The Radhasoami Teachings of Baba Faqir Chand: Spirituality and Meditation -- Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast

"I am a bubble of Super-most consciousness. That is what my realization is. This is what I have gained. Now what I feel is that there is One, Infinite, Super-most Element. From IT, when it moves, Sound and Light come out and from that Light and Sound this creation takes place. Cosmic rays and many other types of rays come out of this Light and Sound and all this gross matter is made. So it is the Will of that Supreme Power. Everything is oozing out of IT and is merging back in IT." (Baba Faqir Chand)

Below is the Message of J.L. Chaudhari of the Radhasoami Faith (in the spiritual lineage of Baba Faqir Chand and Yogani Mataji)

"The real message of man’s life is 'Be Man'. The question is how to follow this principle and what should we do to adopt this principle and formula for finding a way to God which is nothing but salvation.

"The only way is to surrender oneself in the Lotus feet of Spiritual Master. After this surrender the disciple and Master become one because a true surrender makes a man free from the bondage of senses, dilution, affection, etc, etc. So far we are under the control of worldly desires the surrender is not possible. So the first step is to be free from worldly desires. But that does not mean that the needs for worldly living should not be fulfilled. In fact needs should be fulfilled and not the desires. If we have taken birth as a human being some food (energy) is necessary for the body to work, but it is not necessary that we always aspire for multi-course meals. It is necessary to put on some cloths to cover the body but not necessary that silk linen is put on. It is necessary that there is a shelter for living but not necessary that a marble fitted house is with us.

"As a human being we have to survive in this world without caring for ourselves much, without looking to the ills of others, rather looking towards ills of ourselves, purifying ourselves first, and then do something for the purification of others. This is the living of a 'lotus' in a pond and that is why the Goddess Saraswati, the Goddess of knowledge, wisdom and intellect, sits on the Lotus. The Lotus flower blossoms in muddy pond, but anyone looking at the flower exclaims, 'Wow! How beautiful the flower is!' The whole world is a muddy pond and we have to survive in the midst of mud like a lotus flower which does not care for mud, but it blossoms for the pleasure and happiness of others. Every morning with the sunrise, the lotus blossoms. This is what we should also follow. The divine power and light emanated by the Spiritual Master makes us to blossom like the lotus flower provided we have full trust and faith in our spiritual Master.

"Sant Mat does not look at the race, the cast, the sect or any other identification for a person. Rather, it looks into the true sense of service, sacrifice, surrender, devotion, determination, trust, belief of person towards the Master and those who have these characteristics they may be belonging to any cast, race, country, direction or of any identification can join this Yoga, but for that a true spiritual Master is a must. I don’t know whether you have adopted some spiritual Master or your are under the shelter of someone as a spiritual Master. If so, please do surrender yourself to him or her for all what you desire to attain and achieve.

"The spiritual Master is not the body rather it is the Divine Light, the Divine Sound, and your own Wisdom, your own Conscious, and your own Perception which is Selfless and without any expectation from any one on this earth.

Radhasoami,
James Bean

Just Uproot the Attention from Here and Plant it There - Kirpal Singh

"So all true masters say that realizing God is a simple matter -- What is there to realizing the Lord? Just uproot the attention from here and plant it there. It is simply a matter of withdrawing and gathering together the scattered attention. The whole thing depends upon your attention, or surat as it is called, which is the outward expression of your soul. Wherever you keep it engaged or attached, those very thoughts will always be reverberating within you.

"We have to make the best use of things of course, but we are not to become attached to them. If we can only attach our soul to something higher within us, we would be alright. But, if our attention is diverted through the outgoing faculties so much so that it becomes identified with the outer things, what is the result? You cannot withdraw your attention from them.

"It is a question of the attention or surat, whether you keep it engaged to the outside things or invert and attach it to your Overself."

-- The Teachings of Kirpal Singh, The Complete Set of Five Books Combined in One Volume

"The Master-Power overhead is always aware of His children’s needs and yearnings, and He acts in their best interests." (THE TEACHINGS OF KIRPAL SINGH, The Complete Set of Five Books Combined in One Volume)

"Hazur [Baba Sawan Singh] one day told Seth Vasdev, whose car is always at Hazur's disposal, that he should read Kabir Sahib's Anurag Sagar (The Ocean of Intense Love). Hazur said that without studying it, one cannot fully understand the difference between Kal (the negative power) and Dayal Mat (the Path of the true and Merciful God), nor can one fully grasp the teachings of Sant Mat." (Rai Sahib Munshi Ram quoted in the Introduction to, The Ocean of Love: The Anurag Sagar of Kabir, English translation, published by Sant Bani Ashram)

"First of all I salute the Satguru, Who showed me the Inconceivable God -- Who, lighting the lamp of the Master's Knowledge and opening the veil, made me have His darshan [vision]... Only the connoisseur, who will test the Shabda [Word] and listen to the teachings with full attention and within whom these teachings will dwell, only he will understand this. He within whom the Sun of Knowledge will manifest and remove the darkness of attachment -- only he will understand this. I am telling you this Anurag Sagar (Ocean of Love) -- only rare saints will understand... As long as the soul remains in the body, 0 brother, practice the Path of Shabda... The path of the Essential Shabda is subtle, easy and perfect; but only the brave can follow it... The Union of Surat [Soul] and Shabda -- when one gets Shabda, he reaches the realm of the saints. It is the play of the drop and the Ocean. What else can one say? After meeting the Satguru, one understands the play of Shabda and Surat. It is the union of the drop and the Ocean. What else can one say? Giving up the qualities of mind, one should follow the Path of the Master. Such a soul goes to Sat Lok and derives Happiness from the Ocean of Happiness... He who gets the Shabda becomes free of the dirt of birth after birth. The jiva [Soul] who gets the Naam and Simran goes to Sat Lok. The soul who accepts the Shabda of the Master with firmness becomes as valuable as nectar. He goes back to his home with the strength of Sat Naam and his soul sings in peace and happiness." (selections from, The Anurag Sagar)

The Anurag Sagar, Guru Kabir's Ocean of Love, is one of many sacred texts composed and used by the Dharamdasi branch of Kabir Panth, the Sant Dharam Das line of Masters (the People of the Anurag Sagar). The Anurag Sagar is but one of many volumes in a larger collection known as the Kabir Sagar (Ocean of Kabir) consisting of many scriptures with the same question and answer format of dialogues (catechism) between Kabir (the Master) and Sant Dharam Das (the disciple). The Anurag Sagar is an essential text of Sant Mat, the Path of the Masters in the guru lineage of Sant Dharam Das, in the satsangs of Sant Dariya Sahib of Bihar and Sant Tulsi Sahib of Hathras. It remains popular with Radhasoami's as it was greatly valued by Soamiji Maharaj of Agra, Hazur Baba Sawan Singh, and is still considered essential reading by their spiritual successors up to the present time.

God is the Ocean of Love.

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

James Bean

Spiritual Awakening Radio (and Sant Mat Satsang Podcasts) with James Bean, heard on various community, public radio stations and the web, explores the world of spirituality, comparative religion, world scriptures and other books, East and West, God, meditation, out of body or near death experiences (inner space), the vegan diet and other ahimsa ethics -- education for a more peaceful planet.

The Human Body is the True Temple -- This Life is a Golden Opportunity for the Liberation of the Soul -- It Is Only A Very Few Fortunate Ones Who Get The Opportunity To Do Simran And Do Meditation, by Baba Ram Singh

"It is with the good karmas of tens of millions of years and lives that one gets a human life. And it is with the Grace of God Almighty that we get the company of the Saints and are able to do meditation. This body has been given by God Almighty and it is the only body where one can transcend from a human being to God Almighty Himself. It is not only flesh and blood, but it is a temple, which has been created by God Almighty. In this body, God Almighty has kept sixteen planes and He has kept the Path to go back to God Almighty within this body itself. If someone has got God Almighty, it is only within this six-foot temple. And, even in the future, if someone is going to go and meet God Almighty, it will be through this medium only. After we go through these 8.4 million life forms, God Almighty graces us with the small time-frame that we get in this human body. And He gives this so that we take this opportunity and get out of this cycle and go back and meet God Almighty." (Baba Ram Singh)

Rise Above Body-Consciousness in Meditation and See For Yourself

"How to know oneself? It is a matter not of the level of feelings or emotions or drawing inferences. It is purely a subject of self-analysis, knowing oneself and knowing God. Higher consciousness can only be experienced or risen into, I would say, if our own consciousness is first all devoid of all outer coverings. So it is a matter of pure self-analysis, how to rise above body-consciousness." (Sant Kirpal Singh)

"When we sit for our meditation, we do Simran and we do Dhyan, or we contemplate on the Form of the Master. When we do that, our karmas keep getting redeemed and, as our karmas are redeemed, our mind becomes more sublime. And, once the mind becomes sublime, it becomes still and we are able to focus at the Eye Center. When we do this regularly, one day, the attention of the soul gets focused at the Eye Center and we are able to leave this body. There, the Master Who has given you initiation is waiting for you there and you will get to meet Him there." (Baba Ram Singh)

"Saints come into this world and They enlighten us. They remind us of our True Home of God Almighty -- our True Father. They encourage us to go back. And They motivate us to go back. So, we are indeed fortunate to get this human body and get this life. And it is with the Grace of God Almighty that we have the company of the Masters. Now, we should make the most of that and follow the Teachings of the Masters and make the efforts to go back to our True Home." (Baba Ram Singh)

---

"Morning time is ideal for meditation. But anytime is good if we are sitting for meditation. So, the time is good. It is quiet and we should make the most of this and sit for meditation." (Baba Ram Singh)

---

“Prays Nanak, But for Society of the Saints, the whole world is false.” (Guru Nanak, Adi Granth)

“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, Adi Granth)

“From the Guru is all Wisdom and one Dwells on the Quintessence (of the Real).
From the Guru one finds one’s Home, and the Lord’s Door, and the treasure-fuls of Worship.
Through the Guru, one Dwells upon the Lord’s Name, and (Knowing its Essence) Reflects upon it.
Through the Guru is the Devotee dedicated to the Lord’s Praise, and within him is Enshrined the Infinite Word.
Through the Guru is all Bliss: one comes not to Sorrow (through the Guru),
Through the Guru one stills one’s Ego, and one’s Mind becomes Pure.
Meeting the True Guru, one loses one’s self, and knows (the Reality of) the three worlds.
And one Sees the Lord’s Pure Light pervade all, and his Light Merges in God’s Light.
When the Perfect Guru instructs, one’s Mind becomes Sublime,
And from within, one is Cooled and Comforted: yea, through the Lord’s Name, one gathers Bliss.”
(Asa M. 3. Ashtapadis, Kafi, Gopal Singh translation, Volume Two, Adi Granth)

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

The Sound Current Meditation, Shabd Naam According to the Guru Granth

"(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)

"Seated in my higher mind, I live in communion with God and within me rings ever the Unstruck Music (of Bliss)." (Sri Rag Var, Shloka M. 3)

"He, the Lord, is immersed in the Unstruck Melody of the Word." (Asa, M. 1)

"He, our God, is the King of the whole Universe. And there (in His Presence) rings the Unstruck Melody (of Bliss)." (Sorath M. 5, Chaupadas)

"The Lord’s Name has no form, no sigh, and it becomes manifest through the Immaculate God as the Unstruck Melody." (Asa M. 1)

We Should Not Look At Meditation As A Burden: "Just as it is important to feed our body, every day we eat food, it is equally important to do Bhajan* Simran*, which is the food of the soul." (Baba Ram Singh Ji)

When The Simran Increases, Our Love And Attention Automatically Gets Focused Within

"BABA JI USED TO ALWAYS SAY in His Satsang* that we should not look at Bhajan Simran as a burden. We should do it with love and affection. Without love and affection, it is not possible to do Bhajan, because our mind is outwardly bound to all outside attachments and desires. So, when we sit for meditation and it is not with love and affection, then it is a very dry kind of Bhajan and we don't get the satisfaction from that Bhajan.

"Mahatmas say that there is only one love in us. That love, we have to see where that should be directed. So, if that is directed at the Feet of the Master, then we will get success in Bhajan. So, that one love, which we have, it is very easy to direct it outside, because we are attached outside. Our desires, our attachments, are all outside. So, the love for those things and our love, which is there, again gets connected in that direction. So, it becomes difficult when we sit for Bhajan. We are unable to get that love and affection at the Feet of the Master.

"But, when we sit for meditation, if we do our Simran and we focus on our Simran then, as the Simran keeps increasing and progressing, our love and attention automatically start getting focused within and our love and affection goes to the Feet of the Master. And, someday when we get the taste of Naam* within, then the mind completely changes within and starts focusing our love and attention within. And then we are able to sit for longer time in meditations.

"It is difficult to bring about a transformation within ourselves unless we sit for meditation for longer hours. So, it is Simran, which enables us to do that. By doing Simran, we are able to, gradually, start sitting for longer hours and focusing within. And then, once we are able to do it lovingly and with affection then, gradually, our attention starts getting focused at the back of the Eye Center and we go and see the Radiant Form of the Master within.

"Currently, our mind is repeating all our outside thoughts. Everything that we are attached with outside keeps getting repeated and the mind is constantly in that repetition. So, if we start repeating the Naam given by the Master then, gradually, the mind will shift, and that repetition will be able to cut out the outside repetition.

"For this, it is equally important to listen to Satsang every day. If we listen to Satsang once in fifteen days or a month, then we will not be able to bring about that change or transformation. So, when we sit for Satsang at our homes, we can listen to those Satsangs in the DVDs. But, we should listen to that with complete focus and attention and with full love and affection, and leave all our other outside things that we are doing for that time, during which we sit for Satsang. If we sit like that, then it is as good as sitting in the presence of the Master. So, we should listen to Satsang every day. We should do our Bhajan also every day. And, whenever we have some free time when the mind is idle, we should do our Simran during the rest of the day. Now, by doing that, we will definitely start getting interested in the Path within and we will start getting our success on the Path.

"Just as it is important to feed our body, every day we eat food, it is equally important to do Bhajan Simran, which is the food of the soul. By doing that, the soul will become stronger and the mind will become weaker."

(Meditation Talk 12 Aug 2016 – Morning, Discourses of Baba Ram Singh, Volume IV)

• Glossary of Spiritual Terms

Simran: Repetition of names or thoughts; in Sant Mat, the simran of worldly thoughts is controlled through the Simran of the Five Charged Names, repeated by an initiate throughout the day and when sitting for meditation as a means of collecting the thought currents at the Third Eye Center; also used as a password of sorts to higher planes and protection from Negative Power influences

Bhajan: Devotional practice of listening to the inner Sound Current; devotional song written by a Saint

Satsang: Lit. “In Association with Truth”; to be in the company of the Truth of a Living Master; typically, outwardly, through hearing the Master's discourses and receiving His Darshan; also, in the inner context, meaning to be absorbed in the inner Sound Current of Truth

Naam: Sound Current, synonymous with Shabd, Dhun, Logos, etc, lit. “Name”; also, the mantra or words given to initiates during Initiation or Naam Daan

Naam Daan: Initiation into Surat Shabd Yoga by a Living Master, connecting the soul with the Inner Sound Current, the power of Naam, or Shabd
