Beware: This Blog is Magical! {130.}

Radhasoami!
****

This humble blog is overpoweringly magical.
This need not quite astonish anyone,
since miracles come naturally to God.

The Name Radhasoami is divine.
God’s Awareness & Grace Sanctify
the words this blog contains.

A home is but a house
until love renders it a home.
A temple is a mere building
unless God’s Awareness & Grace descend.

This blog is a blessed blog.

Any visitor to this blog
shall leave it subtly transformed.
She or he may not
realize, believe, or accept it;
but her or his destiny
shall stand altered --
fundamentally & irrevocably.

Beyond the human ego,
at the plane of the soul,
Grace shall work through this blog
to tug the readers’ souls Godward.
As water naturally flows down,
the soul aspires to fly towards God.
This blog shall serve as the impetus
that hastens your spiritual evolution.

I'm the insignificant & imperfect tool
that but honestly attempts to transcribe
what the Awesome Living Force Wills.

I humbly await, O Parent of all,
Your Miracles Performed
for Your most glorious Mission
of universal salvation.

Causation Works in Spirituality Fantastically. {90.}

****
Radhasoami!

The law of causation works true
in spirituality nonetheless
and magnified n times over.

What do I mean by this?

Well, it’s something like
good and bad stocks
in the securities markets.

If you invest a dollar
in a lousy stock,
you will certainly lose it.

Invest a dollar in a fair stock
and you may gain a few cents.

Investing in hot stocks ought to
get you magnified returns.

You may double your investment,
or get 10 times its return,
or even 100 times,
depending on the market factors,
trends and forces.

So much for causality
and variable returns in worldly matters.

Now, spirituality represents
a different dimension altogether.
So, the laws of causation work,
but the returns are naturally magnified
quite to the power of n times over.

God is the richest Being existent
and generosity comes naturally to Him.

So, invest a dollar
of pure love in God,
and you are bound to reap
a fortune in God’s love for you.

Invest a sincere prayer in God,
and the torrents of Grace
that engulf your life
will render your destiny
transformed for the better,
immeasurably and forever.

Spirituality is a very reliable playing field,
because God is the best bet and stock possible!

You can rest assured
none of your longings and efforts
is going quite unnoticed or waste.

Trust God,
do your bit, indeed, best,
and patiently await God’s justice.

God is God.
God proves He is God.
What must, indeed, will and does ... happen!

Control is Key to Action. {81.}

****
Radhasoami!

I have found most people
to be careless, almost reckless,
in their living,
as if they have little to lose,
and don’t care if they do so.

The Paath or hymn lines teach us:
“Main pyari Pyare Radhasoami ki /
Chutayi Guru ne jag begaar.”

That is,
"The Lord has
Saved me from useless world."

It is pointless seeking the world,
which is anyway doomed to destruction
in the forthcoming MahaPralay or apocalypse.

It would be prudent to strive earnestly
to attain the divine realm
of Satloka and Radhasoami Dham,
which are eternal and blissful.

Like Arjun, in the epic Mahabharata,
you can aim and shoot
directly at the bird’s eye,
only if you are shut
to everything else in life.

Control in worldly activities
is the key to
progress in spiritual pursuits.

Life involves choices,
and decisions need be taken.

If you do not decide
about your life and fate,
others will by default decide
on your behalf.

Be responsible for your self,
one’s destiny is as one makes it!

Thought, Decision, Will and Action. {76.}

****
Radhasoami!

One should be ultracareful
in one’s very thoughts.

As one thinks, one becomes.

Thoughts inspire desires.
Decisions get formed.
One becomes willing.

Actions invariably follow.

Upon one’s deeds depend Grace
and one’s destiny gradually unfolding.

Be very careful in your thoughts.
Shun unhealthy, unnecessary and wasteful thoughts.

Take care of your mind.
Decorate it lovingly
with pure, beautiful, noble thoughts.

After all, isn’t there
Someone Omniscient Who Remains
always Aware of everything?

The sincere need not even seek God;
instead, God Himself seeks the sincere out.

The Law of Causation Works. {69.}

****
Radhasoami!

Nothing just happens and fades away.

Everything has an existence,
and makes an impact,
which may be variously
right or wrong,
good or bad,
beautiful or ugly,
important or wasteful,
temporary or lasting,
beneficial or harmful,
redemptive or damning.

Our sense organs are limited,
but the soul is also
latent in everyone.

Intuition is the soul
trying to guide one.

Life evokes thought,
life offers choices,
life entails decisions,
life merits words,
life mandates actions.

There is no way the individual
can avoid or escape one’s responsibility.

One’s deeds have their costs.
One’s actions have their consequences.

Think it all out carefully.
Life is precious.

This will lead to that,
and eventually determine your destiny.

The mystical Law governs life.

Anything good that one does
reverberates and rebounds upon one.

As you act, destiny occurs;
responsibly choose your own fate!

Faith and Truth and Beliefs. {68.}

****
Radhasoami!

We apparently live in
our own individual worlds,
determined by our perceptions,
defined by our beliefs,
influenced by our desires,
and propelled by our written destinies.

True, free will is quite a laugh.
Humans are slaves
of their accumulated Sanskaras or tendencies,
and virtual prisoners of their beliefs.

So, what is the way out;
or, is there none?
A genuine quest for truth.
An ardent desire for salvation.

The way that one thinks is crucial.
Meditation is gradually acquiring mastery
over one’s way of thinking and thoughts.

Let one’s faith be pure.
Let one’s consistent honesty
and quest for truth
help render all one’s beliefs
to be true.

Faith, honesty, truth,
and right beliefs
will then enable right living,
which will evoke divine Grace.

Grace shall then draw the soul
closer to Its Reservoir.

The curtain shall then fall
upon an absurd play that
had best reach its end.

Lessons Learnt from Rotten Apples. {46.}

****
Radhasoami!

The elder generation habitually
regards itself as ideal,
and with the natural rights
to “demand” respect from youngsters
& order them around.

This would make sense
& even be desirable & necessary,
if parents, Branch Secretaries, & others
were truly of the right sort,
had the youngsters’ interests & concerns in view,
& were guided by right motivations.

We unfortunately live in a dirty world,
& people are hardly perfect.

Accepting & obeying most elders
would be the surest & swiftest route
to one’s own unhappiness & ruin.

Life literally abounds with rotten apples,
you ask for one & get a dozen.

I have generally been & lived
like a rebel throughout my life.

I know my own values,
& don’t care a damn about
what really doesn’t deserve anything.

When surrounded by smiling faces
hiding barely disguised selfish motives
or evil intentions,
firstly learn to see through things,
to discriminate between what is
& what has been claimed or professed,
to judge & value rightly.

Be on your constant guard.
Trust none except the Lord.
Remain sane & become strong.

As per the Paath or hymn lines:
“Unse rahna samajh boojh kar,
Hain yeh bairi, hith dikhlaye.
Teri haani laab nahin soche,
Apne swarath rahen liptaye.”

That is,
“Be on guard against such,
They are foes, professing friendship.
They’re uncaring about your welfare,
Intent on own selfish interests.”

One ought to learn from
the rotten apples
how one should not be.

Elders remain an example,
for the younger generation.
Unworthy elders become bad examples,
whom one ought to remember
for their sundry bad habits or tendencies.
They should teach us not
to ever become like them.

After all, they are headed
towards their own destinies,
& we must carefully
chalk out our own desserts.

Radhasoami!
