The human mind is quite central

to the occurrence of divine miracles

in two contrary ways.

Firstly, it is the mind that allows

one’s faith to leap across usual ‘reality’

propeled by desire, mystical insights and beliefs.

Finally, it is the mind

naturally attuned to

a perception and comprehension of

God’s inconceivable Grace and glories

that merits, causes and allows

the very occurrence of miracles.

But the mind thinks only because

the heart loves God

and the soul

yearns for its lost bliss

wedded to the Being

that existed before It sired creation.

The mystery is resolved

only when the self

awakens to God

by transcending its human ego.

Radhasoami!

****

Yes, this is it,

quite tantalizingly close, anyway.

The whirl subsides,

the Beauty draws.

Mystically dancing by the very 

edge of limited human reality; 

as the ego gets beheaded,

I eerily slide off it,  

into the abyss that contains

heavens yielding their unalloyed truths.

The fulcrum that governs life,

the seat of the soul,

God’s aspect nascent within me,

face to face with God,

reborn into a functional force.

I transcend life’s measly bondage,

gliding among the eternal skies

of infinite awareness, consciousness, and

the bliss of reclaimed Home.

Radhasoami!

I am nought save in my faith.

I think of nothing else.

I value only God’s Pleasure.

I desire only redemption soon.

I speak only about mysticism.

I do but serve Mission.

I am shut to all else

and singlemindedly concentrated on my goal.

The inevitable has to occur,

is happening now,

and will naturally continue

until my faith stands fully consummated.

God shall really become and prove

the reality and experience

to my entire life and fate.  

So, let Grace work miracles,

even as I humbly pray

to the Supreme Force that causes

this entire existential play.

There’s Many a Slip Betwixt … {135.}

Radhasoami!

Yes, there’s many a slip betwixt …


the cup & the lip,


one’s being & its perceptions,


the aspiration & the action,


the deed & the outcome,


the belief & the reality,


the emotion & attained happiness,


the truth & its expression,


the sin & its reckoning,


this world & utopian ideal,


one’s faith & its consummation,


one’s prayer & God’s Grace,


life's uncertainties & death's finality,


one’s meditation & final redemption.


Indeed, too many a slip betwixt ....

Radhasoami!

Stop … Pause Awhile … Wonder … Think! {132.}

Radhasoami!
****


Halt!
Pause awhile.


Stop living your usual life.
Take a break from routine.


You’ve been doing it for too long enough.
Have you got what you desired or expected?
Are you headed in the right direction?
Will this lead you to your destination?


The unreflected life is measly existence
or a brutish engagement
in the senseless ratrace
that characterizes most life.


Get out of the rut.
Accept that you are yet alien to God,
remote from the possibility
of your salvation,
and guarantee of attaining paradise.


This world is a temporary station,
decreed by the gods for destruction.


Life is but an illusory reality.


Tap into your innermost being,
you shall access the divine spark ,
which is your priceless soul.


This world is mere quicksand
and life a fleeting chance
for you to realize God.


Prove that you are a being
made in the likeness of God --
aware, enlightened, responsible, moral --
by valuing and persevering for your redemption
seriously, rightly, earnestly, determinedly, intensely, ….


Take a break
from your way of living,
and invent another
more adequate for your salvation.

Radhasoami!

None of This is It. {127.}

None of This is It. {127.}
****

Radhasoami!

There’s something fractured and dissatisfactory
about life that is frustrating.

The best of experiences still lack
that certain something real, desired, meaningful.

Human language proves utterly inadequate
if one aspires to describe
the most sublime of experiences;
expression remains denied to me.

I cannot help constantly feeling
it’s on the other side;
call it God, reality, truth,
bliss, completeness, eternity, salvation, paradise.

Beyond the threshold of life,
across the embrace of death,
perhaps awaits my Supreme Parent,
I strive with that trust,
longing to transcendentally leap across.

Desire for God and Salvation. {124.}

Desire for God and Salvation. {124.}
****

Radhasoami!

The Buddha had named desire
as the root of suffering.

Desire is, indeed, central to
all human engagements and desserts.

Nothing in life can be achieved
without a consuming desire for it.

Alsorans fare ill even in spirituality,
which mandates total commitment.

The essential perspective in the blockbuster film The Matrix
is not without its foundation in reality and logic.

This world and life are not real
they are merely a means
for the soul to awaken
and arrive unto its Maker.

The one who lives
determined and guided by
this perspective and focus
naturally grows indifferent to the
fleeting plays of illusory reality.

Hence, one ought to form
only the fewest of relationships,
involve in the world minimally,
and limit one’s external attachments.

Let the soul ever meditate
longing ardently for its Parent,
and eternal bliss in the loftiest paradise.

Desire only God and salvation
sincerely, rightly, wholeheartedly, intensely.

God inexorably draws such a one
unto Her sacred lap and bosom.

Faith Does Win, Work Wonders. {122. }

Faith Does Win, Work Wonders. {122. }
****

Radhasoami!

Religion is analogous with God,
and God synonymous with faith.

God is primarily one’s belief
in what constitutes true reality,
governs life and determines fate.

Life is just too base
to represent this existence’s best;
there must be the transcendental.

Faith enables both better living
and directed efforts towards salvation.

During times of especial trial,
try and test your faith,
polishing it into an anchor
that you can rest upon.

Anyone can believe in God
upon the evidence of miracles;
but genuine faith is absolute
and finally evokes God satisfactorily.

Living Constantly Close to Death. {117.}

Living Constantly Close to Death. {117.}
****

Radhasoami!

One should be close to God.

God is the reality the fortunate access
after having quit life itself.

The blessed rare manage to experience God
internally in meditation while alive.

It pays to remain aware,
clear about things,
God is beyond,
reality is transcendental,
body is bondage,
life is shackles.

One can considerably hasten
one’s evolution towards salvation,
by living in constant
remembrance of one’s death.

It is said that people who survive
a close brush with death,
emerge from it much changed.

This must be quite true.

Hence, one can consciously cultivate
such an attitude within oneself.

It is bound to trigger off
several positive stirrings within your being.

Live: close to death,
earnestly persevering for salvation!

The Death that All Dread. {112.}

****
Radhasoami!

Param Sant Kabir Sahib Ji
has penned umpteen memorable lines,
including the following:
“Ja marne se jag darey / Mere man anand
Kab mariho kab paiyo / Puran parmanand.”

That is,
“The death that all fear / I long for
Oh, when would I die and attain / Complete bliss.”

Caught up as we are
in the whirl of life,
it might be worthwhile to
pause and wonder about what
lies on the other side,
how one might cross over,
and achieve one’s true salvation.

Death is not to be feared;
it is the gateway to redemption.

Life is not the ultimate reality;
it’s a kaleidoscope offering a chance
for deserving souls to ensure salvation.

Let’s all value and live rightly,
focused on the paradise beyond life!

Radhasoami!

Life is An Action Medium. {109.}

****
Radhasoami!

Life is a medium of action.

One defines oneself by one’s actions.
It is only by acting that one can
live and experience life.

Speaking is a potent activity,
and practically indispensable among humans.

However, even thought represents activity;
thoughts are also actions of another genre.

One’s prayers constitute noble actions.

Meditation, sitting alone with one’s eyes closed,
signifies vibrant action on a lofty plane.

Hence, don’t confuse merely
physical activity with actions.

Life is a platform requiring activity,
but one is free to choose
the sundry planes and modes
one wishes to perform one’s actions in
for corresponding effects and results.

Foregoing the worldly reality may
open oneself to divine glories.

Don’t let your actions
get committed by default,
nor grant others the right
to act on your behalf.

Unto you your actions and fate,
and unto me my valued desserts.

Radhasoami!
****

Radhasoami Religion is about Death. {106.}

****
Radhasoami!

This world is not real.

Life is brief, and merely
an opportunity to attain salvation.

The meaning and purpose of life
stem from but its eventual cessation.

This may sound strange,
but is nevertheless true.

It is the deserving soul
that early, clearly and seriously
dedicates itself to achieving redemption.

Meditation in the prescribed manner,
helped by the Guru’s Grace,
can enable any sincere devotee
to experience death during meditation,
to transcend and master death.

Death naturally loses its sting
for such a blessed devotee.

One realizes what reality is,
and knows that one has
attained a paradise that’s
glorious, blissful and eternal.

Radhasoami!

Basically, It’s All Entirely Internal. {47.}

****
Radhasoami!

God exists in one’s faith.

Reality remains a personal experience.

Being is in one’s consciousness.

One’s awareness partakes of the
ultimate Reservoir of all awareness.

Truth is a matter of mere perception,
determined by one’s faith,
beliefs, way of thinking,
& sundry other compulsions.

Truth generally has little to do
with truth, per se.

What then determines individual differences,
causing the one to head for paradise
& the other to roast in hell?

The essence of one’s values,
& integrity in living life.

What motivates most human living?
Desires & the compelling urge
to somehow ensure their fulfillment.

To realize as much
& transcend through renunciation,
constitutes hastening one’s spiritual progress
& moving swifter towards God.

The route to God is internal.

People & the world & life are respectively
usually merely pests and nuisances,
an external environment,
an incidental medium,
for enabling one’s internal ascent.

Such clarity doubtless leads to
more committed, concentrated, effective efforts.

Let’s not waste our precious time
in this rare opportunity
provided by fortunate Satsangi human birth.

Cut out the crap that engages you,
& realize that
basically it’s all entirely internal.

The path is to be trod
& you alone can possibly do it,
& you must move towards your salvation.

That is precisely why
you have been born
& are now living.

Radhasoami!
