Remember During Difficult Times Ahead.

“... musibathon ka zamana ab shuru hua hai aur Radhasoami Dayal ki taraf se sab devi, devataon, aag, paani, wageirah ke naam Parvane zaari ho gaye hain ki waha apna kaam shuru karen aur apni poori taakathen isthemal mein laaven. ... yeh haalath hogi ki har Satsangi wa gair Satsangi ke moonh se yeh lafz khud ba khud niklenge ki agar ek ghanta aur Radhasoami Dayal humari khabar nahin Lenge, tho humara sabka khatma ho javega. Us Waqt Radhasoami Dayal Apni Poori Daya Zaahir Karenge, aur tab logon ko aslee kadar Sant Satguru ki maloom hogi. Us waqt jo log pehle Satsangi honge, waha bheeng zarur jaenge, magar tairthe {afloat} rahenge. Us waqt Satsangiyon ko in theen baathon ka khyal rakhne se bahut madad milegi. Awwal yathashakti Sumiran, Dhyan, Bhajan karna. Doyam aapas mein gahra ithifaak aur muhabbat rakhni aur ek doosre ki musibath mein madad karni. Soyam, us waqt par agar Sant Satguru unke paas Maujood Hon, tho Unki, warna majority of Satsangis {Satsangiyon ki aksariyath} ki raay par amal karna, apni zathi raay ko amal mein na laana.”


---- Param Guru Huzur Saheb Ji Maharaj; Bachan Bhag I, No. 167, Page 433.

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:


“... times full of difficulties have now begun and Orders have been Issued at the Behest of Radhasoami Dayal to all goddesses, gods, fire, water, etc. that they should commence their works and employ all the powers at their disposal. ... it will be such that from the mouth of every Satsangi and non-Satsangi the words will naturally be evoked that if for a single hour more Radhasoami Dayal Does not Care for us, then we would all be destroyed. During that time, Radhasoami Dayal Will Manifest His Full Grace, and then people will realize the true value of the Revered Leader. During that period, those who will have been former Satsangis, would certainly be drenched, but they will remain afloat. During that period, Satsangis can be helped tremendously by bearing the following three points in mind. Firstly, to perform Chanting of the Name, Contemplation of the Form, Meditation, etc. to the best of one’s ability. Secondly, to harbor close links and retain love among one another. Thirdly, if that time the Revered Leader Happens to Be Present, then by His Will, otherwise, to go by the will of the majority of Satsangis, and not to follow one’s individual inclinations.”

Ceaselessly Worship the Jealous Lord.
****


“Maalik bada Irshavan {Jealous} Hai. Waha Chahta Hai ki tumhare dil mein siwaay Uske aur koi na ho.... Jo har waqt chaubis ghanta Sumiran Dhyan mein rahta hai, uska tho kahna hee kya hai, lekin jo dho waqt sabere shaam har roz niyama ke saath sadhana karta hai, usko bahut zyada phayda hoga.... ki sansaar se upraam chith rahega .... Lekin har kisi ko ek waqt tho zarur sadhana karna hee chahiye. Agar koi ek waqt bhee sadhana nahin karta hai, tho waha Satsangi kahlane ka adhikari nahin hai.”


---- Param Guru Huzur Saheb Ji Maharaj; Bachan Bhag II, No. 204, Page 343.
****


Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:


“The Lord is extremely Jealous. He Wants that none else should occupy your heart except Him.... The one who always, round-the-clock, remains engaged in Chanting the Name and Contemplation of the Form, it is just too good, but even someone who meditates twice daily, in the morning and evening, derives considerable benefit therefrom.... that will remain indifferent to the world .... But everyone should definitely meditate at least once daily. If one doesn’t meditate even once daily, then that person does not deserve to be called a Satsangi.”

“Sant Satguru ke saath preeti pratheeti karo. Wah sab duniyadaron aur duniya ke bakhedon se Chudawenge aur Apne mein preeti aisi Lagawenge ki jo param anand ko prapth karawegi. Duniya ke thagon ke saath preeti karo, tho wah aise sakht thaur se apne jaal mein jeeva ko jakad lenge ki marte waqt nihayath mushkil padegi.”

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:


“You should develop love for and faith in the Revered Leader. He Will Extricate you from the squabbles of the worldly people and the world, and Inspire devotion to Him in such a manner that you will attain unto ultimate bliss. If one harbors love for the frauds of the world, then they will so deeply entangle the living being in their traps that it will cause one immense difficulty at the time of death.”

Love: Be-all, End-all of Existence.
****

“A heart devoid of love and affection is as hard as stone, and does not form a suitable receptacle for the light of heavenly Grace and Mercy....
Love or the power of attraction is the basis of the whole creation and the cause of its sustenance and preservation....
Love has no bounds, knows no restrictions, and is not limited by conditions, and like its source, is extensive and far-reaching in its beneficial results.”

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.”

“Faith built up on pure and sincere love for the Supreme Being
is strong and immovable like a mountain,
and love founded on strong faith goes on increasing,
till it carries the lover to its fountainhead, the beloved Supreme Being.
Both strong love and strong faith are sure and certain means
to the attainment of perfect salvation.
They are inseparable from each other.”

“Sincere love is reciprocal.
So, if one has a heart full of love for the Supreme Being,
He is sure to be attracted towards him by Grace, Mercy and holy Light,
which will gradually illumine his inner self,
and then all menial or worldly affections and desires will gradually disappear.”

“Sumiran, Dhyan, Bhajan aur Pothi ka Paath karne waale Satsangi tho bahut milthe hain, magar aise Satsangi bahut kam hain jo sachhe dil se yeh chahte hon ki is duniya ke ragdon jhagdon se jald chutkara ho, yani shareer choot jaave aur Maalik ke Charnon mein pahunchen.”

Such a person’s redemption will definitely take place, regardless of the thought of whether it does so early or late. And however the person may be, no harm can come to her {or him}.”

‘“Jakey hirday Guru partheeti, Kaal karam wasey nahin jeethi.’
Jis par Guru ki Kripa hogi, uskey nazdeek Kaal aur karam nahin avenge. Kul rachna ke sir par uska danka hoga. Koi chinta usko nahin hogi. Jo Sath Dhaar hai, wahi Mauj ki Dhaar hai. Aise premi ki kul karrawayi, kya swarthi kya parmarthi, Mauj se hothi hai. Uskey man mein koi chaha nahin rahti. Phir Kaal wa karam kisko dukh deven. Jiski karrawayi Maalik ki Mauj se hothi hai, ussey Kaal wa karam khud darte hain aur kaampte hain. Aise premijan ki pal pal chin chin mein Guru Aap Sambhal Karte Hain. Waha bhee aath pahar Guru ke rang mein ranga rahta hai aur prem mein bheega rahta hai. Jo Radhasoami Dayal ke Charnon mein aye hain, maha badabhaagi hain.”

---- Param Guru Maharaj Saheb Ji; Bachan Part II, No. 111, Page 112.
****

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:
‘“A person whose heart flows with love for the Lord,
Kaal and deeds cannot defeat such a one.’
The one who is the recipient of the Lord’s Grace finds Kaal and deeds remaining distant from him. He will have suzerainty over the entire creation. He will have no worry. The Current from Satloka is the Current representing divine Will. All the activities of such a devotee, whether it is material or spiritual, occur determined by the divine Will. He has no desire left in his mind. So, whom can Kaal or deeds cause sorrow? Indeed, Kaal and deeds are themselves scared of the devotee, all of whose matters are governed by divine Will, and remain trembling. The Guru Himself Takes care of such a devotee every moment. Even he remains absorbed in the Guru’s essence around-the-clock and remains bathed in love. Those who have taken refuge in Radhasoami Dayal’s Lotus Feet are extremely fortunate indeed.”
