God, Save Humanity from Religions! {160.}



Radhasoami Dayal Ki Daya
Radhasoami Sahai

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

Radhasoami!
****

Don’t let them fool you!

Don’t let anyone at all,
even their gods or gurus,
ever fool you.

Don’t let even the scriptures
truly distance you from God.

It may perhaps not seem very exciting
but remains truer no whit
that love and goodness capsule
the best of all religions.

Be wary of and shun
anything that distorts the truth,
entails you lying to yourself,
hating rather than loving beings,
and hurting others on howsoever ‘lofty’ pretexts.

For all their tall talk on God,
just continue to:
see straight,
feel honestly,
think rightly,
do good,
persevere steadfastly for redemption.

For this is dark Kaliyuga
and the prophets have predicted
this world will turn
crazier and baser
than the living could endure.

Your conscience is a safer guide
than any guru
that has you run
foul to your best values.

Ah, hearken and be warned,
for these are tumultuous times,
and before you seek a guru
know and befriend your soul first!

Finally, dear God, it seems
this world desperately needs be saved
from its sundry religions,
and humanity sorely needs be saved
from its fraudulent gurus.

They’ve all but stood truth
on its head
and are now gleefully dancing
around its grave!

Absolute God and Imperfect Guru. {150.}


Radhasoami Dayal Ki Daya

Radhasoami!

Faith in the invisible,
absolute and perfect God
is easier by far
than faith in the living 
and mortal Guru
in a human form
that is manifestly imperfect,
to say the least.

So, help this honest believer,
my Supreme Lord,
to still somehow consummate his faith satisfactorily!

God’s Grace Envelops True Devotees.
****

‘“Jakey hirday Guru partheeti, Kaal karam wasey nahin jeethi.’
Jis par Guru ki Kripa hogi, uskey nazdeek Kaal aur karam nahin avenge. Kul rachna ke sir par uska danka hoga. Koi chinta usko nahin hogi. Jo Sath Dhaar hai, wahi Mauj ki Dhaar hai. Aise premi ki kul karrawayi, kya swarthi kya parmarthi, Mauj se hothi hai. Uskey man mein koi chaha nahin rahti. Phir Kaal wa karam kisko dukh deven. Jiski karrawayi Maalik ki Mauj se hothi hai, ussey Kaal wa karam khud darte hain aur kaampte hain. Aise premijan ki pal pal chin chin mein
Guru Aap Sambhal Karte Hain. Waha bhee aath pahar Guru ke rang mein ranga rahta hai aur prem mein bheega rahta hai. Jo Radhasoami Dayal ke Charnon mein aye hain, maha badabhaagi hain.”

---- Param Guru Maharaj Saheb Ji; Bachan Part II, No. 111, Page 112.
****

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:
‘“A person whose heart flows with love for the Lord,
Kaal and deeds cannot defeat such a one.’
The one who is the recipient of the Lord’s Grace finds Kaal and deeds remaining distant from him. He will have suzerainty over the entire creation. He will have no worry. The Current from Satloka is the Current representing divine Will. All the activities of such a devotee, whether it is material or spiritual, occur determined by the divine Will. He has no desire left in his mind. So, whom can Kaal or deeds cause sorrow? Indeed, Kaal and deeds are themselves scared of the devotee, all of whose matters are governed by divine Will, and remain trembling. The Guru Himself Takes care of such a devotee every moment. Even he remains absorbed in the Guru’s essence around-the-clock and remains bathed in love. Those who have taken refuge in Radhasoami Dayal’s Lotus Feet are extremely fortunate indeed.”

Guru Gifts Crucial Good Fortune.
****

Parmarath aur swarth donon mein bhaag mukaddam {mukhya} hai. Agar bhaag hai, tho sab kuchh praapth ho jatha hai. Agar bhaag nahin hai, tho na swarath na parmarath, kuchh nahin miltha....
‘Bhaag bina kya karey bichari, yeh bhee bhaag Guru se pa ri.’”

---- Param Guru Maharaj Saheb Ji; Bachan Part II, No. 112, Page 112.
****

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“In both spiritual and worldly contexts, one’s fortune is important {decisive}. If one is fortunate, then one gets to acquire everything. If there is no luck, then one gets nothing, neither spiritual nor worldly {gains / wealth}.
‘What can one do without Grace? Beseech Guru for Grace.’”

How You Should Love Guru.
****

Santon se aisi preethi honi chahiye, jaise jal machli ki preethi hai. Aisi preethi jisne Santon se kari, tho waha Unka pyara hua aur wahi jagath se nyara hua.”

---- Param Purusha Puran Dhani Huzur Soami Ji Maharaj;
The Holy Sar Bachan {Nasr}; No. 21, Page 78.
****

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“There should be such love for the Guru as the fish has for water. Whoever loves the Guru in this manner becomes dear to Him, and it is such a one who becomes beyond {transcends} the world.”

Only Internal Ascent Is Meaningful.
****

Yeh desh Santon ne swapn mathr bayan kiya hai. Yani jaise aadmi so gaya, tho bas sab gayab hai. Isi tarah aage ke rasthe ka insaan ko kuchh nahin patha.... Jo sachha Naam aur sachha Shabda ho raha hai aur sachha Guru jo us rasthe par chala hua hai, jiske sab pat khule hue hain, uska dhyan kiya jaave aur sachha Shabad suna jaave, tab rastha thay ho sakega. So jab thak yeh abhyaas na kiya javega, kaam nahin banega. Baahar yani jagrath awastha ki karrawayi se kuchh nahin banega.”

---- Param Guru Huzur Sarkar Saheb Ji; Bachan Bhag I, No. 21, Page 166.
****

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“The Saints have described this world to resemble a mere dream. That is, as soon as one sleeps, it all just vanishes. In like manner, the human knows nothing about the journey into the beyond.... The chanting of the true Name and the listening to the true Sound and the true Guru, whose channels are all open, if He is meditated upon and the true Sound were to be heard, then can the path be traversed. So, until this meditation is practised, it will be of no avail. Nothing can be achieved from external or wakeful activities.”

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!

The Master Always Protects Satsangis.
****

Sant Satguru Apne Apnaye hue Satsangiyon ke hamesha ang sang aur saath Rahte Hain aur unki pal pal har tarah se raksha Karte Hain.”

---- Param Guru Huzur Maharaj Ji; Prashnottar, Guru Updesh, Page 35, No. 25.

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“The Sant Satguru always Remains Closely with His Accepted Satsangis and Protects them every moment in every manner.”
