Sacred Bhandara: Recalling Guru Bachans. {74.}


Radhasoami!

Love Grants Virtues and Wisdom. 
****


“All good qualities and goodness itself will gradually find their home in the heart in which love dwells, and all bad qualities will be rooted out by and by.


Whatever a man full of pure love thinks or does is all wisdom, while the thoughts and works of worldly-wise men are full of selfishness and folly.”


---- Param Guru Huzur Maharaj Ji; Radhasoami Math Prakash, Nos 3 and 4, Page 67.

Mysticism-Science: Meeting & Mating. {131.}

Radhasoami!
****

God, religion, spirituality, mysticism, magic, fiction,
science, technology, quantum physics, fuzzy logic,
are not inflexible categories
nor always totally in conflict
with one another;
their goals overlap
but methods vary.

As the years & decades roll by,
I predict a series of
unlikely trysts & weird flirtations,
until a formal engagement
makes them virtual bedfellows.

I wonder if any reader unravels
the perspective that I don’t seem
to care to fully elaborate yet;
but suffice it to say
an intellectual revolution lies ahead
that shall mellow the rigid distinctions
between science and religion
and result in a holistic weltanschauung.

Love: Be-all, End-all of Existence.
****

“A heart devoid of love and affection is as hard as stone, and does not form a suitable receptacle for the light of heavenly Grace and Mercy....
Love or the power of attraction is the basis of the whole creation and the cause of its sustenance and preservation....
Love has no bounds, knows no restrictions, and is not limited by conditions, and like its source, is extensive and far-reaching in its beneficial results.”

---- Param Guru Huzur Maharaj Ji; Radhasoami Math Prakash, Nos 12, 14 and 17, Pages 70-71.

Beware: This Blog is Magical! {130.}

Radhasoami!
****

This humble blog is overpoweringly magical.
This need not quite astonish anyone,

since miracles come naturally to God.

The Name Radhasoami is divine.
God’s Awareness & Grace Sanctify
the words this blog contains.

A home is but a house
until love renders it a home.
A temple is a mere building
unless God’s Awareness & Grace descend.

This blog is a blessed blog.

Any visitor to this blog
shall leave it subtly transformed.
She or he may not
realize, believe, or accept it;
but her or his destiny

shall stand altered --
fundamentally & irrevocably.

Beyond the human ego,
at the plane of the soul,
Grace shall work through this blog
to tug the readers’ souls Godward.
As water naturally flows down,
the soul aspires to fly towards God.
This blog shall serve as the impetus
that hastens your spiritual evolution.

I'm the insignificant & imperfect tool
that but honestly attempts to transcribe
what the Awesome Living Force Wills.

I humbly await, O Parent of all,
Your Miracles Performed
for Your most glorious Mission
of universal salvation.

Trust the Caring Supreme Father.
****

“The Supreme Father is always looking with solicitous care on all His children and grants from time to time divine beatitude and internal happiness to the extent which He thinks conducive to their advantage. You should always be looking forward for it and pray for its inward realization, but do not slacken your efforts when you do not experience it, as He alone knows when it should be granted and when not.

Sadness is also one of the instruments of progress and almost all whose spiritual advancement has begun have to experience an alternation of such condition. The Supreme Father is conscious of your resolve to resign yourself entirely to His will and will gradually grant you power to suffer your existence to be mended in accordance with it.

He has also Been Pleased to Accept your offer of youself and your belongings and He now Gives them back to you as His Prashadi {or Sanctified things}. You should now make a judicious use of them, and with the consciousness that they are the gifts of Your heavenly Father.”

---- Param Guru Huzur Maharaj Ji; Pilgrim's Path, Letter No. 13, Page 31.

Consciously Choose Your Religion Carefully. {129.}

Radhasoami!
****


People normally spend such time and efforts
on choosing the ‘right’ things for themselves.

Be it buying a new dress
or selecting a spouse;
everyone regards it as highly important.

If your father gave you
his suit to wear,
most would reject it,
saying it doesn’t fit or isn’t trendy.

Likewise, your mother may have found
a staid necklace suitable
but you may prefer something jazzier.

You would stoutly resist anyone
who presumed to decide on your behalf
the dress that you ought to wear
or the type of person to marry.

Now, enter religion.

Despite our most passionate
beliefs & assertions
to the contrary,
we don’t really care a rap
which religion we follow.

It’s the only thing most people
unhesitatingly accept as a
legacy from their parents,
not because parents know the best,
but simply because they don’t really
believe in the afterlife,
or accept that they have souls,
and are just not bothered
about where they might be headed
beyond the grave.

Sure, your wifey or hubby dear
naturally matters no end,
your pretty dresses or fancy cars
obviously determine your happiness.

Ah, religion?
Who cares!

The one that your parents
were born into
is fine enough for most.

Religion is the only
one-size-fits-all stuff
that’s going around.

Wake up, folks, slumbering angels!

Your eternal soul
& guarantee of redemption
merit at least
as much consideration as the choice
of your skirt or shirt does.

You need not passively follow
your parents’ religion.

There’s a new one out there
waiting for you to discover it,
embrace and follow it,
to secure your salvation.

If you’re reading this right now,
there’s hope for you.

Pray to God to draw you
rightly unto His eternal, blissful realm;

you do not know,
but He loves you
& He wants it
more than even you!

Radhasoami!

You May Revisit Blog Regularly. {128.}

Radhasoami!
****

I had begun this blog by initially updating it on a daily basis. After a while, I decided to give it a break. There has, therefore, been a six-month long hiatus in my blog postings.

However, the constant spate of visitors to this humble blog has been growing unabated. Besides, I see that over half of the visitors to it are from various countries around the world, especially the US, the UK, Australia, and a wide spectrum of such other nations as Iraq and even neighboring Pakistan.

I hope all visitors leave my blog subtly better persons and devotees of God, and lead to a slightly better world for all God’s creatures to live in.

My entire living and all my deeds are essentially inspired by the Supreme Godhead and are in some way or the other dedicated to His lofty service, and my blog postings are naturally determined by Grace.

I shall henceforth -- God willing -- be regularly updating this blog, at least twice every week, most probably on every Monday and Thursday.

I thank all visitors who care to read my writings for their time, and most importantly, for that spiritual urge within them that draws them here.

I earnestly pray that the Supreme Lord guide all rightly to Himself.

Faith and Love Enable God.
****

“Faith built up on pure and sincere love for the Supreme Being
is strong and immovable like a mountain,
and love founded on strong faith goes on increasing,
till it carries the lover to its fountainhead, the beloved Supreme Being.
Both strong love and strong faith are sure and certain means
to the attainment of perfect salvation.
They are inseparable from each other.”
