Indications of Spiritual Progress

Indications of Spiritual Progress: Love, Reaching the Eye Center, &

Inner Bliss

 

The slowness of the process of developing spiritual energy should

not dampen one's ardor. The result is sure, though it may be

distant. One's patience must be inexhaustible. But that is only one

side of the question.

 

There must be burning eagerness as well as icy patience, the

patience should hold the eagerness in restraint. But there should be

no feeling of uncertainty in the devotee about reaching the goal,

however arduous and long the journey. All responsibility and care as

to this have been taken from the spirit; all it has to do is to make

steady effort.

 

INDICATIONS OF SPIRITUAL PROGRESS.

 

There are however definite indications of spiritual growth which

will in due time manifest themselves. Such indications are:

 

(i) a strong feeling of love and of bliss at

the sixth chakra or third til [Third Eye];

love the Sant Satguru

 

(ii) consciousness of the rise of the spirit current to the third

til from the lower nervous centers;

 

(iii) the influx of spirituality from above may be felt. This is

called 'drops of ambrosia'.

 

(Myron Phelps notes)

 

Spiritual Bliss in Meditation

The spirit entity [soul] and the Supreme Being Radhasoami are all-

bliss and all-knowledge. In other words, the Supreme Being

 

Radhasoami is all-powerful, supreme-bliss, and supreme-knowledge

pervades through all. This Jiva, i.e., the spirit entity, is a

particle of His, because all the powers that are in Him are also

inherent in the spirit entity [your soul].

 

(Huzur Maharaj, Radhasoami Mat Updesh)

 

The Satguru will disclose to you the secrets.....

 

Meet Him and receive instructions from Him.

He will show you your True Home.

 

Attend His Satsang with care and attention.

Enshrine His priceless discourses in your heart.

 

He will make you detached from the world.

 

He will impart to you the invaluable inner secrets

concerning beloved Radhasoami, the Supreme

Being. Get yourself initiated by Him into Surat

Shabd Yoga [union with the Divine Light and Sound].

 

Your mind and the attention (surat) of your soul

will then constantly rush towards higher regions

as they listen to the reverberations of Shabd within. They will experience

immense bliss.

 

(Huzur Maharaj, Prem Bani Radhasoami, Vol. 4)
