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.

The Essence among the Diversity. {95.}

Radhasoami!

Life is a kaleidoscopic play
of Maya, or illusory reality.

It is easy to get lost
in the big and bad world.

Most people have lost their direction,
{or probably, they never had any},
yet keep going from sheer momentum
of the elementary urge to live.

Pause ... for a while, and reflect;
It’s never too late for anything.

This human birth is precious,
life is a priceless opportunity.

Seek the valuable, beyond the muck.
Seek God, beyond the world’s attractions.
Seek redemption, beyond life’s sundry temptations.

It’s a long uphill climb within.
There’s little time to be wasted.

The hell with everything else;
just strive for salvation earnestly.

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!
