Ceaselessly Worship the Jealous Lord.
****


“Maalik bada Irshavan {Jealous} Hai. Waha Chahta Hai ki tumhare dil mein siwaay Uske aur koi na ho.... Jo har waqt chaubis ghanta Sumiran Dhyan mein rahta hai, uska tho kahna hee kya hai, lekin jo dho waqt sabere shaam har roz niyama ke saath sadhana karta hai, usko bahut zyada phayda hoga.... ki sansaar se upraam chith rahega .... Lekin har kisi ko ek waqt tho zarur sadhana karna hee chahiye. Agar koi ek waqt bhee sadhana nahin karta hai, tho waha Satsangi kahlane ka adhikari nahin hai.”


---- Param Guru Huzur Saheb Ji Maharaj; Bachan Bhag II, No. 204, Page 343.

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:


“The Lord is extremely Jealous. He Wants that none else should occupy your heart except Him.... The one who always, round-the-clock, remains engaged in Chanting the Name and Contemplation of the Form, it is just too good, but even someone who meditates twice daily, in the morning and evening, derives considerable benefit therefrom.... that will remain indifferent to the world .... But everyone should definitely meditate at least once daily. If one doesn’t meditate even once daily, then that person does not deserve to be called a Satsangi.”

The Effects of Others’ Company.
****

“Phir sohbath ke baare mein Farmaya ki iska bhee bada asar hotha hai. Ek aadmi ke andar se kaam, krodha, lobha, moha aur ahankaar in panch angon ki beshumar dhaaren har waqt bahar nikalti rahti hain aur uske gird ek ek dhaar ek halks banathi hai. Is tarah se sansari aadmi ki fawware ki manindh {tarah} sab gilazath {gandgi} bahar nikal rahi hai. Tho jo shakhs aise shakhs ki sohbath karta hai, us par us gande halke ka asar zarur padta hai. Lekin mahatma aur Sant jan ki Sohbath se bada phayda hotha hai, kyonki Unke andar se sheel, kshama, ki Dhaaren nikal rahi hain, jo roshan daayra {ghera} banathi hain ... Agar kahin bhaag se Sant ya saadh ki Sangath mil jaave, tho usse bada phayda hotha hai, kyonki Waha Nirmal Chetan Desh ke bhandar Hain. Unse jo Dhaaren nikal rahi hain, waha tho bahut hee roshan aur prakashwan hain aur bahut dhoor dhoor thak asar karti hain.”

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“Then Pronounced upon the subject of the company one keeps that it has great influence upon one. From everyone, the currents of lust, anger, greed, attachment and ego, umpteen rays of these five tendencies are every moment emerging out and creating an {aura or} energy-field around the person. In this manner, from a worldly person, like a fountain, such impurities keep sprouting forth.... So, whoever remains in the company of such a person, will definitely be susceptible to the adverse effects of such a dirty impact. But great benefit is derived from the company of the evolved souls and of the Saints, because from their beings, the streams of serenity and forgiveness flow out, forming a refulgent aura, ... If one is ever fortunate enough to attain the company of a Saint or a evolved soul, then one benefits incalculably therefrom, because They are the repositories of the Pure Spiritual Region. The currents that emanate from Them are extremely splendrous and shining and cause an effect up to considerable distances.”

Desirability of Awakening Soul’s Powers.
****

“Is baath ka khyal rakhna chahiye ki duniyan mein agar badshahath bhee mil jaave, tho waha bhee chandroza hai. Isse khushi asli nahin ho sakti hai. Farz karo ki ek shakhs badshah hai. Doosre shakhs ne tan man ke parey jo surat ki shakti hai, usko jagaya hai, jisse waha is zindagi mein bhee khush rahta hai aur marne ke baad bhee. Ab khyal karo ki jo badshah mahaz 10, 20, 50 saal badshahat karke khush rahta hai, aur doosra, jisne surat ki taakath jagayi hai, hamesha is zindagi mein wa baad marne ke bhee khush rahta hai, tho waha zyada khush hua ya badshah? Isliye tum sabko chahiye ki padhne ke saath saath apni surat ki taakath bhee jagane ki koshish karthe raho aur duniyan ke khushi ke samaan ke paane par magan nahin hona chahiye, yeh khyal karke ki yeh thehrau anand nahin hai ya ismein asal phayda humari rooh ka nahin hai.”

---- Param Guru Huzur Saheb Ji Maharaj; Bachan Bhag I, No. 13, Page 312.

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“It must always be borne in mind that even if one were to get kingship in the world, it would only be temporary. It cannot lead to true happiness. Suppose there is a king. Another person has awakened his soul’s powers, which are beyond the body or the mind, so that he gets happiness both in this life and in the hereafter. Now consider that the king who remains happy with his kingship for mere 10, 20, 50 years, and the other, who has awakened his soul’s powers, and remains happy both in life and even beyond it, so is he the happier person or the king? That is why you all should, along with your studies, continue trying to awaken your soul’s powers, and upon acquiring a worldly pleasurable object, you should not feel overjoyed, bearing in mind that the happiness it yields is not lasting, or that it doesn’t result in any real spiritual benefit for oneself.”

Superhumans: Children Nourished by Satsang.
****

“... if Satsangis and Satsangins hand over their children to Satsang right from the very beginning ... such children will naturally have love only for Satsang ... they will have a feeling in their hearts that they should serve Satsang.... If even one person ... invents such useful thing or provides such convenience as is beneficial to Satsang or to mankind and improves the financial condition of Satsang, then undoubtedly people will say that the race of Supermen has made a beginning in Satsang....”

Shunning Desires, Strive for Salvation.
****

“Radhasoami Math ka matlab yeh hai ki surat aur man ko oopar ki taraf chadhana aur aise mukaam par pahunchana jahan sachhi mukti ho.Tho jo log is math mein shareek hue hain, unko chahiye ki aisi chaal chalen aur aisi rahni rahen ki unko araam aur phayda mile. Aur jo log aisi chaal nahin chalenge, unko yeh phayda kabhi nahin mil sakta aur unmein aur sansaariyon mein kya pharak hoga? Parmarthi ko chahiye ki bhogon se hute, bhogon ki chaha dhoor kare aur Maalik se milne ka jathan shauk se kare.”

---- Param Guru Maharaj Saheb Ji; Bachan Part II, Page 76, No. 68.

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“The Radhasoami Faith means that the soul and mind are made to ascend upwards and located in a realm where true salvation occurs. So, those who have joined this Faith ought to regulate their behavior and lead such lives as get them comfort and benefit. Those who do not conduct themselves in such a manner can never acquire this benefit, and then what would be the difference between them and the worldly people? The spiritually inclined ought to keep themselves distant from pleasures of the sense organs, should renounce the desires for temptations, and must earnestly persevere to meet the Supreme Lord.”
