卐 सत्यराम सा 卐 

शब्द दूध घृत राम रस, मथि करि काढ़ै कोइ । 

दादू गुरु गोविन्द बिन, घट घट समझि न होइ ॥ 

शब्द दूध घृत राम रस, कोई साध बिलोवणहार । 

दादू अमृत काढ़ि ले, गुरुमुखि गहै विचार ॥ 

घीव दूध में रमि रह्या, व्यापक सब ही ठौर । 

दादू वक्ता बहुत हैं, मथि काढैं ते और ॥ 

----------------------------------------- 

Truth will not be obtained from my talk – please understand this well. Nobody’s words can convey Truth. If a thorn gets embedded in your foot, you can use a second thorn to remove it; but once the thorn is out both become equally redundant. My words will not deliver Truth. but they can act like the thorn to remove the thorn of illusion of knowledge that you hold as your own. 

When this happens, my words will have served their purpose and become equally useless. Words, be they from anybody, do not convey Truth. But if words delete words; if words are erased; and if the mind is emptied so that words have no hold on it, then of itself the mind attains Truth; for Truth is nowhere outside It is within each one of us. 

Once the mind gives up its habit of Looking outward, Truth is not difficult to attain. As long as we look to gurus, we look outside; as long as we hold on to shastras, we are looking outward As long as we cling to the cognition of other’s words, that which is attained in the No-Word, silent states remains unknown.
