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.

Enough of This Beastly Existence. {147.}


Radhasoami Dayal Ki Daya
Radhasoami Sahai

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

Radhasoami!
****

Being human is little better
than animal existence,
unless one has realized God.

I have had enough of
my ignorant, frustrated, helpless condition.

God is a state of my being
that I shall experience soon.

So, Help me, my Lord
realize my congenital, deep faith.

Radhasoami!

I Am Also Verily Human. {136.}

Radhasoami!
****


I am as human as any other.


Forgive me, Lord,
but I do also often
question various premises
of the world’s major religions,
including our own Radhasoami religion of Dayalbagh.


Yet I know this faith
lives in my very blood and bones.


Of course, that cannot serve
as clinching evidence
of its fundamental tenets.


It’s too long and arduous
an uphill climb, my Lord,
so Help me
for I at times
weary in my faith.


But I sense Your Love and Grace tugging me,
and I persevere in my honest quest,
despite such occasional fleeting ‘moments’.


May the Supreme Parent Radhasoami Dayal
Mercifully Guide me and all living beings
unto His eternal blissful paradise!

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!

Perseverance Eventually Leads to Success. {87.}

****
Radhasoami!

Faith is a taxing and exacting matter.

One needs believe, abide by values,
and patiently wait for resultant rewards.

Sure, causality works,
and the law finally consummates.

But humans are limited, weak,
and human lifespans are brief.

So, now that you are
attached to the right faith,
keep clinging on to it,
and striving towards your Maker.

The rest of life will
basically just not really matter.

Remain clear about your priorities.

One’s faith reflects one’s proximity to God,
and evokes God’s Grace accordingly.

So, persevere in your faith,
final consummation will be yours!

Radhasoami!
