Teachings
of Sant Dariya
Satpurush
sends HIS son to the world to save the living beings from the clutches
of Kal. Sant Dariya
Saheb came to the world under the instructions of the Lord to save
Jivas.Satpurush came to
Dharkandha(a village in Bihar, India) to instruct Dariya Saheb. The
Lord enthroned Sant
Dariya and assured him to save the souls that followed his teachings.
Sant preached ahimsa(non-violence) against
all living beings.According to
him,unless lamp of kindness is lighted, the soul cannot find the path
that leads to the
Lord.
The teaching of Dariya Saheb is above sects,castes and
religions.People belonging to
any race,religion and caste can be benefited from His
teaching.According to the saint, all
the men and women are the creation of the Satpurush.One should love and
respect others as
one expects love and respect from others.Harsh words should not be
spoken.One should see
his own image in others.Sant preached love and devotion to the
Satpurush only.According to
Him no purpose is served by visiting places of pilgrimage if true
devotion to the Lord is
misssing.Sant preached against ritualism.The human body has all the
sixty eight
tirthas(places of pilgrimage). It is the true mandir/masjid in which
the Lord could be
discovered and worshipped.
- Satpurush is unborn,eternal,all-powerful, creator of
everything.He does not take birth and meet death.He is beyond
description.
- Jiva is the resident of Satlok .It has got entangled into
the snare of Kal and is wandering in samsar(world)
in different forms
- Satpurush sends Sadguru to the samsara
(world) to teach the misguided souls(Jivas).Only Sadguru knows the path
that liberates Jivas from the snares of Kal.Jiva, by following the
teachings of Sadguru, gets liberated and goes to his permanent abode,
that is satlok.
- Devotion to Satpurush alone can free the souls from the
clutches of kal.Worship to poly-gods, ghosts and other celetial
objects have been discouraged by the saint.
- Observance of rituals and wandering in places of pilgrimage
without true devotion to the Lord serve no purpose.
- One should take vegetarian food only.Eating of meat is
completely prohibited in his order.
- Sant has advocated two paths only for attainment of nirvan:
- Path of Knowledge,
- Path of Bhakti
(Devotion)
- Human birth is most precious and it should not be lost in
mere satisfaction of sensuous pleasures,accumulation of wealth and
wielding power.Human birth should be utilised for the realisation of
Pad-Nirvan (God).If this opportunity is lost, none can say when one
would be fortunate to get human birth again.Getting of human birth is
rare.
- One does not become high or low from his origion of birth.
By acquiring virtues and doing good deeds only, one becomes high .
- Like all other saints of Nirgun School, Dariya Saheb
discarded Avatarbad (Incarnation theory). He didnot
believe in the theory of Divine creation of four
classes of people as Brahman. Kshatriya, Vaisya and
Sudra .
- Jiva and Brahma are two different entities.Jiva takes
different forms(Rupas) in Samsar whereas
Brahma is beyond Samsar.Brahma is one while
Jivas are many.Jiva gets tainted by load of deeds and reaps the fruits
of his actions.Brahma is nirlep ( beyond getting
tainted).
