The Spiritual Revolution

When Kirpal Singh was asked, who would be His Spiritual Successor, He replied:

I wish you all to become ambassadors of Truth.

So, if we meet someone who has at least a clean causal body – Sadh¹ –, we can naturally contact in His presence the Holy Sound-Current.

The Master-Power never dies. He may leave the body, as anyone else does, but He is more than a mere body. He is an ideal, a living Sound Current or a Life-Principle that gives Life and Light to the entire world – out of this it is said, that Kirpal Singh guides the souls of the sincere seekers after Truth within and His Gurumukhs and Khalsas are His ambassadors of Truth.

After His passing away one may derive benefit from the Satsang conducted by a Gurumukh Who is carrying on the duties of the Guru, and may consult Him in case he has some difficulty.

Inspite of the well-known and often-quoted dictum that Bani – Shabd or Word – is the Guru, implying thereby that there was no need of Gurus thereafter, the Gurus carried on the work of initiating people; and even today the Khalsa – Pure One – with perfect, resplendent Light within is authorised to carry on the work of Spiritual Instruction and guidance to seekers after Truth.

Kirpal Singh said:

So springtime is upon us now; there will be more fragrant Saints, I would say now, Who will come up and give us through the Grace of God, a contact with the God-into-Expression-Power. And this is the revolution, the Spiritual Revolution, which is coming up – an awakening all around.

And further:

After my physical departure I will not stand behind any organisation, founded in my name. If so, it will be their own destiny. 

Kirpal Singh

Explanation: 1) A Sadh is One Who has gone beyond the region of Trikuti – Onkar – which is the same as Lahut in the Sufi terminology and Hu in Islamic theology. He has witnessed the spirit in its pristine Glory, after having rid it of all coverings, and is now Trigunatit – beyond the three gunas: satva, rajas and tamas, in which all human beings work according to their natural and native instincts; beyond the five elements – earth, water, fire, air and ether, of which the physical world is composed; beyond the twenty-five prakritis (see below) – the subtle forms in varying degrees of the elements; and beyond also mind and matter. In short, He is an adept in self-knowledge, or the art and science of the spirit, and can, at will, disengage the spirit from various koshas – sheats or caskets – in which it is enclosed like a priceless gem. The greatness of a Sadh lies beyond the three gunas – as He is Trigunatit. By a process of self-analysis, He – a Sadh – has known the self or spirit in its Real Form – to wit that it is of the same essence as God; and now He strives for God-Knowledge.

The 25 prakritis: 1. The element earth and the corresponding 5 prakritis – bones, flesh, skin, veins, hair. 2. The element water and the corresponding 5 prakritis – ojas power (vital fluid); blood, fat, urine, saliva. 3. The element fire and the corresponding 5 prakritis – hunger, thirst, sleep; personality; laziness. 4. The element air and the corresponding 5 prakritis – running, walking, smelling; contracting, expanding. 5. The element ether and the corresponding 5 prakritis – wishes, anger, shyness, fear, amorousness.
