Below Are NOTES About Today's PODCAST (5-24-19):

Maharshi Mehi — The Bridge Between Hindu Scriptures and Sant Mat

“Sant Tulsi Sahab of Hathras, Uttar Pradesh, India undoubtedly occupies the most pre-eminent position in the lineage of Sant mat and can be said to be the First Saint in the glorious tradition of Modern Age Sant mat. Mr. James Bean, who has made an intensive study of Sant Mat and runs several groups on Santmat very rightly depicts Sant Tulsi Sahab as the “Adi Guru of many if not most all contemporary Santmat guru-lineages, the grandfather or founding-father of modern-day Santmat” and as a “connecting link between the classic Sants of India including earlier Masters in the Kabir lineage, and contemporary Santmat”, and advocates that “any serious study of Santmat teachings must include the hymns and spiritual discourses of Sant Tulsi Sahib”.

“While Sant Tulsi Sahab laid the foundation of the Santmat tradition of modern times, it was exquisitely served and enriched in a unique way by Maharsi Mehi Paramhans ji Maharaj. Maharshi Mehi was a direct disciple of Baba Devi Sahab of Muradabad, Uttar Pradesh, India who had special blessings of Sant Tulsi Sahab...

“…The greatest and most unique contribution of Maharshi Mehi was that he brought together, bridged the gulf that had come to separate not only the Holy Scriptures [of Hinduism] and the Santmat but also the different traditions or sects of Sants from each other.”

— Pravesh K. Singh, Article: Maharshi Mehi — The Bridge Between Hindu Scriptures

'Maharshi Mehi Paramhans and other Sants of India have been in the cultural context of Hinduism what Sufis, Gnostics, and Christian Mystics have often done in relation to their respective traditions: focusing on the esoteric passages contained in their scriptures. They find mystic jewels or gold embedded in the “mud” of tradition, including references to the all-loving God beyond space, form and ritual. While not paying much homage to institutions or outer temples made of wood and stone, they make the heart of their message a contemplative meditation practice that promotes the exploration of inner space in the “temple” of the human body"'...

Die To Live: Meditation -- Living a Spiritual Life -- This Time Through



Die To Live: Meditation -- Living a Spiritual Life -- This Time Through




Die To Live: Meditation

"The Sant Sat Guru, out of His grace, impresses upon all to engender love in the Feet of the Lord, who is all the time present within everyone. He enjoins upon them to proceed inwards by the practices of Surat Shabd Yoga [Inner Light and Sound Meditation], which they should perform, as far as they can, with all sincerity and love in this very life, and thus make it easy to some extent to traverse the path which they will have to tread at the time of death, and thus see things with their own eyes." 

-- Huzur Maharaj Rai Saligram, Prem Patra Radhasoami, Volume One:

Living a Spiritual Life

"No mission is of greater importance to a person than the awareness of his own consciousness, the profound significance and purpose of his existence on earth and to find out the path for ultimate bliss, eternal happiness and cheerfulness i.e. the quest for truth." -- Quote from the Shabd Pratap Ashram website associated with the mission of the younger brother of Soamiji Maharaj: Pratap Singh Ji Seth (Chachaji Maharaj)

This Time Through

Mystic poem by a 16th century Master of the inner Light and Sound by the name of Sant Dadu Dayal of Rajasthan, who outlined the Sant Mat vision of a spiritual life to be pursued during our time here on planet Earth: 

“Recognize the Path to your Beloved, O travelers
and take the route of the anguished lover in separation.
Keep the Master’s grace in your thoughts,
and reflect on his pure teachings.
Develop love and devotion with endearment,
and keep the thought of the Creator always before you.
Try to merge yourself into God like water in water.
Fix your mind within by following the Path of the Sound Current.
A yearning will arise; make then an intense and anguished call.
Repeat the Name of your Beloved,
day and night,
again and again.
With care in thought, word and deed,
you will cross to the other shore.”

"Many Gurus are concerned with accumulating wealth and fame and their disciples are equally motivated by worldly desires. So instead of being enlightened and liberated, seekers are more and more involved in material things and thus subjected to the cycle of birth and death. When a Guru who is the true practitioner of the Yoga of Light and Sound is found by a disciple who is truly desirous of being freed from the spatio-temporal world, then and only then the relationship of the disciple and the master has some significance." (Baba Faqir Chand)

"I am a bubble of Super-most consciousness. That is what my realization is. This is what I have gained. Now what I feel is that there is One, Infinite, Super-most Element. From IT, when it moves, Sound and Light come out and from that Light and Sound this creation takes place. Cosmic rays and many other types of rays come out of this Light and Sound and all this gross matter is made. So it is the Will of that Supreme Power. Everything is oozing out of IT and is merging back in IT." 
— Baba Faqir Chand

Nothing Without Love




Nothing Without Love






"All Sants, and Radhasoami Dayal in particular, have, in their bani [hymns, mystic poetry], laid great emphasis upon in gendering love. The idea is that the task can be accomplished quickly and easily with the help of love. Mere renunciation cannot afford so much advantage, nor can mere comprehension of the Faith confer such a benefit. All activities in the world are going on because of love and desire. If one does not have any feeling of love or he has no interest in the matter, he can do nothing. For the real spiritual benefit of their Jiva [soul], it, therefore, behoves all Jivas [souls] to develop true love for the true Supreme Being." 

-- Huzur Maharaj Rai Saligram, Light on the Methods of Spiritual Practice (Jugat Prakash)

We Have Forgotten About Our Original Abode, by Baba Faqir Chand



We Have Forgotten About Our Original Abode






"'The Source of all, now, I say O Swami, 
is Unutterable, Infinite, Unfathomable,
Unnamed [Nameless, Anami].'
(Soamiji Maharaj, Sar Bachan)

"You, me and all have come from There. But, after coming into this world, we have forgotten about our Original Abode and we are completely engrossed in this world. Even though we face all sorts of difficulties, miseries and tortures, this world appears to be very attractive to us. Our desires for wealth, honour, fame and prosperity amidst all sorts of griefs and miseries continue to increase without any end. The Saints come in this world only for those who have no  attachment with this world and with the creations of their own mind. The teachings of the Saints are only for those who understand that they are here for a specific period and not forever. Guru Nanak Sahib has named the Supreme Centre of Energy or the Lord of this world as 'AKAL PURUSH' [Timeless Supreme Being]."

-- Baba Faqir Chand, Know Thyself To Know God:
Published by the Faqir Library Charitable Trust, Sutehri Road, Hoshiarpur (Pb.)

"Cosmic Flight Through the Sound Current"
by Sant Tulsi Sahib

Whose soul is attached to the Word, revels
ever in cosmic flight;

Revels ever in cosmic flight, and realizing the
Lord, plays with Him.

The mystery of the inaccessible and the secret
of the scriptures he unravels.

He reaches his Home within and its essence
he comes to know;

In the lotus feet of the Beloved he sees
his true destination.

The happily married woman rejoices with her
Spouse every moment, O Tulsi,

For her soul is attached to the Word, and
revels ever in cosmic flight.

(Book of Shabdavali [Hymns])

Mystic Poetry of Sant Tulsi Sahib of Hathras



Mystic Poetry of Sant Tulsi Sahib of Hathras






Behold Your Beloved Within 

This is one of the few ghazals^ written by Sant Tulsi Sahib. This ghazal was written to explain the esoteric secrets of the spiritual path to a Muslim divine, Sheikh Taqi, who happened to pitch his tent in the neighborhood of Tulsi Sahib’s residence. The Saint impresses upon Taqi to seek God within his own self and not in the world outside. Much of the mystery of the inner realms becomes resolved at the eye center, from where the aspirant commences his spiritual journey.

Listen, O Taqi, seek not thy Beloved in the
world outside;

Within thine own self, behold the splendor
of thy Beloved

In the pupil of thine eye is a mole, wherein
is hidden the entire mystery;

Peep within and behold thou what lieth
beyond this dark curtain.

The secret of the fourteen realms will, for
certain, be disclosed to thee;

Let thy attention not slip, see that thou art
ever vigilant.

Listen! Thou art constantly being called
from the Most High.

There ever beckons thee the voice of thy
Beloved.

It is not meeting with the Beloved that is
arduous;

What is difficult, O Taqi, is that it is hard
to behold Him.

Without the grace of some realized Guide,
says Tulsi,

The path of salvation is distant, beyond thy
reach.

_____

^ A ghazal is a form of lyrical poetry, originating from the Persian literary tradition,  which generally deals with the subject of love. Every two lines of a ghazal are usually complete in themselves.
_____


Cosmic Flight Through the Sound Current

Whose soul is attached to the Word, revels
ever in cosmic flight;

Revels ever in cosmic flight, and realizing the
Lord, plays with Him.

The mystery of the inaccessible and the 
secret
of the scriptures he unravels.

He reaches his Home within and its essence
he comes to know;

In the lotus feet of the Beloved he sees
his true destination.

The happily married woman rejoices with her
Spouse every moment, O Tulsi,

For her soul is attached to the Word, and
revels ever in cosmic flight.

(Sant Tulsi Sahib, Book of Shabdavali)

Here Comes the Suratia -- the Soul



Here Comes the Suratia -- the Soul






Here comes the Suratia [the Soul] full of yearning and pining. 

Nowhere in the world, has she found peace. She 
remained roasted in the fire of pain, pleasure 
and doubts. 

Nowhere could she get the secrets and whereabouts 
of Sat Pad (the True Eternal Region) though she made 
a thorough search in all extant religions.

Seeking and searching, she fortunately came in 
contact with the Sat Guru. She adopted His Saran* 
on listening to His discourses.

Guru very mercifully explained to her the easy 
modes and methods of Surat Shabd Yoga. The 
dried up branches of her mind-tree now again 
became green.

-- Huzur Maharaj Rai Saligram, Prem Bani Radhasoami, Volume II
