Santmat
has certain ethics and avoidances, which are
the must for followers/suitors of Santmat ,for the contentment, and spiritual
progress of soul, to be absorbed with God.
Vegetarianism is the very first ethic to adopt, it is saying that[ jaisa khaie ann taisa hoe mann]
To eat
the flesh of animals turns the sagacity of brain like animals. [As animals
can’t remember, invoke, mediate upon God] the person who eat meat can’t mediate
upon.
So this
is the first big hurdle in remembrance of God, one who is non veg. can’t do sumiran,
bhakti of God, and without simran of 5 Naam, which is got from poora Guru [ the perfect teacher, sant ] one can’t attain
purity of soul for union with Satpurush. [kabir sahib says;- kaam krodh madh lobh visaro madh maas
mithia taz daro ] Veg. also integrate the Ahinsa, it can never be
justified to assassinate any other creature for one’s own food. If anyone do so
that is liable for punishment, there is no man made courts for judgement, God
is only judge who justify well and punishes suitably.
Purity of character, is a must on the path of Santmat which leads to
Sachkhand [Dargah] [Kabir sahib says;-per nari ke rachne sidha hi narke jae
tin ko jam chhode nahi le jasi pat guwae ]
means in close proximity of male/female with other women/men drives a
person towards hell, which is inevitable after intimacy with others.
Husband/wife is only exception in Santmat that is only even for offspring/next
gen., all others are like brothers /sisters of equal age, and all other are
like father/mother of above one’s age. High thinking simple living, being
honest in social life, believable trustworthy to God, should be the ethics of a
person who love God and desirous of spiritual progress.
Drinking of wine, whisky, alcohol, madhira /madh, intoxicants should be avoided. It deteriorates
the health and maligns the senses of brain and mind; takes a person out of
senses, one can do every kind of sin, impiety, evil under its [wine’s]
dominance. It is a drink for devils not for deities and human being. One has to
be purest to union with God.
Telling a lie, is also impurity for mind and wisdom, lie deviates one from target to
achieve purity of soul which a must for meditation, hence it should be avoided.
To usurp/grab others depository, to deny one’s right forcibly, treat unjustly,
deception, deceit, dissimulation, fraud, is hurdle in the path of spirituality progress to attain
Peace,[ khush khush
laenda hai vastu prayi,dekhe sune tere naal khudai ….Adi granth sahib ]
snatching other’s wealth/article God
watch your every moment/act, He will punish, hence it should also be avoided
from irrespectable act.
Censure, is the
greatest sin, evil, peccancy, immoral crime which is out of regards for self
respect, has no taste. It hurts the heart, It creates contradiction, confusion,
hatred, malice in the minds of one another who is be victimised. So avoid this
tasteless, immoral, no forgivable, offence.
