Radhasoami Sahai

May Compassionate Radhasoami Shower His Grace

Radhasoami!

****

Oh, help me, my Supreme Parent

arrive unto You at the earliest!

There are now stirrings within me

evoking words from a mystical well

too deep for me to fathom.

I feel I am steadily evolving

beyond disease, health, my very body,

into another aura sired by my resonating prayers

that can instantly heal or wreak

all that it pleases.

There is an intuitiveness  

manifesting through my mind

that knows every truth there is

the unalloyed truth

the whole truth

shorn of distortion or verbiage.

Every mystery now stands resolved

and every question implicitly answered.

I have met and mated with the truth

and she is God.

I am amazingly moving

beyond sleep and wakefulness

into a continuing trance

that permeates my living.

I am inexorably transcending

beyond life and death

into a loftier realm

where the twilight glows  

and the words infinity and eternity

have been fully realized.

I mock sorrow and joy alike

serene in a bliss that heralds

nascent paradise to me.

Like all life so far

this, too, shall soon pass

and the path ahead lit

by God’s growing potent Grace.

Radhasoami!

My Loneliness Blossoms into Togetherness. {144.}

Radhasoami!

I Am Also Verily Human. {136.}

Radhasoami!
****


I am as human as any other.


Forgive me, Lord,
but I do also often
question various premises
of the world’s major religions,
including our own Radhasoami religion of Dayalbagh.


Yet I know this faith
lives in my very blood and bones.


Of course, that cannot serve
as clinching evidence
of its fundamental tenets.


It’s too long and arduous
an uphill climb, my Lord,
so Help me
for I at times
weary in my faith.


But I sense Your Love and Grace tugging me,
and I persevere in my honest quest,
despite such occasional fleeting ‘moments’.


May the Supreme Parent Radhasoami Dayal
Mercifully Guide me and all living beings
unto His eternal blissful paradise!

Radhasoami!

Stop … Pause Awhile … Wonder … Think! {132.}

Radhasoami!
****


Halt!
Pause awhile.


Stop living your usual life.
Take a break from routine.


You’ve been doing it for too long enough.
Have you got what you desired or expected?
Are you headed in the right direction?
Will this lead you to your destination?


The unreflected life is measly existence
or a brutish engagement
in the senseless ratrace
that characterizes most life.


Get out of the rut.
Accept that you are yet alien to God,
remote from the possibility
of your salvation,
and guarantee of attaining paradise.


This world is a temporary station,
decreed by the gods for destruction.


Life is but an illusory reality.


Tap into your innermost being,
you shall access the divine spark ,
which is your priceless soul.


This world is mere quicksand
and life a fleeting chance
for you to realize God.


Prove that you are a being
made in the likeness of God --
aware, enlightened, responsible, moral --
by valuing and persevering for your redemption
seriously, rightly, earnestly, determinedly, intensely, ….


Take a break
from your way of living,
and invent another
more adequate for your salvation.

Radhasoami!

None of This is It. {127.}

None of This is It. {127.}
****

Radhasoami!

There’s something fractured and dissatisfactory
about life that is frustrating.

The best of experiences still lack
that certain something real, desired, meaningful.

Human language proves utterly inadequate
if one aspires to describe
the most sublime of experiences;
expression remains denied to me.

I cannot help constantly feeling
it’s on the other side;
call it God, reality, truth,
bliss, completeness, eternity, salvation, paradise.

Beyond the threshold of life,
across the embrace of death,
perhaps awaits my Supreme Parent,
I strive with that trust,
longing to transcendentally leap across.

Radhasoami!

Desire for God and Salvation. {124.}

Desire for God and Salvation. {124.}
****

Radhasoami!

The Buddha had named desire
as the root of suffering.

Desire is, indeed, central to
all human engagements and desserts.

Nothing in life can be achieved
without a consuming desire for it.

Alsorans fare ill even in spirituality,
which mandates total commitment.

The essential perspective in the blockbuster film The Matrix
is not without its foundation in reality and logic.

This world and life are not real
they are merely a means
for the soul to awaken
and arrive unto its Maker.

The one who lives
determined and guided by
this perspective and focus
naturally grows indifferent to the
fleeting plays of illusory reality.

Hence, one ought to form
only the fewest of relationships,
involve in the world minimally,
and limit one’s external attachments.

Let the soul ever meditate
longing ardently for its Parent,
and eternal bliss in the loftiest paradise.

Desire only God and salvation
sincerely, rightly, wholeheartedly, intensely.

God inexorably draws such a one
unto Her sacred lap and bosom.

Master Escorts Soul to Paradise. {118.}

Master Escorts Soul to Paradise. {118.}

****
Radhasoami!

Meditate: when there is external silence {or having grown indifferent to it}, and internal silence bred of a cessation of your thoughts.

As the self comes to roost within itself, focus on the seat of the refulgent soul within your being.

Pray for the Grand Master or Param Guru to Dawn within and Grant you His Darshan {the fortune of beholding His Countenance}.

Let the Shabda Roop {Sound Form} of the Guru escort your surat or soul internally to the lofty divine realms.

Attain unto the loftiest paradise of Radhasoami Dham thus, with earnest perseverance, and the Guru’s Grace.

Radhasoami!

Radhasoami Religion is about Death. {106.}

****
Radhasoami!

This world is not real.

Life is brief, and merely
an opportunity to attain salvation.

The meaning and purpose of life
stem from but its eventual cessation.

This may sound strange,
but is nevertheless true.

It is the deserving soul
that early, clearly and seriously
dedicates itself to achieving redemption.

Meditation in the prescribed manner,
helped by the Guru’s Grace,
can enable any sincere devotee
to experience death during meditation,
to transcend and master death.

Death naturally loses its sting
for such a blessed devotee.

One realizes what reality is,
and knows that one has
attained a paradise that’s
glorious, blissful and eternal.

Radhasoami!
****

Let Love for Lord Blossom. {104.}

****
Radhasoami!

Let love for the Lord
blossom deep in your heart.

Let love for the Lord
keep growing in your heart.

Love is verily God’s essence.

Love is the swiftest route
to God, redemption & paradise.

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 /
the Master too Loves the devotee.”

So, engender, cultivate and nourish
deep love for Gracious Huzur;
all else will then occur
naturally, incidentally, magically & fatedly.

Radhasoami!

Skirting on the Surface Perenially. {94.}

****
Radhasoami!

How long can this continue?
It is now getting unendurable.

This is just not it.

Mere skirting on the surface,
while the essence remains inaccessible.

Life has its own sundry
entanglements, limitations, compulsions and needs.

It merely perpetuates one’s bondage
to this world and life.

I long for the freedom
and transcendence that my soul
knows are its natural birthrights.

To slumber in life and
awaken blissfully to God within,
does not come quite easily.

I have been at it,
so may God help me;
I must gradually be nearing
the inner fusion I desire.

Let the soul awaken fast,
let God sanctify my soul.

God is to be realized,
I’ve had enough of this,
something must give way shortly,
I’ll access paradise very soon.

Radhasoami!

Intensely Seeking Salvation, Master-God. {53.}

****
Radhasoami!

The Guru and God are one.

Indeed, the Guru is greater than God,
because He enlightens the jeevas {living beings} about God,
and can help them attain paradise.

As Param Sant Kabir Says:
“Guru Govind dou khade Kapei laagun Paav
Balihari Guru Aapne jin Govind Diyo Milay.”

That is, if the Guru and God were both Present,
Whose Lotus Feet should Kabir touch?
It is the Guru’s,
since He unites one with God.

People are content with
merely being God-fearing
to the extent that they live
on the right side of God.
All very good and fine.

My interest, desire, commitment, passion
in spirituality and for God
are far too deep, lofty
to bear of God’s denial.

I really want nothing else except God …
& I really want God!

As our Guru Bachan recommends,
“... jeethe jee” udhhar ko paana
{attaining redemption in life itself}.

To recall Param Sant Kabir again,
“Abhu miliho tho tabahu miliho /
Nahin tho Jampur baasa.”

That is, if you meet God
in your very lifetime,
can you aspire to
unite with Him in the hereafter,
otherwise it’s virtual damnation.

So, I cannot be satisfied even with
the Guru-Khuda’s sacred Promise
of salvation in four lifetimes.

F o u r l o n g lifetimes ...
perhaps separated by eons of years ...
not for me.

I want my salvation,
certainly in this janam or life.
I want it very soon; now.
I am resolved to have it.

As I had said
during a fortunate Arz or supplication
to Gracious Huzur “Prem” Saran Satsangi Saheb Ji,
“Mera agla janam kya hoga?
Yahan tho ek ek saal
bhaari pad raha hai.”

That is,
“How can I have a next birth?
I already find every single year
growing more onerous indeed.”

To which He had Mercifully Replied
“Tadap bahut achhi cheez hothi hai.”

That is,
“Intense yearning is a very good sentiment.”

The soul that renounces everything
and intensely perseveres for God ...
what in existence can possibly
thwart such a final longing,
especially when it is
fully supported by God?

To recall our Paath or hymn lines,
“Ab tho man kar chuka pukaar /
Radhasoami Karo uddhaar.”

That is,
“Now the soul has cried out,
Radhasoami, Redeem me.”

Radhasoami!

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!
