Radhasoami!

So, you are unhappy and dissatisfied!
This is not at all surprising.


The solution is that you are to realize God,
progress spiritually,
and ensure your redemption.


For this you need firstly
believe in and desire God
sincerely, really, ardently, intensely, enough….


Mysticism is not for
the half-hearted and alsorans.


The way is through meditation
in the Revealed manner,
Helped by The Living Grand Master
and Radhasoami Dayal’s Grace.

Sacred Bhandara: Recalling Guru Bachans {81.}


Radhasoami!
****

Extensive Progress of Satsang Prophesied.
****

Farmaya ki jis tarah se Dayalbagh mein karkhana wa school zaari kiye gaye hain, isi tarah par pehle har ek soobe mein, phir har ek Commisionery mein, phir har ek zille mein, hathaki {yahan thak ki} har ek gaanv mein Satsangiyon ki alhada alhada basthi gaanv ke bahar isi namoone par hogi.”

---- Param Guru Huzur Saheb Ji Maharaj; Bachan Bhag I, No. 168, Page 433.
****

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“Pronounced that just as the factory and school have been opened in Dayalbagh, in the same manner, firstly in every region, then in every state, and later in every district, until finally {to the extent that} in every village, there will come to be established colonies of Satsangis beyond the village {of Dayalbagh} on its pattern.”

Trust the Caring Supreme Father.
****

“The Supreme Father is always looking with solicitous care on all His children and grants from time to time divine beatitude and internal happiness to the extent which He thinks conducive to their advantage. You should always be looking forward for it and pray for its inward realization, but do not slacken your efforts when you do not experience it, as He alone knows when it should be granted and when not.

Sadness is also one of the instruments of progress and almost all whose spiritual advancement has begun have to experience an alternation of such condition. The Supreme Father is conscious of your resolve to resign yourself entirely to His will and will gradually grant you power to suffer your existence to be mended in accordance with it.

He has also Been Pleased to Accept your offer of youself and your belongings and He now Gives them back to you as His Prashadi {or Sanctified things}. You should now make a judicious use of them, and with the consciousness that they are the gifts of Your heavenly Father.”

---- Param Guru Huzur Maharaj Ji; Pilgrim's Path, Letter No. 13, Page 31.

Patience is Supposed to Pay. {67.}

****
Radhasoami!

Patience is said to pay.

Patience has been emphasized
in several of our
Guru Bachans and Paaths
{Master’s Words and hymns}.

It is true that
one must be patient,
in matters of spiritual progress,
and regularly continue to persevere.

The impatient commit mistakes,
and become further unfit for Grace.
So, impatience does cost one,
in true religiosity.

I am a very patient soul,
having years and decades
of solitary perseverance
testifying to it.

However, I have now
begun to quite wonder
about lots of things.

There must be light
at the tunnel’s end.
Or, is it endless;
a night without end?

I am increasingly getting to share
Param Sant Kabir Sahib Ji’s longing:

Abhu miliho tho tabahu miliho
Nahin tho Jampur baasa
.”

That is,
If one gets the Lord
in this lifetime,
can one hope for Him
in the hereafter,
otherwise one remains damned.

The proof of the pudding
finally lies in the eating.

I cannot keep going indefinitely on
solely on my faith and yearning.

Flow, Grace, as drops of elixir
to bathe my soul in love,
and reward its patience with consummation!

If patience is to pay,
is payback time yet remote?

Radhasoami!

Progress in Vital Sphere Awaited. {66.}

****
Radhasoami!

The sanctified Satsang Hall in Dayalbagh
is currently being expanded and renovated.

Blessed are the Satsangis who have
Mercifully been Permitted to
contributed any money for this Seva.

I naturally feel greatly elated and proud
at any progress being made
in any sphere of Satsang,
perhaps much more than others
because our religion
is in my very breath and blood.

However, I cannot help feeling
that something is yet missing.

If an unshapely person dons
the latest designer brand clothing,
if an ugly lady wears jazzy jewellery,
elegance and beauty remain distant.

I hope I haven’t been
too harsh in my judgment.

Our religion is the world’s hope
for peace and salvation,
but if Satsangis themselves do not
reform, evolve, prove worthy, deserve Grace,
such external progress would be meaningless,
lost, prove in vain.

I humbly pray to Radhasoami Dayal
to Help and Ensure
that internal reform and evolution
among the Satsangis
also matches and keeps pace
with the progress being made
in other spheres of Satsang.

A pure and beautiful Satsangi soul,
reflecting inner beauty of the spirit,
and manifesting strength of the soul,
a refinement in values, polished character,
who lives in this world,
setting an example of how
Your Children ought to live,
moving closer towards Your Gloriousness;
Satsangis are yet far removed
from this ideal,
and only Your Grace
can work such miracles.

Radhasoami!
