Rationale for Prayer for Politics.
****

“Zyadathar yeh sawaal poocha jatha hai ki jab humare Radhasoami Dharma mein raajniti ko sarvtha tyagne ke Adesh Diye gaye hain, tho phir humse savere Satsang mein Maalik se raajniti sikhane ki prarthna kyon karwayi jathi hai ki
‘Rajniti sadh bhakti reethi, doyi Sikhayo humko.’
...
... Huzur Saheb Ji Maharaj ka ek Bachan padha gaya. Is Bachan mein Mussolini ki safalta ke char kaaran bathaye gaye hain. Satsang mein bhee yeh thatv maujood hai. Mussolini ki safalta ka chautha kaaran yeh tha ki wah ek nayi jathi wa nayi riyasath banana chahta tha. Humare liye yeh gun bahut mahatvapoorna hai kyonki Satsang bhee ek nayi riyasath wa nayi jathi ko janam dhe raha hai.
...
Humari is disha mein gathi dheemi bhale hee ho, par Humara kaam theek roop se zaari hai. Is naye rajya wa nayi jathi ko banane ke liye sirf bhakti reethi se hee kaam na chal sakega. Iske liye vishesh prakaar ka prabandh, vishesh prakaar ka manav charitra, aur vishesh prakaar ka vyavhaar shasak aur shasith ke madhya avashyak hai. In baathon ke liye raajniti avashyak hai ....”

---- Param Guru Huzur Lal Saheb Ji.

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“It is often asked that when Orders to completely eschew politics prevail in the Radhasoami Religion, why we are made to pray to the Lord in the morning Satsang every day to Teach us politics, as in
‘Rajniti sadh bhakti reethi, doyi Sikhayo humko.’
...
... a Bachan of Huzur Saheb Ji Maharaj was read out. This Bachan discussed the four causes for Mussolini’s success. The same factor exists in Satsang too. The fourth cause of Mussolini’s success was that he wanted to found a new race and a new empire. This trait is very significant for us because Satsang is also giving birth to a new nation and a new race.
...
Our pace in this direction may yet be slow, but Our work is continuing in the right manner. For the formation of this new nation and new race, the mere path of devotion will not suffice. For this, special arrangements, a special sort of character, and a special behavior between the administrators and the administered will be mandated. For these things, politics is necessary.”
