The Ascension of the Soul Back to God (the Ocean of Love) - Guru Nanak's Message - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast

On today's satsang podcast we explore the soul's journey of separation from the One, incarnating into various bodies and lives of existence, it's eventual search for meaning, sacredness, finding spiritual awakening, and -- full circle -- returning back to the One. You'll hear many readings from the Sikh scriptures including the Morning Prayer (Jap Ji) of Guru Nanak and from other Saints of the East. As Guru Gobind Singh said in his mystic poetry and hymns: "Just as millions of sparks fly from fire; They arise separately but again unite in fire... From God’s form, incorporeal and corporeal beings are manifested and spring from Him shall all be united in Him again." (Dasam Granth)

This podcast, as always, is about an in-depth exploration of the teachings of the Saints and Mystics, the Path of the Masters, unedited, unfiltered, and unaltered, as presented in their own words, from their spiritual discourses, poetry and prose, a satsang (spiritual gathering) without walls.

Merged Into the Ocean of Oneness

The Bhakta devotee Sant Tukarama saw God everywhere and within everyone. The viewer and the image, the lover and the object of worship, the drop and the ocean have become one:

"All of humanity has become God; My virtues and defects have both been removed. Sublime beyond words, it is indeed a blessing; In this great triumph, my heart is at peace. The reflection in the mirror appears a separate being, But the viewer and his image are one and the same. When it merges into the Ocean, O Tuka, The streamlet becomes the Ocean itself."

-- Sant Tukarama, Gatha 3132

"When Beauty shows itself, all the essences of life converge in it as a center, and it therefore has as a tributary the entire universe." (Nina Gitana)

"The center-most part of your being -- THERE is the Supreme Region. It is the sacred temple of the Spirit -- the place where God delights to abide. It is there He manifests Himself to the one He created. He gives Himself in a way that transcends both senses and all human understanding." (Miguel de Molinos, Spanish Mystic, in, "The Spiritual Guide")

"All bliss, peace and glory lie within you, on the Holy Road upon which you are traveling. So please carry on with your meditations with love, faith and devotion, and you will progress within from day to day and enjoy in ever increasing measures the great love and peace that inner spiritual development affords. Master-Power is working overhead and is your ever benign companion giving all feasible help and grace." (Kirpal Singh, Spiritual Elixir, Volume One)

The Art of true living in which the mind and the body reflect the soul more and more deeply is a high and elegant art. The words of Leonardo da Vinci to an aspiring young artist hold true equally for the art of living and the art and science of spirituality.

"If thou wouldst be an artist, leave off all sadness and care save for thy art. Let thy soul be as a mirror, reflecting all objects, all colors and movements, itself remaining unmoved and clear."

Leonardo's advice is the essence of interior solitude and seclusion, and also of meditation and true living (meditation in action). It points to a synthesis, bringing stillness and action together in an appropriate way.

We are leaving the Age of Separation and entering the Age of Synthesis.

(excerpt from a letter written by Nina Gitana to a Satsangi)

"Another common misconception is that prophets, saints and mystics search for 'new' truth. Rather, what they do is to simply remove the layers of dirt -- of accumulated misinterpretations -- that have corrupted the truth. Then the living teacher will bring forth the very same truth in a new light. The original truth must repeatedly be presented to suit the current age." (Swami Sant Sevi Ji Maharaj)

"I was being crushed like seeds in an oil-press -- but the True Guru set me free. Love, old as all my births, flickered once again." (Songs of Kabir in the Adi Granth, Nirmal Dass, SUNY Press, NY)

Making Spiritual Progress During This Life -- This Time Through

Huzur Baba Sawan Singh: "When the Sant Satguru incarnates on this earth to release the souls from the material covers, he first teaches them that this place is not their permanent abode and that their chief function here is to find the means to return to their own home, whence they came in the beginning. Those who accept his teachings and act upon them with love, gradually return to the purely spiritual region under his guidance. Therefore you need not be anxious and you should continually perform the spiritual practice with firm faith and trust in the mercy of the Holy Father, who has kindly disclosed to you the secrets of the true Holy Name, and you will certainly reach the goal one day.

"Should you hear the Sound when retiring to sleep after getting through the daily meditation, you should continue to listen to it while lying in your bed. At that time you must not think of getting up to adopt the sitting position, as it will draw your attention aside and you may not hear the Sound for some time until you work hard again to concentrate your attention.

I am in the next seat. My shoulder is against yours.

You will not find me in the stupas, not in Indian shrine rooms,

nor in synagogues, nor in cathedrals:

not in masses, nor kirtans,

not in legs winding around your own neck, nor in eating nothing but vegetables.

When you really look for me, you will see me instantly – you will find me in the tiniest house of time.

Kabir says: Student, tell me, what is God?

“He is the breath inside the breath.”

- Kabir (1398-1518 C.E.)

The Kabir Sagar is the Granth, the holy book of the Sant Dharam Das line of Satgurus composed over many generations, a vast collection of Sant Mat scriptures, a great treasure of spiritual wisdom. This earlier collection of Sant writings, composed between the time of Guru Kabir’s spiritual successor Sant Dharam Das and Dariya Sahib of Bihar, needs to become available in English.

The Anurag Sagar (“Ocean of Love”), one of the many volumes of the Kabir Sagar, though having some popularity in the Radhasoami world, is just the tip of a literary iceberg. Some of those other Sagar scriptures seem even more appealing……..

If you're read the Anurag Sagar ("Kabir's Ocean of Love"), know there are 39 more Sagar scriptures from the same source! Introducing the 40 Sagars of the Kabir Sagar (“Ocean of Kabir” - Scripture of Sant Mat) - a New Blog Entry
