Who Says I Am Human? {149.}


Radhasoami Dayal Ki Daya
Radhasoami Sahai

May Compassionate Radhasoami Shower His Grace
May Radhasoami Help
****

Radhasoami!
****

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.

My Loneliness Blossoms into Togetherness. {144.}


Radhasoami Dayal Ki Daya
Radhasoami Sahai

May Compassionate Radhasoami Shower His Grace

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!

Sacred Bhandara: Recalling Guru Bachans {29.}

Sacred Bhandara: Recalling Guru Bachans {29.}

Radhasoami!

Remain Satisfied with Master’s Grace.
****

Jo kuchh kaam karey, uske phal ko Satguru ki Mauj par chod dena chahiye aur jis tarah Waha Rakhen, usi mein khush rahey aur shikayath na karey. Is tarah bhee nishkarma ho sakta hai.”

---- Param Guru Huzur Maharaj Ji; Prashnottar, Guru Updesh, No. 32, Page 36.
****

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“Whatever work one does, one should leave its fruits to the Master’s Will and whichever way He Keeps one, one ought to remain happy with it and not complain. In this manner also can one become free of deeds.”

Habitually Yearn for Salvation Intensely.
****

Sumiran, Dhyan, Bhajan aur Pothi ka Paath karne waale Satsangi tho bahut milthe hain, magar aise Satsangi bahut kam hain jo sachhe dil se yeh chahte rahte hon ki is duniya ke ragdon jhagdon se jald chutkara ho, yaani shareer choot jaave aur Maalik ke Charnon mein pahunche. Is kism ki sachhi khwahish hona badi baath hai. Kisi waqt dukh aan kar pada, us waqt maut maang lena aur baath hai. Magar duniyawi sukhon ke hothe hue bhee jab sansaar se vairagya aur Maalik ke Charnon mein anurag dil mein bana rahe, tab samajhna chahiye ki prem jaaga.... Is kism ke sachhe bhakton ko Maalik Aap se Aap Kheenchta hai.”

---- Param Guru Maharaj Saheb Ji; Bachan, Part I, No. 20, Page 31.

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“There may be found many Satsangis who perform Sumiran, Dhyan and Bhajan, and recite Paath from the scriptures. But there are extremely few who honestly and wholeheartedly desire that they be freed from the troubles and squabbles of this world, i.e. they quit the mortal body and attain the Supreme Godhead’s Lotus Feet. An intense yearning of this nature is a great thing. It is a different matter if one asks for death while under duress from some particular grief. True love may be regarded to have been engendered if one develops indifference to the world and longing for one’s Supreme Parent even in the midst of worldly joys.”

Skirting on the Surface Perenially. {94.}

****
Radhasoami!

How long can this continue?
It is now getting unendurable.

This is just not it.

Mere skirting on the surface,
while the essence remains inaccessible.

Life has its own sundry
entanglements, limitations, compulsions and needs.

It merely perpetuates one’s bondage
to this world and life.

I long for the freedom
and transcendence that my soul
knows are its natural birthrights.

To slumber in life and
awaken blissfully to God within,
does not come quite easily.

I have been at it,
so may God help me;
I must gradually be nearing
the inner fusion I desire.

Let the soul awaken fast,
let God sanctify my soul.

God is to be realized,
I’ve had enough of this,
something must give way shortly,
I’ll access paradise very soon.

Radhasoami!
