Karmas’ Eradication within One Lifetime.
****

“Choonki kayi janmanjanm ke yani sanchit karma aur uske pahle janm ke prarabdh karma aur isi janam ke kriyamarn karma, sab isi ek janam mein Santon ne bhugthane hain, so agar in karmon ka poora poora phal bhugatna pade, tho yeh chola hee chhoot jaaye aur hum saha na saken. Magar Santon ne jo Farmaya hai ki sooli ka kanta aur man bhar ka chatank bhar kar dethe hain, yeh bilkul theek hai, warna ek janam mein saare karma saaf nahin ho sakte.... Is tarah bahut se karma abhyaas mein katthe hain.... Tho har ek jeeva jo chahiye ki jab Charnon mein aaya, pichle jo karma kar baitha tha unke wasthe pachtaye aur ayanda kadam phoonk phoonk kar rakhe.... ‘Radhasoami Choden na jise Gahen ri.’”

---- Param Guru Huzur Sarkar Saheb Ji; Bachan Bhag I, No. 25, Page 176.

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“Because the load of the accumulated karmas of countless lifetimes and the latent karmas of the previous lifetime and the manifest karmas of the present birth, the Saints are to cause all to be worked out in this single lifetime, so if the effects of these karmas were to be borne in full, then the body would have to be shed and we would not be able to endure it. However, as the Saints have Declared that the stake gets converted into a thorn and They reduce a ton to a mere speck, this is absolutely right, otherwise all the karmas could not be eradicated within one lifetime.... In this manner, umpteen karmas get worked out while in meditation.... So every being ought to, ever since surrenderance unto the holy Feet, feel remorse for one’s past karmas and henceforth perform karmas with grave deliberation {caution}.... ‘Radhasoami Doesn’t Let go of those He Grasps.’”

Desirability of Awakening Soul’s Powers.
****

“Is baath ka khyal rakhna chahiye ki duniyan mein agar badshahath bhee mil jaave, tho waha bhee chandroza hai. Isse khushi asli nahin ho sakti hai. Farz karo ki ek shakhs badshah hai. Doosre shakhs ne tan man ke parey jo surat ki shakti hai, usko jagaya hai, jisse waha is zindagi mein bhee khush rahta hai aur marne ke baad bhee. Ab khyal karo ki jo badshah mahaz 10, 20, 50 saal badshahat karke khush rahta hai, aur doosra, jisne surat ki taakath jagayi hai, hamesha is zindagi mein wa baad marne ke bhee khush rahta hai, tho waha zyada khush hua ya badshah? Isliye tum sabko chahiye ki padhne ke saath saath apni surat ki taakath bhee jagane ki koshish karthe raho aur duniyan ke khushi ke samaan ke paane par magan nahin hona chahiye, yeh khyal karke ki yeh thehrau anand nahin hai ya ismein asal phayda humari rooh ka nahin hai.”

---- Param Guru Huzur Saheb Ji Maharaj; Bachan Bhag I, No. 13, Page 312.

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“It must always be borne in mind that even if one were to get kingship in the world, it would only be temporary. It cannot lead to true happiness. Suppose there is a king. Another person has awakened his soul’s powers, which are beyond the body or the mind, so that he gets happiness both in this life and in the hereafter. Now consider that the king who remains happy with his kingship for mere 10, 20, 50 years, and the other, who has awakened his soul’s powers, and remains happy both in life and even beyond it, so is he the happier person or the king? That is why you all should, along with your studies, continue trying to awaken your soul’s powers, and upon acquiring a worldly pleasurable object, you should not feel overjoyed, bearing in mind that the happiness it yields is not lasting, or that it doesn’t result in any real spiritual benefit for oneself.”

Radhasoami Dayal Ensuring Sangath’s Prosperity.
****

“But now Huzur Radhasoami Dayal has turned His attention towards the Satsang community and has disclosed to everyone the way of getting deliverance and living successfully in both the swarthi {or worldly} and parmarthi {or spiritual} matters so that people of this community may depart from here happily enjoying both and merge in the Feet of Radhasoami Dayal.... the prosperity that is coming in the Sangath will stay and be permanent because when Radhasoami Dayal has mercifully enquired of the sufferings and has arranged for their removal, this arrangement of His will endure for all times to come.”

---- Param Guru Huzur Mehta Ji Maharaj; Selected Bachans of Param Guru Huzur Mehtaji Maharaj, Bachan No. 23, Page 35.

Radhasoami!

Attending Sacred Bhandaras Immensely Beneficial. {70.}

****
Radhasoami!

Satsangis are scattered the world over.

The Radhasoami religion revolves around
the Revered Leader.

True, the Guru Bachan
that had prophesied
that we would be able to have
the Sant Satguru’s Darshan
even though distant
has been fulfilled
at least in part.

However, pilgrimage to Dayalbagh,
especially upon sacred Bhandaras,
Gracious Huzur’s “Sakshath Darshan”,
or beholding of Real Countenance,
the fortune of Dhan ki Seva as Bhent,
{monetary service as a contribution}
paying homage at the Pavan Smrityalaya,
the Prashad of Sale,
and Arz {or supplication}at His Lotus Feet,
all have the potential of conferring
incalculable spiritual benefit upon devotees,
if performed sincerely and rightly.

Let us not doubt that
God exists in right faith,
and Radhasoami Dayal Is always Fully Aware
of everyone’s karmas and sanskaras
{deeds and tendencies}.

Finally, Grace will consummate matters
better than we might hope.

Radhasoami!
