Perform Worldly Activities without Attachment.

“Sawaal: Kya duniyavi karrawayi jis kadar zyaada ki javegi, bandha zyaada hoga?

Jawaab: Bandhan us kaam mein hotha hai, jismein jeeva ko kisi kism ka rasa aatha hai. Lekin jo kaam ki farz samajh kar kiya jaave, aur jisse alhada hone ko jhat pat dil chahta hai, ki kisi tarah par khatam ho jaave, usmein bandhan na hoga. Isliye parmarthi ka farz hai ki duniya ka kaam farz samajh kar mehnath se karta rahe. Ismein koi harz nahin hai, balki thoda bahut haath panv ka kaam sabko karna chahiye. Albatha jo abhyaas mein zyaada mehnath kar sakte hain, unki safayi abhyaas ke zariye hona mumkin hai. Magar aisa abhyaas bahut mushkil hai.”

---- Param Guru Maharaj Saheb Ji; Bachan Part II, Pages 83-84, Bachan No. 76.

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“Question: Would greater involvement in worldly activities lead to greater attachment to them?

Answer: Attachment to an activity arises when the living being derives some sort of pleasure from it. But when some work is performed as a duty, and which the heart wants to quit at the earliest, wishing it somehow got over soon, then no attachment will result therefrom. Therefore, it is the duty of the spiritually inclined to continue engaging in worldly activities, regarding them as one’s duties. There is no harm in this; indeed, everyone should do some physical work of the hands and feet. However, those who can persevere more in meditation, can possibly expect purification to occur through it. But such meditation is extremely difficult.”

Satsang: Ultimate Purifier and Rejuvenator.
****

“Is jeeva ke mail dhoor karne ke liye siwaay Satsang ke aur koi upaay nahin hai. Jaise saabun mein yeh taakath rakhi hai ki kaisa hee maila kapda hove aur jab saabun lagakar dhoya, turanth saaf ho gaya, ya ki ghaas ka dher jama hai aur jab usmein ek chingari daal dhi, ek chin mein bhasm ho jatha hai. Isi tarah Satsang hai ki ismein janm janm ke karma kat jathe hain aur sanskar din ba din badalta jatha hai.”


---- Param Purusha Puran Dhani Param Guru Huzur Soami Ji Maharaj;
The holy Sar Bachan {Nasr}, Page 123: No. 147.
****

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“To rid the living being of her or his impurities, there is no other method except Satsang. As the soap has the power to instantly clean a piece of cloth, regardless of however dirty it was, or like a mound of grass gathered which, if ignited with a spark, instantly gets destroyed. In just the same manner, it is Satsang that instantly wipes out one’s karmas {or deeds} of several lifetimes, and one’s sanskaras {or tendencies} begin to change day by day.”

Radhasoami!

Sumiran is the Easiest Devotion. {98.}

****
Radhasoami!

The easiest mode of devotion
is Sumiran of Radhasoami Name,
chanting of the Divine Name.

It can be done
anytime, anywhere,
internally, softly, or aloud.

You can perform Sumiran while
attending to your routine chores,
hum it while walking around.

Sumiran serves to keep you
focused on the Supreme Godhead,
which invites Grace upon you.

Besides, the Name has potence
and don’t be surprised if
you find apparent miracles occurring.

Sumiran causes subtle inner purification,
transformation and evolution, rendering the
subsequent Dhyan and Abhyas easier.

You ought to make progress
towards your goal of salvation
in a ceaseless, evolving manner.

The best method is Sumiran;
do it earnestly, constantly, habitually,
and watch Grace’s further boons.

Radhasoami!

Note: Sumiran: Chanting; Dhyan: Contemplation; and Abhyas: Meditation.
