Any Miracle for the Asking … {158.}

Miracles
naturally
occur to those
that really believe in them
and want them;
it’s as simple and easy as that!

Miracles are no miracles to God,
and there is perhaps little in existence
that’s not a miracle anyway!

God’s Miracles and Human Mind. {157.}

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.

Who Says I Am Human? {149.}

There is really little need
for the twain to meet,
since there exists,
no dichotomy or schism anyway.

It’s all in the mind,
the self breeding its ego,
a false perception of a remote God somewhere inaccessible,  
and the difference of others out there.

The mystical being is united
with God just as it is
with Her entire creation.

Having chosen birth as a human,
being alive and apparently living
as a human,
I temporarily somewhat succumbed
to the illusion
of my being a human.

Who says I am human?
Who can, with any semblance at honesty,
even presume to regard me a human,
at least as all the others are?

It is time for truth.
It is time for honesty.

I shackled my own infinite soul
with the bonds of false beliefs,
and sought my freedom
despite no slavery ever having been.

Ah, is the human verily foolish!  
Indeed, let the truth free one.

The hour of my transcendence draws near,
I delight at the joy
of final fusion with my eternal Beloved.

Tear away the blinkers from my eyes,
let all doubt and confusion forever end.

The devotee celebrates God’s glory,
rejoices in His numerous miracles,
and the furtherance of
His most glorious Mission
of universal salvation.

Please note that I wrote the above
essentially as a mystical realization,
and certainly do not literally claim godliness;
though the twilight mystical existence
between the human and God,
between life and its consummation,
does not allow of descriptions quite rational.

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 ....

Life is Akin to Hell. {134.}

Radhasoami!
****


A pig can be content
to wallow in the muck.


So, human contentment is hardly
an absolute measure
of one’s state of existence.


God, paradise, salvation,
and such words
have obviously remained mere words
despite umpteen divine incarnations worldwide,
many global religions,
and centuries of humanity’s
apparent quest for a veritable utopia.


Humanity is confused and floundering,
drowned in its own flood
of meaningless knowledge.


You’ve got to know
just what you’re missing
to truly want it.


The rare soul
who sincerely yearns for God
naturally believes in the hereafter
perhaps as all fail to.


To such a one,
life does become akin to hell
and eternal bliss draws her
across the threshold of life.


I fear this world seems destined
to witness many a disaster yet
before frolicking humanity really needs to:
believe in the beyond,
desperately turn to God,
and earnestly strive for its redemption.

Dayalbagh’s Radhasoami Religion is ‘Scientific’. {125.}

Dayalbagh’s Radhasoami Religion is ‘Scientific’. {125.}
****

Radhasoami!

There’s long been an apparent battle
between religion and science,
with the latter deriding the former
for its absurdity, irrationality, and fraud.

However, if science lies
in the scientific method
of experimentation, verification, repeatability,
then I dare say
the Radhasoami religion is absolutely scientific.

The objective seeker isn’t asked
to blindly believe in God.

You are free to try out
the prescribed meditation techniques
and convince yourself that God exists,
that Radhasoami is a name
of mystical potence,
and that the Param Guru of Dayalbagh
Is Radhasoami Dayal’s Living Incarnation.

Of course, this would entail
earnest meditation by the scientist,
but even routine scientific discoveries
are preceded by painstaking efforts.

It is a moot point
whether anyone would care to
scientifically verify the divine truths
that the Radhasoami religion propounds,
but such objective strivings remain welcome.

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.

Devote Yourself to Spirituality Intensely. {114.}

Devote Yourself to Spirituality Intensely. {114.}
****

Radhasoami!

I have a strange view
{indeed, most of my views
seem strange to most people,
but that’s beside the point!}
that only an excess works.

Life is a crowded, chaotic flux
and if you would have a difference be,
one needs to become an extremist.

Lest my words be misconstrued,
let me clarify my meaning and context.

Merely believing in God
Doesn’t get you paradise.

Merely becoming an initiated Satsangi
doesn’t ensure your early salvation.

Just dallying with spirituality
will attain you nothing.

Only an excess really works in life.

Either you do it,
or you just don’t;
alsorans amount to nothing!

So, devote yourself to spirituality
with your whole heart, will and soul.

If this means you need renounce
sundry comforts or pleasures,
well, just choose the greater value!

If this means enduring persecution
in its variegated base forms
at the instance of people
motivated by envy and malice,
continue absolutely along your path,
trusting the mystical Law
to vindicate you finally.

So, take stock of your state,
realize that you are far
from paradise yet.

Start doing the needful now;
God’s Grace guarantees your success!

Faith and Truth and Beliefs. {68.}

****
Radhasoami!

We apparently live in
our own individual worlds,
determined by our perceptions,
defined by our beliefs,
influenced by our desires,
and propelled by our written destinies.

True, free will is quite a laugh.
Humans are slaves
of their accumulated Sanskaras or tendencies,
and virtual prisoners of their beliefs.

So, what is the way out;
or, is there none?
A genuine quest for truth.
An ardent desire for salvation.

The way that one thinks is crucial.
Meditation is gradually acquiring mastery
over one’s way of thinking and thoughts.

Let one’s faith be pure.
Let one’s consistent honesty
and quest for truth
help render all one’s beliefs
to be true.

Faith, honesty, truth,
and right beliefs
will then enable right living,
which will evoke divine Grace.

Grace shall then draw the soul
closer to Its Reservoir.

The curtain shall then fall
upon an absurd play that
had best reach its end.

Radhasoami!
