A Brief Introduction to This Spiritual Path Called Sant Mat - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast

 

A Brief Introduction to This Spiritual Path Called Sant Mat

Sant Tulsi Sahib: "Within this body breathes the secret essence. Within this body beats the heart of the Vedas [scriptures]. Within this body shines the entire Universe, so the saints reveal."

As the podcast title suggests, a right-to-the-point, in this case fifteen-minute summary of the essential beliefs and heavenly goals of this spiritual path called Sant Mat, which is defined as the Path of the Masters and Teachings of the Saints (Sants). Also explored are the ethical precepts, the low karma peaceful lifestyle followed by initiates of this path (satsangis). And you'll learn about the spiritual practice called Surat Shabd Yoga, which means being yoked to, or to become one with, the Inner Light and Sound of God (the Positive Power) during meditation. This Sant Mat Satsang Podcast concludes with a mystic poem of Sant Tulsi Sahib of Hathras on transcending the material realm and leaving the conventional world of religion behind, seeking and finding a living gnostic path during this life and experiencing communion with the Divine in the here and now.

Meditation For Beginners - Let's Go Within and Explore Inner Space

Today, an Introduction to the Sant Mat Approach to Meditation, the Goals and Methods of Spiritual Practice.

Seven Teachings of Sant Mat: 1) God is Real. 2) God is Love, the Ocean of Love and Compassion. 3) All of the world scriptures teach about the same manifestation of God as inner mystical Light and Sound. 4) Our true identity is the soul, the self, and the soul is part of God and, like God, pure love. 5) During this human existence, we have an opportunity to experience God. 6) The Third Eye is the Seat of the Soul, thus there is the need to look within in order to get in touch with our soul and God. As we experience communing with God's love during meditation -- Surat Shabd Yoga -- we can rise above body-consciousness and explore Inner Space, the "Kingdom of the Heavens" that are within us. "We travel back from the Realm of Darkness to the Realm of Light, from the Light to Divine Sound, and from the realm of Sound to the Soundless State [Anami, Radhaswami]." (Swami Sant Sevi Ji Maharaj) The drop merges back into the Ocean of Love. 7) As we get initiated into the Mysteries of the Spirit by a Living Teacher (Master, Sant Satguru), the purpose of our life is fulfilled. Reuniting with God is our reason to be here: "It was for the sake of the God-conscious beings that our True Lord created this earth, and began this play of death and birth." (Adi Granth) Guru Kabir says: "For millions of years you have slept. This morning, will you not wake?" (Seven Teachings of Sant Mat, from the Sant Mat section of SpiritualAwakeningRadio.com)

"By practicing devotion through these four techniques: Manas Japa (Simran, recitation of a divine name or names), Manas Dhyana (Dhyan, focus on the divine form), Dristi Sadhana (Yoga of Inner Light, Inner Seeing, Inner Light Meditation, focus on the Infinitesimal Point), and Nadanusandhana Yoga (Surat Shabd Yoga, concentration on the inner Divine Sounds) - the practitioner consecutively transcends the realms of darkness, Light, and Sound which cloak the Supreme Truth -- the Divine Reality." (Maharshi Mehi)

"Make the mind quiet as only a quiet mind can meditate. Don’t understand meditation as a burden, do it lovingly. Don’t pay any attention to the outer sounds during the meditation; concentrate at the Eye Center." (Santji, The Ambrosial Hour)

"If we set a fixed time for our meditation, and we also set a fixed place for sitting for that meditation, then the mind also gets used to it. If we keep changing the time of our meditation, or keep changing the place of our meditation, then that gives an opportunity for the mind to also create havoc with us. And then the mind also reminds us of so many other things that have to be done. And that way, it keeps disturbing us. So, if it is used to sitting at a fixed time, it realizes that, 'Yes, this is the time for meditation,' and then, it leaves us alone for that time." (Baba Ram Singh)

Note: In the Sant tradition, the complete methods and secrets of the full meditation practice are communicated at the time of INITIATION (Diksha) by a living Master (Sant Satguru, Competent, Qualified Teacher) or a representative of a Master. (Jai Guru)

Meditation For Beginners: An Introduction to Sant Mat Meditation -- Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast

Introductory Meditation Instructions from Hazur Baba Sawan Singh: "As to any exercises which might help you, until the time of your initiation, I can only suggest at this time that you may sit in meditation, in a quiet place, like your own bedroom or some room as secluded as possible, and with spine and body erect, in a comfortable position, fix all the attention at the center just back of the two eyes [at the third eye], and slowly repeat the word RADHASWAMI ['Ra-Dha-Swam-e'], fixing the mind on the Supreme Being who is your Supreme Father."

Remember, this is the Introductory Meditation, not the full practice learned at the time of Initiation. This is only the beginning.

Inner Light and Sound Meditation: Surat Shabd Yoga means: The Union (Yoga) of the attention faculty of the soul (Surat) with the inner Light and Sound (Shabd) of God during meditation practice.

"The practices which have been taught for purifying the spirit and making it ascend upwards should be performed regularly and with feelings of love." (Huzur Maharaj Rai Saligram, Prem Updesh Radhasoami)

In the Sant tradition, the complete methods and secrets of meditation practice are communicated at the time of INITIATION (Diksha) by a living Master (Sant Satguru, Competent, Qualified Teacher) or a representative of a Master (not a past Saint or holy book). A Living Teacher, being fully acquainted with the 'landscape' of Inner Space, is able to impart to initiate-candidates valuable guidance on how to safely make the journey of ascension to the Inner Regions during meditation practice within. This kind of spiritual transmission and the details of Surat Shabd Yoga (Inner Light and Sound Meditation) practice are not found in books, old scriptures of the past, and are not for sale, but are given freely to seekers by a living Teacher. At the time of Initiation one vows to practice meditation each day. The spiritual path is a life-long commitment.

Below Are NOTES About Today's PODCAST (10-7-19):

A marathon Sant Mat Satsang Podcast today providing an overview of the meditation practices of Sant Mat, and then some Introductory Meditation Instructions. This is the longest program I've ever recorded, even longer than my original Gospel of Thomas program ("The Spiritual Message of the Gospel of Thomas and the Syriac Mystics"). These are not initiation instructions but some public domain introductory instructions (what some call the Convenient Method, Jyoti or Light Meditation) to give new spiritual seekers some idea about the Wonders of Inner Space that are available, the Kingdom of the Heavens within.  Introductory Meditation Instructions from Sawan Singh and Kirpal Singh (courtesy of KirpalSingh.org).

The Stages of Sant Mat Meditation

1) Simran/Manas Jap: the repetition of a sacred Name or sacred Names of God;

2) Dhyan: the first level of Dhyan is Manas Dhyan: visualizing the form of one's Satguru;

3) A more subtle level of Dhyan is Drishti Sadhana: a focused gaze, the technique of focusing upon an Infinitesimal Point (Inner Light Meditation). This Point will eventually blossom into inner Light or visions of Light. One gazes into the middle of the darkness or the Light one sees while in meditation;

4) Nada Sadhana: Surat Shabd Yoga, Inner Sound Meditation, the practice of inner spiritual or transcendental hearing -- the Yoga of the Audible Life Stream;

5) Reaching the State of Kaivalya, Oneness with the Supreme Being in the Pure Conscious Realm. The ultimate goal is to merge into the upper level of Kaivalya known as Sabdatita [Sabtatit] Pad -- the State beyond the Sound, the Ultimate Reality of God in the Nirguna or Formless State, also described with terms such as Anami (Nameless), Anadi (Soundlessness), Radhasoami (The Lord of the Soul), Satya Raam (the All-Pervading Formless Supreme Being), and the Ocean of Love (Anurag Sagar). 

The 'drop' of the soul enters into the 'rivulet' or 'river' of the Holy Stream of Sound that empties into the Ocean of God, the Ocean of Love.

As the Masters say, "Ultimately, success in meditation is all due to God's Grace and Compassion."
