Their is no religion, faith or belief HIGHER than the "direct praise and sermon of this One Unseen God". This is the True Way and the only reason for human existence....to find this One Unseen God and praise HIM Only, None Other.
Great Idea. But only those who are spiritually blessed can go on this path. Others Need Guru, in mortal (mostly) or knowledge Form!
There are some Giant corporations like Microsoft, Reliance, Tata etc. Lets see Tata, a group of more than 100 companies, if each and every employee start approaching Mr. Ratan Tata for all small and Big issues, Then what will be left for such a giant force of GM’s, AGM’s, VP’s, Hundreds of Managers. If there is small operational issue, lots of officers are there to handle, Mr. Ratan Tata is supposed to be in strategic decisions and not for small break downs of machinery to appointment of a Junior officers, such operational and administrative issues.
Now Just think Big, If Mr. Ratan Tata is not supposed to interact with some thousands or Lakhs of employees. (Impossible for a Human in normal conditions) How We Can think God, who is handling infinite number of planets, with infinite numbers of creatures in different forms can be approached by all. (He Can, But Why should, Then what purpose will left of this all existence of Mankind and other life forms, their Karmas.......) Although Thy technology is much more advance, Like in good tech savvy company all machines are connected to central server, so anytime can know status of machine, Many Times It happened IT Admin knows who is chatting on system, Who is just playing on line card games, Who is on web mails etc. etc. (Poor users usually don’t know that there each activity is being monitored and recorded), In God World, CFO Chitrgupt (Or can take a different system, whatsoever like) take care of all such records. Same at par what Bible Says. People keep on committing Sins without even thinking that their each and every act is being monitored.
To Get promotion there are two ways, Do Good i.e. deliver excellent result (In Politics of office, some times might be difficult, But if are good, than opportunity itself will find you for some other Senior Place in other company) or wait for time, after every three or five years as per company’s policy get promotion.
If Do Good Karmas, God Contact thyself through any source (God can not be contacted, Invisible, Can not be seen, so how can be found).
Why We Praise Sai Baba or other Gurus. Interesting. When We Praise, Our Heart gets attached emotionally with that strongest form of Lord and gets healed. Like charging a mobile set. We Praise for our own benefit. What makes difference to him whom whole universe is praising. We are not more than bubble of water, Today exist, tomorrow disappears. Don’t know what breath will become the last breath.
In my Life, I have seen and listen only two (Might be more) excellent praise for God. One is in the form of Aarti compiled with divine words of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Ravi Dass Ji, Kabeer Ji, Sant Sainji, Sri Dhanaji and Guru Gibind Singh Ji.
It is what I think. Guru is must to know to concentrate mind and spirit to God. Unseen God can not be known without the knowledge given by Guru or God or being life Transformed. Might agree or might not. God ki kahani to God hi jane. Hum to sirf ek andaja hi laga sakte hai.
Jai Sai Ram!

The Aarti
Gagan mah thaal, Rav-chand Deepak baney
Taarka mandal Janak Moti
Dhoop maliaanlo Pavan chavaro karey
Sagal Banrai phoolant jyoti
Which means:
The Sky is Your platter,
The sun and moon are the ‘Deepaks’ the lamps (lights),
The Stars in the sky are the pearls,
The ‘Dhoop’ (Incense) is the fragrance,
That the wind propels,
The whole forest is Your flowers.
Kaisee Aarti hoi Bhaykandana Teree Aarti
Anhata Shabad Vajanta bheree
Which means:
O! What a wonderful Aarti, this is!
You, are a destroyer of Fear,
The sound of Your Name, which is so subtle, that It goes unheard,
Resounds endlessly.
Sahas Tav Nain na na
Nain hai Tohey kau
Sahas moorat Nana Ik Tohee
Sahas Pad Bimal Na na
Ik Pad Gandh bin
Sahas Tav Gandh Iv
Chalat Mohee
Sabh Mah Jot Jot Hai Sohee
Tis Dat Chaanan Sabh Mah Chaanan Hoi
Gur Sakhi Jot Pragat Hoi
Jo Tis Bhaavey So Aarti Hoi
Which means:
You have a thousand eyes, forms, feet, noses…And you have none…
I am charmed!
Your Light enlightens all!
It is by the Grace of the Guru that the real Light (Knowledge) Manifests.
What pleases the Almighty is this Aarti (Creation)
Har Charan Kamal Makrand Lobhit Mano
Ana Din Mohey Aayey Pyaasa
Kirpaa Jal Dey Nanak Sarang Kau
Hoi Jaatey Terey nai Vaasa
Which means:
I yearn for Your Lotus feet,
Night and day,
Nanak is like the thirsty bird that asks,
For a drop of water,
From You O Lord!
That drop (Grace) will make Nanak find comfort,
In the uttering of Your Name.
(The next part of the Aarti is a composition by Sri Ravidasji)
Naam Tero Aarti Majan Muraarey
Har Kay Naam Bina Joothey Sagal Pasaarey
Naam Tero Aasno Naam Tero Ursaa
Naam Tero Kesro Lay Chhitkaarey
Naam Tera Ambhula Naam Tero Chandno
Ghas Japey Naam Lay Tujahee Kau Chaarey
Naam Tera Deeva Naam Tera Baatee
Naam Tero Tel Lai , Maahee Pasaarey
Naam Terey Kee Jyot Lagaayee
Bhaiyaa Ujiyaaro Bhavan Saglaarey
Naam Teraa Taagaa Naam Phul Maalaa
Bhaar Athaarah Sagala Joothaarey
Tero Keeyaa Tujhahee kyaa arpau
Naam Tera Tuhee Chavar Dhulaarey
Das Atha Atha Sathey Chaarey Khaanee
Ehay Vartan Hai Sagal Sansaare
Kahay Ravdaas Naam Tero Aartee
Sat Naam Har Bhog Tuhaarey
Sant Ravidasji says that:
O Lord, Your name is the Aarti,
Your name is the Flower, the saffron, and the sandalwood
That is offered to You.
Your Name is the (Deeya)
The Lamp, the oil and the cotton
That is lighted in it.
With the Light that Your Name gives out,
The whole world is brightened.
Your Name is the Thread and Your Name is also
The Flowers that are strung into that thread.
All that I offer to You is Yours.
Your Name is the flywhisk, that you use,
The (Chant of Your) True Name,
We offer to You,
All is false except Your Name!
(The following part of the Aarti is composed by Sant Sainji)
Dhoop Deep Dhrit Saaj Aartee
Vaarney Jaau Kamlapati
Mangalaa Har Mangalaa
Nit Mangal Raaja Raam Raaiko
Uttam Deeyaraa Nirmal Baatee
Toohee Niranjana Kamlaapati
Raam Bhagat Raamaananda Jaaney
Pooran Paramaananda Bakhaaney
Madana Moorata Bhay Taarey Govindey
Sain Bhanay Bhaj Paramaananda
The Aarti is adorned by the lighted lamp
And the fragrance of the incense.
All is Auspicious.
Thou art the Supreme and Pure Light.
Thou art the Lord of the Goddess of Wealth.
My obeisance to Thee.
And to the Lord Rama, Beautiful Govinda,
Who is described as Replete Pure Bliss!
Sain prays to Thee, Who obliterates all Fear.
(The following part is composed by Sant Kabir)
Sun Sandhyaa Teree Dev Devaakar
AdhPati Aadee Samaayee
Sidh Samaadhee
Anta Naheen Paayaa
Laagee Rahey Sarnaayee
Leho Aartee Ho Purakh Niranjan
Satguru Poojo Bhaai
Thaada Brahmaa Nigam Bichaarey
Alakh Na Lakhiyaa Jaayee
Tat Tel Naam Keeyaa Baatee
Deepak Deh Ujiyaaraa
Jyot Laayee Jagadeesha Jagaaiyaa
Boojhey Boojhana Haaraa
Panchey Sabada Anaahada Baajey
Sangey Saaringa Paanee
Kabeer Daas Teree Aartee Keenee
Nirankaar Nirbaanee
Which means:
Dear Lord!
The Greatest of Yogis have not been able to comprehend You,
Those who worship the Unmanifest,
Fail to realize You.
Even though they have persevered in their quest.
Your Name resounds unheard (By the worldly)
And only He can hear (On who Your Grace descends)
Pray to Your satguru!
Almighty Lord!
Accept the Aarti, with the oil, Lit with the Chant of Your Name,
By You, the Lord of the Universe!
Kabirdas performs the Aarti of the ‘Beyond Description’ and the ‘Without Form’
(The following part is composed by Sri Dhanaji)
Gopaal Teraa Aartaa
Jo Jan Teree Bhagat Karantey
Tin Key Kaaj Sanvaartaa
Dal Seedhaa Maangau Ghee
Hamraa Khusee Karey Nit Jee
Pania Chaadan Neekaa
Anaaj Maangau
Gau Bhais Maangau Laaveree
Ik Taajana Turee Changeree
Ghar Kee Geehanee Changee
Jan Dhanaa Levey Mangee
Gopaal Tera Aartaa
Hey Dayaal Teraa Aartaa
Which means:
O Gopaala, (Accept) your Aarti!
You grant the wishes of those who worship You!
I ask for my basic sustenance (food, oil, lentils, good quality grains)
Which makes me feel fulfilled.
I also pray for a good wife, good clothes, good grain, a horse, a cow…
The following has been composed by ‘Daswin Patshaahi, The 10th Guru: Gobind Singh Maharaj.
Yaa Tey Prasann
Bhayey Hain Mahaa Muni
Devan Key Tap Mein Sukh Paavey
Jag Karey Ik Ved Rarey
Bhav Taap Harey
Mili Dhyaan Hi Laavey
Jhaalar Taal Mrudanga Upanga

It means:
The Lord is pleased by the penance, prayers, rituals recitation of the Scriptures, Meditation, music, dance of the
Celestial Beings, adorned with vermilion, various musical instruments, Ringing of bells and the showering of
flowers, and the tune of the Aarti . The cosmic worlds rejoice and chant the Divine Name.
