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.

Radhasoami!

Sacred Bhandara: Recalling Guru Bachans. {76.}

Radhasoami!
****


Attaining Unalloyed Bliss, True Contentment.
****


Sachha santosh tab avega jab surat aur man ko oonche deshon ke anand prapth honge aur jyon jyon oonche sthan ki chadhayi hothi javegi, usi kadar anand badhta javega aur Nij Desh mein poora santosh aur poora anand prapth hoga.”


---- Param Guru Huzur Maharaj Ji; Prashnothar, Guru Updesh, No. 59, Page 39.

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:


“True contentment will come when the soul and mind partake of the bliss of the higher realms, and as ascent to the loftier regions keeps occuring, joy will correspondingly increase, and total bliss and complete contentment will be attained in the Original Abode.”

Radhasoami!
