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.
.
Radhasoami!

Spiritual Deeds Win Secret Rewards.
****

“Sansaar ki jo karthoot hai, uska phal jeeva ko pratyaksh nazrayi detha hai, is sabab se sansaar mein jaldi phans jatha hai. Aur parmarath ka phal gupt hai, us par jaldi nishchay nahin atha hai. Aur pahle nishchay hona zarur hai, kyonki bina nishchay ke karthoot kuchh nahin banegi aur jab kuchh karthoot na bani, tho phal kaise miley aur tarakki kaise howey.”

---- Param Purusha Puran Dhani Huzur Soami Ji Maharaj;
The Holy Sar Bachan {Nasr}; No. 172, Page 134.

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“With regard to worldly activities, one gets to see their manifest results, therefore, one gets entangled in the world easily. However, the rewards from spiritual activities are secret, and it is difficult to believe in them. It is necessary to first have the right belief {and trust}, for one cannot be enabled spiritual deeds in the absence of {faith and} conviction, and if one doesn’t perform any spiritual deeds, then how can there be any rewards or progress?”

Causation Works in Spirituality Fantastically. {90.}

****
Radhasoami!

The law of causation works true
in spirituality nonetheless
and magnified n times over.

What do I mean by this?

Well, it’s something like
good and bad stocks
in the securities markets.

If you invest a dollar
in a lousy stock,
you will certainly lose it.

Invest a dollar in a fair stock
and you may gain a few cents.

Investing in hot stocks ought to
get you magnified returns.

You may double your investment,
or get 10 times its return,
or even 100 times,
depending on the market factors,
trends and forces.

So much for causality
and variable returns in worldly matters.

Now, spirituality represents
a different dimension altogether.
So, the laws of causation work,
but the returns are naturally magnified
quite to the power of n times over.

God is the richest Being existent
and generosity comes naturally to Him.

So, invest a dollar
of pure love in God,
and you are bound to reap
a fortune in God’s love for you.

Invest a sincere prayer in God,
and the torrents of Grace
that engulf your life
will render your destiny
transformed for the better,
immeasurably and forever.

Spirituality is a very reliable playing field,
because God is the best bet and stock possible!

You can rest assured
none of your longings and efforts
is going quite unnoticed or waste.

Trust God,
do your bit, indeed, best,
and patiently await God’s justice.

God is God.
God proves He is God.
What must, indeed, will and does ... happen!

Faith is Trusting God’s Being. {89.}

****
Radhasoami!

Faith is trust in God.

Faith is trust ...
that God is of a certain type,
that God really loves us,
that God always truly cares,
that God is naturally omniscient,
that God is truly powerful.

Faith is knowing
that one is related with God.

Faith is what has one
pray to God.

Faith is waiting
for one’s prayers to turn true.

Faith is living
surrendered and dedicated to,
and dependent on God.

Do It; Regardless of Expectations. {73.}

****
Radhasoami!

“Dekho chahe na Dekho, Soami /
Main apni si kiye jaungi.”

Attaboy; that’s the spirit!

That is,
“I will continue my devotions,
I will continue my services,
whether You See or not
{meaning basically,
whether You Reward or not}.”

Well, I for one, have really been
long living these Paath or hymn lines.

I am proving it even now
in my writing these very words.

However, Soami Dekhte Hain
{the Lord Does See}.
I know it well because Gracious Huzur
had Amply Proven it n times to me,
& even Maalik now has no less.

But this really is the spirit
with which Satsangis must
perform their sundry acts of faith.

Be free of expectations.
All that I do
is merely my integrity.

You May See or not.
You May Be Pleased or not.
You May Reward or not,
at least as I might fathom it.

You Are Beyond my humble,
imperfect, insignificant, undeserving, powerless self.

& the Supreme Lord always Sees everything!
Rewards, if deserved, must take their time.

Radhasoami!
