8. DEFINITION OF SANTMAT


1. ‘shânti’ is defined as stillness, equability, calmness, or motionlessness (of mind).

2. Those who have attained ‘shânti’ are called sants (‘saint’ is the word that comes closest in meaning to, though
not the exact translation of, the Sanskrit word ‘sant’).

3. The ‘mat’ (views, teachings or the virtuous ways) of ‘sants’ are known as ‘Santmat’.

4. The urge or impetus to acquire ‘shânti’ (peace) is so very natural to a human heart. Inspired by this very urge, the rishis/sages of ancient times, made all-out attempts in search of ‘shânti’ and described the ideas or ways to obtain it (‘shânti’) in Upanishads for the beneficence of common people. Sants such as Kabîr Sâhab, Guru Nanak Sâhab etc. also expounded thoughts or ideas resembling these (ideas expressed in the Upanishads) in their local languages or vernaculars such as Bhârtî (more popularly known as Hindi), Punjabi etc. These very ideas or thoughts are termed as ‘Santmat’.
However, the sacred verses of the Upanishads in particular have to be acknowledged as the basic foundation or the bedrock of the Santmat, for the loftiest wisdom and the precise principal means to attain that wisdom, ‘Nâdânusandhân’ or ‘surat shabd yoga’ (the subtler and the subtlest meditation technique of Santmat, in which the practitioner meditates upon numerous inner sounds and, ultimately, the Divine Sound/Vibration that springs directly from the God), in which Santmat takes utmost pride have been dazzling brilliantly eked or engraved on this very terra firma since times immemorial.
Because of the appearance of sants in different times and different geographical locales and because of different nomenclatures of Santmat sects by their respective enthusiastic followers in the honour of these sants, the views of sants might superficially appear to be different or separate from each other. However, if a dispassionate analysis of the views of all the sants is performed, discarding the chaff of sectarian thoughts and the grosser & outer drapes or coverings, and if the quintessence of the teachings of sants is gleaned or extracted, it would unequivocally emerge that there is an essential underlying unity in the views of all the sants.
