The Gnostic Demiurge vs. The God of Love (KAL Mat vs. Dayal Mat) - Anurag Sagar Studies - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast

Used as the image for this satsang podcast, image credit, an illustration from, The Anurag Sagar. Notice the souls depicted as being held captive inside the Palace of Kal, the lord of time and illusion (called "the Demiurge" by the Gnostics). The Satguru does battle with Kal to free the souls. The genuine Living Teacher, the Sant Satguru, guides his or her students through this internal struggle with the mind or ego (the agent of Kal in the matrix of mind), this labyrinth of self-sabotaging, limited belief-systems of the negative power (Kal Mat: the teachings of Kal), so that the initiates may experience Divine Love, Light and Sound within and follow the Path back to God (Dayal, the Merciful One), the Ocean of Love.

Stages of Sant Mat, by Baba Ram Singh

In Sant Mat, the first stage is that of Gurubhakti. Swami Ji Maharaj has said, “The first life is that of Gurubhakti. The second is of Naam. And the third is of salvation, Mukti Pad. And the fourth is Nij Dham, or our True Home."

So, first stage is that of Gurubhakti. And even if it takes us a full lifetime to do the Gurubhakti — that is, to manifest the Radiant Form of the Master within — then it is nothing. Because the Master-Guru, is connected inside with God Almighty.

God Almighty is Someone Whom we cannot fathom, Whom we cannot hear, or Whom we cannot see. And He is beyond description. So, Guru is the One Who is connected to that God Almighty. Because the Guru knows this world, He knows what is happening here, and He is also connected to God Almighty. So, He is aware of everything. And therefore, it is very important for us to take His help.

So, what then is Gurubhakti? Gurubhakti — the Masters say we should do three things. And the first is Satsang. That is, listen to the Master, listen to what He has to say, and He says that to awaken us. Second is to do the Bhajan Simran. And third, if we get the opportunity, then we should do seva. So, the Masters have told us to do these three things in the Kali Yuga.

By doing these three things, we get the pleasure of the Master. We are able to please the Master. And when we are able to please the Master and get His Grace, then we are able to manifest the Radiant Form of the Master within.

So, once we have manifested the Master, then the steamer — the steamship on which we have to go back to God Almighty – that starts.

Today also, we have the ship — which is the Naam — which is the Holy Sound Current and the Light. So, that ship is ready even today. But we have not manifested the captain of that ship. And once we do that, once we manifest the Radiant Form of the Master, then we will be able to board on that ship and go back to God Almighty.

So, He is aware of all of the planes within and He is aware of the Lords of all of these planes. So, when He takes us within, He gets us to meet the Lords of all of the planes, and He gradually takes the soul back to God Almighty, traveling through all the planes.

So, to please the Master, we have to listen to Satsang every day. We have to do our Bhajan Simran. And if possible, we have to do seva. By doing these things, we are able to get the pleasure of the Master and His Grace is upon us.

Masters also say, “If you are not able to do any other seva, you should do your Bhajan Simran.” And by doing this, we get the pleasure of the Master and His Grace.

So, when we do our Bhajan Simran, that is like doing seva of the Master. So, the Master considers that as a seva that you are doing for Him – though, in reality, that Bhajan Simran, we are doing for our own benefit. But the Master is so graceful that He considers that as a seva done to Him. And then, when we do this regularly, He also extends His Grace upon us.

So, when we do our Bhajan Simran — we do more and more of the Bhajan Simran every day — then we will definitely get successful on this Path. And, one day, we will all get the Grace of the Master, and we will be able to get inwardly focused.

---

The time is good and we should make the most of it. So, let us close our eyes and get connected to Bhajan Simran.

"Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth." (says Rumi) "You have ignored the Living One who is in your presence and you have spoken only of the dead." "Look to the Living One while you are alive, otherwise, you might die and seek to see him and will be unable to find him." "Whoever drinks from my mouth will become like me. I myself shall become that person, and the Hidden Things will be revealed to that one." "I will give to you what eye has not seen, what ear has not heard, what hand has not touched, and what has not occurred to the mind of man." (selections from the Gospel of Thomas) "It is the mercy of my Satguru that has made me to know the Unknown. I have learned from Him how to walk without feet, to see without eyes, to hear without ears, to drink without mouth, to fly without wings." (Kabir)

Today I begin with some key verses from the Gospel of Thomas (making use of both Greek and Coptic translations) on the Need for a Living Master (a Living One), and not just solely relying upon old writings from the past focused on those who are no longer with us. With old writings of saints, mystics and scriptures, as wonderful as they might be, the danger and likelihood is we remain stuck, trapped in our cultural bias, blind spots and filters never seeing beyond the horizons of our limited understanding tethered to past learning only. If we have contact with a living teacher (a Living One) and spiritual community, we can have our beliefs challenged, our horizons expanded, spiritual breakthroughs, find out the vitally important things we've been missing out on as we interface with an ancient wisdom tradition communicating to us an Initiation into the Mysteries of the Kingdom of the Heavens, introducing to us the complete methods of spiritual practice we need to travel upon this Path of the Masters. We can experience for ourselves our own Living Gnosis Now, a 21st century version of the spiritual path described in the Gospel of Thomas, Nag Hammadi Library, Adi Granth and countless other sacred texts of the ages. "Masters come here to give Their Satsang and awaken the soul and then They initiate the soul and help the soul go back to God Almighty. So, that is how They work towards the salvation of the soul. All other worldly people do things to tie themselves and entangle themselves into this world again. Therefore, we should have love and affection for the Master and we should follow His Teachings of doing our meditations on a daily basis. We should have compassion on ourselves and this is work that is given to us to do. It is not going to be done by anybody else." (Baba Ram Singh, from a recent spiritual discourse)

Gnostic Christian Psalms Discovered! The Book of the Odes + How the Odes Became a Lost Book of the Bible - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast

It's as-if those who composed the Gospel of John decided to create a hymnbook. This is about the little-known discovery of a collection of early Christian psalms called, The Book of the Odes, written in Syriac-Aramaic, described by scholars as "some of the most beautiful songs of peace and joy that the world possesses." The Odes got mislabeled, misfiled, misunderstood, misplaced somewhere along the way becoming one of those Lost Books of the Bible. Time to explore this would-be book of New Testament psalms and that is finally gaining long overdue recognition and popularity in the 21st Century. This is one of two podcasts I've devoted to this inspiring collection of mystic-poems and music -- The Odes of Solomon -- once viewed as a sacred text by Jewish Christians, Syriac Eastern Christianity, various Gnostic movements -- it's quoted in Pistis Sophia -- and other early Christian writings.
