One of the Greatest of Spiritual Masters and Poet-Mystics of Sant Mat in the History of India: Sant Dariya Sahib of Bihar, today on this edition of Spiritual Awakening Radio, a Sant Mat Satsang Podcast. (Namaste', Sat Naam Sahab, Jai Guru, Radhaswami)

 

From the "Love Chapter" of Saint Dariya 

 

"Blessed is the eye which is permeated with love.

Without love it is like a pebble or stone.

Like a gardener without a garden,

     the eye remains empty without love.

What is the state of a human being without love?

He is like one who is denied all delicacies,

     and whose mouth is filled only with dust.

Without love one does not find the flow

     of the Sound Current.

But when the flower of love blossoms,

     its fragrance is praised by all.

 

"Many are the paths prevalent in this world

Knowing the proper wisdom, work out your own salvation.

He who obtains a wise and discriminating Saint,

Recognizes the path of salvation.

 

"The technique of love is truly the root of spirituality.

Follow this technique as imparted by the Master.

When with his grace the inner lamp is lighted,

The true Naam, the support of all, comes to sight.

 

"Just as the lotus resides in water,

It does not come to bloom by water.

Only when the light of the sun appears,

Does the lotus open its petals,

As the contemplative (inner) eye opens to see.

 

"The spiritual lotus likewise resides in the human body

     which is like a pond.

Its sustaining water is close to the lotus.

But only when love for the Satguru arises,

Does the inner lotus bloom,

And one becomes a devotee of the Lord's holy feet.

 

"Without love, there is no spiritual path.

The path lives in love.

 

"With intensification of love, one comes in contact

     with the True Sound,

And like a lotus in water, abides in its peace and bliss.

 

"When love and endearment are firmly ingrained,

One attains the elixir of Naam, and enjoys its bliss.

Being firmly entrenched in love and endearment,

And being well-steeped in devotion,

     one obtains the true love.

 

"Without love one does not find the flow

     of the Sound Current.

But when the flower of love blossoms,

     its fragrance is praised by all."

 

-- Mystic Verses of Sant Dariya Saheb of Bihar

 

In Divine Love (Bhakti), Light, and Sound, At the Feet of the Masters, Radhasoami
