Finding Our Spiritual Oasis (Inner Peace, Rest, Tranquility) During This Life -
Escaping the Illusion and Turmoil of the World During This Kali Yuga Age -
Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast - Sant Mat Satsang Podcasts -
A Satsang Without Walls
By developing a spiritual practice, on demand we are able to find respite from the madness of the world, this turbulent ocean of samsara, gaining our freedom from serving as pawns of a demiurgical, kalistic culture of conflict and agitated minds.
"What our modern world has suffered from most of all is runaway ideology, the agitated attachment to ideas that thereby become the playthings of infrahuman energies. This is the great danger of all ideologies, whether political, religious, or academic." (Jacob Needleman expressing some thoughts about the Gospel of Thomas)
"Solitude is not something you must hope for in the future. Rather, it is a deepening of the present, and unless you look for it in the present you will never find it." (Thomas Merton)

The goal of this Sant Mat Satsang discourse is to shed more light on the meditation practices of the Sants which liberate the soul, provides a spiritual oasis for souls to be free from the agents of the negative power, ever-and-always agitating minds in this world, keeping them off-center so they never get around to going within, finding their true self and exploring the Divine Realms available inside during spiritual practice.
We must rise above during our meditations in order to ultimately return to the Ocean of Love and All-Consciousness known as God... above this bodily existence, above this material plane, above time or KAL, above mind, above maya or illusion and all these outer planes of creation. As it says in the Greek Gospel of Thomas "we enter into Rest." And as Rumi has written in his mystic poetry, To Him We Shall Return.
Meister Eckhart the German Mystic: "If the soul is to see God, then it must see no temporal thing, for as long as the soul is conscious of time or space, or of an idea, it cannot know God."
This discourse is also deliberately mindful of the lineage of Sant Mat Masters spanning many centuries, tracing this Path of the Masters back through time to Satguru Kabir.
References, Subjects, Sources and Segments Include: Rumi, Gospel of Thomas, The Empty Tomb of Satguru Kabir (The Story of Kabir's Body Turning Into Lotus Flowers), Plucking Flowers of Spirituality Within Your Body Through the Meditation Practice of the Sants, The Anurag Sagar (Ocean of Love) and Sant Dharam Das), the Prakash Mani Gita on Inner Sound Meditation, Sat Saheb and Sant Dariya Sahib of Bihar, Sant Tulsi Sahib of Hathras, Maharaj Girdhari Sahib of Lucknow, Swami Ji Maharaj of Agra (Sar Bachan Radhasoami Poetry), Sant Garib Das of the Radhaswami Satsang, Rohilla, Delhi (book of Anmol Vachan), Baba Jaimal Singh of Beas, Hazur Baba Sawan Singh, Baba Somanath, Sant Kirpal Singh, Sant Ji (The Light of Ajaib), and Baba Ram Singh's Satsang Discourse on Kabir and Sant Dharam Das - Anurag Sagar commentary: The Saints are Instructed by The Almighty to Fetch the Troubled Souls. "The Almighty has promised the souls who have left Him and into the world of Kal, that if they are in trouble, or if they remember Him, He shall come to fetch them." (Baba Ram Singh on the liberation of souls during this Kali Yuga age)
In Divine Love (Bhakti), Light, and Sound, At the Feet of the Masters, Radhasoami,

Learning to Surrender: A spiritual initiation
Surrender has to be one of the hardest concepts to understand as a human being. When someone says that they surrendered, what I have finally come to understand is that they came to a place of deep trust in a process.
It took me a long time to move beyond my surface-level understanding of surrender as a giving in or giving up. I am sure some people have experienced it that way, especially when they hit rock bottom. I myself have had that experience. It has been years since, and now I see I was in some ways forced into surrender. I resigned myself to it. The other option was death. As true as all that may be, surrender is much more complex than that very obvious version.
It doesn't have to be that hard. Surrender doesn't have to mean hitting the bottom. Unless, of course, you are stubborn as I am, refusing to go gently. Long hard-headed, I have finally learned that surrender can be gentle and very intentional. I choose this form of surrender now, every day.
Surrender requires a different kind of strength. In the way I am speaking of it here, it is a choice, and that comes from within. I must yield my ego, the illusion of control, service-to-self, and self-harm. When I yield, I tap into a strength beyond any I could have imagined. I tap into my Higher Self and Source itself.
I have found that, when I surrender, I yield to the flow of life, which in the East is called the Tao.
I love being in the flow. When I am in the flow, it feels like everything is right, and when I feel that way, Life responds with abundance. Flow allows surrender to abundant mindset, one that begins with a deep worthiness if that which comes into my life. The more I flow, the more I feel connected to Spirit and Gaia. I feel aligned to my Higher Self, and then all things are revealed to me as I need them: my life purpose, my mission, and my next steps on my path. None of it is possible without surrender.
If I make it sound easy, I will say that it's taken me 50 years to figure it out. The Crone speaks. However, it is possible to choose it for yourself at any age because your Higher Self is ancient and knows what you need, just as Spirit knows.
Trust is an act of love. Learning to love unconditionally begets love of the All, which imbues trust, which allows surrender, which reveals purpose, which begets more love in the creative process of embodying the purpose.
Love. Surrender. Live your purpose. Your Higher Self is calling you home.
