My Loneliness Blossoms into Togetherness. {144.}


Radhasoami Dayal Ki Daya
Radhasoami Sahai

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

Radhasoami!
****

in loneliness i recklessly 
delved deep within myself
until there was no i
to even experience feeling alone.

whom they all call god
is my being;
i have realized the truth
but life thralls me yet.

i long for the freedom
that was mine before birth
and i shall triumph
in challenging, transcending death.

god is a mere
state of my being.
and paradise the home
all exiled yearn for.

Radhasoami!

Earnest Prayer to Radhasoami Dayal. {108.}

****
Radhasoami!

The Radhasoami religion teaches one
how to attain eternal bliss.

Satsangis ought to be shielded from sorrows,
and habitually bask in happiness.

Besides, I like good news,
even of others,
especially about Satsangis.

So, may Radhasoami Dayal Mercifully Accept
the following humble and sincere prayer
at His Lotus Feet from me:

Please Grant that I receive
only good news,
and preferably, very good news,
and even better good news,
about those who’re Your Own,
Your Chosen, Loved, and Beloved.

Let my living be interspersed with
such recurring, joyous, heartening good news.

Let the loneliness and barrenness
of my life be brightened,
with such soothing and satisfying good news.

Let this joy now become
my constant companion
until I achieve the eternal bliss
of final fusion in Your Being.

Radhasoami!

Faulting Others or Perfecting Oneself. {85.}

****
Radhasoami!

Every person is actually alone.

Sure, God is constantly together,
at least with earnest devotees
who really believe in Him
and live by His precepts.

The soul is separate,
one’s values, sanskaras {tendencies},
karmas {deeds} and fate remain individual.

One’s family and relationships
play a vital role,
in helping one live
to fulfill one’s potential.

Math dekh paraye augun /
Kyon paap badhaye din din
.”

That is,
“Don’t watch others’ vices,
Why commit more sins daily?”

I am sorry I am not a perfect God;
I am an imperfect human.

However, I can definitely improve
and try to perfect myself.

Why need one waste one’s time
dwelling on others’ faults?

They may live as they please.
They may die as they merit.

True, one should generally
try to guide and help others.

Yet, let’s remember that
the soul is individual,
continue with your journey
the best you can!

As I remember having read somewhere,
“For peace of mind,
resign as the general manager
of the universe.”

Radhasoami!

Never Think You Are Alone. {48.}

****
Radhasoami!

Regardless of circumstances,
whatever the situation,
you are never really alone.

If your faith is sincere,
if you really believe in Radhasoami Dayal,
your Supreme Parent Is always
Caring for you.

Maalik Hain Rakshak jeeva ke /
Jeeva na jaane bhed
.”

{I don’t think I have
the above Paath lines accurate,
but let’s gloss over it.}

That is,
“The Lord is the living being’s Protector,
but the beings know not the secrets.”

One’s inner bond with Radhasoami Dayal
continues beyond death into the hereafter.

It is only this that will decide
your next janam or birth,
or your salvation immediately after this life.

The intensity of your longing for God,
the urgency of your quest for salvation,
can never be lost upon Radhasoami Dayal.

It Is Radhasoami Dayal Who Alone
Causes your parents, siblings, spouses, others
to love, help, care for you.

Be grateful to & thank only Him.
{Though superficial courtesy to others is permitted.}

It Is Radhasoami Dayal Alone
Who merits your unflinching faith,
pure love & total trust,
willing obedience & undying loyalty.

Pray to Radhasoami Dayal sincerely,
even ask Him for things
as a child may its Parent,
be it trifles or grave matters,
& you will rarely be disappointed.

For remember, God is love
& God Loves His children
as we might not have
the sense to quite fathom.

Cling on to your faith,
continue with your sincere prayers,
expect Grace to shower miracles,
& it will all happen.

Radhasoami!

Retain Faith in Life's Justice. {43.}

****
Radhasoami!

One is born alone,
one personally lives alone,
& one dies alone.

The self is limited,
being & experience cannot
really be totally shared.

The soul fulfils its desires,
& the load of karmas
gradually gets wiped out,
with the Guru's Grace.

One better remain individually responsible,
the awesome Law governs all existence ruthlessly.

Much as it might appear to the contrary,
there is an innate justice to life's plays.

It is just that the divine theatre
does not follow human timetables.

People can, therefore, not easily discern
the rewards their good deeds will get them,
nor unravel the punishments that God
will have the evil meet with.

One ought to, under all circumstances,
keep one's faith, values & morality.

The show is still on,
the curtains haven't yet fallen;
& while there is life,
let there also remain hope,
incentive, motivation & will
for a better living.

Radhasoami!
