Sacred Bhandara: Recalling Guru Bachans. {4}

Radhasoami!

Praise Guru and Criticize Oneself.

“Ninda aur stuthi donon ke karne mein paap hotha hai, kyonki jaisa koi hai waisa bayaan nahin ho sakta hai. Isliye munasib yeh hai ki stuthi karey tho apne Satguru ki aur ninda kare tho apni.”

---- Param Purusha Puran Dhani Param Guru Huzur Soami Ji Maharaj;
The holy Sar Bachan {Nasr}, pp. 102-103.

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“Calumny and praise both involve sin, because none can depict someone just as he is. Therefore, it is befitting that if one praises, one should praise one’s Satguru and if one deprecates someone, it should be one's own self.”

Radhasoami!

A Miracle has Been Performed. {97.}

****
Radhasoami!

There were dark clouds hovering
above the serene, Sanctified Dayalbagh.

A nexus of evil forces
had recently troubled Satsangis immensely.

Now, the inevitable has occurred:
Radhasoami Dayal has very Mercifully
Performed a timely, befitting Miracle
to Protect His very Own.

It is heartening that Satsangis
proved devoted, loyal, courageous, united;
this is a great reassurance
and we must remain so.

All those Satsangis who volunteered
for defensive Seva in Kheth
merit our praise and encouragement,
and Reward from the Lord.

A battle has been won,
matters seem far rosier now,
but remember that the war
has not been won yet.

Let’s face life with strength,
deeply believing in our Faith,
committed to service of all,
and trusting Gracious Huzur absolutely.

Radhasoami!
