My Loneliness Blossoms into Togetherness. {144.}

Radhasoami Dayal Ki Daya

Radhasoami Sahai

May Compassionate Radhasoami Shower His Grace

May Radhasoami Help

****

Radhasoami!

****

in loneliness i recklessly 
delved deep within myself

until there was no i

to even experience feeling alone.

whom they all call god

is my being;

i have realized the truth

but life thralls me yet.

i long for the freedom

that was mine before birth

and i shall triumph

in challenging, transcending death.

god is a mere

state of my being.

and paradise the home

all exiled yearn for.

Radhasoami!

I Never Asked for It. {111.}

Radhasoami!

One might wonder at why
one happens to be alive.

One may choose to think,
one never asked for it.

But that isn’t really true.

One was born because one
must have wanted one’s birth.

One is alive because one
essentially wants to be alive.

It’s all got to do
with the soul and one’s
accumulated karmas and present sanskaras
{respectively meaning, deeds and tendencies}.

Sure, one may be encumbered
by one’s past negative karmas,
but all that can be
nullified with one’s present karmas.

It’s said that one can
fight fire only with fire.

So, when the world asserts itself,
battle it with one’s deep spirituality.

When people trouble you,
battle for your values.

The self is willy-nilly pitted
in a battle with most of non-self.

I mean battle figuratively, of course,
though it frequently occurs literally too.

One ought to live
intensely committed to God,
with indifference, goodwill, compassion
towards all of life,
{no, there’s no fundamental contradiction
in what I wrote above}
and earnestly persevering for one’s salvation.

This is the very best
of all philosophy and religions,
of course as I humbly see it.

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!
