Soami Ji, Sar Bachan Poetry

What is life? A frenzy?
What is life? An illusion,
A shadow, a fiction,
… that everything in life is a dream,
and dreams are just dreams.

Calderon de la Barca, Life Is a Dream

The rich man dreams in his riches…
The poor man dreams that he is enduring
Misery and poverty;…
And in the World, to conclude,
Everyone is dreaming what they are,
And none of them understands.

Calderon de la Barca, Life Is a Dream

Dream is real when one is dreaming.
Only when he awakens or comes into the other (conscious) state
and compares the two states,
he calls the conscious the real, and the dream the unreal or an illusion.
When the attention leaves the physical plan,
enters the astral, and compares the two,
only then the physical world becomes unreal,
and the astral the real.

Maharaj Sawan Singh - Spiritual Gems

A disciple met with his Master to discuss the nature of liberation
and to ask about the position adopted by those who attain it.
The disciple asked:
“Master, how is it possible that a liberated human being can remain at peace
when faced with the tragedies suffered by humanity?”
The Master took the hands of the disciple in his and said:
“Imagine that you are sleeping and that you dream
that you are in a bouat with a lot of other passengers.
Suddenly the boat hits a rock and starts to sink.
In your distress you wake up.
Would you go back to sleep in order to warn the other passengers
that the bouat is sinking?”

Let the dying year with all its memories and regrets,
pleasant and unpleasant,
bring to us the impermanence and unreality of what we behold,
and strengthen our resolve to rise above the phenomenal existence
and reach the glories of the Word, the Nam that was, is, and will be.

Maharaj Jagat Singh - The Science of the Soul

If the life as we know is only a dream, then what is reality? In the Bible we can read :

In the beginning was the Word,
and the World was with God, and the word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him;
and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Bible, John 1:3

Mikhail Naimy, The Book of Mirdad

Love is not a virtue
Love is a necessity;
more so than bread and water;
more so than light and air.

Mikhail Naimy, The Boook of Mirdad

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul,
and with all thy mind.
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it, Thou sahlt love thy neighbour as thy self.

Bible, Matthew 22:37-39

You have heard that it hath been said,
Thou salt love thy neigbour,
and hate thine enemy.
But I say unto you,
Love your enemies,
bless them that curse you,
do good to them that hate you,
and pray for them which despitefully use you,
and persecute you.

Bible, Matthew 5:43-44

The Lord loves to meet us more that we can possibily long to meet him.
It is he who created the desires in our hearts to meet Him.
He is the One who is behind the screen,
and the string is absolutely i his hands.
He makes us dance in His love and devotion
and we are just puppets.

Maharj Charan Singh Ji, Die To Live

The more we give love,
the more it grows,
the more we lose our selves,
the more we become another Being.

Maharaj Charan Singh, Die to Live

To love somebody means we are always near him.
To love somebody means to give yourself without expecting anything in return.
To give yourself, to submit, to resign to him.

Maharaj Charan Singh Ji, Die to Live

1 Corinthians 6:19

The human form is not bestowed upon us for the enjoyment of senses pleasures
but for realizing the Lord and merging our soul in him.

Maharaj Charan Singh Ji - Spiritual Discourses Vol. 1

Nine gate open outwords,
through which our energies are dissipated.
The tenth gate opens the way to the palace of the Lord within.
The nine doors comprise our two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, the mouth and the two lower outlets.
The tenth is in the centre behind the two eyes.
It is called tisra til, shiv netar, or the third eye.

Maharaj Jagat Singh - The Science of the Soul

The human form is an invaluable gift.
We should avail ourselves of it for the purpose for which it is granted to us.
The uniqueness of the human form consists in its ability to realize God.
Towards this end we must blend all our energies.
This is our real work.
The rest is all to no purpose.
It is like forced labor where we toil the whole day,
work to the point of exhaustion,
and yet return home empty-handed.

Maharaj Charan Singh Ji - Spiritual Discourses Vol. 1

Saint Thomas Aquinas

O God, animate us to cheerfulness!
May we have a joyful sense of our blessings,
learn to look on the bright circumstances of our lot
and maintain a perpetual contentedness under thy allotments.

“Since I was cut from tht reed bed,

I have made this crying sound.

Anyone apart from someone he loves

understands what I say.

Anyone pulled from a source

longs to go back….

The reed flute

is fure, not wind. Be that empty.”

Rumi, The Essential Rumi

rendered by Coleman Barks

Whenever you lift a weight from a needle,

the needle will automatically be drawn to the magnet.

Whether there are one thousands needle or there is one needle,

they all have the same tendendy to go to the magnet…

Every soul definitely feels the same longing

at the level of consciousness.

Maharaj Charan Singh, Die To Live

Longing will eliminate ego and will make you merge into the Being.

You will lose your identity and become one with the Father by longing.

But this longing, this intense longing,

doesn’t come without Shabd.

Maharaj Charan SIngh, Die to Live

Humans are on the top step because we are able
to understand that we are soul drops, not just actors.
And because of a wonderful secret you’ll soon discover…

Animals are on the fourth step.
They are lower than humans because they are not able
to realize that they are soul drops.

Birds are on the third step.
Though they are free to fly,
they are less clever than animals.

Fish, Reptiles, Insects, and Worms
are on te second step.
They are less clever than birds.

Plants are down at the bottom.
They are lowest form of life.
They cannot think and are rooted to one place.

Quote from The Journey Of The Soul

Note :
Humans have five active elements, i.e.: earth, water, fire, air, ether.
Animals have four active elements.
Birds have three active elements.
Fish, reptiles, insects, and worms have two active elements.
Plants have one active elements, i.e: water.

a Perfect Master can guide the individual soul to do the right meditation, working under the guidance of a Perfect Master, withdraws his consciousness from the ‘nine doors,’ sheds the three sheaths that cover the soul, removes the dragging chains, overpowers the mind and maya, and reaches the higher Spiritual region beyond astral and causal regions, where, having realized his kinship with God. When the individual reaches the spiritual height where he realizes that the two - he and the Lord - are of the same essence, though one is the Ocean and the other a drop, then he joyfully exclaims “That am I.”

Three gunas are three qualities or attributes of matter, i.e.: Sat, Raj and Tam - whose function is to create, support, and destroy this world.

Five tattvas are five elements that create this world and the creations, i.e.: earth, water, fire, air, ether.
