The Effects of Others’ Company.

“Phir sohbath ke baare mein Farmaya ki iska bhee bada asar hotha hai. Ek aadmi ke andar se kaam, krodha, lobha, moha aur ahankaar in panch angon ki beshumar dhaaren har waqt bahar nikalti rahti hain aur uske gird ek ek dhaar ek halks banathi hai. Is tarah se sansari aadmi ki fawware ki manindh {tarah} sab gilazath {gandgi} bahar nikal rahi hai. Tho jo shakhs aise shakhs ki sohbath karta hai, us par us gande halke ka asar zarur padta hai. Lekin mahatma aur Sant jan ki Sohbath se bada phayda hotha hai, kyonki Unke andar se sheel, kshama, ki Dhaaren nikal rahi hain, jo roshan daayra {ghera} banathi hain ... Agar kahin bhaag se Sant ya saadh ki Sangath mil jaave, tho usse bada phayda hotha hai, kyonki Waha Nirmal Chetan Desh ke bhandar Hain. Unse jo Dhaaren nikal rahi hain, waha tho bahut hee roshan aur prakashwan hain aur bahut dhoor dhoor thak asar karti hain.”

---- Param Guru Huzur Sarkar Saheb Ji; Bachan Bhag I, No. 17, Pages 157-8.

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“Then Pronounced upon the subject of the company one keeps that it has great influence upon one. From everyone, the currents of lust, anger, greed, attachment and ego, umpteen rays of these five tendencies are every moment emerging out and creating an {aura or} energy-field around the person. In this manner, from a worldly person, like a fountain, such impurities keep sprouting forth.... So, whoever remains in the company of such a person, will definitely be susceptible to the adverse effects of such a dirty impact. But great benefit is derived from the company of the evolved souls and of the Saints, because from their beings, the streams of serenity and forgiveness flow out, forming a refulgent aura, ... If one is ever fortunate enough to attain the company of a Saint or a evolved soul, then one benefits incalculably therefrom, because They are the repositories of the Pure Spiritual Region. The currents that emanate from Them are extremely splendrous and shining and cause an effect up to considerable distances.”

Guru’s Eternal Hotline to God.

“Sant Satguru ka tan aur man antharyami nahin hain. Wah surat jo is tan mein baithi hai, albatha sarvsamarth aur antharyami hai. Hirday ke ghaat par Wah jab oopar ke ghaat se gyan ki dhara utharthe hain, tho Unko Hirday ke ghaat par bhee antharyamiyata ho jathi hai, lekin is ghaat par usi kadar dhaar Utharte Hain, jis kadar zarurath ho. Unka Hidray Saaf wa Nirmal hai. Wahan koi naksh nahin hai. Jaisa Huqum oopar se aya, Kaha Diya ya Kar Diya. Sant Satguru ke Hirday ke ghaat pa Nij Dhar Satsang ke waqt aur gujishta {pichle} Santon ke Bhandaron ke waqt aur deegar khaas khaas waqton par athi hai.... Unke Hirday ghaat par telephone us ghaat se laga hua hai ki jahan antharyamita aur samarthta maujood hain. Jab Chaha telephone se kaam le liya.”

---- Param Guru Huzur Saheb Ji Maharaj; Bachan, Bhag I, No. 12, Page 216.

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“The body and mind of the Sant Satguru are not omniscient. The Surat or Soul that resides within the body is, however, omnipotent and omniscient. Whenever He Causes the Current of Knowledge to descend from the higher realm to the plane of His Heart, then He Acquires Omniscience even on that plane, but He Does this only to the extent that it might be required. His Heart is pure and tender. There is no impurity therein. As the Fiat comes from above, So He Says or Does. At the plane of the Sant Satguru’s Heart, the Divine Current manifests itself only during Satsang and upon the Bhandaras of the former Gurus and on other rare special occasions.... His Heart is linked by telephone with that realm where omniscience and omnipotence prevail. Whenever Desired, He Employs the telephone fruitfully.”

On Developing Purity of Intellect.
****

“... to obtain full benefit from religion and true Guru, it is very essential to have pure intellect.... How to acquire the purity of intellect? The person who wants to have purity of intellect has essentially to keep his eyes and ears open. He should listen to everything and ponder over it, and after thoroughly considering the pros and cons, adopt those that are essential and useful, and give up the nonessential and useless ones. He should act only after careful consideration and listen attentively to whatever is said. Thus, if effort is made to bear in mind the above instructions and one tries to develop purity of intellect, there is no reason to doubt the success. Even if one gets true Satsang, he would derive no benefit without developing a pure and chaste intellect....”

The Tributaries Submerging in River. {99.}

****
Radhasoami!

It is unfortunate that there exist
several rebellious, rival, puny offshoots of
the universal Radhasoami religion of Dayalbagh.

The redemptive Nij Dhar
or Incarnated Divine Current
can naturally reside in
a single sacred Form
at any given time.

A miracle is perhaps underway.

All the tributaries may gradually
retrace their courses back to
the Mother Ganga of Dayalbagh.

None may unravel
the mysterious workings of divinity,
yet I would much rather
both purity and monopoly of Dayalbagh
could have been ensured.

I await Grace’s workings
in the imminent times,
for our religion is destined
to deluge this world shortly.

Become Tough Enough for Life. {74.}

****
Radhasoami!

Our sacred but fledgling religion
has recently passed through a tough situation.

No, we must not be so cowardly
as to pray that the Supreme Lord
spare us such tests, trials and battles.

Let us accept that if our religion
is to gradually prevail
in the whole world
as humanity’s final, true panacea,
then we obviously have a lot of
hard work, problems, enemies, dangers,
ahead of us.

Let us instead pray for liberal
Grace, security, clarity, strength,
unity, resources, adequacy, victory.

As Param Guru Huzur Mehta Ji Maharaj had Advised,
let us practice “No despair.”

Let us also remember that,
1.
“What does not kill me,
makes me stronger."
{Friedrich Nietzsche.}
2.
“When the situation gets tough,
the tough get going.”
{Anonymous.}

The Radhasoami religion of Dayalbagh
guarantees true and final salvation
to the best among humanity,
but we have much work to do,
and we shall have several long battles;
our Faith is not for cowards,
it is for pure,
perfect and powerful souls.

Radhasoami!
