Did Sant Kabir give knowledge of Bhagavad Gita
Ugra Gita: The Divine Knowledge of Bhagavad Gita in Kabir Sagar
Introduction Ugra Gita, a sacred discourse found within Kabir Sagar, is a profound dialogue between Sant Dharamdas Ji and Supreme God Kabir. This conversation unveils the deeper meaning of the Bhagavad Gita, highlighting the ultimate spiritual truth as revealed by God Kabir. According to Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, Ugra Gita clarifies the hidden mysteries of the Gita, exposing the deception of Kaal and guiding seekers towards true salvation.
Context and Purpose of Ugra Gita
Sant Dharamdas Ji, an earnest devotee, had certain preconceived notions about the divine status of Krishna and Vishnu. However, his understanding of spiritual truth was challenged when God Kabir revealed the actual essence of the Bhagavad Gita, exposing the limitations of Krishna and the influence of Kaal. This discourse is a critical revelation of the Bhagavad Gita’s concealed meanings, providing clarity on the true path to liberation.
Key Teachings from Ugra Gita
Reincarnation and the Impermanence of Krishna
- Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 2, Verse 12 & Chapter 4, Verse 5) states that Krishna himself admits to multiple births, proving that he is not eternal.
- Ugra Gita emphasises that there exists an immortal Supreme God who is beyond birth and death, distinct from Krishna.
The Identity of the Supreme God
- Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 8, Verses 1-10) describes the Supreme God as the eternal, divine entity who resides in the ultimate abode, Satlok.
- Krishna acknowledges that this Supreme God is separate from him, directing seekers towards His devotion.
- "O Krishna, You have spoken of the Supreme Brahm. You have described the nature of the soul and the material world. O giver of knowledge, please clarify their distinctions for me, as I am of limited understanding." (Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 8, Verses 1-2)
- "The Supreme Brahm is known as the eternal, imperishable entity who has created all universes. Worship Me, and you shall attain Me without doubt." (Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 8, Verses 5, 7)
- "Wherever one’s desires reside, there their soul shall dwell. Whatever one remembers with mind, speech, and actions, that they shall attain." (Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 8, Verse 6)
- "The one who is eternal and indestructible, worshipping Him leads to the ultimate abode. Just as the sun shines in the sky, so does the Supreme Being reside in the eternal realm of truth. Whoever worships Him attains liberation and never returns to the cycle of birth and death." (Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 8, Verses 8-10)
The True Mantra for Salvation
- Gita (Chapter 8, Verse 13) mentions "Om" as the mantra for salvation, but Ugra Gita elaborates that "Om" alone is insufficient.
- "My mantra is ‘Om’ alone." (Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 8, Verse 13)
- "But the mantra ‘Om Tat Sat’ is the true and complete one." (Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 17, Verse 23)
The Deception of Kaal
- Gita (Chapter 18, Verses 62 & 66) reveals that Krishna himself directs Arjuna towards another God for ultimate salvation.
- "O Arjuna, surrender to Him. He is the Supreme God, the saviour and liberator." (Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 18, Verses 62, 66)
- Ugra Gita exposes that the speaker of the Bhagavad Gita is Kaal, who has misled souls into worshipping him instead of the Supreme God.
The Illusion of Idol Worship and Rituals
- God Kabir highlights that idol worship, fasting, and rituals like shraddh (ancestral offerings) are futile and do not lead to salvation.
- The story of Sage Ruchi, narrated in Ugra Gita, exemplifies how performing ancestral rituals traps souls in the cycle of rebirth rather than liberating them.
The Importance of a True Guru
- Gita (Chapter 4, Verse 34) states that divine knowledge can only be attained by approaching a Tatvadarshi (knower of the absolute truth) Saint.
- "Understand this knowledge from a true Saint, for in it lies the proof of the absolute truth." (Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 4, Verse 34)
- "He who speaks this knowledge himself enables complete liberation." (Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 4, Verse 32)
Freedom from Sin and Rebirth
- "All sins are destroyed, and one is freed from the cycle of birth and death. Find a Tatvadarshi Saint and seek the ultimate abode, where no one returns from once they reach it, the Creator of this entire cosmic tree." (Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 15, Verse 4)
The Revelation of Supreme God Kabir
Throughout the Ugra Gita, God Kabir gradually reveals His true identity, proving that He is the Supreme Creator who has descended to guide His devotees. He challenges the misconceptions propagated by Kaal and exposes how even Krishna was under Kaal’s influence. By clarifying the essence of the Bhagavad Gita, God Kabir instructs Sant Dharamdas Ji to abandon false beliefs and embrace true devotion.
Conclusion Ugra Gita serves as an eye-opener for sincere seekers of truth, dispelling spiritual ignorance and providing a direct path to salvation. Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj's teachings align perfectly with Ugra Gita, proving that Supreme God Kabir is the ultimate saviour. Those who seek liberation must recognise this divine truth and adopt the worship prescribed by the true Guru. Only then can one escape the bondage of Kaal and attain the eternal bliss of Satlok.
