Sant Mat is a Path of Love and Affection, by Baba Ram Singh

 

 

SANT MAT IS A PATH OF LOVE AND AFFECTION. The soul is a form of love. The Master is also love. Even God Almighty is love and the Path to get connected to God Almighty is also love.





There is only one love that we have. Now, love is not multidirectional — it is only one love that we have. However, now we are faced with spirituality and our love and devotion for our Master and love for this world as well.


Today, our love is outwardly focused and we have our love and affection towards all outward worldly matters and our relationships. Now, this is not something that is only from this life. We have been living crores of lives like this and we have started loving all the outward things — for so many crores of lives — and that has become a habit. To now direct that love at the feet of the Master is difficult and that will happen slowly.


When we do our Simran, and we do more and more Simran, then that Simran causes the change of direction of that love to go within. And, as we do more and more Simran and we go within and we manifest the Form of the Master, there we develop our true love and affection and faith in the Master. Then we have completely moved our love to His feet from the outside world.


Therefore, we should make it a habit to do Simran. When we are cooking our food or even doing any other activity, we should try to do as much Simran as possible because, by doing Simran, we will start getting focused within.


When we manifest the Form of the Master within and we see the Radiant Form within then, automatically, our love and affection for the Master and full faith in the Master develops. And then, whatever we have heard in the Banis of the Saints, we understand their true meaning. And that love manifests within.


-- Baba Ram Singh, excerpted from a Meditation Talk, August 2nd, 2018, Love Is Not Multidirectional — It Is Only One Love That We Have

Meditation Done Regularly with Love and Affection, by Baba Ram Singh

 

 


Meditation Done Regularly with Love and Affection, by Baba Ram Singh


Blog Archive:

"We often are worried about all our worldly affairs and we spend all our time in that. We should remember that we will be leaving this world and everything that we see around us -- just like all our ancestors before us have left all of this. So, this is very temporary and it is only there for a few days.


"But we, oftentimes, completely indulge in the thoughts of the world around us and are often worried about or anxious about things around us. And, as a result, we tend not to do our Bhajan Simran and remember our Master. And that is how we are not able to then imbibe His Glory, His Grace, that He is showering on us.


"While we are going about our worldly duties, we should remember and look at it as if it’s a duty that we are performing. And, rather than getting entangled completely in it, we should remember our purpose of life and spend that time to do our Bhajan Simran and remember that, whatever we are doing in regards to these worldly aspects, it is only a matter of redeeming or doing our duties towards it.


"We should never look at Bhajan Simran as a burden. We should do it lovingly and we should do it with affection. When we do it regularly with love and affection, then the Master also gets pleased.


"Therefore, in our daily schedule, we should keep this as a priority. We should do our meditation and our Dhyan Bhajan first thing -- as a part of our schedule. And, that way, on a worldly note also, we will be able to have an otherwise peaceful life and be able to achieve the objective of this life."


-- Baba Ram Singh, excerpted from an August, 2018 meditation talk/satsang discourse titled, The Three Practices For Getting Salvation Of The Soul (satsang, seva, and Dhyan Bhajan [Surat Shabd Yoga Meditation])


"He is the One Love who Pervades the world,

discerned in His fullness only by the eyes of love; 

and those who know Him thus share, 

though they may never tell, 

the joyous and ineffable secret of the universe." 

(Kabir, Songs of Kabir)

Light and Sound on The Path: Mystic Poetry of Baba Somanath, Sant Namdev, Soami Ji Maharaj, and Huzur Maharaj Rai Saligram -- Sant Mat Radhasoami

 

 


Light and Sound on The Path: Mystic Poetry of Baba Somanath, Sant Namdev, Soami Ji Maharaj, and Huzur Maharaj Rai Saligram -- Sant Mat Radhasoami

https://SantMatRadhasoami.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default





Mystic Poetry (Bhajan, Hymn) of Baba Somanath: O beloved ones, repeat the Simran of Naam, Otherwise your life will be spoiled.


Naama sumirana karale pyaare

Nahi to hoya khuwaari (refrain)


O beloved ones, repeat the Simran of Naam,

Otherwise your life will be spoiled.


Kaama kalpanaa chora jaga se, hoya raho tuma nyaari


Cast out fantasies of desire from your heart;

Remain detached from this outer world.


Dhyaana guru kaa dhaara tu, jaise chandra chakoraa

Nirakhata raho nisadina, aatha hi praharaa

Hoi hai dyaala to kari hai nihaala

Pala me deya ubaari (1)


Contemplate on the Guru as the moonbird gazes at the moon;

Maintain your watch all the hours of the day and night.

When He becomes gracious, He showers His blessing on you,

And in an instant you attain salvation.


Dhru, Pralhaada, Vibhishana, aur Bhilani Shivari

Ganika Ajaamila jaise paapi naama anekana taari

Patita paavana naama nirmala

Tuma kyon chale bisaari (2)


Dhru, Prahlad, Vibhishana, 30 and Bhilni Shivari were saved.

His Naam liberated countless sinners like Ganika, the prostitute, and Ajamila, the sinner. 31 

The Immaculate Naam is the purifier of the fallen ones.

Why do you persist in your forgetfulness?


Nita nema kara prema se, svaasa svaasa ura dhaari

Chita dvai nainana madhye, sthira kara samhaari

Dhuna dhadhakaara hotaa jahaa

Ghantaa naada jhanakaari (3)


Constantly meditate with true love; with each and every breath, cherish the Naam in your heart.

Fix your attention between the two eyes; become firm and concentrate within.

Where the Dhun is resounding,

You will hear the peeling of Celestial Bells.


Dala sahasra kanvala ke paarachala, kaala kalaa saba haari

Sthula sukshama kaarana shariraa, mana na maayaa thahari

Sthaan trikuti brahma langa ke,

Manasarovara naahari (4)


When you travel to the regions beyond the Thousand-Petaled Lotus, the tricks of Kal are all conquered.

Rising above the physical, astral, and causal bodies, neither mind nor Maya remain.

Crossing over Trikuti, the region of Brahma, bathe in the waters of Mansarovar.


Hansa hoya sataloka sidhaare, satta purusha hi nihaare

Nita hota bina dhuna jahaa, satta hi satta pukaare

Bhaja Somanaatha naama niraamaya

Guru prataapa te huye nyaare (5)


The swan-bird of the soul departs for Sat Lok, where it beholds Sat Purush, the True Lord.

The music of the veena reverberates perpetually on the air.

In that Realm, the Truth of Truth calls forth.

Somanath says: “Repeat the Immaculate Naam.

Through the glory of the Guru, you will become free from this world.”

Mystic Verses of Sant Namdev from Three Sources


Namdev advises to accept divine instruction so that humanity may be contented and happy:


When I sing of God, then I behold Him;

Then I, His servant, obtain contentment.

Accept divine instruction, 0 man;

the true guru shall cause thee

to meet God.

Where the heavenly Light shineth,

There playeth spontaneous Music.

'God's Light is all-pervading'--

By the guru's favour I know that.

In the chamber of the heart are jewels

Which glitter there like lightning.

God is near, not distant,

And His Spirit completely filleth mine.

Where the inextinguishable sun of God's Word shineth,

There earthly lamps grow pale:

Through the guru's favour I have know this.

God's slave Nama hath been easily absorbed in Him.


-- Sant Namdev, Vani of Namdev quoted in, "Sant Namdev -- The Facts of His Religious Ideology", O.P. Ralhan, Anmol Publications, New Delhi



I Shall Never Forget the Lord Now



I shall never forget the Lord now,

I shall keep him clasped to my heart.

Were I to forget him, I should indeed lose all I have.


Every moment I offer my body and mind to the Lord,

Never for a moment do I let him go from my mind.

With every breath I drink the nectar of his remembrance --

This beggar thrives on the nectar of the Lord's Name.


Engrossed in his love, I keep repeating his sweet Name.

Were I to forget him, I would certainly come to grief.

Says Namdev, I shall never fix my hope on any but him.

I shall lay down my life to attain the wealth of his Name.


-- Sant Namdev, "Saint Namdev", translated by J.R. Puri, V.K. Sethi



It is your Music

I hear

0 Lord.

The rhythm of drums

jantar

and vina.

The supreme moment

has come.


I had chains around

my feet.

But now I have no fear

of this ocean of samsara [world of changes].


I looked within

and perfected devotion

says Namdev.


Govind [God] is right

here.

My heart dwells

at his feet.

Never will I give up

my love for him.

Let people laugh

all they wish.


Govind's [God's] name

will take you across

the ocean of samsara.

Why work yourself

to death

for the falsehood

of maya [illusion]?


A man will stake his life

for his money.

Should a bhakta [lover of the Beloved] not cherish

his love?


All that I want

is to please Ram [God]

says Namdev.


-- Sant Namdev,

"The Hindi Padavali",

Winand M. Callewaert translation

Motilal Banarsidass, Delhi





Beloved Radhasoami (Lord of All Souls) is Your Protector


Some selections of Radhaswami hymns found in the book, "Niyamawali," published in Agra, India:  


Guru is my Father and Mother. Who can describe His glory and eminence?


Beloved, merciful to the humble, Radhasoami, does good to my soul every moment. (Prem Bani Radhasoami, Huzur Maharaj)



0 Jiva [soul]! Why do you worry? Beloved Radhasoami is your protector. When you were born, He arranged milk for your feed and had your mother bring you up. He took care of you in every way and attracted you to His Holy Feet.


He provided you with all the pleasures of the senses and showed you the transitory nature of the world. He then drew you to Satsang and gave out to you the secrets and mysteries of the Nij Ghar (True Home). By His grace and mercy, go up and open the Tenth Door.


He improves your understanding by His discourses. He lets you examine the true nature of the mind, enabling you to give up your entanglements, delusions and adherences to past beliefs. He applies your Surat [Soul's Attention] to Shabd [inner Current of Sound and Light]. Ascend to higher regions and see beautiful scenes.


He makes the bell and the conch audible to you in Sahas-dal-kanwal [Thousand Petaled Lotus]. He shows you the splendor of Guru in Trikuti [Causal Plane, second inner Region]. See moonlight in the expanse of Sunn, and, reaching the perfect region beyond Bhanwargupha, perform Arti of Sat Guru.


Taking a telescope from Sat Purush, proceed to Alakh and Agam. Beyond lies the infinite Radhasoami Dham. Behold it and be enriched place your head at His Holy Feet. (Prem Bani Radhasoami, Huzur Maharaj)



Have patience. Do not be dejected. Fix your Attention on, and absorb yourself in the Holy Form of Guru. Always sing His praises. Make no excuses. This should be your aim, just as the Papiha (the sparrow hawk) patiently waits in expectation of the Swanti rain with a fixed aim.


Direct your Attention inward, do not allow it to flow out anywhere else. Put up with every thing inwardly. Accept nothing but internal joy. Have patience. Do not divulge acts of grace of Sat Guru to others. Live with Radhasoami like a fish in water. (Sar Bachan Radhasoami Poetry, Soami Ji Maharaj)

The Spiritual Message of Radhasoami (RadhaSwami), a Gospel of Love - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast






"In a nutshell, the Radhasoami Faith is a gospel of love. Love towards the holy feet of Radhasoami Dayal [Merciful Lord of the Soul], love towards the Guru of the time and love with all the human beings is its cardinal message." (Prof. Agam Prasad Mathur, "Petals of Love")


"The practice of Surat Shabd Yoga is dependent on the love generated in the devotee's heart for the Supreme Being Radhasoami Dayal [Merciful Lord of the Soul]. The Radhasoami Faith [Sant Mat] therefore advocates the blending of Yoga with Bhakti [devotion]." (Prof. Agam Prasad Mathur, "Petals of Love")
