Spiritual Discourses of Radhasoami (RadhaSwami), by Huzur Maharaj Rai Saligram -- Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast

Satsang Readings and Commentary Based on, Prem Patra Radhasoami, The Spiritual Love Discourses of the Lord of the Soul, Volumes One and Two, by Huzur Maharaj Rai Saligram Bahadhur, great teacher, prolific writer and one of the founding Satgurus of Sant Mat in recent centuries.

"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 is most sublime, having its origin in the Highest Region, the Abode of the Supreme Being. In whatever heart it springs up, It will gradually raise and carry the fortunate possessor of this lofty and noble passion to the Highest Region." (Huzur Maharaj)

An Excerpt from the article: On the Origin, Usage, and Meaning of the Most High Sacred Name of God “Radhasoami";

Anmol Vachan, by Sant Gharib Das;

"When you sing the name ‘Radhasoami’, you do the simran of the ‘Five Names’.” (Sant Gharib Das, Book of Anmol Bachan)

“No devotee was so near and dear to Soamiji Maharaj as Hazur Maharaj [Rai Salig Ram Bahadhur] was. In his letters to Hazur Maharaj he addressed him as 'Aziz-az-Jan', meaning dearer than self. In ecstasy, grace and mercy, once he said, 'I do not know whether I am Rai Salig Ram’s Guru or he is mine.'" (Petals of Love, by A.P. Mathur)

"Addressing Lala Seth Pratap Singh, Soamiji Maharaj observed: 'The Faith I had given out was that of Sat Naam and Anami. The Radhasoami Faith has been introduced by Salig Ram (Huzur Maharaj). You should let it also continue. Satsang must go on. Satsang shall spread far and wide in future.'" (Last Words of Soamiji)

"This creation is subject to dissolution and everything therein is also perishable. He alone is wise and prudent who has carefully examined the affairs of the world and, finding it liable to destruction and therefore unreal and illusory, has derived real benefit from his human body by performing the practices of Simran and Bhajan and, taking advantage of the gifts bestowed on the human body by the Supreme Lord, has succeeded in taking his Surat, i.e. the spirit which is the most invaluable essence in the creation, to its Original Home." (Prose, Book One, Verse One)

God is the Ocean of Love.

In Divine Love, Light and Sound, Radhasoami, Peace Be to You,

"Through inner meditation the jivatman (individual soul) begins its ascent toward the Soundless State where it will eventually merge with the Divine. When the soul thus experiences oneness with God, it will attain ultimate peace and supreme joy. Sant Mat teaches a path to the attainment of this joy and peace. This is the significance of the way of the Saints and the importance of Santmat." (Swami Sant Sevi Ji Maharaj, Harmony of All Religions)

Maharshi Mehi:

1. Stillness or steadiness is the essence of Shanti [Peace, Tranquility, Bliss, Communion with God].

2. He who has attained Shanti is a saint.

3. Sant Mat encompasses the thoughts and way of saints.

4. The desire for attaining Shanti is natural in human beings.

In the Upanishads the formula for the attainment of Shanti is expounded by the seers and saints of these ancient works. Similar views have been expressed by the saints of all times, including such saints as Guru Nanak Sahab and Kabir Sahab who expounded their views in the Punjabi and Hindi languages respectively. Such expressions are for the inspiration and edification of all people. (The Philosophy of Liberation)

"The souls are all bound by illusions and are rotating round the great wheel of birth and death. This state of the individual soul or souls is the root cause of all sufferings. In order to come out of these, the only remedy is devotion to God." (Padavali of Maharshi Mehi)

"Such is the peculiar efficacy of the Path of Love and Devotion that if you adopt it, it will transport you to the Reservoir of Ambrosia. In the Source or Fountain, i.e., in Radhaswami Dham [the Eighth Heaven], there is absolutely no trace of maya [illusion]. There it is all love and love alone. It is an immense Reservoir of Love, having no beginning and no end." (Sar Bachan Poetry, Volume One, Agra)

Daya Bai: "My heart burns, O Ram [God], with the fire of separation; I yearn to behold You, O lovely enchanter of my heart."

"True bliss of meeting the Beloved Lord is such that its rapturous absorption does not diminish or wear out. There is continual intoxication of the Holy Name and nectar." (Huzur Maharaj Rai Saligram, "Nij Updesh")

Anurag Sagar: "Whenever you are in trouble, sit down for doing simran (repetition of the holy names). When you reach the state of concentration, then you are surrounded by a protective aura automatically. No power on earth can harm you then. Therefore, do simran and be anxiety-free."

Sant Ravidas: "My (inner) tongue is constantly preoccupied with repeating God's Name, and my hands are constantly engaged in doing my work. Thus have I become carefree. God will take care of me, says Ravidas."

Sant Dariya Sahib of Bihar: "Be not intimidated by any fear. Hold fast to the Naam (the Positive Power of inner Light and Sound of God) which is always there to help."

Kabir said, "Manifest the Guru in the form of the Sound Current behind the eyes [at the third eye center]. Then you will have no doubts left. If you want to be free from anxiety, then catch the Sound Current."

"There is nothing more important than meditation. Increase this practice from day to day; never decrease it." --- Baba Jaimal Singh

"Do not live even a single day without inner meditation." --- Baba Devi Sahab

"Always keep your mind in simran. It will purify the mind. When pure it will be able to hear the inner Sound (Shabd Dhun)." - Baba Jaimal Singh

Inner Seeing and Hearing: "Just as we need light and sound in the outer universe, we need light and sound in the inner universe, too." - Swami Sant Sevi Ji Maharaj

Shah Niaz, Sufi Saint: "The whole world is reverberating with Sound. To listen to It thou must unseal thine inner ears, then shalt thou hear an Unending Music, and that shall lead thee beyond the confines of death."

Seek Only That Which Is Immortal

Like a swan, oh soul, separate the milk from water,

and live in perpetual ecstasy.

Understand the method, and focus your attention at the eye center

so as to merge your soul in the Music Divine.

Renouncing the attractions of food and drink, sleep and sloth,

listen to the Tale of the Beyond.

If you lose this golden opportunity, you will continue to wander

through the Four Grand Divisions of Creation.

Oh friend, pay attention to the command of the Guru,

practice what He has taught you.

Invert your senses and control all desires, discipline the mind;

only then can you rise within and listen to the Unstruck Music.

There this blissful enchantment is continually resounding within,

why remain indifferent to it?

This is the Sacred Message given to you by Radhasoami --

the gracious Master -- through this sacred hymn.

-- Swami Ji Maharaj

Sant Mat Quote of the Day:

"Speak to your mind as follows. 'O mind! Control yourself and be steady. Do not speak angrily even with those who incite you to anger. Do not give up friendship with the Friend you have accepted, i.e., maintain your love with God. Do not desert your duty.' Perform various duties with your hands and keep your mind with the Abode of Grace (Ram, God)." (The Book of Kahara, a section of the Bijak of Kabir)

"Faith, worth the name, must be living. It must consist in acquiring an affection, or rather an intense love, for the Supreme Being and an intense desire to approach Him; and this latter we can do in the interior of the body, for the highway is within us." (Huzur Maharaj, "Holy Epistles")

"The true Supreme Being is within everyone, and the Path leading to Him is also within all. By means of His rays or currents, He pervades all. Jiva or Surat [the soul, spirit] is a particle of the Supreme Being like a ray and the sun, or a drop and the ocean." (Huzur Maharaj, Prem Patra Radhasoami, Volume III)

Kabir: "In each house (heart) the Light shines. But we are blind [ignorant of that divine Light of knowledge] so we do not see it. If we keep looking we will find the Light and will destroy the shackles of death."

"We have only one consciousness stream. When we associate with truth, we ascend upwards and when we associate with untruth we fall down." (Acharya Tulsi, a Jainst teacher quoted in, "The Harmony of All Religions")

"The Center of 'seeing' or inner focus is known as Ajna Chakra (the third eye). When the mind is focused on it, the divine Light pervades every part of one's being." (Acharya Tulsi, a Jainst teacher quoted in, "The Harmony of All Religions")

"Whoever is unified will be full of Light; whoever is divided is full of darkness." (Yeshua, Gospel of Thomas) "If therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of Light." (Yeshua, Gospel of Matthew)

"Moving down from the middle of the two eyes is going towards ignorance, and moving up from the middle of two eyes is going towards Knowledge." (Bhagirath Baba)

"The beginning of the Turiyaa state has been said to be the Aajnaa-chakra [Third Eye Center] (the Guru instructs about the Point in between the two eyes where the vision of both unites), and the destination of this is in Kaivalya--the State of Oneness." (Bhagirath Baba)

"Meditation is the process of withdrawing the attention from the world outside, and focusing it at the seat of the soul in the body, behind and between the eyebrows. This point is known as the inner eye, third eye, the single eye, shiv netra, tisra til, or the divya chakshu. In order to withdraw our attention and focus it on this point, mind must be controlled and stilled." (Kirpal Singh)

"O traveller! Seek the path that lies within you. You and your Beloved are in the same body. Your Beloved is pervading everywhere, but not being perceived. Those initiated by Guru are able to recognize Him within their bodies. O traveller! If you wish to go alone on the path of the Lord, look for the path within and do not delay. The four spheres of darkness, Light, Sound and Soundlessness [Anadi, Anami] -- they all lie within the temple of your body." - Padavali of Maharshi Mehi

"On finding the central point within, at the Third Eye Center, pursue the path ahead. Opening the portal of the sphere of Light with the yoga of vision, immediately enter the very sphere of Light." - Maharshi Mehi

"One who crosses this layer of darkness through a special kind of meditation sees the inner Light within oneself. This inner Light is called Aatma-Aalok (Light of the Self) or Brahma-Prakash (Divine Light). On achieving this, the Third Eye opens completely. While gazing into the darkness that one sees with eyes closed, one should mentally repeat the guru-instructed mantra [simran]." (Swami Bhagirath Baba)

Look at God within yourself, how "God is Light." For his Nature is a glorious, many-splendored Light. He manifests the Light of his Nature to those who love Him in all the worlds. - John of Dalyatha (Syriac Mystic)

"O Nama, the Lord will make the pupil of your eye His home, and your eye will expand to contain the entire universe." (Sant Namdev)

"The Master has revealed to me the secret, dear friend.

Of a region where exist neither Void, nor breath, nor the Vedas;

Neither the five elements, nor mind, nor body are there;

Nor karmas, nor suffering;

There is no birth in that region, nor is there any death;

There, exist no bondage, no fetters, no chains.

The soul has penetrated into the peak, O friend,

And pierced, like a shaft, a hole in the sky.

Therein she beheld sights wondrous, beyond comprehension."

-- Param Sant Tulsi Sahib of Hathras
