Devote Yourself to Spirituality Intensely. {114.}
****

Radhasoami!

I have a strange view
{indeed, most of my views
seem strange to most people,
but that’s beside the point!}
that only an excess works.

Life is a crowded, chaotic flux
and if you would have a difference be,
one needs to become an extremist.

Lest my words be misconstrued,
let me clarify my meaning and context.

Merely believing in God
Doesn’t get you paradise.

Merely becoming an initiated Satsangi
doesn’t ensure your early salvation.

Just dallying with spirituality
will attain you nothing.

Only an excess really works in life.

Either you do it,
or you just don’t;
alsorans amount to nothing!

So, devote yourself to spirituality
with your whole heart, will and soul.

If this means you need renounce
sundry comforts or pleasures,
well, just choose the greater value!

If this means enduring persecution
in its variegated base forms
at the instance of people
motivated by envy and malice,
continue absolutely along your path,
trusting the mystical Law
to vindicate you finally.

So, take stock of your state,
realize that you are far
from paradise yet.

Start doing the needful now;
God’s Grace guarantees your success!

Radhasoami!

Remain, Live True to Yourself. {49.}

****
Radhasoami!

The self hides the Self,
and the Self is God.

Seek your self, beyond your ego.

Know and understand yourself.

Only then can you be,
remain and live
true to yourself.

This doesn’t necessarily
mean becoming “selfish”.

I have usually found myself to be
at odds with the milieu.

I was either a round peg
in a square hole,
or a square peg
in a round hole.

Mere friction, disharmony and strife;
never to my liking,
to no purpose whatsoever.

I remained myself.
I survived people and life.
That was victory.

The beautiful lady is resented and hated
by all the other less pretty ones,
for no fault of hers.

Despite the malice and baseness
that one encounters in life,
one must continue with one’s
goodness, faith, devotion and service.

It is pointless to yield
to those who are incorrigibly
wrong, perverse, sinful and hostile.

Be clear and remain strong.
After all, the endless Source
of all Wisdom and Strength
remains our Guide and Redeemer.

Life is quite a silly nightmare
that shall end once the surat or soul
finally reaches Radhasoami Dham.

Radhasoami!
