Book III / VIII

Amrit: Who can get It

Out of millions of devotees, only a rare one who sits at the feet of a living Master gets contact with the elixir of life.

God alone grants the heavenly ambrosia, a rare soul out of myriads may get It. 

Guru Amar Das, Parbhati M3

Verily, verily the Amrit showers from above, But a rare devotee partakes of It, the mind blossoms forth and sings of His glory. 

Guru Amar Das, Asa M3

A devotee of the Master engages in the pursuit, and finds the Amrit and becomes truly blessed, oh Man! commune with the Naam day and night, thou shalt lose all impurities and become sanctified. 

Guru Nanak, Malar M1

The divine Amrit falls down in showers, a devotee through the Grace of the All-Pervading gets It.

Guru Ram Das, Asa M4

The enlivening story of God is truly sublime; we have had a taste of it through the words of the Master; Heaven's Light dawned, dispelling all darkness, just as sun chases away the night, the Invisible, the Indescribable, and the Unknowable, became manifest through the instructions of the Master. 

Guru Ram Das, Sri Rag War M4

It is bubbling over in Its fullness in the temple of the human body, but a man of the world cannot get access to It.

In the body lies the Fount of the Water of Life, but a sensual person cannot have a taste of It.

Guru Amar Das, Sorath War M3

I would make an offering of myself at the feet of my Master, who unraveled to me the great mystery, the world without the Water of Life is but a wasteland, and a worldly-wise man does not even know of It. 

Guru Nanak, Malar War M1
