A Stream of Light Moving Through Ages - This is What I Mean by Sant Mat, the Path of the Masters
There are moments in human history when certain souls appear not as isolated figures, but as expressions of a single continuous Power — a river of awakening flowing through time. Saints have long said: the path of realization is not created anew with each Teacher, but is carried by the Masters, generation after generation, like a flame passed from lamp to lamp so it never goes out.
This is the Great Tradition.
It has no beginning and no ending. It rises wherever the human heart cries out for truth.
It steps into the world whenever the world has forgotten the inner path.
It lives through many bodies, many names, many voices.
It is one Power, one Light, one Sound — expressed through countless Masters across the ages.
The Masters do not come to found religions. They come to awaken souls.
But human beings, longing for certainty, often turn mystic schools into religions — fossilized echoes of once-living truth. The Masters do not condemn this; they simply continue their work through new forms, new bodies, new eras, so that the living connection to the inner Power does not fade from the earth.
There were nights in Hathras when the hut seemed no larger than a lantern, but the light within it reached far beyond its walls. On such nights, when the air was still and the small clay lamp flickered against the mud plaster, Tulsi Sahib would speak not in prose, but in song — a stream of inner seeing shaped into verse.

The Supreme Being as the Ocean of Love (“Premsagar”)
“Premsagar soi satguru, jiva tihi lahe mai.”
“When the soul is merged into that Ocean, all sorrow disappears.”
Ocean of Love-Light
“Ram-sagar jyoti-svarupa, anant prem ko dham.”
“The Lord is an ocean of light and an abode of infinite love.”
— Sant Tulsi Sahib of Hathras
