    cross to the other shore    ." -- Dadu}

    Words of Light and Love from Various Masters of the East
     
    Very exalted is the status of the Sat Guru and very sublime his religion. He has shown the Inaccessible Region. The soul ascends to the gateway of Sat Lok and witnesses a spectacle which is beyond the reach and comprehension of ascetics. Every day she visits the region of Shyam Set, i. e., the Third Eye Center. She sees the path in the company of her friends (the senses of perception) and, ascending above, gets a close view of the region. She is dazed on seeing the refulgence of the Beloved. Her attention remains riveted on Him, and she is oblivious of her body and mind. All the barriers on the way to the Beloved are removed. She quickly ascends one mansion after another. She rids herself of all her troubles by being baptised at the Ghat (bathing place) of Triveni. Says Tulsi, from the time she became acquainted with the Beloved she, enjoying the bliss of mansions after mansions, reaches her Beloved Lord.
    -- Param Sant Tulsi Sahib
     
    I have found a Sea of Love, an inexhaustible flood;
    I have opened a treasure of spiritual knowledge,
    it diffuses the lustre of a million suns,
    arisen in thy worshipper's souls.
    -- Sant Tukarama
     
    He has awaited me for countless ages.
    Yet I did not know the bliss that was
         so near to me, for my love was not
         yet awake.
    But now, my Lover has made known
         to me the meaning of the note that
         struck my ear:
    Now, my good fortune is come.
    Kabir says: "Behold! how great is
         my good fortune! I have received
         the unending caress of my Beloved!"
    -- Guru Kabir
     
    Let them try to imprison Him in temple, mosque and church!
    The seeing eye finds the Beloved's signs in every mote.
     
    Very near your heart are seekers of your Vision;
    Those who look at the surface are exiled from
    the Beloved's Light.
    What can I say of the grace He showers on me within?
    Darshan, the moment I close my eyes, the Beloved's
    Light begins.
    -- Sant Darshan Singh, Love's Last Madness, Hohm Press
     
    Begin meditation with internally chanting or repeating the
    Guru-mantra-incantation (the charged words given by the Guru).
    And then try to visualize the radiant form or image of the Satguru
    in the still darkness of the inner sky (with eyes closed). Follow that
    with focusing your attention at the seat of the soul within, i.e. at the Third Eye or the Inner Eye or the Til Dwaar, by making the two
    streams of consciousness in your two eyes converge in a Point.
     
    When the two currents of consciousness meet in a Point, Divine Light appears within. Then, practice Surat Shabd Yoga (Yoga of Divine Sound) i.e., try to shift your attention to listening to the Divine Sounds or myriads of melodies (Anahad Naad) ringing inside. Listening to the Divine Sound destroys all the perversions, agitations and fickleness of the mind.
     
    Ascending beyond or transcending myriads of sounds, try to identify and tune in to the Quintessential Unstruck Melody, called "Saar Shabd"
    or "Anaahat Naad" which alone is capable of taking you and merging you into oneness
    with the Supreme Lord; this is the ultimate deliverance, emancipation, welfare, or liberation.
    -- Couplets of Swami Sant Sevi Ji Maharaj
     
    The Glittering Point between the two eyebrows [third eye center] is visible,
    Dear ones! Closing your eyelids, try to see,
    Let the two currents of Light converge at the Central Point of the eyebrows,
    Fix your gaze and cross your bodily sphere and enter the egg of the universe;
    The inner Sky, studded with Stars, looks so wonderful,
    Light, like the earthen lamp, is visible that eliminates the darkness of the closed eyes,
    The incomparable Moonlight, unique in itself is spread in all corners;
    And the Light of the young Sun also radiates beautifully,
    Surat [soul], with its spiritual vision, catches the multiple Sounds without being impaired,
    O individual souls! Catching these Sounds with Surat-like rope,
    Walk along the final abode, which is the Real Home;
    Mehi has revealed this mystery, the Quintessential One,
    One, who serves Guru without any guile, has no difficulty in reaching the Real Home.
     
    Without gazing downward, upward, leftward, rightward or backward,
    Look ahead, closing both your eyes and joining the two currents exactly in the middle of the two eyes [third eye],
    Immersing yourself in the blaze of the Shining Star and watching the scenes of the Sphere of Light,
    Fly in the inner firmament like a bird, and perching there on the Luminous Point,
    Catch the Quintessential Sound among the multiple sounds and glide like a fish,
    O mind!  Flying like the bird and swimming like the fish,
    Your mind is absorbed in its own sphere,
    Surat alone mounts on the Egg of Brahma,
    Finally, catching the Ceaseless Primal Sound, Surat [the soul] listens to it,
    The Sound of Creation enrapturing is so very intense,
    Mehi says, with the help of the Central Sound (Naad) in the lower sphere,
    Catch the Central Sounds of the higher spheres and finally grip the Quintessential One,
    Thus grasping the Sound, that is, the Quintessential One, cross this sea-like world.
    -- The Padavali of Maharishi Mehi Paramahansa Ji Maharaj
     
    It does not matter if your bhakti is imperfect.
    Perform bhakti! Radhasoami [the Lord of the Soul]
    graciously declares that you should perform bhakti
    in whichever way you can. Fear not. He will grant
    you the Treasure of Love. You will be a recipient
    of the Gift of Love.
    -- Swami Ji Maharaj, Sar Bachan Radhasoami Poetry, Vol 2
     
    I penetrated the Eye Center and perceived
    the Light within.
    Darkness has vanished,
    And the sun has burst forth
    in full splendor.
     
    So long as the soul knows not itself,
    The brilliance of the sun cannot be seen.
     
    Says Tuka, I see my true self and the Lord
    Pervade the whole creation as one effulgence.
    -- Sant Tukarama
     
    INNER EXPERIENCE - THE DOOR WITHIN
     
    Through the Eye, my vision has risen to
    Daswandwar,
    And my soul has cast off its coverings.
     
    Firmly established at the Tenth Door,
    I adore my Master's Radiant Form,
    which I recognize by His grace.
     
    The bubble of illusion has been pricked,
    The Almighty, Merciful Lord has revealed
    Himself.
     
    In the blissful state of fulfillment,
    Tuka, without hands, clings to His feet.
    -- Sant Tukarama
     
    THE SOUND CURRENT, MUSIC OF THE CREATOR
     
    Tuka is absorbed in the surging wave
    of Sound Divine;
    Its resplendence spreads through his
    innermost being.
    The Lord has made His home in me,
    The lamp of eternal Light has been
    kindled.
    The all-pervading Sound, O Tuka, is
    the Lord Himself.
    -- Sant Tukarama
     
    Such is the peculiar efficacy
    of the Path of Love and Devotion
    that if you adopt it,it will
    transport you to the Reservoir
    of Ambrosia. In the Source or
    Fountain, i.e., in Radhaswami
    Dham [the Eighth Heaven], there
    is absolutely no trace of maya
    [illusion]. There it is all love
    and love alone. It is an immense
    Reservoir of Love, having no
    beginning and no end.
    -- Swami Ji Maharaj, Sar Bachan Radhasoami Poetry, Vol I
     
    Can one be entangled in the mire of
    Illusion
    When the Name of the Lord is constantly
    on his lips?
     
    One who ceaselessly meditates on Him,
    While walking, talking, eating or sleeping,
    While engaged in worldly duties,
    The Lord is with him at all times.
     
    Repeat constantly the Name of the Lord,
    And know that devotion is indispensable
    for deliverance.
    Thus the devotee becomes the Lord
    Himself,
    And thus has the Lord become Tuka.
     
    Such is God's Name
    that it heals the disease of the world.
    Whosoever repeats the Lord's Name
    while engaged in earthly duties,
    remains ever in a blissful state of divine communion.
    One absorbed in the Lord's Name, O Tuka,
    has truly attained liberation while living.
    -- Sant Tukarama
     
    Recognize the Path to your Beloved, O travelers
    and take the route of the anguished lover in separation.
     
    Keep the Master's grace in your thoughts,
    and reflect on his pure teachings.
     
    Develop love and devotion with endearment,
    and keep the thought of the Creator always before you.
     
    Try to merge yourself into God like water in water.
     
    Fix your mind within by following the Path of the Sound Current.
     
    A yearning will arise; make then an intense and anguished call.
     
    Repeat the Name of your Beloved,
    day and night,
    again and again.
     
    With care in thought, word and deed,
    you will cross to the other shore.
    -- Sant Dadu Dayal (the Compassionate Mystic)
     
    The lover is converted into the Beloved.
    That indeed is called true love.
    Forgetting his own ego, he remains
    absorbed in the One.
    -- Sant Dadu Dayal (the Compassionate Mystic)
     
    Oh think thou deeply and deliberate;
    Without the guidance of a Master
    The way cannot ever be found.
    He will dye thee in satsang's color,
    Take thy soul to regions celestial,
    And reveal the firmament within.
    If thou desirest, to revel
    In realms spiritual within thine own self,
    None will help thee except the Saints.
    In a short moment wilt thou depart,
    And thy body be reduced to dust.
    Thy Master alone, 0 Tulsi, will show
    The entrance back to thy Home.
    -- Param Sant Tulsi Sahib
     
    Whose soul is attached to the Word,
    revels ever in cosmic flight;
    Revels ever in cosmic flight,
    and realizing the Lord,
    plays with Him.
    The mystery of the Inaccessible
    and the secret of the scriptures he unravels:
    He reaches his Home within and its Essence
    he comes to know;
    In the lotus feet of the Beloved
    he sees his true destination.
    The happily married woman
    rejoices with her Spouse every moment, O Tulsi,
    For her soul is attached to the Word,
    and revels ever in cosmic flight.
    -- Param Sant Tulsi Sahib
     
     
    From the beginning of my life
    I have been looking for your face
    but today I have seen it
     
    Today I have seen
    the charm, the beauty,
    the unfathomable grace
    of the face
    that I was looking for
     
    Today I have found you
    and those who laughed
    and scorned me yesterday
    are sorry that they were not looking
    as I did
     
    I am bewildered by the magnificence
    of your beauty
    and wish to see you
    with a hundred eyes
     
    My heart has burned with passion
    and has searched forever
    for this wondrous beauty
    that I now behold
     
    I am ashamed
    to call this love human
    and afraid of God
    to call it divine
     
    Your fragrant breath
    like the morning breeze
    has come to the stillness of the garden
    You have breathed new life into me
    I have become your sunshine
    and also your shadow
     
    My soul is screaming in ecstasy
    Every fiber of my being
    is in love with you
     
    Your effulgence
    has lit a fire in my heart
    and made radiant for me
    the earth and sky
     
    My arrow of love
    has arrived at the target
    I am in the house of mercy
    and my heart
    is a place of prayer.
    -- Rumi

    {Radhaswami Dayal ki Daya Radhaswami Sahai:
    "Grant Merciful Radhasoami Thy Grace and Protection"}
     
     
    From the Philosophy of Liberation

    87. The practice of Nadanusandhana (the Yoga of Sound) is not mere child's play. Its full practice cannot be exercised by one who lacks Yama and Niyama (virtues and moral rectitude). See the following section 88 for more detail on Yama and Niyama.
    There are sounds due to gross vibrations in the material body. To meditate on these gross sounds and believe it to be as the full practice of the Yoga of Sound shows a lack of knowledge of Yoga. According to the literature of the Sants (Saints), Yama and Niyama are essential for mastery in the practice of the Nadanusandhana (Yoga of Sound [Nada-nu-sand-hana, the spiritual practice of inner Sound meditation, also called Surat Shabd Yoga]).

    88. Yama consists of five disciplines: satya (truthfulness), ahimsa (non-violence), asteya (non-stealing), brahmacarya (continence), and aparigraha (control of greed or non-possessiveness).

    Niyama also consists of five practices, which are the following: sauca (internal and external purity), santosha (contentment), tapas (penance), svadhyaya (study of spiritual matters) and lsvara pranidhana (meditation on God).

    89. In following Yama and Niyama, one exercises aversion from the five sins, serves the spiritual master, attends satsang, and practices meditation as referred to in section 60.

    90. A comfortable asana (a pose of sitting or posture) of keeping the head, neck and trunk straight and steady is a must for meditation. Without the ability to sit in such a steady posture for prolonged periods, meditation cannot be practiced.

    91. Meditation should be practiced being alert, without being drowsy, shutting the eyes comfortably and without turning the eyeballs or pressing them in any way.

    92. The practice of meditation should be an essential part of the practitioner's daily routine. The preferred time of meditation is Brahmamuhurta ([Hour of God: Brahma-mu-hurta, or Amrit Veela: Hour of Elixir]: very early in the morning: 3:00 A.M.). Likewise one should meditate at mid-morning and then again in the evening time. While falling asleep, one should also engage his mind in meditation. Further, it is good to practice Manas japa [Simran] or Manas dhyana [Dhyan] while working.

    93. Before learning the Nadanusandhana (meditation on inner Sound) in practicing Manas japa (mantra repetition), Manas dhyana (focusing on the form of the master or deity) and Drshti Yoga ([inner Light meditation in the Third Eye Center or Eye-Focus] focusing on a Point that is practicing one-pointedness), one should meditate with eyes and mouth shut. Upon learning Nadanusandhana (Yoga of Sound [Inner Sound meditation]) from the Master, one should also close the ears.

    94.............In the initial stages of dhyana (absolute concentration), pratyahara is practiced. [Note: Pratyahara means to bring back. Bringing back or refocusing one's attention during meditation, bringing the mind distracted by worldly thoughts back to the Focal Point during meditation.] Through the means of pratyahara, the mind is brought back repeatedly to the Focal Point. By this constant practice of pratyahara, one is eventually able to concentrate for a short period on the Focal Point. This state of concentration is called dharana (steadiness of concentration or absorption). When absorption is maintained for longer and longer periods of time, then it is dhyana (absolute concentration). Then in this state of dhyana, one is able to grasp the Streams of spiritual Sounds (described in section 60) and finally achieves samadhi (Unity [Union, Absorption, Oneness in deep meditation]). Drshti Yoga (seeing the inner Light---the Yoga of Vision) will greatly facilitate pratyahara and dharana......

    --- Maharishi Mehi

    An English translation of, The Philosophy of Liberation, by Maharishi Mehi, is now online at this address:
    http://www.sadgurumehi.com/book/philosophyOfSalvation.html


    Mystic-Verses: Below is From the Padavali of Maharishi Mehi

    Because of the wonderful light of the rays of the Moon;
    How will the amazing Moon together with the sounds look like?
    Those experiencing it are truly are the wise ones,
    The brave get fully immersed into such endeavors,
    Fully plunged into such a practice one becomes extremely cool and calm,
    And forgets all about one's material body;
    Paramhans says such introvert-aspirants remain completely unaware of morning, day and night.
    And are effortless as if dead from outside,
    The Sun outside compared to one inside is dark enough,
    That splendorous Sun is beyond the boundary of the Moon,
    Louder sounds highly repetitive inside are not discernible enough,
    Paramhans says, sounds like the beating of drums and roaring of clouds are heard in the cosmos,
    Above Trikuti, are colourless, shapeless compartments, where there are only resounding sounds;
    The true spiritual aspirant remains in Dhyana Yoga [Yoga of Light],
    And with Yoga of Sound reaches the Highest Realm;
    In such a shapeless universe, he hears the extremely sweet sound of a Flute,
    The Yoga of Sound causes such wonderful experiences;
    On getting such a perceptive Guru, one knows how to do meditation upon inner Sound,
    That Matchless Sound which never changes is the Quintessential One,
    And that Quintessential Sound is finally changed into the Soundless one.
    Saints describe it with words such as "Soundless", "Nameless" or "Wordless",
    The Quintessential one along with surat [soul] at the final stage disappears,
    The very stage of Soundlessness, Wordlessness or Namelessness is entirely different,
    According to Mehi that stage is devoid of dualism,
    Surat, merging with the Absolute, never returns to the physical world.

    The Upanishads: The Freedom and Joy Finding Your Self

    The Upanishads: The Freedom and Joy Finding Your Self

    SantMat_Mysticism_Blog_at_Yahoo360

    Meditation Sangat:

    {"Do not live even a single day without inner
    meditation." -- Baba Devi Sahab}





    "One who meditates upon the Self and realizes the Self sees the Self everywhere, and rejoices in the Self. Such a one lives in freedom and is at home wherever he goes. But those who pursue the finite are blind to the Self and live in bondage.

    "One who meditates upon and realizes the Self discovers that everything in the cosmos --- energy and space, fire and water, name and form, birth and death, mind and will, word and deed, mantram and meditation --- all come from the Self.

    "The Self is one, though it appears to be many. Those who meditate upon the Self and realize the Self go beyond decay and death, beyond separateness and sorrow. They see the Self in everyone and obtain all things.

    "Control the senses and purify the mind. In a pure mind there is constant awareness of the Self. Where there is constant awareness of the Self, freedom ends bondage and joy ends sorrow."

    Thus the sage Sanatkumara taught the pure Narada to go beyond bondage, beyond sorrow, beyond darkness, to the light of the Self.

    -- Sage Sanathumara, Chandogya Upanishad,
