Death is the Final Beloved. {126.}

Death is the Final Beloved. {126.}
****

Radhasoami!

The world is too unreal and perishable.

Life is too fractured and fleeting.

The self is one’s responsibility.

God alone is real, desirable and important.

One’s soul alone matters eternally.

Meditation is the most worthwhile activity possible.

The goal is one’s final salvation ensured.

Death is merely crossing over
from life into the afterlife.

Death is the only embrace that can
lead one to divine bliss,
if one has striven rightly
for redemption during one’s lifetime.

So, let my love for my Maker
daw me inexorably towards Him.

Ah, Death, my final beloved,
I long for your kiss.

Radhasoami!

God Reciprocates Devotee’s Sincere Love.
****

“Sincere love is reciprocal.
So, if one has a heart full of love for the Supreme Being,
He is sure to be attracted towards him by Grace, Mercy and holy Light,
which will gradually illumine his inner self,
and then all menial or worldly affections and desires will gradually disappear.”

---- Param Guru Huzur Maharaj Ji; Radhasoami Math Prakash, No. 108: 13, Page 70.

Dayalbagh’s Radhasoami Religion is ‘Scientific’. {125.}

Dayalbagh’s Radhasoami Religion is ‘Scientific’. {125.}
****

Radhasoami!

There’s long been an apparent battle
between religion and science,
with the latter deriding the former
for its absurdity, irrationality, and fraud.

However, if science lies
in the scientific method
of experimentation, verification, repeatability,
then I dare say
the Radhasoami religion is absolutely scientific.

The objective seeker isn’t asked
to blindly believe in God.

You are free to try out
the prescribed meditation techniques
and convince yourself that God exists,
that Radhasoami is a name
of mystical potence,
and that the Param Guru of Dayalbagh
Is Radhasoami Dayal’s Living Incarnation.

Of course, this would entail
earnest meditation by the scientist,
but even routine scientific discoveries
are preceded by painstaking efforts.

It is a moot point
whether anyone would care to
scientifically verify the divine truths
that the Radhasoami religion propounds,
but such objective strivings remain welcome.

Radhasoami!

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.”

Desire for God and Salvation. {124.}

Desire for God and Salvation. {124.}
****

Radhasoami!

The Buddha had named desire
as the root of suffering.

Desire is, indeed, central to
all human engagements and desserts.

Nothing in life can be achieved
without a consuming desire for it.

Alsorans fare ill even in spirituality,
which mandates total commitment.

The essential perspective in the blockbuster film The Matrix
is not without its foundation in reality and logic.

This world and life are not real
they are merely a means
for the soul to awaken
and arrive unto its Maker.

The one who lives
determined and guided by
this perspective and focus
naturally grows indifferent to the
fleeting plays of illusory reality.

Hence, one ought to form
only the fewest of relationships,
involve in the world minimally,
and limit one’s external attachments.

Let the soul ever meditate
longing ardently for its Parent,
and eternal bliss in the loftiest paradise.

Desire only God and salvation
sincerely, rightly, wholeheartedly, intensely.

God inexorably draws such a one
unto Her sacred lap and bosom.

Radhasoami!

Radhasoami Dayal Orders Satsangis’ Initiation.
****

Jab thak Dhur se Hukum nahin hotha, tab thak koi jeeva Radhasoami Math mein shareek nahin hotha. Aur jo shamil ho gaya tho jaano ki us par muhar lag gayi. Uska uddhaar aber saber ka khyal chod kar zarur hoga. Aur chahe kaisa hee hai, uska bigaad nahin ho sakta.”

---- Param Guru Maharaj Saheb Ji; Bachan Part II, No. 36, Page 47.
****

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“Until there is a Decree from the Beyond, no living being can join the fold of the Radhasoami religion. And once someone has entered {the religion}, then consider the stamp to have been put on {her or} him. Such a person’s redemption will definitely take place, regardless of the thought of whether it does so early or late. And however the person may be, no harm can come to her {or him}.”
