Divine Proximity Naturally Induces Humility. {151.}

Radhasoami Dayal Ki Daya

Radhasoami Sahai

May Compassionate Radhasoami Shower His Grace

May Radhasoami Help

Radhasoami!

It is only by

transcending one’s human ego

and nullifying one’s self

that one can possibly deserve God.

Proximity to God naturally induces

humility in the blessed soul.

One beholds the divine vision,

and realizes one’s sheer insignificance

in the infinite cosmic order,

in a manner of speaking.

Even the faith, godly proximity,

especial abilities and unique accomplishments

that the inspired may possess

are essentially gifts from God. 

The sincere soul remains humble

and immeasurably grateful to God.

Radhasoami!

Develop Dependence on Lord’s Will.

“Bal kisi tarah ka na rahe, yeh bhari Daya Maalik ki hai, yaani prateeti is baath kee ki main apne bal se koi kaam nahin kar sakta hoon, jo kuchh hotha hai Maalik ki Mauj se hotha hai.”
---- Param Guru Maharaj Saheb Ji; Bachan, Part I, No. 46, Page 55.

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“That there remain no {belief in one’s own} ability or power represents Maalik’s immense Grace, i.e. the realization that I can with my own resources do no work, whatever happens does so only with Maalik’s Mauj {Pleasure or Will}.”

Humility Alone Kills One's Ego. {34.}

****
Radhasoami!

The trait of humility has been stressed
ad infinitum in our religion.
What does humility really mean?
Why is humility so important?

Humility cannot mean pretending
to have no ego at all.
We all have our egos
& it serves various purposes.
Indeed, civilized life
would be virtually impossible
were ego to vanish altogether
from human society & life.
Imagine every person walking off
with another’s goods just because
nobody had any “ego” left.
Jungle law would prevail thereby,
leading to chaos, strife, misery.
Obviously, this cannot be meant by ego,
so, what is actually meant by it?

The ego is the gravest threat
to the soul’s quest for God & salvation.
It intrudes in one’s spiritual practices
& prevents a quicker & closer Darshan,
or beholding of the Divine Countenance.

The ego causes the human to succumb to the
other four “dooth” or demons of
kaam, krodha, lobha & moha,
or lust, anger, greed & attachment.

These five together combine to keep the soul
enmeshed in sensual & worldly quicksand
for years & decades & lifetimes & eons.

So, victory over these can occur only if
you first destroy their leader, or ego.

The ego gets destroyed by true humility.

True humility is realizing
one’s innate human imperfections & limitations.

This causes a dependence upon one’s Guru,
which in turn evokes His Grace.

When the ego is annihilated,
you become quite free from
the other four named baser tendencies.
You are then secure
& headed fast towards your salvation.

Therefore, one’s ego is one’s greatest enemy,
& cultivating true humility benefits
only one’s own self incalculably.

Radhasoami!
