Divine Grace Busts Into Worlds of Time and Space to Rescue Souls, The Wisdom of Baba Somanath
There is a message coming from beyond the stars, a communication emanating from the Timeless Realm to those lost somewhere in time, a gospel calling out to us from outside the multiverse and lower planes of creation. Kabir says, "Where else have you heard a Sound like this?"
The quest of the true spiritual seeker is to remain focused in a realm of endless distractions, to become spiritually awake in a culture of slumber or negligence, to always remember God and our spiritual practice in this temporal region of forgetfulness (maya, illusion, samsara, world of changes). We all have the potential to be successful at reaching our spiritual goals and not talked out of our hopes, dreams and ideals by negative external influences. We are free to find our genuine life purpose following the spiritual path, discovering the wonders of inner Light and Sound Meditation practice, experience the lifting of the heavy burden of karma, and reach the oasis of spiritual rest and repose in the God-worlds of Inner Space, which we all have access to... if we did but know it!
"Baba Ji [Baba Somanath] was a Gurumukh Disciple of Hazur Baba Sawan Singh Ji who, after a long search for Truth, during which He performed many austerities, fasts and difficult Nathpanth yogic practices in the tradition of Gorakhnath, was drawn to the Path of Sant Mat -- the Path of the Celestial Sound Current and Radiant Light. Under the orders of Hazur, He spread the Sant Mat Teachings in the states of Karnataka, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh from 1933 until 1976 when He left the mortal coil." (BabaSomanathJi org English Language Website Making His Teachings Widely Available to the West)
Baba Somanath was one of the spiritual successors of Hazur Baba Sawan Singh, the Great Master of Beas. Today we explore his teachings including satsang commentary on verses of the Sar Bachan Radhasoami Poetry, a key Sant Mat spiritual classic. This particular discourse of Baba Somanath is quite informative about the role of the mind or ego acting as an extension of universal mind called "the Kal Niranjan" and also known as "the Demiurge", the negative power, lord of illusion, great deceiver.
Somanath Prays...
"You are the Lord and Friend of the lowly ones."
"Shower Your grace upon me.
I have taken refuge in Your shelter, and now to preserve Your honor,
Please take me out of the cycle of births and deaths."
"I have fallen at your door -- O, Gatekeeper of the Inner Realms."
"Keep me steadfastly absorbed in contemplation on You.
Rivet my attention at the still point between the eyes,
And show me the Light of Spiritual knowledge."
"Giving me the support of the Dhun, the True Shabd,
Transport my soul into the Great Void.
Drawing me upwards on the stream of Sohang Shabd; reveal the vision of the True Realm, Sat Lok,
Where divine strains of the veena fill the air."
"Transport me to Alakh and Agam -- the invisible and inaccessible regions.
Whoever reaches there, has come to the end of the journey.
Regarding me as your helpless child,
Merge me into the primal Anami Lok [Nameless Plane, Radhasoami]."
-- Baba Somanath, excerpted from the bhajan, Dina bandhu dina naatha
In Divine Love (Bhakti), Light, and Sound, At the Feet of the Masters, Radhaswami,
