Prayer to Our August Founder.
****

“Besides this, a prayer has to be essentially offered in the Holy Feet of {Our August Founder, Param Purusha Puran Dhani Param Guru Huzur} Soamiji Maharaj. The prayer is: ‘You may mercifully let us know if the activity which is being carried on here is wrong or there is some shortcoming in it, and bestow enlightenment on all of us, and give instructions and hints so that we may give up the wrong path and follow the correct one, and commence our activity accordingly. You may mercifully condescend to remain permanently amongst us. Not one but several thrones and chairs can be offered at Your Holy Feet. But You must mercifully always remain present amongst us. We need guidance every moment. Presently, this prayer is offered in Your Holy Feet.’”

Attitude towards World and People.
****

“Gurumukh sansari padarthon aur duniya ke jaal mein nahin atakta hai aur unki laabh aur haani mein dukhi sukhi nahin hotha hai aur jo koi ochhi baath kahe, tho uspar gussa nahin karta hai aur sada apne jeeva ke kalyaan aur Satguru ki Prasanntha par nazar rakhta hai.
Manmukh sansaar aur uske padarthon ka bada khyaal rakhta hai aur unki haani laabh mein jald dukhi sukhi hotha hai aur jo koi kaduwa bachan kahe, fauran gusse mein bhar aatha hai aur Satguru ki Mehar aur Samarthata ka bharosa aur khyal nahin rakhta hai.”

---- Param Purusha Puran Dhani Param Guru Huzur Soami Ji Maharaj;
The holy Sar Bachan {Nasr}; Page 194-5: 7.
****

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“Gurumukh {or the Guru-inspired} doesn’t get entangled in material possessions and the worldly snare and does not become sad or happy at their profit or loss and if someone says something petty, he doesn’t get angry at him and always minds the welfare of his soul and the pleasure of the Satguru.
Manmukh {or the ego-driven} bothers a lot about the world and its objects and instantly gets sad or happy at their gain or loss and if someone says something bitter, immediately flies into a rage and doesn’t trust or value the Grace and Omnipotence of the Satguru.

Be Enthusiastic in Performing Service.
****

“Gurumukh Seva mein aalas nahin kartha aur kabhi khali nahin baithna chahta hai. Manmukh tan ka aaram chahta hai aur Seva mein susthi kartha hai.”

---- Param Purusha Puran Dhani Param Guru Huzur Soami Ji Maharaj;
The holy Sar Bachan {Nasr}; Page 194: 5.
****

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“The Gurumukh {or Guru-inspired} doesn't be idle with regard to Seva {or service} and never wants to sit with no work. The Manmukh {or ego-driven} seeks bodily comfort and is lazy in performing service.”

Difference between Gurumukh and Manmukh.
****

“Gurumukh harek ke saath sachha barattha hai aur burayi ki baathon se bachtha hai aur kisi ko bhee dhokha nahin detha hai aur jo kaam kartha hai, Satguru ke liye aur Unki Daya ke bharose par kartha hai.
Manmukh chaturayi aur kapat se barattha hai aur apne matlab ke liye auron ko dhokha detha hai aur apni buddhi aur chaturayi ka bharosa rakhta hai aur apne aap ko pragat karna chahta hai.”

---- Param Purusha Puran Dhani Param Guru Huzur Soami Ji Maharaj;
The holy Sar Bachan {Nasr}; Page 192: 262-1.
****

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“The Gurumukh {Guru-inspired} conducts himself sincerely with everyone and avoids bad things and doesn’t deceive anyone and whatever he does, he does for the Satguru and remaining dependent upon His Grace.
The manmukh {ego-driven} acts with cleverness and trickery and deceives others for the sake of his own interests and trusts his own intelligence and cleverness and seeks to assert his own ego.”

Sitting in Satsang not Enough.
****

“Satsang mein aa baithne se karma nahi katthe hain. Satsang ka jo karma hai uske karne se karma katthe hain.”

---- Param Purusha Puran Dhani Param Guru Huzur Soami Ji Maharaj;
The holy Sar Bachan {Nasr}, Page 93: No. 69.
****

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“Merely coming and sitting in the Satsang does not have one’s karmas be eradicated. This happens only upon actively doing what constitutes the process of Satsang.”

Satsang: Ultimate Purifier and Rejuvenator.
****

“Is jeeva ke mail dhoor karne ke liye siwaay Satsang ke aur koi upaay nahin hai. Jaise saabun mein yeh taakath rakhi hai ki kaisa hee maila kapda hove aur jab saabun lagakar dhoya, turanth saaf ho gaya, ya ki ghaas ka dher jama hai aur jab usmein ek chingari daal dhi, ek chin mein bhasm ho jatha hai. Isi tarah Satsang hai ki ismein janm janm ke karma kat jathe hain aur sanskar din ba din badalta jatha hai.”


---- Param Purusha Puran Dhani Param Guru Huzur Soami Ji Maharaj;
The holy Sar Bachan {Nasr}, Page 123: No. 147.
****

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“To rid the living being of her or his impurities, there is no other method except Satsang. As the soap has the power to instantly clean a piece of cloth, regardless of however dirty it was, or like a mound of grass gathered which, if ignited with a spark, instantly gets destroyed. In just the same manner, it is Satsang that instantly wipes out one’s karmas {or deeds} of several lifetimes, and one’s sanskaras {or tendencies} begin to change day by day.”

Reconcile Worldly and Spiritual Interests.
****

“Donon kaam nahin ban sakte. Bhakti Guru ki karoge, tho jagath se todni padegi aur jagath se rakhoge, tho bhakti mein kasar padegi. So iss baath ka niyama nahin hai. Jinke ache sanskar hain aur Satguru ki Kripa hai, unke donon kaam bakhoobi banthe chale javenge, kuchh dikkath nahin padegi aur jinke sanskar nikrusht hain, unse ek hee kaam banega.”
****

---- Param Purusha Puran Dhani Param Guru Huzur Soami Ji Maharaj;
The holy Sar Bachan {Nasr}, Page 91; No. 60.
****

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“Both the things can’t be done. If you perform devotion to the Guru, you will have to break with the world and if you keep with the world, you will lapse in your devotion. So there is no rule in this matter. Those who possess good sanskaras {or tendencies} and the Satguru’s Grace will be enabled success in both the spheres, without any difficulty, but those with faulty sanskaras will be able to manage only one sphere.”

Praise Guru and Criticize Oneself.
****

“Ninda aur stuthi donon ke karne mein paap hotha hai, kyonki jaisa koi hai waisa bayaan nahin ho sakta hai. Isliye munasib yeh hai ki stuthi karey tho apne Satguru ki aur ninda kare tho apni.”

---- Param Purusha Puran Dhani Param Guru Huzur Soami Ji Maharaj;
The holy Sar Bachan {Nasr}, pp. 102-103.
****

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“Calumny and praise both involve sin, because none can depict someone just as he is. Therefore, it is befitting that if one praises, one should praise one’s Satguru and if one deprecates someone, it should be one's own self.”

Perform Ceaseless and Selfless Devotions.
****

“Jab thak swansa hai, gurubhakti kare jaana chahiye. Gurubhakti kul Maalik ki bhakti hee tho hai. Aur Unse kuchh na maange. Unko akhtiyar hai, jab Waha adhikari dekhenge, jo Chahenge so Baksh Denge.”

---- Param Purusha Puran Dhani Param Guru Huzur Soami Ji Maharaj;
The holy Sar Bachan {Nasr}, p. 84.
****

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“Till one has breath left, one should remain engaged in Gurubhakti {devotion to the Master}. Gurubhakti constitutes worship of the Supreme Lord. And one should ask Him for nothing. It is His prerogative that when He finds someone deserving {fit / entitled}, He can bestow whatever He might please to.”

“... Sri Krishan Maharaj ne bhee Bhagavad Gita mein likha hai ki jo koi Mujhse milna chahe aur Meri seva aur preeti karna chahe, tho Mere jo premijan sadh aur bhakta hain, unki jo seva karega waha Meri seva hai aur Main unse prasann hounga, aur wahi Mera pyara hai jo Mere sachhe bhakton se preeti karta hai.”

---- Param Purusha Puran Dhani Param Guru Huzur Soami Ji Maharaj;
the holy Sar Bachan {Nasr}, p. 49.
****

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“Sri Krishan has also said in the Bhagavad Gita that if someone seeks to meet Me and wants to perform worship and service of Me, then if {s}he serves those who are My loving devotees, then that constitutes My service and I shall become pleased with him, and the one who loves My true devotees is dear to Me.”
