Who is real saint?

It is not necessary that a saint or exalted soul should come into limelight and should be called or recognized as such. On the other hand, of those celebrated saints who are called and recognized as such real saints are few and far between. Real saint are exalted souls are they who see God everywhere and who perceive everything and every living being to be no other than God.

Real saint or exalted souls cannot be recognized through outward characteristics. They cannot be weighed on the scales of mundane intellect ridden by ignorance any more than a diamond on the scales used for weighing huge logs of wood or blocks of stone. Nevertheless it is perfect true that getting attuned with God, the mind, intellect and senses of a saint or exalted soul are completely sublimated. Hence a saint or exalted soul has no attachment nor hankering for sense enjoyment nor does he claim anything in the world of senses as his own. Service to God alone, the holiest of the body, continues to be performed as a matter of course by his mind, intellect and senses.

In the eyes of a saint or exalted soul the world of matter

does not exist in the form we see it. Hence he remains established forever in the absolute divine essence, which completely transcends the dualities of the world. He is never moved by any worldly gain or loss, joy or sorrow. He never gets perturbed or delighted; he never feels worried nor does he hanker after anything. He remains ever equipoise and is ever unaffected in the natural course, His heart is nonetheless naturally very tender; though harder than adamant in the midst of the greatest calamity appearing to befall his own self, he is softer than a flower in others’ distress. He melts under stress or the slightest agony experienced by another and sets about relieving his or her distress like one attached. Honour and ignominy are of little account in the eyes of a saint or exalted soul. He neither seeks honour nor does he fear ignominy. Remaining free from pride as a matter of course, he nevertheless bestows honour on others. Though risen wholly above the concepts of good and evil, he remains spontaneously engaged in doing good to others. He is incapable of doing an ill turn to another in the same way as nectar is incapable of killing anyone; nay he conduces to the good of all in the same way as all get light and heat from the sun.

A saint or exalted soul imparts instruction to the world, not by his speech but by his very life. Every movement of his or her naturally serves as a means of relieving the sufferings of the world; weaning the world from evil ways it puts men on the right track and is helpful in attaining blessedness, the great goal of our life. Even lakhs of artistic speeches delivered by men who are attached to the world are not so effective as the silent speech of an exalted soul. In fact there can be no comparison between a mere lip sermon and a sermon crystallized in one’s very life.

It is exceedingly difficult to get hold of a saint or exalted soul. Even if we meet one it is most one it is most difficult to recognize him or her. Yet even such a casual meeting does not go in vain. Even as fire burns no matter whether it is make consciously or unconsciously, and even as contact with nectar brings a dead body back to life, whether it is made consciously or unconsciously, so does one’s meeting with a saint or exalted soul, whether it is brought about consciously or unconsciously, burn away one’s sins and affliction and confers immortality in the shape of final beatitude. Although it is not easy to recognize a saint or exalted soul, you should understand that for your purposes indeed a saint or exalted soul is he whose fellowship reduces your attachment to sense-enjoyment and enhances your love for God, eradicates your demoniac propensities and implants divine virtues in you and, weaning your mind intellect from sense-enjoyment, turns them towards God.

An exalted soul neither proclaims nor advertises his sainthood. His very existence is naturally conducive to the good of the entire living creation. No matter whether  he comes into limelight or not, whether he comes into limelight or not, whether people come to know him or not, divine virtues and God-consciousness emanate from him in the same way as fragrance naturally emanates from a garden of fragrant flowers.
