Longing to Sing a Song. {155.}

Radhasoami Dayal Ki Daya

Radhasoami Sahai

May Compassionate Radhasoami Shower His Grace

May Radhasoami Help

****

Radhasoami!

****

I’m longing to sing a song

to your ineffable glory

the like of which

no human may have penned before.

A song that revels in your sheer glory.

A song laced with love,

stemming from faith,

and fueled by mystical yearnings.

A melodious ode that seems like

a celebratory dance captured in words.

A hymn that traces the origin of creation,

encompasses all your existence,

and culminates with the apocalyptic dissolution.

Insights, visions and emotions within me

seek an expression in human language

that it is ill-equipped for.

So, help me, my Supreme Lord,

write the unique song

to your eternal glory

that I wish to live

in my fleeting timespan here.

Radhasoami!

Lead Me On, My Faith! {142.}

Radhasoami Dayal Ki Daya

Radhasoami Sahai

May Compassionate Radhasoami Shower His Grace

May Radhasoami Help

****

Radhasoami!

****

I know nought of God

for all my years and decades

of earnest, solitary striving.

All I possess of God

is but my sincere faith.

So, lead me on,

my genuine quest,

my deep longing,

my intense yearning,

to my Supreme Parent Radhasoami Dayal!

This is the best and most

that any devotee remains capable of.

Radhasoami!

“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 rahte hon ki is duniya ke ragdon jhagdon se jald chutkara ho, yaani shareer choot jaave aur Maalik ke Charnon mein pahunche. Is kism ki sachhi khwahish hona badi baath hai. Kisi waqt dukh aan kar pada, us waqt maut maang lena aur baath hai. Magar duniyawi sukhon ke hothe hue bhee jab sansaar se vairagya aur Maalik ke Charnon mein anurag dil mein bana rahe, tab samajhna chahiye ki prem jaaga.... Is kism ke sachhe bhakton ko Maalik Aap se Aap Kheenchta hai.”

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

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“There may be found many Satsangis who perform Sumiran, Dhyan and Bhajan, and recite Paath from the scriptures. But there are extremely few who honestly and wholeheartedly desire that they be freed from the troubles and squabbles of this world, i.e. they quit the mortal body and attain the Supreme Godhead’s Lotus Feet. An intense yearning of this nature is a great thing. It is a different matter if one asks for death while under duress from some particular grief. True love may be regarded to have been engendered if one develops indifference to the world and longing for one’s Supreme Parent even in the midst of worldly joys.”

Radhasoami!

Patience is Supposed to Pay. {67.}

****
Radhasoami!

Patience is said to pay.

Patience has been emphasized
in several of our
Guru Bachans and Paaths
{Master’s Words and hymns}.

It is true that
one must be patient,
in matters of spiritual progress,
and regularly continue to persevere.

The impatient commit mistakes,
and become further unfit for Grace.
So, impatience does cost one,
in true religiosity.

I am a very patient soul,
having years and decades
of solitary perseverance
testifying to it.

However, I have now
begun to quite wonder
about lots of things.

There must be light
at the tunnel’s end.
Or, is it endless;
a night without end?

I am increasingly getting to share
Param Sant Kabir Sahib Ji’s longing:

“Abhu miliho tho tabahu miliho
Nahin tho Jampur baasa.”

That is,
If one gets the Lord
in this lifetime,
can one hope for Him
in the hereafter,
otherwise one remains damned.

The proof of the pudding
finally lies in the eating.

I cannot keep going indefinitely on
solely on my faith and yearning.

Flow, Grace, as drops of elixir
to bathe my soul in love,
and reward its patience with consummation!

If patience is to pay,
is payback time yet remote?

Radhasoami!
