Intensely Seeking Salvation is Rare.

“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 hon ki is duniya ke ragdon jhagdon se jald chutkara ho, yani shareer choot jaave aur Maalik ke Charnon mein pahunchen.”

---- Param Guru Maharaj Saheb Ji; Bachan Part II, No. 20, Page 31.

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“One can find many Satsangis who perform Sumiran, Dhyan or Contemplation, Bhajan or Meditation, or recite Paaths or hymns from the scriptures, but such Satsangis are very few who really desire from their hearts that they be freed from the frictions and fights of this world, that is, they shed their bodies and reach the Lotus Feet of the Supreme Lord.”

Perspective on Sin & Virtue.
****

“... Magar kisi kaam ka sinful {paaproop} ya virtuous {punyaroop} hona Khuda ke sambandh mein samajhna chahiye. Jis baath se Khuda Khush ho, wah punyaroop hai aur jisse Wah Nakhush ho, paaproop hai.... Satsangiyon ko yeh privilege {visheshadhikaar} hai ki Sant Satguru se dariyafth kar sakte hain ki Kul Maalik ko kya pasand ya napasand hai. Iske muthabik karawayi karni chahiye. Sar Bachan mein Kaha hua hai:
“Guru Aagya se jo shish karayi, so karthuth bhakti phal deyi.”
Paanch baathen karne ke liye Hidayath hai:
{1} Sumiran, {2} Dhyan, {3} Bhajan, {4} Seva, {5} Satsang.
Darasal yeh paanchon baathen ek hee cheez hain....”

---- Param Guru Huzur Saheb Ji Maharaj; Bachan Bhag I, Bachan No. 147, Page 404.
****

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“... But we should construe an act as being sinful or virtuous in the context of God. If something pleases God, it is virtuous and what displeases Him, is a sin.... Satsangis have the privilege of being able to enquire from the Grand Master regarding what the Supreme Lord Likes and Dislikes. One should act by this. It says in the {holy} Sar Bachan:
“Whatever the disciple does with the Guru’s Permission, that deed gives one spiritual fruition.”
Five performances have been decreed:
{1} Sumiran, {2} Contemplation, {3} Meditation, {4} Seva, {5} Satsang.
Actually, all these five things are the same....”

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.

Transcend Space-Time-Causation Dimension. {78.}

****
Radhasoami!

There is a Guru Bachan
to the effect that
Sumiran helps one to transcend
the dimension of space-time-causation.
{Sumiran: chanting the divine Name.}

I don’t recall the exact words,
but I am yet
to comprehend it fully.

If constant Sumiran really can cause
{as it naturally must
because the Guru Bachans are true!}
one to transcend the barriers
of space, time and causation,
then one virtually ceases
to remain a human.

One becomes free from all karmas or actions,
even the ones that one commits,
since one always lives
inspired by God, dedicated to God,
and enveloped in consciousness of God.

God alone is the real,
mysterious, and absolute
dimension to existence;
so miracles need not surprise
one evolving closer to God.

True spirituality is mind-boggling;
the comfort of cozy beliefs
that one shares with others
needs to be shunned totally.

God demands and deserves transcendence.

Mysticism is only for those who can
walk the delicate internal tightrope to God!

Radhasoami!
