Upon Jewellery Worn by Satsangis.
****

Auraton ke zewar ke baare mein Farmaya ki zewar kam az aur zaruriyath asahad {bahut zyada zarurath} ke mutabik hona chahiye thaki uske khoye jaane se ranj wa fikr ka mauka kam az kam raha jaave aur uske muthallik moha aur lobha ka ang bhee kat jaave.”

---- Param Guru Huzur Saheb Ji Maharaj; Bachan, Bhag I, No. 15, Page 313.

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“Regarding the jewellery worn by women, Observed that the jewellery should be the minimal possible and only the least that might be required so that one remains free from the anxiety and sorrow of its loss, and one also hinders the development of attachment or greed towards it.”

Superhumans: Children Nourished by Satsang.
****

“... if Satsangis and Satsangins hand over their children to Satsang right from the very beginning ... such children will naturally have love only for Satsang ... they will have a feeling in their hearts that they should serve Satsang.... If even one person ... invents such useful thing or provides such convenience as is beneficial to Satsang or to mankind and improves the financial condition of Satsang, then undoubtedly people will say that the race of Supermen has made a beginning in Satsang....”

Guru’s Eternal Hotline to God.

Sant Satguru ka tan aur man antharyami nahin hain. Wah surat jo is tan mein baithi hai, albatha sarvsamarth aur antharyami hai. Hirday ke ghaat par Wah jab oopar ke ghaat se gyan ki dhara utharthe hain, tho Unko Hirday ke ghaat par bhee antharyamiyata ho jathi hai, lekin is ghaat par usi kadar dhaar Utharte Hain, jis kadar zarurath ho. Unka Hidray Saaf wa Nirmal hai. Wahan koi naksh nahin hai. Jaisa Huqum oopar se aya, Kaha Diya ya Kar Diya. Sant Satguru ke Hirday ke ghaat pa Nij Dhar Satsang ke waqt aur gujishta {pichle} Santon ke Bhandaron ke waqt aur deegar khaas khaas waqton par athi hai.... Unke Hirday ghaat par telephone us ghaat se laga hua hai ki jahan antharyamita aur samarthta maujood hain. Jab Chaha telephone se kaam le liya.”

---- Param Guru Huzur Saheb Ji Maharaj; Bachan, Bhag I, No. 12, Page 216.

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“The body and mind of the Sant Satguru are not omniscient. The Surat or Soul that resides within the body is, however, omnipotent and omniscient. Whenever He Causes the Current of Knowledge to descend from the higher realm to the plane of His Heart, then He Acquires Omniscience even on that plane, but He Does this only to the extent that it might be required. His Heart is pure and tender. There is no impurity therein. As the Fiat comes from above, So He Says or Does. At the plane of the Sant Satguru’s Heart, the Divine Current manifests itself only during Satsang and upon the Bhandaras of the former Gurus and on other rare special occasions.... His Heart is linked by telephone with that realm where omniscience and omnipotence prevail. Whenever Desired, He Employs the telephone fruitfully.”

All Hearts Throb for Dayalbagh. {113.}

****
Radhasoami!

As the exclusive repository
of the most glorious Nij Dhar,
the awesome Divine Current
from the loftiest paradise, Radhasoami Dham,
there is infinite responsibility upon Dayalbagh:
that of the establishment
of the Radhasoami religion
in the whole world,
and eventually universal salvation.

It’s not going to be easy,
it might seem difficult beyond words,
but divine Will triumphs over all.

Regardless of whatever happens,
let Satsangis nourish their deep faith
in the prophetic Words
of our August Founder
and our Revered Leaders.

The sun shall begin to glow
the rosier, more beneficial, truly redemptive
as the Radhasoami religion of Dayalbagh
emanates and transmits its healing rays
to every corner of this world.

Let’s await the mysterious plays
of divine Will with eagerness,
wanting the welfare of all
and trusting Gracious Huzur absolutely.

Radhasoami!

Silence on Way to Satsang.
****

“A very important matter has to be put before you and it is that you come to Satsang daily and on the way and also on reaching here till the Satsang begins you continuously remain talking amongst yourselves. You may yourself say what benefit can be derived from Satsang in such a state of affairs. You should not, while coming to Satsang, talk amongst yourselves on the way, or at least after entering the Satsang compound you should remain quiet. The pucca roads around the Satsang platform are all included in the compound and within the environment everyone should try to remain silent. By doing so, you can do Sumiran at least during the time you remain quiet and can bring with you proper atmosphere which will help you in deriving benefit from Satsang. You import here in doing so a sense of reverence and spirituality and will take with you the best results of that atmosphere, ...”

The Death that All Dread. {112.}

****
Radhasoami!

Param Sant Kabir Sahib Ji
has penned umpteen memorable lines,
including the following:
Ja marne se jag darey / Mere man anand
Kab mariho kab paiyo / Puran parmanand
.”

That is,
“The death that all fear / I long for
Oh, when would I die and attain / Complete bliss.”

Caught up as we are
in the whirl of life,
it might be worthwhile to
pause and wonder about what
lies on the other side,
how one might cross over,
and achieve one’s true salvation.

Death is not to be feared;
it is the gateway to redemption.

Life is not the ultimate reality;
it’s a kaleidoscope offering a chance
for deserving souls to ensure salvation.

Let’s all value and live rightly,
focused on the paradise beyond life!

Radhasoami!
