Who Says I Am Human? {149.}


Radhasoami Dayal Ki Daya
Radhasoami Sahai

May Compassionate Radhasoami Shower His Grace
May Radhasoami Help
****

Radhasoami!
****

There is really little need
for the twain to meet,
since there exists,
no dichotomy or schism anyway.

It’s all in the mind,
the self breeding its ego,
a false perception of a remote God somewhere inaccessible,  
and the difference of others out there.

The mystical being is united
with God just as it is
with Her entire creation.

Having chosen birth as a human,
being alive and apparently living
as a human,
I temporarily somewhat succumbed
to the illusion
of my being a human.

Who says I am human?
Who can, with any semblance at honesty,
even presume to regard me a human,
at least as all the others are?

It is time for truth.
It is time for honesty.

I shackled my own infinite soul
with the bonds of false beliefs,
and sought my freedom
despite no slavery ever having been.

Ah, is the human verily foolish!  
Indeed, let the truth free one.

The hour of my transcendence draws near,
I delight at the joy
of final fusion with my eternal Beloved.

Tear away the blinkers from my eyes,
let all doubt and confusion forever end.

The devotee celebrates God’s glory,
rejoices in His numerous miracles,
and the furtherance of
His most glorious Mission
of universal salvation.

Please note that I wrote the above
essentially as a mystical realization,
and certainly do not literally claim godliness;
though the twilight mystical existence
between the human and God,
between life and its consummation,
does not allow of descriptions quite rational.

Lead Me On, My Faith! {142.}


Radhasoami Dayal Ki Daya
Radhasoami Sahai

May Compassionate Radhasoami Shower His Grace
May Radhasoami Help
****

Radhasoami!
****

I know nought of God
for all my years and decades
of earnest, solitary striving.

All I possess of God
is but my sincere faith.

So, lead me on,
my genuine quest,
my deep longing,
my intense yearning,
to my Supreme Parent Radhasoami Dayal!

This is the best and most
that any devotee remains capable of.

Radhasoami!

Radhasoami!

Guru’s Grace, Sanskaras and Paradise.
****
Sanskara ka beej bhee jeevon ke hirday mein Sant hee Daalthe Hain. Tho shuru se akhir thak Wahi Kartadharta Hain, yaani jeevon ko sanskari bhee Wahi Banathe Hain aur munasib aur zaruri bhakti wageirah Kara dhur Dham mein Pahunchate hain.”

---- Param Guru Maharaj Saheb Ji; Bachan Part II, No. 93, Page 89.
****

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“It is the Guru Who Sows the seed of sanskara {desire, tendency or impulse to action} in the hearts of living beings. So, right from the beginning to the end, only He Is the Doer, that is, He renders the beings deserving, and by Getting them to perform devotion etc. Takes them to the divine Abode.”

Radhasoami Religion is about Death. {106.}

****
Radhasoami!

This world is not real.

Life is brief, and merely
an opportunity to attain salvation.

The meaning and purpose of life
stem from but its eventual cessation.

This may sound strange,
but is nevertheless true.

It is the deserving soul
that early, clearly and seriously
dedicates itself to achieving redemption.

Meditation in the prescribed manner,
helped by the Guru’s Grace,
can enable any sincere devotee
to experience death during meditation,
to transcend and master death.

Death naturally loses its sting
for such a blessed devotee.

One realizes what reality is,
and knows that one has
attained a paradise that’s
glorious, blissful and eternal.

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!

Love All Compassionately; Hate None.
****

Aur jo zyaada premi hain, wah sab jeevon ko preetham ki ansh samajh kar pyaar karenge. Parmarthi log duniyadaron se nafrath nahin karthe, balki unki buri haalath dekh kar unpar taras khathe hain.”

---- Param Guru Maharaj Saheb Ji; Part II, Pages 82-83, Bachan No. 74.
****

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“Those who are more devoted regard all living beings as specks of the Beloved and love them. The spiritually inclined don’t hate the worldly people, but upon perceiving their miserable condition, merely pity them.”
****

Radhasoami!
