Sacred Bhandara: Recalling Guru Bachans {43.}

Sacred Bhandara: Recalling Guru Bachans {43.}
****
Radhasoami!

Only Internal Ascent Is Meaningful.
****

Yeh desh Santon ne swapn mathr bayan kiya hai. Yani jaise aadmi so gaya, tho bas sab gayab hai. Isi tarah aage ke rasthe ka insaan ko kuchh nahin patha.... Jo sachha Naam aur sachha Shabda ho raha hai aur sachha Guru jo us rasthe par chala hua hai, jiske sab pat khule hue hain, uska dhyan kiya jaave aur sachha Shabad suna jaave, tab rastha thay ho sakega. So jab thak yeh abhyaas na kiya javega, kaam nahin banega. Baahar yani jagrath awastha ki karrawayi se kuchh nahin banega.”

---- Param Guru Huzur Sarkar Saheb Ji; Bachan Bhag I, No. 21, Page 166.

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“The Saints have described this world to resemble a mere dream. That is, as soon as one sleeps, it all just vanishes. In like manner, the human knows nothing about the journey into the beyond.... The chanting of the true Name and the listening to the true Sound and the true Guru, whose channels are all open, if He is meditated upon and the true Sound were to be heard, then can the path be traversed. So, until this meditation is practised, it will be of no avail. Nothing can be achieved from external or wakeful activities.”

Radhasoami!
