Vegetarianism, Veganism, and the Path of the Masters - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast

 

Vegetarianism, Veganism, and the Path of the Masters - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast

Traditionally, Sant Mat and the yoga philosophy have advocated the lacto-vegetarian diet: abstinence from meat, fish, fowl, and eggs, but allowed dairy. Vegan means complete abstinence from all animal products and strictly adhering to a plant-based diet: no dairy, eggs, or meat of any kind, or products made from animals. Based on the current cruel practices of the dairy industry in India and around the world that violate the principle of ahimsa or non-violence, plus all the scores of medical studies showing that dairy consumption adversely affects our health and well-being, I believe if they were here today, the classic Saints such as Mahavira, Guru Kabir, Guru Nanak, Tukarama, Ravidas, Tulsi Das, Namdev, Dariya Sahib, etc...  would not only be advocating a vegetarian diet, but a vegan diet. These days, many are making this transition to vegan, including a growing percentage of those following Sant Mat. This is the compassionate direction that the vegetarian movement is headed in. Vegetarianism is going vegan!

In the East as well as in the West, the Gnostics and other advanced mystics: those serious practitioners of soul travel, inner Light and Sound meditation, have universally adhered to a plant-based diet. It’s hard to reach more subtle states of tranquility in meditation on an animal flesh diet based on the suffering of other beings. "A man of spiritual intensity does not eat corpses." (George Bernard Shaw)

Today a satsang edition of Spiritual Awakening Radio about the spiritual and ethical reasons for going veg, or better still: vegan. There are readings from Pythagoras, Kabir, Swami Sant Sevi Ji Maharaj, Darshan Singh, Kirpal Singh, Sawan Singh, Diet and Spirituality, by Dona Kelley (from Lotus Leaves), and... a document called, "My Visit to a Dairy Farm -- The Reality of Dairy Cruelty -- the Final Destination of Dairy Cows is the Slaughterhouse", published by Pravin K. Shah of the Jaina Education Committee of Jainism (the Vegan Jain movement.)

Spiritual Light to Guide You On Your Path - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast

Hazur Baba Sawan Singh: "In the center behind and above the eyes there is an aperture; on this side of it is the material world, in which we are now living; and on the other side is the astral world." Baba Somanath: "Those who transcend the realm of mind and the senses and enter the regions of pure spirit come to know, as a living reality, that dwelling within all forms of life, human and otherwise, is one pure Light and Love... though encased in so many types of veils due to karmic impressions."

For many, the term "meditation" suggests merely a practice about attaining a more relaxed state and only represents a series of techniques about stress reduction. For the Initiate of the Mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven however, meditation represents a Portal to the Divine, a Door in the Heavens leading to Realms Beyond, is a Bright Star in a Mystic Sky that turns into a Tunnel of Light or River of Divine Light that flows into the Eternal Ocean of God!

"A Light of utmost splendor glows on the eyes of my soul. Therein have I seen the inexpressible ordering of all things, and recognized God's unspeakable glory - that incomprehensible wonder - the tender caress between God and the soul... the unmingled joy of union, the Living Love of Eternity as it now is and evermore shall be." (The German Mystic Mechthild of Magdeburg, Flowing Light of the Godhead)

"Now has Divine Light delivered me from captivity, and joined me by gentility to the Divine will of Love" (The French Mystic, Marguerite Porete, The Mirror of Simple Souls)

"This 'Single' or 'Third Eye' provides an ingress into the spiritual worlds - the Kingdom of God - now a lost realm to most of us... Of this inlet or ingress little is known by the people at large." (Sant Kirpal Singh)

Swami SantSevi Ji Maharaj: "What is the glorious destination that we are striving for? When we close our eyes we see darkness within, it is the realm of ignorance. When the light dawns within you, then you see that you reside in noble regions. In darkness resides ignorance and in light resides knowledge.

"When we see darkness with our eyes closed we are in the realm of death and re-birth because we are not aware of our true nature. When we come out of the realm of darkness and enter into the realm of light, we will at the same time escape the web of death. If we remain in darkness it is not possible to be free from the cycle of birth and death. Only when we achieve the inner light—the divine light which represents the glory of the Divine—can we be liberated from the cycle of birth and death.

Baba Somanath: "Seek the refuge of the Satguru, O Dear One, for He will free you from your karmic debt. The entire world is consumed by forgetfulness and confusion. No one appreciates the unique message of the Saints. The unfortunate ones of this world are dominated by Maya [illusion], and they do not attain the Immaculate State. Those upon whom the Grace of the Primal Creator is showered, alone have the desire to drink the Nectar of Immortality."

Baba Ram Singh: "So, the point of telling you is that this Path, which has been sent by God Almighty Himself - the Surat Shabd Yoga [Inner Light and Sound Meditation Practice] - that can be attained only by initiation from a True Master... Therefore, all the Masters, at all times, have always talked and sung the praise of Surat Shabd. And that has been the message of the Masters in various yugas [epochs of time]... Therefore, when we are initiated by our Masters, it is necessary for us to get connected with the Shabd [the inner Light and Sound Current] every day - to do our meditation every day. And, by doing so, we are helping our Master to help us..."

Asks Kabir: "For Millions of Years You Have Slept, This Morning Will You Not Wake?"

Spiritual Experiences and Mystical Experiences of Heaven, OOBEs & NDEs, and the Rule About Not Sharing One's Inner Experiences in Sant Mat - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast

 

Spiritual Experiences and Mystical Experiences of Heaven, OOBEs & NDEs, and the Rule About Not Sharing One's Inner Experiences in Sant Mat - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast

Today... explaining the rule in Sant Mat about not sharing one's own personal inner experiences with others - why is that? It's all about keeping experiences private, authentic, free from ego and free from outside contamination or mental phantasmagoria, also free of pressures and expectations about what one "should" be experiencing. Everyone is at their own unique level or place in Inner Space. We need only to focus on our own inward journey, stay in touch with That, and keep it real, keep it 100!

Seek To See God Now - Liberation During This Life - Mystic-Poem of Sant Tulsi Sahib

"In this life, the concept of salvation all describe;

To meet the Lord by dying while living [meditation], none discloses.

They all speak of the goal of salvation after death;

How to attain it while living, no one says.

Were they to reveal the method of achieving release while living,

Then alone would Tulsi be convinced of their words.

Who speaks, after seeing with their own eyes,

and teach the method of salvation during life,

They are of the stage and stature of Saints,

for they reveal the quintessence of the soul."

The Expanse Above, from Saint Isaac the Syrian's Spiritual Works, Translated by Mary Hansbury:

"By stillness of the body and ceasing from this world, solitaries imagine the true stillness and the withdrawal from nature which will occur at the end of the corporeal world. By means of the mind, the solitaries are united with the world of the Spirit. By means of meditation, they are involved in the expanse above."

Awaken to the Resplendent Light Within You - Sant Tulsi Sahib of Hathras, Mystic Verses from the Book of Shabdavali:

"Listen, O swan-soul, ascend to your true abode.

So says the Master again and again.

You do not pay attention to his words;

O finish your sorrows and joys and transmigrations.

If the deluded soul were to unite with her Source,

Never again would she be encumbered by body and mind.

From the Source of the Divine Ocean opens a Portal to the Light;

O awaken that resplendent Light within you."

In Divine Love (Bhakti), Light, and Sound, At the Feet of the Masters, Radhasoami,

A Possible Reincarnation of Kabir: Saint Dariya Sahib of Bihar, A Towering Figure in Sant Mat History - Spiritual Awakening Radio - Sant Mat Satsang Podcasts - A Satsang Without Walls

 

 

A Possible Reincarnation of Kabir: Saint Dariya Sahib of Bihar, A Towering Figure in Sant Mat History - Spiritual Awakening Radio - Sant Mat Satsang Podcasts - A Satsang Without Walls

From the "Love Chapter" of Saint Dariya:

"Blessed is the eye which is permeated with love.

Without love it is like a pebble or stone.

Like a gardener without a garden,

    the eye remains empty without love.

What is the state of a human being without love?

He is like one who is denied all delicacies,

    and whose mouth is filled only with dust.

Without love one does not find the flow

    of the Sound Current.

But when the flower of love blossoms,

    its fragrance is praised by all.

"Many are the paths prevalent in this world

Knowing the proper wisdom, work out your own salvation.

He who obtains a wise and discriminating Saint,

Recognizes the path of salvation.

"The technique of love is truly the root of spirituality.

Follow this technique as imparted by the Master.

When with his grace the inner lamp is lighted,

The true Naam, the support of all, comes to sight.

"Just as the lotus resides in water,

It does not come to bloom by water.

Only when the light of the sun appears,

Does the lotus open its petals,

As the contemplative (inner) eye opens to see.

"The spiritual lotus likewise resides in the human body

    which is like a pond.

Its sustaining water is close to the lotus.

But only when love for the Satguru arises,

Does the inner lotus bloom,

And one becomes a devotee of the Lord's holy feet.

"Without love, there is no spiritual path.

The path lives in love.

"With intensification of love, one comes in contact

    with the True Sound,

And like a lotus in water, abides in its peace and bliss.

"When love and endearment are firmly ingrained,

One attains the elixir of Naam, and enjoys its bliss.

Being firmly entrenched in love and endearment,

And being well-steeped in devotion,

    one obtains the true love.

"Without love one does not find the flow

    of the Sound Current.

But when the flower of love blossoms,

    its fragrance is praised by all."

Finding Our Spiritual Oasis (Inner Peace, Rest, Tranquility) During This Life - Escaping the Illusion and Turmoil of the World During This Kali Yuga Age - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast - Sant Mat Satsang Podcasts - A Satsang Without Walls

By developing a spiritual practice, on demand we are able to find respite from the madness of the world, this turbulent ocean of samsara, gaining our freedom from serving as pawns of a demiurgical, kalistic culture of conflict and agitated minds.

"What our modern world has suffered from most of all is runaway ideology, the agitated attachment to ideas that thereby become the playthings of infrahuman energies. This is the great danger of all ideologies, whether political, religious, or academic." (Jacob Needleman expressing some thoughts about the Gospel of Thomas)

"Solitude is not something you must hope for in the future. Rather, it is a deepening of the present, and unless you look for it in the present you will never find it." (Thomas Merton)

The goal of this Sant Mat Satsang discourse is to shed more light on the meditation practices of the Sants which liberate the soul, provides a spiritual oasis for souls to be free from the agents of the negative power, ever-and-always agitating minds in this world, keeping them off-center so they never get around to going within, finding their true self and exploring the Divine Realms available inside during spiritual practice.

We must rise above during our meditations in order to ultimately return to the Ocean of Love and All-Consciousness known as God... above this bodily existence, above this material plane, above time or KAL, above mind, above maya or illusion and all these outer planes of creation. As it says in the Greek Gospel of Thomas "we enter into Rest." And as Rumi has written in his mystic poetry, To Him We Shall Return.

Meister Eckhart the German Mystic: "If the soul is to see God, then it must see no temporal thing, for as long as the soul is conscious of time or space, or of an idea, it cannot know God."

This discourse is also deliberately mindful of the lineage of Sant Mat Masters spanning many centuries, tracing this Path of the Masters back through time to Satguru Kabir.

References, Subjects, Sources and Segments Include: Rumi, Gospel of Thomas, The Empty Tomb of Satguru Kabir (The Story of Kabir's Body Turning Into Lotus Flowers), Plucking Flowers of Spirituality Within Your Body Through the Meditation Practice of the Sants, The Anurag Sagar (Ocean of Love) and Sant Dharam Das), the Prakash Mani Gita on Inner Sound Meditation, Sat Saheb and Sant Dariya Sahib of Bihar, Sant Tulsi Sahib of Hathras, Maharaj Girdhari Sahib of Lucknow, Swami Ji Maharaj of Agra (Sar Bachan Radhasoami Poetry), Sant Garib Das of the Radhaswami Satsang, Rohilla, Delhi (book of Anmol Vachan), Baba Jaimal Singh of Beas, Hazur Baba Sawan Singh, Baba Somanath, Sant Kirpal Singh, Sant Ji (The Light of Ajaib), and Baba Ram Singh's Satsang Discourse on Kabir and Sant Dharam Das - Anurag Sagar commentary: The Saints are Instructed by The Almighty to Fetch the Troubled Souls. "The Almighty has promised the souls who have left Him and into the world of Kal, that if they are in trouble, or if they remember Him, He shall come to fetch them." (Baba Ram Singh on the liberation of souls during this Kali Yuga age)

Love Opens a Portal to God - The Radhasoami Faith is a Gospel of Love - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast

"A heart devoid of love or affection is as hard as stone, and does not form a suitable receptacle for the light of Heavenly Grace and Mercy... Where pure love dwells there sheds the light of Grace, as it forms a link with the Spirit or Love Current from It's Source, the Supreme Being...  Love or the power of attraction is the basis of the whole creation and the cause of its sustenance and preservation... Every wave of love rising in a lover’s heart brings tidings of goodness and joy from the Beloved, and every thought springing up in such a heart is a harbinger of good works and good services for the sake of the Beloved."

"In a nut-shell, 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." (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, Anami Purush]. The Radhasoami Faith [Sant Mat] therefore advocates the blending of Yoga with Bhakti [devotion]." (Agam Prasad Mathur)

Sant Mat Devotional Practices

"It should be noted that all the following activities are included in devotional practices (Abhyas):

(1) Sumiran [Simran: Repetition of the Holy Name];

(2) Sumiran and Dhyan [Repetition of the Holy Name along with Contemplation of the Holy Form];

(3) Bhajan [Listening to the Sound Current];

(4) Recitation of holy books or listening to their recital in Satsang intelligently;

(5) Discussing the principles of the Radhasoami Faith or listening to such discussion;

(6) Thinking about and reflecting on matters pertaining to the Radhasoami Faith and its practices and pondering them; and

(7) Examining the ways of one's mind and senses daily, keeping them under control as far as possible." (Huzur Maharaj, Prem Patra Radhasoami, Volume I)

Huzur Maharaj published the writings of Shiv Dayal Singh as well as his own writings. Huzur was one of the great prolific writers of the Sant Mat tradition of India. I was greatly influenced by his many volumes, especially Prem Patra Radhaswami, volumes one through six, an encyclopedia of Sant Mat teachings, Prem Bani Radhaswami (bhakti hymns and mystic poetry), volumes one through four, Prem Updesh Radhasoami, Jugat Prakash (instructions for initiates), Radhasoami Mat Darshan, Huzur's Letters to Satsangis, and Radhasoami Mat Prakash, which was the very first Sant Mat publication from India to appear in the English language, near the beginning of the 20th Century. (Radhaswami)

Mystic Traveler Baba Somanath

 

Mystic Traveler Baba Somanath

Make me repeat the Naam day and night.

And keep me steadfastly absorbed in contemplation on You.

Rivet my attention at the still point between the eyes,

And show me the Light of Spiritual knowledge.

Sthula sukshama kaaranaadi

Sthaana brahmaa langhaaiye

Maanasarovara shunya sthaana me

Snaana niramala karaaiye

Ferrying me across the physical, astral and causal realms,

Lead me into the region of Parbrahm.

In the spiritual pool of Mansarovar, in the region of the Void,

Let me bathe in those purifying waters, so that I may become immaculate and whole.

Dhuna saara shabda adhaar deyake

Mahaasuna charhaaiye

Sohang dhaara sataloka darsaaya

Bina dhuna bajaaiye

Giving me the support of the Dhun, the True Shabd,

Transport my soul into the Great Void.

Drawing me upwards on the stream of Sohang Shabd; reveal the vision of the True Realm, Sat Lok,

Where divine strains of the veena fill the air.

Alakha agama gamanaa jaaki

Tahaa jaaya pauchaaiye

Jaana baalaka dina mujhe

Aada anaama samaaiye

Transport me to Alakh and Agam – the invisible and inaccessible regions.

Whoever reaches there, has come to the end of the journey.

Regarding me as your helpless child,

Merge me into the primal Anami Lok.

-- Baba Somanath  

Spirituality of the Sikh Scriptures of India - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast

 

Spirituality of the Sikh Scriptures of India (Adi Granth, Gurbani, Guru Granth, Satgurus) - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast

Essential Key Teachings According to the Satgurus in the Sikh Scriptures, the Guru Granth

1) Living Masters Having Living Disciples - The Need For The Living Satguru and For Initiation Into the Meditation Practice

"There can be no jnana (true knowledge) without meeting a Master-soul, nor meditation without a first-hand experience." (Guru Arjan Dev, Bhairon M5)

“Meet a Satguru and take his initiation. Surrender thine all and peep within.” (Guru Nanak, Gauri M1)

"Prays Nanak, But for Society of the Saints, the whole world is false." (Gopal Singh translation)

"In the Guru-given Gnosis is contained the wealth of the Lord’s Name, and the Lord’s Name, the Guru imprints in the man’s mind." (Manmohan Singh translation)

“In utter darkness, the Master’s Word (Guru-Mantra) shines forth into Light. In the company of the Master, all are rescued and saved.” (Guru Arjan Dev, Gond M5)

“The Master has given me the perfect Word or Mantra.” (Guru Arjan Dev, Bhairon M5)

2) Surat Shabd Yoga, in Meditation Hearing the Unstruck Melody of the Sound Current (Anhad Shabd, Naam, Nada According to the Sikh Scriptures)

Living Masters have always initiated their disciples into meditation practice (Naam Dhan), and this includes the practice of hearing the Anhad Shabd (Unstruck Celestial Melody) within one’s self during meditation practice. "The Unstruck Melody that one seeks to hear, hear it thou in the instruction of the Guru's." (Sri Rag M. 1)

"Within me rings the Unstruck Melody of the Lord’s flute, yea, He in whose presence one's mind is attuned to the Sound of the Inner Music." (Sri Rag, Kabir)

"At the (tenth) door rings the Unstruck Melody. The Lord echoes thus in every heart." (Vadhans M. 5)

3) Non-Violence (Ahimsa) in Thought, Word, and Deeds Including Following a Non-violent Vegetarian Diet in the Adi Granth and Other Texts

Shri Guru Nanak Dev abstained from animal food and enjoined against cruelty to animals: "Having prohibited his disciples to drink wine and eat pork, he (Nanak) himself abstained from eating flesh and ordered not to hurt any living being." (Mohsin Fani, Persian Scholar of Comparative Religion, Author of the, DABISTAN-E-MAZAHIB)

"Kabeer says, the dinner of beans and rice is excellent when flavored with salt. Who would cut throats to have meat with his bread?" (Guru Granth Sahib Ji, 1374)

"One who does not steal, commit adultery, slander anyone, gamble, eat meat or drink wine will be liberated in this very life (i.e. Jeewan Mukt)". (Guru Gobind Singh, 10th Sikh Guru, Sudharam Marag Granth)

"Living by neglect and greed, the world eats dead carcasses. Like a goblin or a beast, they kill and eat the forbidden carcasses of meat. Control your urges, or else you will be thrown into the tortures of hell." (Guru Arjan Dev, Guru Granth Sahib Ji, 723).

Bhai Gurdaas Ji said: "They eat meat by cutting throats, what will their own condition be?" (Vaar 24, Pauree 17)

“To take what rightfully belongs to another, is like a Muslim eating pork, or a Hindu eating beef. Our Guru, our Spiritual Guide, stands by us if we do not eat those carcasses. By mere talk, people do not earn Liberation. Salvation only comes from the practice of truth." (Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Guru Granth Sahib Ji, 141)
