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.’”

The Effects of Others’ Company.

“Phir sohbath ke baare mein Farmaya ki iska bhee bada asar hotha hai. Ek aadmi ke andar se kaam, krodha, lobha, moha aur ahankaar in panch angon ki beshumar dhaaren har waqt bahar nikalti rahti hain aur uske gird ek ek dhaar ek halks banathi hai. Is tarah se sansari aadmi ki fawware ki manindh {tarah} sab gilazath {gandgi} bahar nikal rahi hai. Tho jo shakhs aise shakhs ki sohbath karta hai, us par us gande halke ka asar zarur padta hai. Lekin mahatma aur Sant jan ki Sohbath se bada phayda hotha hai, kyonki Unke andar se sheel, kshama, ki Dhaaren nikal rahi hain, jo roshan daayra {ghera} banathi hain ... Agar kahin bhaag se Sant ya saadh ki Sangath mil jaave, tho usse bada phayda hotha hai, kyonki Waha Nirmal Chetan Desh ke bhandar Hain. Unse jo Dhaaren nikal rahi hain, waha tho bahut hee roshan aur prakashwan hain aur bahut dhoor dhoor thak asar karti hain.”

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“Then Pronounced upon the subject of the company one keeps that it has great influence upon one. From everyone, the currents of lust, anger, greed, attachment and ego, umpteen rays of these five tendencies are every moment emerging out and creating an {aura or} energy-field around the person. In this manner, from a worldly person, like a fountain, such impurities keep sprouting forth.... So, whoever remains in the company of such a person, will definitely be susceptible to the adverse effects of such a dirty impact. But great benefit is derived from the company of the evolved souls and of the Saints, because from their beings, the streams of serenity and forgiveness flow out, forming a refulgent aura, ... If one is ever fortunate enough to attain the company of a Saint or a evolved soul, then one benefits incalculably therefrom, because They are the repositories of the Pure Spiritual Region. The currents that emanate from Them are extremely splendrous and shining and cause an effect up to considerable distances.”

Avoid Accepting, Using Others’ Things.

“... yeh matlab hai ki jo cheez jis tarah se kamayi ya ikatthi ki hui hai, uska asar zarur lene waale par padta hai aur yeh atal baath hai. Kisi shakhs ko kisi doosre ki cheez grahan nahin karni chahiye, kyonki jis tarah se jo cheez ikatthi hui hai, uspar, balki uske ek ek zarre par usi tarah ke karma ka bhaar chadha hua hai. Is tarah se waha uske karmon se ladhi hui hai. Jo shakhs waha cheez lega, waha un karmon ka bhaar apne oopar chadhavega. Balki ek Satsangi ko doosre Satsangi ki bhee cheez nahin leni chahiye, na hee khaan-paan karna chahiye, kyonki har ek ke karma mukhtalif {bhinn bhinn} hain, kisi ke zyada, kisi ke kam. Agar mazboori haalath mein koi cheez leni pade, tho uska ewaz usko zarur dena chahiye. Agar waha na leve, tho parmarath mein utna kharch kar deve. Agar Daya se Sant Mahatma kisi ki cheez Isthemal Karen, tho dene waale par badi Daya hothi hai.”

---- Param Guru Huzur Sarkar Saheb Ji; Bachan Bhag I, No. 17, Page 157.

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“... it means that whichever way a thing has been earned or accumulated, its effect definitely occurs on the person who takes it. No person should use anything that belongs to another, because the way that the article has been accumulated, that article, rather, every atom of that article, becomes laden with the effect of that particular type of karmas. Hence, a thing is loaded with its owner’s karmas. If someone takes that thing, he will take upon himself its such karmas. Indeed, even a Satsangi should not take anything belonging to another Satsangi, nor should eat or drink at another’s expense, because everyone’s karmas are different, some more, some less. If the force of circumstances {or situations} constrains one to take something from someone, then one should give something in return for it. If the other does not accept it, one ought to spend that much on spiritual matters. If the saints or great souls mercifully use something belonging to another, then the donor becomes the recipient of considerable Grace.”

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.”

Transcend Space-Time-Causation Dimension. {78.}

****
Radhasoami!

There is a Guru Bachan
to the effect that
Sumiran helps one to transcend
the dimension of space-time-causation.
{Sumiran: chanting the divine Name.}

I don’t recall the exact words,
but I am yet
to comprehend it fully.

If constant Sumiran really can cause
{as it naturally must
because the Guru Bachans are true!}
one to transcend the barriers
of space, time and causation,
then one virtually ceases
to remain a human.

One becomes free from all karmas or actions,
even the ones that one commits,
since one always lives
inspired by God, dedicated to God,
and enveloped in consciousness of God.

God alone is the real,
mysterious, and absolute
dimension to existence;
so miracles need not surprise
one evolving closer to God.

True spirituality is mind-boggling;
the comfort of cozy beliefs
that one shares with others
needs to be shunned totally.

God demands and deserves transcendence.

Mysticism is only for those who can
walk the delicate internal tightrope to God!

Radhasoami!
