Spiritual Awakening Radio With James Bean

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.

The Unpublished Letters of Kirpal Singh on Meditation Practice

Today I begin with a reading from the mystic verses of Sat Saheb, the initiating spiritual master of Sant Dariya Sahib. Sat Saheb was one of the earlier Sant Satgurus of the Sant Mat guru lineage living a couple of generations prior to the time of Sant Tulsi Sahib of Hathras. His mystic poetry is quite beautiful and composed in the style of the Anurag Sagar and other scriptures of the earlier Kabir-Sant Dharam Das line of masters. Then I share some letters from Sant Kirpal Singh on meditation practice. Those are quite wonderful, and helpful for the satsangi seeking to improve the quality of their meditation experience. Then there's a short discourse from Baba Somanath about becoming the "form of Truth" by focusing upon the teachings of the masters. In conclusion, two satsang discourses by Sant Ram Singh: having focused attention during simran practice that purifies the mind, and, about becoming a gurumukh following the instructions and guidance of the masters instead of being held captive by the limited thoughts of the mind, thus remaining a disciple controlled by the dictates of the mind, a manmukh. "Follow Their Teachings, overcome sorrow, and not only that, you will get the joy of going within. And you will also achieve the purpose for which you have been given this life." (Baba Ram Singh)

Spiritual Guidance from the Great Master Hazur Baba Sawan Singh

"The goal is to catch and rise up on the Sound Current to our Eternal Home. The Saints have only one message to give and that they give in the manner that suits the times. Their message is: "Soul! Thou has forgotten thy Source. That Source is Sach Khand. The Sound Current within you is the way to it, and we guide you to That." (Hazur Baba Sawan Singh Ji)

Today, the wisdom of the Great Master Hazur Baba Sawan Singh covering several major subjects central to the spiritual journey of the soul back to God: prayer to, and faith in, the Supreme Being Radhaswami (The Lord of the Soul, also spelled Radhasoami); Each Soul is a Drop from the Ocean of God, a Soul-Drop from the Ocean of Love; A Discourse on the Spheres of Kal, the Demiurge, Ruler of the Lower Planes of Time, Samsara, Impermanence and Illusion, and the Means of Salvation, of the Liberation of the Soul Through the Word, also Known as the Logos, the Shabda, The Sound Current; Why Does Sant Mat Follow Vegetarian Ethics? The Fleshless Diet of Those Whose Goal is God-Consciousness, to... in Spirit... Rise above the Flesh, to Rise Above Body-Consciousness and Make Heavenly Ascents Upwards via the Third Eye Center; The Way of the Sound Current: Our Duty to Follow the Sound Current Back to Sach Khand During Meditation Practice (Surat Shabd Yoga); Hazur Baba Sawan Singh on Our Spiritual Mission During This Life to Find the Pearl of the Soul and the Soul's Natural Habitat: Sach Khand, the Sphere of the Soul, and Ascend Back to that Heavenly Spiritual Realm Again Through The Hymn of the Pearl, The Audible Life Stream, The Holy Stream of Sound, also called The Sound Current, the True Name or Naam of God. (राधास्वामी)

Other texts quoted during today's satsang podcast include: the Gnostic Parable known as the apocryphal Hymn of the Pearl, The Hymn of the Soul, embedded in The Acts of Saint Thomas in India, the 2023 edition of the Sant Mat Glossary, Rumi, Kirpal Singh, Baba Devi Sahab of Hathras and Moradabad, and a saying of Jesus from an unknown Coptic language gospel fragment discovered in Egypt: "Now therefore have faith in the love of My Father."

The Living Master With A Godward Focus

Question: Dear Babaji, the Satsang, Darshan, and Prashad of the Masters reduce the burden of the karmas of the initiates of the living Master. So, how about the disciples of the Masters Who are no longer in the physical body?

Babaji (Baba Ram Singh): For those whose Master has left the body, they can sit with devotion and attend to Satsang and do their Bhajan Simran with the same dedication and love and affection for their Master and they will get the same effect — like any other initiate who is getting it from a living Master. So, when anyone goes to take Darshan of a Master, of a Saint, whether he has been initiated by that Saint or initiated by some other Saint Who is no longer in the body, the Saint gives the blessings to everyone equally. So, everyone benefits from the Satsang and Darshan and the Prashad given by a Master, irrespective of whether he is an initiate of that Master or he is an initiate of any other Master...

Guru guru mein bedh hai,
Guru guru mein bhaav,
Guru guru mein bedh hai,
Guru guru mein bhaav
Soyee guru nith bandiye,
Jo sabhadh bathave daav.

Kabir Sahib says, “There is a lot of difference between one guru and the other guru. So, you should search for a guru — a true Master — Who has the knowledge of the Shabd. And then, you follow His Teachings and go within.”

Even Somanath Baba Ji did pranayamas for fifteen years. And he had a lot of mystical powers as a result of his practice. But, there was no peace. And he looked for a true Master after that and he went about the Himalayas for nearly five to six years. And, eventually, he came to Beas where he met Sawan Singh Ji Maharaj and he got initiated by Him.

Where we have true devotion for God Almighty and we really aspire to meet Him, then God Almighty Himself creates the Path for such disciples to go and meet the true Masters.

Wherever they are people with such past impressions, God Almighty definitely creates a path for such people to meet a living Master. And Whoever are the living Masters during that time, They bring such disciples under Their fold.

So, this Path has been created by God Almighty and He sees such people with past impressions and He sends the Masters to fetch such people.

Kanfookha guru hadh ka,
Behadh ka guru aur,
Kanfookha guru hadh ka,
Behadh ka guru aur
Behad ka guru jab milai,
Tab lahai tikaana taur.

Kabir Sahib says, “There are so-called ‘gurus’. And these people just blow wind in the ear. And by blowing that wind, they say that you have got your salvation.” And that is it. That is their practice. They just do that and then they may give some mantra for repetition. But this is what these people think about salvation and getting free from this world. It is only people who have past impressions. It is only such people who go to a true Master. And there, they understand the Teachings of the true Master and then they follow the Path of that Master.

All the other disciplines — all the other gurus — are all within the realm of Kal. And all of those paths will only keep you within this realm of Kal. It is only the true Masters Who talk about going beyond the compound of Kal.

Then there are others who follow the gunas — that is, Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh — and they give the mantras or the teachings of these deities. And then, they say, “If you do their practice, then you will either go to heaven, or you will go to Vaikuntha, or Kailash where these deities are supposed to be.

So, it is only with God's Mercy and Grace that a person with past impressions is drawn to a true Master. And then he understands the Teachings of the true Master and he follows the Path.
