God’s Miracles and Human Mind. {157.}

May Compassionate Radhasoami Shower His Grace

Radhasoami!

The human mind is quite central

to the occurrence of divine miracles

in two contrary ways.

Firstly, it is the mind that allows

one’s faith to leap across usual ‘reality’

propeled by desire, mystical insights and beliefs.

Finally, it is the mind

naturally attuned to

a perception and comprehension of

God’s inconceivable Grace and glories

that merits, causes and allows

the very occurrence of miracles.

But the mind thinks only because

the heart loves God

and the soul

yearns for its lost bliss

wedded to the Being

that existed before It sired creation.

The mystery is resolved

only when the self

awakens to God

by transcending its human ego.

Stirrings and Musings within Me. {156.}

Radhasoami!

****

Oh, help me, my Supreme Parent

arrive unto You at the earliest!

There are now stirrings within me

evoking words from a mystical well

too deep for me to fathom.

I feel I am steadily evolving

beyond disease, health, my very body,

into another aura sired by my resonating prayers

that can instantly heal or wreak

all that it pleases.

There is an intuitiveness  

manifesting through my mind

that knows every truth there is

the unalloyed truth

the whole truth

shorn of distortion or verbiage.

Every mystery now stands resolved

and every question implicitly answered.

I have met and mated with the truth

and she is God.

I am amazingly moving

beyond sleep and wakefulness

into a continuing trance

that permeates my living.

I am inexorably transcending

beyond life and death

into a loftier realm

where the twilight glows  

and the words infinity and eternity

have been fully realized.

I mock sorrow and joy alike

serene in a bliss that heralds

nascent paradise to me.

Like all life so far

this, too, shall soon pass

and the path ahead lit

by God’s growing potent Grace.

****

Radhasoami!

****

Yes, this is it,

quite tantalizingly close, anyway.

The whirl subsides,

the Beauty draws.

Mystically dancing by the very 

edge of limited human reality; 

as the ego gets beheaded,

I eerily slide off it,  

into the abyss that contains

heavens yielding their unalloyed truths.

The fulcrum that governs life,

the seat of the soul,

God’s aspect nascent within me,

face to face with God,

reborn into a functional force.

I transcend life’s measly bondage,

gliding among the eternal skies

of infinite awareness, consciousness, and

the bliss of reclaimed Home.

Choose Guru, Not the World.
****


“Sant Satguru ke saath preeti pratheeti karo. Wah sab duniyadaron aur duniya ke bakhedon se Chudawenge aur Apne mein preeti aisi Lagawenge ki jo param anand ko prapth karawegi. Duniya ke thagon ke saath preeti karo, tho wah aise sakht thaur se apne jaal mein jeeva ko jakad lenge ki marte waqt nihayath mushkil padegi.”


---- Param Guru Huzur Saheb Ji Maharaj; Bachan Bhag I, No. 100, Page 324.
****


Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:


“You should develop love for and faith in the Revered Leader. He Will Extricate you from the squabbles of the worldly people and the world, and Inspire devotion to Him in such a manner that you will attain unto ultimate bliss. If one harbors love for the frauds of the world, then they will so deeply entangle the living being in their traps that it will cause one immense difficulty at the time of death.”

Attaining Unalloyed Bliss, True Contentment.
****


“Sachha santosh tab avega jab surat aur man ko oonche deshon ke anand prapth honge aur jyon jyon oonche sthan ki chadhayi hothi javegi, usi kadar anand badhta javega aur Nij Desh mein poora santosh aur poora anand prapth hoga.”


---- Param Guru Huzur Maharaj Ji; Prashnothar, Guru Updesh, No. 59, Page 39.
****


Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:


“True contentment will come when the soul and mind partake of the bliss of the higher realms, and as ascent to the loftier regions keeps occuring, joy will correspondingly increase, and total bliss and complete contentment will be attained in the Original Abode.”

None of This is It. {127.}

None of This is It. {127.}
****

Radhasoami!

There’s something fractured and dissatisfactory
about life that is frustrating.

The best of experiences still lack
that certain something real, desired, meaningful.

Human language proves utterly inadequate
if one aspires to describe
the most sublime of experiences;
expression remains denied to me.

I cannot help constantly feeling
it’s on the other side;
call it God, reality, truth,
bliss, completeness, eternity, salvation, paradise.

Beyond the threshold of life,
across the embrace of death,
perhaps awaits my Supreme Parent,
I strive with that trust,
longing to transcendentally leap across.

Radhasoami!

Death is the Final Beloved. {126.}

Death is the Final Beloved. {126.}
****

Radhasoami!

The world is too unreal and perishable.

Life is too fractured and fleeting.

The self is one’s responsibility.

God alone is real, desirable and important.

One’s soul alone matters eternally.

Meditation is the most worthwhile activity possible.

The goal is one’s final salvation ensured.

Death is merely crossing over
from life into the afterlife.

Death is the only embrace that can
lead one to divine bliss,
if one has striven rightly
for redemption during one’s lifetime.

So, let my love for my Maker
daw me inexorably towards Him.

Ah, Death, my final beloved,
I long for your kiss.

Radhasoami!

Satsangis: Shun Jealousy, Harbor Love.
****

“Satsangiyon ki aapas mein preethi honi chahiye aur jo eersha rahi, tho kuchh anand Satsang ka nahin avega. Jo preethi hove, tho Satsang aur bhajan ka anand dekhne mein ave.”

---- Param Purusha Puran Dhani Huzur Soami Ji Maharaj;
The Holy Sar Bachan {Nasr}; No. 127, Page 114.
****

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“Satsangis should harbor love for one another and if there is envy, then there will be no bliss in Satsang. If love exists, then Satsang and meditation will yield joy.”

Soul Blissful in True Abode.
****

“Jab thak surat apne nij sthan ko na pavegi, sukhi nahin hogi. Is wasthe munasib hai ki sab jhagde chod kar apne ghar ka fikar karey, kyonki is nardehi mein ghar ka rastha mil sakta hai, abke chook theek nahin hogi.”

---- Param Purusha Puran Dhani Huzur Soami Ji Maharaj;
The holy Sar Bachan {Nasr}, No. 95, Page 103.
****

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“Till such time as the soul does not attain its true abode, it will not experience happiness. Therefore, it is appropriate that one ought to discard all other squabbles and worry about one’s own abode, because only the human form enables one the route to the abode, any lapse now would be foolish.”

Earnest Prayer to Radhasoami Dayal. {108.}

****
Radhasoami!

The Radhasoami religion teaches one
how to attain eternal bliss.

Satsangis ought to be shielded from sorrows,
and habitually bask in happiness.

Besides, I like good news,
even of others,
especially about Satsangis.

So, may Radhasoami Dayal Mercifully Accept
the following humble and sincere prayer
at His Lotus Feet from me:

Please Grant that I receive
only good news,
and preferably, very good news,
and even better good news,
about those who’re Your Own,
Your Chosen, Loved, and Beloved.

Let my living be interspersed with
such recurring, joyous, heartening good news.

Let the loneliness and barrenness
of my life be brightened,
with such soothing and satisfying good news.

Let this joy now become
my constant companion
until I achieve the eternal bliss
of final fusion in Your Being.

Radhasoami!

No Problem, Worry, Sorrow, Fear. {103.}

****

Radhasoami!

The human is a limited person,
shackled by various
imperfections and inadequacies.

However, let’s realize that
in the ultimate analysis,
there is no real cause for
any problem, worry, sorrow, or fear.

How can any problem exist
for the devotee, blessed recipient
of the Param Guru's Grace?

How can any devotee worry
knowing the Supreme Lord
Is Omniscient and Omnipotent?

How can any misery be
when the Guru showers bliss?

As the Paath {or hymn} lines affirm:
“Guru adbhut sukh dikhlaya /
Kya mahima jaaye na gaaya.”

That is.
“The Master has Granted me unique bliss /
I cannot even sing its glories.”

There need be no fear
for one Protected by the Param Guru.

So, laugh at your difficulties,
trusting in the Guru’s Grace and Help.

Life is a brief play;
let us make the best of it
with the Param Guru's Grace.

Radhasoami!

One Step At a Time. {45.}

****
Radhasoami!

Rome was not built in a day.
A long journey begins with one step.

Life may frequently seem difficult,
but clear thinking solves much,
aided by courage & one’s work.

Most people create their own problems,
& compound their already existing ones.

Most problems are created by
an abnegation of one’s responsibility.

Awake, & arise!
There is much awaiting to be done.

Desires are temptations, diversions, wasteful.
The realized one can remain satisfied
with wholity, renunciation, control.

There is the evolutionary spiral,
& backward movements are self-defeatist.

The mystical path exists internally,
which needs must be traversed.

Clarify, prioritize, & do it;
one step at a time.

It can be done;
eternal bliss awaits you!

Radhasoami!

Don’t Really Believe in God? {37.}

****
Radhasoami!

There’s a fantastic sale of
export quality woolens going on
at discounts of 50 percent.
Most people would go running
to share in the spoils.

Aishwarya Rai is in town
& to perform dance at a certain club.
Most people would rush to attend it.

For superficial profit,
for petty thrills,
people are willing to
put in such efforts!

Don’t we really believe in God,
in meditation as enabling internal ascent,
or in Gurubhakti as ensuring one’s salvation?

Indeed, it would quite appear
that we don’t really believe
in God, meditation & redemption,
otherwise we would obviously be
making serious, consistent & adequate
efforts in these crucial spheres.

People are willing to do so much
for their worldly possessions
or mere sensual desires.

If people really believed in God,
they would also meditate,
trusting the Guru Bachans
that the eternal realm
of infinite bliss
is located within.

The hereafter matters more than life.
Yes, this needs be clearly stated:
the afterlife matters more than life;
for life is a mere four days’ play,
but spirituality pertains to
the soul’s state for an eternity.

Don’t waste your precious time on muck,
It’s just not worth it!

Seriously focus on the Radhasoami Faith,
& earnestly persevere for your salvation!

Radhasoami!
