Identification of a True Saint<br />
165<br />
There is evidence in Vedas, Gita <strong>Ji</strong> etc Holy Scriptures that<br />
whenever there is decline of virtues and an uprise of sins and the<br />
form of the path of bhakti is distorted by the contemporary saints,<br />
mahants, and gurus, at that time, God either by coming Himself or<br />
by sending His most knowledgeable saint again establishes the<br />
virtues by means of the true knowledge. He explains the path of<br />
bhakti according to the scriptures. His identification is that the<br />
contemporary religious gurus stand in his opposition, and by<br />
misleading the king and the people, inflict atrocities on Him. Kabir<br />
Sahib <strong>Ji</strong> says in His speech that —<br />

His speech that the saint of mine who will tell the path of true bhakti,<br />

Second identity: That saint is a complete knower of all the<br />
religious texts. Evidence in Satguru Garibdas <strong>Ji</strong>’s speech —<br />
“Satguru ke lakshan kahoon, madhure baen vinod ⎜<br />
Chaar ved shat shastr, kahae athaara bodh ⎜⎜”<br />
Satguru Garibdas <strong>Ji</strong> Maharaj is telling the identity of a<br />
Complete Saint in his speech that he will be a complete knower of<br />
all the four Vedas, six shastras, eighteen Purans etc i.e. he will explain<br />
their essence. It is written in Yajurved Adhyay 19 Mantra 25, 26<br />
that he will elaborate the incomplete sentences of the Vedas i.e. the<br />
coded words and one-fourth shloks by completing them, and will tell<br />
the pooja of three times. In the morning, pooja of Purna Parmatma;<br />
in the afternoon, regard of the gods of the world, and will tell Sandhya<br />
Aarti (evening prayer) separately. He is a beneficent saint of the
