Divine Proximity Naturally Induces Humility. {151.}

It is only by

transcending one’s human ego

and nullifying one’s self

that one can possibly deserve God.

Proximity to God naturally induces

humility in the blessed soul.

One beholds the divine vision,

and realizes one’s sheer insignificance

in the infinite cosmic order,

in a manner of speaking.

Even the faith, godly proximity,

especial abilities and unique accomplishments

that the inspired may possess

are essentially gifts from God. 

The sincere soul remains humble

and immeasurably grateful to God.

Radhasoami!

O Lord, Fulfill Everyone’s Tasks. {100.}

****
Radhasoami!

“Soami Tum kaaj Banaye saban ke.”

That is,
“O Lord, Fulfill everyone’s tasks.”

This is the opening line
of a favorite Paath {hymn} of mine.

The line stresses that it is God
Who finally consummates all matters.

It is a humble plea for Grace.

It is a simple expression of gratitude.

The prayer wants everyone’s tasks --
not desires -- to be realized.

Most importantly, the prayer is
not selfish in its focus;
one seeks that the Lord
realize the tasks of all.

I may add that the word “tasks”
only inadequately conveys the import
that the word “kaaj” contains.

Indeed, the tasks are not worldly goals,
but basically denote the goal of salvation.

So, the hymn is a collective prayer
thanking the Lord for ensuring everyone's redemption.

Radhasoami!

Best Celebration of One’s Birthday. {84.}

****
Radhasoami!

March 9th is the sacred & auspicious Birthday
of Gracious Huzur “Prem” Saran Satsangi Saheb Ji;
and it’s naturally celebrated by Satsangis all over.

If you have not ever so far
celebrated your birthday in Dayalbagh,
try to do so,
by going for Arz {or supplication}with eatables,
and receiving Prashad {Sanctified offering}
from Most Revered Maalik Personally.

This can be the best possible
celebration of anyone’s birthday.

It is simultaneously
expressing gratitude for one’s birth
and rededication one’s entire life
to service of our
Most Glorious Mission
of universal salvation.

We must all always remain
deeply thankful to Maalik
for providing us with
such blessed, recurring opportunities,
at the expense of His Own Comfort.

It is extremely fortunate to become
the recipient of Grace
upon one’s very birthday
for the rest of one's life.

Radhasoami!
