guru jaya bhajana ananda
Glory to Sri Krishna Chaitanya! Glory to Lord Nityananda! Glory to my spiritual master, Sri Prema-dasa! Glory to the bliss of devotional service!
