Sacred Bhandara: Recalling Guru Bachans {82.}


Radhasoami!
****

Entrust the Guru with Responsibility.
****

“Satguru ki Mauj par jo kaam chode jathe hain, un sab mein Waha Satsangi ki sambhal Karte Hain aur jo kaam Mauj par nahin chode jathe, unmein unki sambhal nahin hothi.”

---- Param Guru Huzur Saheb Ji Maharaj; Bachan Bhag II, No. 74, Page 261.
****

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“In matters that are left to the Master’s Discretion, He Takes Care of Satsangis’ concerns, and in matters that are not left to the Guru’s Will, Grace does not get directly involved in them.”

Radhasoami!

Sacred Bhandara: Recalling Guru Bachans {81.}


Radhasoami!
****

Extensive Progress of Satsang Prophesied.
****

Farmaya ki jis tarah se Dayalbagh mein karkhana wa school zaari kiye gaye hain, isi tarah par pehle har ek soobe mein, phir har ek Commisionery mein, phir har ek zille mein, hathaki {yahan thak ki} har ek gaanv mein Satsangiyon ki alhada alhada basthi gaanv ke bahar isi namoone par hogi.”

---- Param Guru Huzur Saheb Ji Maharaj; Bachan Bhag I, No. 168, Page 433.
****

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“Pronounced that just as the factory and school have been opened in Dayalbagh, in the same manner, firstly in every region, then in every state, and later in every district, until finally {to the extent that} in every village, there will come to be established colonies of Satsangis beyond the village {of Dayalbagh} on its pattern.”

I Just Want Out Fast. {138.}

Radhasoami!
****


This life seems got not of my asking
I withdraw from it into my own being.


I seek to be neither beggar nor king
Evolved beyond need of thought, emotion, talking, doing.


My best hours are spent but in meditating
Deaf to the world, hearing celestial bells ringing.


Nothing worthwhile has ever come free or easy
Redemption needs deep faith, perseverance bred of sincerity.


Life is a nightmare that cannot long last
Help me Lord, I just want out fast!
****


Radhasoami!
