Spiritual Awakening Radio With James Bean

Breaking Free from Illusion is True Spirituality

Will the soul remain stuck in the programming that has been forced upon it after birth during this life or will it awaken and break free, choosing a higher path of spirituality this time through, during this incarnation? We get to decide. Today during this Sant Mat Satsang Podcast we explore the wisdom of the Canonical Prayerbook of the Mandaean Gnostics, Baal Shem Tov of Kabbalah, the Sikh Scriptures (Adi Granth), the Earth as a Garden of Souls by Julian P. Johnson, Rumi, Kirpal Singh, Yeshua from the Gospel of Matthew, Buddha, Kabir, Sant Tukarama, Sant Ramdas of Maharashtra, There is No Spirituality Without Spirit from the Dayalpuri Radhasoami Spiritual Seekers Guide, the Sar Bachan Radhawami Poetry of Swami Ji Maharaj, the Padavali of Maharshi Mehi Paramhans, the Ethical Precepts of Sant Mat, the Eight Limbs of Yoga, a Satsang Discourse by Baba Ram Singh on awakening from illusion, delusion and maya, followed by Bhajans (Mystic Poetry) of Baba Somanath, and we conclude with two prayers to the Ocean of Love. (Sat Purush Anami Radhasoami, the Lord of the Soul)

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.

Buddha: "With the Divine Eye, which is purified and surpasses the human, a bhikkhu surveys a thousand worlds. Just as a man with good sight when he has ascended to the upper palace chamber, might survey a thousand wheel-rims, so too, with the Divine Eye, which is purified and surpasses the human, a bhikkhu surveys a thousand worlds."

Buddha: "I have proclaimed to my disciples the way whereby with the Divine Ear element, which is purified and surpasses the human, they hear both kinds of sounds, the divine and the human, those that are far as well as near. Just as a vigorous trumpeter might make himself heard without difficulty in the four quarters; so too, I have proclaimed to my disciples the way whereby with the Divine Ear element....far as well as near. And thereby many disciples of mine abide having reached the consummation and Perfection of Direct Knowledge." (The Middle Length Discourses of the Buddha -- A Translation of the Majjhima Nikaya, Teachings of the Buddha, translated by Bhakkhu Nanamoli and Bhikkhu Bodhi, Wisdom Publications)
