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.

Radhasoami!

Difference between Gurumukh and Manmukh.
****

Gurumukh har ek ke saath sachhayi se barathta hai aur burayi ki baathon se bachta hai aur kisi ko dhokha nahin detha hai aur jo kaam karta hai Satguru ke liye aur Unki Daya ke bharose par karta hai.
Manmukh chaturayi aur kapat se barathta hai aur apne matlab ke liye auron ko dhokha detha hai, apni buddhi aur chaturayi ka bharosa rakhta hai aur apne aap ko pragat karna chahta hai.”

---- Param Purusha Puran Dhani Huzur Soami Ji Maharaj;
The Holy Sar Bachan {Nasr}; No. 262:1, Page 192.
****

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“The Gurumukh {Guru-oriented} conducts himself honestly with everyone and guards against bad things and doesn’t deceive anyone, and whatever he does, he does for the Satguru, and remaining dependent on His Grace.
The Manmukh {ego-driven} conducts himself with insincerity and cleverness, and deceives others for his own interests, banks on his own intelligence and cleverness, and wants to project his own self.”

Radhasoami!

Younger Satsangi Workers: Type Required.
****

“... Humko younger workers chahiyen. ... Waha Satsangi tandrusth hon, kaam karne mein hoshiyar hon, kabil hon. Unmein kaam karne ki imandaari ho aur kaam karne ka shauk ho. Wah disciplined bhee hon.”

---- Param Guru Huzur Lal Saheb Ji.
****

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“... We require younger workers. ... These Satsangis should be healthy, expert at tasks, and competent. They should be honest in their work and ought to have enthusiasm for work. They should also be disciplined.”

Faith and Truth and Beliefs. {68.}

****
Radhasoami!

We apparently live in
our own individual worlds,
determined by our perceptions,
defined by our beliefs,
influenced by our desires,
and propelled by our written destinies.

True, free will is quite a laugh.
Humans are slaves
of their accumulated Sanskaras or tendencies,
and virtual prisoners of their beliefs.

So, what is the way out;
or, is there none?
A genuine quest for truth.
An ardent desire for salvation.

The way that one thinks is crucial.
Meditation is gradually acquiring mastery
over one’s way of thinking and thoughts.

Let one’s faith be pure.
Let one’s consistent honesty
and quest for truth
help render all one’s beliefs
to be true.

Faith, honesty, truth,
and right beliefs
will then enable right living,
which will evoke divine Grace.

Grace shall then draw the soul
closer to Its Reservoir.

The curtain shall then fall
upon an absurd play that
had best reach its end.

Radhasoami!
