Nothing Without Love

Nothing Without Love

"All Sants, and Radhasoami Dayal in particular, have, in their bani [hymns, mystic poetry], laid great emphasis upon in gendering love. The idea is that the task can be accomplished quickly and easily with the help of love. Mere renunciation cannot afford so much advantage, nor can mere comprehension of the Faith confer such a benefit. All activities in the world are going on because of love and desire. If one does not have any feeling of love or he has no interest in the matter, he can do nothing. For the real spiritual benefit of their Jiva [soul], it, therefore, behoves all Jivas [souls] to develop true love for the true Supreme Being."

We Have Forgotten About Our Original Abode, by Baba Faqir Chand

We Have Forgotten About Our Original Abode

"'The Source of all, now, I say O Swami, 

is Unutterable, Infinite, Unfathomable,

Unnamed [Nameless, Anami].'

(Soamiji Maharaj, Sar Bachan)

"You, me and all have come from There. But, after coming into this world, we have forgotten about our Original Abode and we are completely engrossed in this world. Even though we face all sorts of difficulties, miseries and tortures, this world appears to be very attractive to us. Our desires for wealth, honour, fame and prosperity amidst all sorts of griefs and miseries continue to increase without any end. The Saints come in this world only for those who have no  attachment with this world and with the creations of their own mind. The teachings of the Saints are only for those who understand that they are here for a specific period and not forever. Guru Nanak Sahib has named the Supreme Centre of Energy or the Lord of this world as 'AKAL PURUSH' [Timeless Supreme Being]."
