Radhasoami!
The world is full of billions
who profess to follow various religions.
Can people be regarded religious
merely because they subscribe to
certain mandated weltanschauung or beliefs?
Well, that might be deemed religiosity,
but not as I see it.
Religion begins with God
or the human soul.
Have you beheld God?
If not, then you're not religious.
You have seen your face,
you have touched your nose,
but have you experienced your own soul?
How can you profess to follow
a religion that teaches one how to
internally raise one’s soul’s heavenwards
if you haven’t even verified
that the soul exists within?
It’s like staking all you have
on a certain journey without confirming
that the touted train actually exists.
God is supposed to be reality,
so let God be realized within!
I think religion is becoming
mere words, words and words,
empty words, and meaningless words,
words bandied about for effect,
words sold for petty profits,
words hurled to cause injury.
Where are the loving words,
which guide, purge, heal, redeem?
So, help me God,
truly practice your religion.
“Dehu Deedaar dhoor kar purda /
Tab mero man maane.”
That is,
“Allow me to behold Your Countenance,
by Removing Your Veil,
only then shall I be satisfied.”
Please Grant me Your Darshan internally
and awaken my soul’s powers ... the fastest possible!
Radhasoami!
