Intensely Seeking Salvation, Master-God. {53.}

****
Radhasoami!

The Guru and God are one.

Indeed, the Guru is greater than God,
because He enlightens the jeevas {living beings} about God,
and can help them attain paradise.

As Param Sant Kabir Says:
“Guru Govind dou khade Kapei laagun Paav
Balihari Guru Aapne jin Govind Diyo Milay.”

That is, if the Guru and God were both Present,
Whose Lotus Feet should Kabir touch?
It is the Guru’s,
since He unites one with God.

People are content with
merely being God-fearing
to the extent that they live
on the right side of God.
All very good and fine.

My interest, desire, commitment, passion
in spirituality and for God
are far too deep, lofty
to bear of God’s denial.

I really want nothing else except God …
& I really want God!

As our Guru Bachan recommends,
“... jeethe jee” udhhar ko paana
{attaining redemption in life itself}.

To recall Param Sant Kabir again,
“Abhu miliho tho tabahu miliho /
Nahin tho Jampur baasa.”

That is, if you meet God
in your very lifetime,
can you aspire to
unite with Him in the hereafter,
otherwise it’s virtual damnation.

So, I cannot be satisfied even with
the Guru-Khuda’s sacred Promise
of salvation in four lifetimes.

F o u r l o n g lifetimes ...
perhaps separated by eons of years ...
not for me.

I want my salvation,
certainly in this janam or life.
I want it very soon; now.
I am resolved to have it.

As I had said
during a fortunate Arz or supplication
to Gracious Huzur “Prem” Saran Satsangi Saheb Ji,
“Mera agla janam kya hoga?
Yahan tho ek ek saal
bhaari pad raha hai.”

That is,
“How can I have a next birth?
I already find every single year
growing more onerous indeed.”

To which He had Mercifully Replied
“Tadap bahut achhi cheez hothi hai.”

That is,
“Intense yearning is a very good sentiment.”

The soul that renounces everything
and intensely perseveres for God ...
what in existence can possibly
thwart such a final longing,
especially when it is
fully supported by God?

To recall our Paath or hymn lines,
“Ab tho man kar chuka pukaar /
Radhasoami Karo uddhaar.”

That is,
“Now the soul has cried out,
Radhasoami, Redeem me.”

Radhasoami!

Radhasoami: The Very First Historical Revelation of the Most Sacred Divine Name "Radhasoami"! {2.}

Radhasoami!

The Radhasoami religion of Dayalbagh {more on this shortly} was founded, {as stated in post no. 1.}, on August 24, Monday, 1818, with the very Birth in Human Form of the Incarnated Compassionate Radhasoami, the SuperGod Who Resides in the loftiest divine Realm of Radhasoami Dham {the Abode of Radhasoami}.

When, however, had the most sacred divine Name "Radhasoami" been first gifted to humanity by an evolved divine personage?
The honor for this unique contribution & service goes to Param Sant Kabir.

In one of his couplets, Sant Kabir reveals:

"Kabir dhara agam ki / Satguru dayi lakhay

Ulat thahi sumiran karo / Soami sang milay "

Which means that Kabir speaks of the divine current {dhara} from the loftiest paradise, & bids that it is to be transversed {i.e. "dhara" is to become "Radha"} & is to be chanted & meditated upon by adding "Soami" to it; after thus having arrived at the complete most sacred divine Name, "Radhasoami".

Sant Kabir {1440-1518}, born in or near Benares {modern Varanasi in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India}, had been a poet-saint of northern India. A contemporary of Guru Nanak Dev, legendary account even believes the two to have met once.

Sant Kabir had been a saint of the Bhakti tradition & preached mystical worship of a universal God, who refused to be fractionalized by the religious divisions determinedly thrust upon Him by myopic & parochial humans.

The fifth Sikh Guru, Guru Arjan Dev had compiled most of Sant Kabir's devotional hymns, & they form an integral part of the Sikh scripture, the Guru Granth Sahib.

Kabir's greatest work is the Bijak {or Seedling}, a treasure-trove of poems that expound His universal & all-encompassing view of spirituality.

The Radhasoami religion of Dayalbagh reveres both Sant Kabir & Guru Nanak Dev as exalted saints & masters belonging to the Sant Math or the Religion of Saints, the precise tradition of which it is now the exclusive global torchbearer in the present depraved age of Kaliyuga {more on this later}.

Our scriptures contain several hymns of Sant Kabir, which are devoutly recited by the devotees as part of the routine Satsang or spiritual congregation held twice a day {in the early morning & evening, & largely simultaneously} in the Satsang Bhawans {or Halls} all across India & in several parts of the world.

Radhasoami!
