Radhasoami Dayal Ki Daya

Radhasoami Sahai

May Compassionate Radhasoami Shower His Grace

May Radhasoami Help

****

Radhasoami!

****

Don’t let them fool you!

Don’t let anyone at all,

even their gods or gurus,

ever fool you.

Don’t let even the scriptures

truly distance you from God.

It may perhaps not seem very exciting

but remains truer no whit

that love and goodness capsule

the best of all religions.

Be wary of and shun

anything that distorts the truth,

entails you lying to yourself,

hating rather than loving beings,

and hurting others on howsoever ‘lofty’ pretexts.

For all their tall talk on God,

just continue to:

see straight,

feel honestly,

think rightly,

do good,

persevere steadfastly for redemption.

For this is dark Kaliyuga

and the prophets have predicted

this world will turn

crazier and baser

than the living could endure.

Your conscience is a safer guide

than any guru

that has you run

foul to your best values.

Ah, hearken and be warned,

for these are tumultuous times,

and before you seek a guru

know and befriend your soul first!

Finally, dear God, it seems

this world desperately needs be saved

from its sundry religions,

and humanity sorely needs be saved

from its fraudulent gurus.

They’ve all but stood truth

on its head

and are now gleefully dancing

around its grave!

Longing to Sing a Song. {155.}

Radhasoami Dayal Ki Daya

Radhasoami Sahai

May Compassionate Radhasoami Shower His Grace

May Radhasoami Help

****

Radhasoami!

****

I’m longing to sing a song

to your ineffable glory

the like of which

no human may have penned before.

A song that revels in your sheer glory.

A song laced with love,

stemming from faith,

and fueled by mystical yearnings.

A melodious ode that seems like

a celebratory dance captured in words.

A hymn that traces the origin of creation,

encompasses all your existence,

and culminates with the apocalyptic dissolution.

Insights, visions and emotions within me

seek an expression in human language

that it is ill-equipped for.

So, help me, my Supreme Lord,

write the unique song

to your eternal glory

that I wish to live

in my fleeting timespan here.

Choose Guru, Not the World.

“Sant Satguru ke saath preeti pratheeti karo. Wah sab duniyadaron aur duniya ke bakhedon se Chudawenge aur Apne mein preeti aisi Lagawenge ki jo param anand ko prapth karawegi. Duniya ke thagon ke saath preeti karo, tho wah aise sakht thaur se apne jaal mein jeeva ko jakad lenge ki marte waqt nihayath mushkil padegi.”

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:


“You should develop love for and faith in the Revered Leader. He Will Extricate you from the squabbles of the worldly people and the world, and Inspire devotion to Him in such a manner that you will attain unto ultimate bliss. If one harbors love for the frauds of the world, then they will so deeply entangle the living being in their traps that it will cause one immense difficulty at the time of death.”

Love: Be-all, End-all of Existence.

“A heart devoid of love and affection is as hard as stone, and does not form a suitable receptacle for the light of heavenly Grace and Mercy....
Love or the power of attraction is the basis of the whole creation and the cause of its sustenance and preservation....
Love has no bounds, knows no restrictions, and is not limited by conditions, and like its source, is extensive and far-reaching in its beneficial results.”

This humble blog is overpoweringly magical.
This need not quite astonish anyone,
since miracles come naturally to God.

The Name Radhasoami is divine.
God’s Awareness & Grace Sanctify

A temple is a mere building
unless God’s Awareness & Grace descend.

This blog is a blessed blog.

Any visitor to this blog
shall leave it subtly transformed.
She or he may not
realize, believe, or accept it;
but her or his destiny

Beyond the human ego,
at the plane of the soul,
Grace shall work through this blog
to tug the readers’ souls Godward.
As water naturally flows down,
the soul aspires to fly towards God.
This blog shall serve as the impetus
that hastens your spiritual evolution.

I'm the insignificant & imperfect tool
that but honestly attempts to transcribe
what the Awesome Living Force Wills.

I humbly await, O Parent of all,
Your Miracles Performed
for Your most glorious Mission
of universal salvation.

“Faith built up on pure and sincere love for the Supreme Being
is strong and immovable like a mountain,
and love founded on strong faith goes on increasing,

Both strong love and strong faith are sure and certain means
to the attainment of perfect salvation.
They are inseparable from each other.”

‘“Jakey hirday Guru partheeti, Kaal karam wasey nahin jeethi.’
Jis par Guru ki Kripa hogi, uskey nazdeek Kaal aur karam nahin avenge. Kul rachna ke sir par uska danka hoga. Koi chinta usko nahin hogi. Jo Sath Dhaar hai, wahi Mauj ki Dhaar hai. Aise premi ki kul karrawayi, kya swarthi kya parmarthi, Mauj se hothi hai. Uskey man mein koi chaha nahin rahti. Phir Kaal wa karam kisko dukh deven. Jiski karrawayi Maalik ki Mauj se hothi hai, ussey Kaal wa karam khud darte hain aur kaampte hain. Aise premijan ki pal pal chin chin mein Guru Aap Sambhal Karte Hain. Waha bhee aath pahar Guru ke rang mein ranga rahta hai aur prem mein bheega rahta hai. Jo Radhasoami Dayal ke Charnon mein aye hain, maha badabhaagi hain.”

---- Param Guru Maharaj Saheb Ji; Bachan Part II, No. 111, Page 112.
****

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:
‘“A person whose heart flows with love for the Lord,
Kaal and deeds cannot defeat such a one.’
The one who is the recipient of the Lord’s Grace finds Kaal and deeds remaining distant from him. He will have suzerainty over the entire creation. He will have no worry. The Current from Satloka is the Current representing divine Will. All the activities of such a devotee, whether it is material or spiritual, occur determined by the divine Will. He has no desire left in his mind. So, whom can Kaal or deeds cause sorrow? Indeed, Kaal and deeds are themselves scared of the devotee, all of whose matters are governed by divine Will, and remain trembling. The Guru Himself Takes care of such a devotee every moment. Even he remains absorbed in the Guru’s essence around-the-clock and remains bathed in love. Those who have taken refuge in Radhasoami Dayal’s Lotus Feet are extremely fortunate indeed.”

“Thamam Satsang aur bhajan wageirah ka matlab aur natheeja hona chahiye ki Maalik ke Charnon ka prem hirday mein bas jaave. Unke Charan ek chhin kabhi judha na hon. Isliye Maalik se yahi prarthna karni chahiye hai ki ... mujhko tho Daya Karke Apne Charnon mein Rakhiye. Charnon se kabhi judha na Keejiye.
‘Charan na bhoole dheh bhulani, waah mere pyare Radhasoami.’”

---- Param Guru Maharaj Saheb Ji; Bachan Part II, No. 91, Page 88.
****

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“The meaning and result of all Satsang, meditation, etc. should be that love for the Lord’s Lotus Feet takes firm roots in the heart. His Lotus Feet don’t ever get separate even for a moment. That is why one should pray to the Lord only that ... Mercifully Keep me in Your Lotus Feet. Don’t ever Separate me from Lotus Feet.
‘Never forgeting Lotus Feet forgeting body, glory be to my beloved Radhasoami.’”

Love is the swiftest route

Love is the sire of
a host of other virtues.

“Guru jab isko pyara hoye /
Guru ko pyara tab yeh hoye.”

That is,
“When the devotee loves the Master /

So, engender, cultivate and nourish

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.”

Causation Works in Spirituality Fantastically. {90.}

****
Radhasoami!

The law of causation works true
in spirituality nonetheless
and magnified n times over.

What do I mean by this?

Well, it’s something like
good and bad stocks
in the securities markets.

If you invest a dollar
in a lousy stock,
you will certainly lose it.

Invest a dollar in a fair stock
and you may gain a few cents.

Investing in hot stocks ought to
get you magnified returns.

You may double your investment,
or get 10 times its return,
or even 100 times,
depending on the market factors,
trends and forces.

So much for causality
and variable returns in worldly matters.

Now, spirituality represents
a different dimension altogether.
So, the laws of causation work,
but the returns are naturally magnified
quite to the power of n times over.

God is the richest Being existent
and generosity comes naturally to Him.

So, invest a dollar
of pure love in God,
and you are bound to reap
a fortune in God’s love for you.

Invest a sincere prayer in God,
and the torrents of Grace
that engulf your life
will render your destiny
transformed for the better,
immeasurably and forever.

Spirituality is a very reliable playing field,
because God is the best bet and stock possible!

You can rest assured
none of your longings and efforts
is going quite unnoticed or waste.

Trust God,
do your bit, indeed, best,
and patiently await God’s justice.

God is God.
God proves He is God.
What must, indeed, will and does ... happen!

Take Time Off for It. {52.}

Work is worship.
Work is power.

To what purpose?
To what end?

Take some time off ... to love.
Take some time off ... to care.

Break free of your self.
Transcend death while living itself.

I desire nobody and nothing else.
I seek just You and It.

Let The Guru Guide.
Let His Grace Redeem.

Loving God; Abstraction or Personal. {30.}

****
Radhasoami!

God is love personified.
The Guru is God personified.
So, the Guru is love personified.

Perfectly logical & very true!

The Sant Math represents the way
of ‘Ishk-e-haqueeki’ or ‘love for the Real’
as opposed to love for ‘Maya’
or illusory reality.

Satsangis are, therefore, expected to
perceive, value & seek beyond
the merely unreal, false, superficial,
apparent or temporary,
in their lives.

Satsangis’ love ideally ought to be
only for the Supreme Lord Radhasoami.

However, if God has Personally
Chosen to Incarnate
as the Param Guru,
then we are to believe in
a perfect unity
between God & the Guru.

Hence, love for God
will naturally manifest itself as
love for the Guru.

Likewise, God’s love for the devotee
reflects in the Guru’s love
for her or him.

The Guru functions as the vital
link for the devotees with God.

The human actually does not
even have access to God,
& can reach God
only through the Guru.

Hence, the paramount importance
of the Param Guru
in the Sant Math
or the mystical Peer-Murid tradition.

Loving one’s Guru is proving
one’s love for God,
& the Guru’s love evoked
thereby enables & causes God’s love.

Loving the abstract principle
or force of Divinity
may be more difficult for most,
though love for the Guru
comes about naturally & easily.

However, as per Guru Bachan,
loving the abstraction of God
is in no way a lesser devotion
or a less effective mode to salvation.

Indeed, for certain exceptional souls,
love for the abstract God
rather than the Personal Form
of the Living Param Guru
may in certain ways prove more desirable.

After all, an abstraction is
elusive, complex, infinite & eternal,
while the Guru appears manifest
in the mortal human frame.

So, basically, what matters is
genuine love for God
or the Param Guru
as leads to one’s salvation.

Radhasoami!

God is Infinite Love Personified. {16.}

****
Radhasoami!

The essence of God is love, just as has been affirmed ad infinitum by all the scriptures of all the world's major religions.

The sole cause for Incarnations to descend upon earth is love.

The single inspiration for Grace is love.

The root motivation for the urges to devotion, service & quest for salvation is love.

The prime impulse for harmony, peace, help, goodness, compassion, philanthropy and charity is love.

To love is to be good.

To love is to worship & serve God.

To love is to inch forward along the path to one’s redemption.

The Omnipresent Radhasoami Dayal Is always Keeping a minute record of all the karmas or deeds of every being.

HE Will finally Reward or Punish Justly.

Let us never doubt this.

Let’s keep the Faith, under all circumstances.

Let’s love & do good, to the infinite glory of Radhasoami Dayal’s Avatar Swaroop or Incarnated Form, as the Param Guru of Dayalbagh, Actively Functioning & Showering His Grace for the real spiritual welfare of all living beings & the entire creation.

Radhasoami!
