The return of Christ to the world in flesh and bone! An illusion, but He is accessible at any time to everyone .
“The Master is in you, closer to you than anything else and He watches over you.
Whenever your attention is directed to the third eye, it hears your repetition and responds to you. But His answer, you do not hear it because your attention is unstable and is still dispersed to the outside.
I wish you to rise to Him and see Him face to face within you. “
– The great Master Sawan Singh –
In all my texts, I always make it a point to tell you about A Spiritual Master, a Guide, or a Friend you need to find in order to help you set yourself free from the bondage of this world.
How to achieve that?
Like a child who asks to his father or mother to tell him a story before sleeping. I propose a story, not to make you fall asleep, but to wake you up from a deep sleep in which you have been immersed for too long thus, preventing you to enjoy the real joys, the true wealth and the real life.
I have been shaking you up for so long, now that I think you are kind of awake,
Establish your base at the third eye and have the vision of the inner master. Always listen to the voice of the Lord. The verb that reverberates night and day, reduce yourself with the cravings of your mind and melt into it. This form of the master is of unparalleled beauty, it illuminates the interior like the radiant light of the sun. Like a black bee on a lotus in full bloom, reveling the love of the master. Sad, are the hearts that have not received the light of Master’s knowledge, O friend! They have not met a real master; they are constantly in the labyrinth of creation. As for me, I found a true Master and I sacrificed myself in a humble adoration. Like a moon bird lost watching the moon, I lose myself in the contemplation of its sublime form.
The true master is the personified Verb, his house is in the realms beyond space. Since your real form is your soul, follow him in the light track. The shape of the master is in your eyes if you only open your inner vision! The Name of the Master resonated in your ears if you only open your inner ears.
if only you could hear him calling you from heaven!
This is the essence of the path, says Radha Soami. Lucky souls who will accept him as they will cross the ocean of life.
Here is something to help you.
I invite you to join Murshid and Jiva in a cosmic tale.
Become little children.
From the book: From self to Shabd.
Of Rhada Soami Satsang Beas
A small lexicon of Sanskrit words that you often encounter in this tale:
Shabd = Name, Word or Logos. Simran = Repetition of the Name that the Master will bestow on you at the time of initiation.
Bahjan = Listening to the inner sounds.
Another Cosmic Tale from Café Maya
A Master and Disciple relationship.
Again, let us join Murshid and Jiva at Café Maya.
They found a table and got their drinks. Murshid took a sip of his chai and said,
“Jiva, you don’t seem yourself to day. What’s troubling you?”
“Murshid,” said Jiva, “I’ve been having troubling thoughts of lust and greed.”
“How so, Jiva?”
“I think of money and sex all the time and I was wondering if the remedy to solve this fixation was to exchange my lustful and greedy thoughts for opposite virtuous thoughts.”
“Tell me, Jiva, why do you want to give your attention to any thoughts at all? Why not give up thoughts altogether? In that way, you won’t be bothered with bad thoughts, good thoughts, or any thoughts at all. All thoughts keep you away from the eye centre.”
“But, Murshid, it’s very difficult to keep the mind at the seat of consciousness. What can I do?”
“Well, Jiva, do Simran or become receptive to any inner sound you hear, not as repression but as a concentration of your mind on something better and more pleasurable.”
“So, I should repress my lustful, greedy thoughts?”
“No, Jiva. That’s not what I meant. Repression doesn’t solve the problem. Repression’s like putting a poisonous snake in a basket. You don’t solve the problem. When the snake climbs out of the basket it’ll still bite you.”
“Then, should I indulge my desires?”
“Indulging in them would be like trying to put out a fire with gasoline. It’ll only make your desires stronger.’’
Both repression and indulgence keep your attention in the world. Both extremes validate and strengthen the illusion you are living in. If you have an outdated phone and someone offers you a new one that has the latest technology, you’d have no problem letting the old one go, would you? Just like that, the only way you can transcend worldly pleasures is to find something that gives you more pleasure. You need to taste something better. Simran and bhajan help to keep your attention at the seat of consciousness where you’ll find more happiness than anything that will come from worldly pleasures. “
‘’OK, Murshid, I get it. So, when thoughts of greed or lust come, I exchange them for Simran or for becoming receptive to the sound, is that it?”
“Yes, and not only when you have thoughts about this or that. As much as you can, exchange your thought pattern for Simran. Develop the mental habit of doing Simran or becoming receptive to the sound. Have Simran for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Make it a mental habit Make it a part of you.”
“OK, I’ll try. But, Murshid, you were going to tell me a story or two about Maharaj Ji. I enjoy those and they always teach me something useful.”
“You’re right. Did I tell you about the time when Maharaj Ji was asked to comment on the possibility of the end of the world being near and he answered, “The Sooner the better! Haven’t we seen enough of this world?”
“Yes, Murshid, you did. But you were going to tell me something about disciples not being able to see their guru.
“Oh, yes, thanks for reminding me. One time when Maharaj Ji was answering questions, the floor lamp by his side started to topple over onto him…”
“What did Maharaj Ji do?”
“He didn’t do a thing. He just looked at the lamp as if it was falling down in slow motion. When it was about to hit him, the hand of a sevadar appeared out of nowhere, and with a firm grip, got hold of the lamp and stopped it right before it hit Maharaj Ji. Everybody in the audience breathed a sigh of relief. Maharaj Ji seemed amused at the whole thing. Immediately a concerned disciple came to the microphone and said, ‘Maharaj Ji, we can’t let this happen again. “Maharaj Ji said, ‘We can’t?’
“No, Maharaj Ji, the lamp almost hit you. We should fasten the lamp so that it’s secure but also illuminates your face so we can all see you clearly. “Maharaj Ji replied, ‘You’re most welcome to try to do whatever you want with the lighting. Anyway, they can’t see me.”
