“The Glory and Importance of Darshan of Param Purush Puran”: Selection from the Writings of Soamiji Maharaj (vegetarian), Part 2 of 2

Shabd 4. “The seeker-Surat ascended beyond Gagan (the Wisdom eye) and heard the constant resonance of Radhasoami Ji’s Nam. The loving Surat, on reaching Daswan Dwar (the tenth gate), experienced happiness. Radhasoami Ji vanquished Maya, the cheat. The keen-nosed Surat observed the Malya-giri, the mountain abounding in sandal trees, and inhaled sweet fragrance emanating from there. She obtained Radhasoami Ji’s Nam, the essence of all. The wise Surat saw the current of Shabd. Radhasoami Ji sang the Mallari Rag. My Surat has become Bairagin, i.e., indifferent and disinclined to worldly desires and passions. She has made the Holy Feet of Radhasoami Ji her support and sustenance. The beloved Surat went on, following the Holy Name. By Mauj (Supreme will), she arrived at the Abode of my Lord, Radhasoami Ji. There I witnessed His true glory and grandeur. She adored the Holy Feet of Radhasoami Ji again and again. She went on, peeped through the window, and got Darshan of the beatific form of Radhasoami Ji. She reversed the direction of the current flowing from eyes. She touched the Feet of Radhasoami Ji. She gave up Ahankar (egotism). Radhasoami Ji has cast such a benign look on her that all the evils of her mind have departed. She has now no worldly desire left in her. Radhasoami Ji has removed all doubts and misgivings from her mind. Radhasoami Ji has used such a strategem that the mind has been overcome. What a wondrous spectacle I behold! Radhasoami Ji showed me a garden of flowers. Here, there and everywhere, flowers of Shabd have blossomed. I am now enamored of Radhasoami Ji. In His region, Shabd is resounding incessantly. Radhasoami Ji has adorned my Surat.”

Shabd 6. “I am gazing at the countenance of the perfect Guru and enjoying the bliss of love. The majestic grandeur of Sat Guru is indescribable. The Anhad Shabd is resounding within. The drop (spirit entity) leaves Pind (Material-spiritual region), the unreal world, and ascends higher, and reaches the ocean of the refulgence of Sat (Truth). When I hear thunder in Gagan (the Wisdom eye), my yearning is awakened, and coward mind becomes brave and courageous. I have enshrined the Lotus Feet of Guru in my heart. Sat Guru has cast His glance of mercy upon me. The wheel of Kal is now broken.”

Shabd 8. “Guru's Rup (Form) is in the eyes. Open your eyes. Guru's Shabd is in the inner ears. Listen to the Shabd (sound) coming from Gagan (the Wisdom eye). Radhasoami Ji is revealing the secrets of the real path. Those who are fortunate enough to follow it shall cross the ocean of existence.”
