The Only Objective of the Masters is to Enlighten The Souls and Take Them Back to Their Father — to God Almighty — to Regain Their True Identity — Selections from January 2019 Satsang Discourses of Baba Ram Singh
"The Masters always see the soul and it is the soul that is the lost son of God Almighty. They always are worried about the soul and They come seeking the souls.
"It is the mind that makes the soul wander in this place and it is the mind that makes the jiva [soul] do all the things in this world. So, the burden of those karmas maligns the mind and the Masters always have Their sight on the soul.
"Masters, therefore, come because the soul is pure and They come to give salvation to the soul. Time and again, They are sent by God Almighty and They come to take all those souls who seek salvation and want to go back to God Almighty."
"After scores of lives, and tens of millions of lives, the opportunity of a human life is given to us. And, with the Grace of God Almighty, we get the company of the Masters. Tulsi Sahib also says, 'For everyone, to get the company of the Masters and to get Satsang is something which is very rare.'"
"He [Swami Ji Maharaj] says, 'You are badly entangled in this world. Having identified with the mind, you have acted upon and got entangled here in the company of the mind. And that is why you are stuck in this world.'
"Masters say, 'If you look around, you will see that there is no other enemy than your own mind.' This mind is an agent of Kal and the instructions of this mind are to be sure that the soul does not leave the compound of Kal.
"Today, the soul has forgotten its real identity and it has started identifying itself with this body. And because it identifies itself with this body, the mind is deluding the soul and keeping it entangled outside. So, the moment the soul leaves this body, there is no value to this body.
"He [Swami Ji Maharaj] says, 'You are the soul. You are, therefore, not the body. You are the driver of this body. And, if you are the soul, you do not belong here. You belong to your Oversoul, or God Almighty. And, therefore, you should now make efforts, having understood that you are the soul, you should make efforts with the instructions of the Master and you may go back to God Almighty.
"The Masters come to get the salvation for the soul. They come to enlighten the soul and show it the True Identity, show its own identity. By way of Satsangs, They explain to us as to who we are, why we are here, what is that we should be doing, and what is it that we are doing, and what is our True Home, and what is the effort we have to do to go back to our True Home.
"So, this reality of how we have lost our way. We have identified ourselves here in this world."
"Beyond Sach Khand, there are three planes — Alakh, Agam, and Anaami.” Swami Ji Maharaj has referred to Anaami as the place where all souls have come from and where God Almighty resides. So, all the souls have come from there. And till they go back to Anaami [The Nameless One], they will remain unsatisfied — till they go back to Anaami, to God Almighty. So, in this Bani [hymn], Swami Ji Maharaj has wonderfully explained where God Almighty resides, where all the souls have come from, and what is the Path to go back to that place. And, before that, He has told us — enlightened us — that we should all make efforts to go back to our True Home – to go back to God Almighty because we are all entangled here and have lost our identity in this world."
"So, we have had this great opportunity of this human life and we have also had the Grace of the God Almighty and have got initiated by a True Master. So, now, we should make the most of these precious moments and try to go within and go to heights within in this very life itself."
"The Varnatmak Naam, or the repetition of the Five Holy Names that are given — that ‘Naam’ — helps us to go within. With the help of that ‘Naam’, when we repeat it and we purify our mind, as the mind gets purified, we go within at the Eye Center. There, we manifest the true Sound Current and the true Naam. And that is the Naam that gets us salvation.
"Every day, you should try and practice Bhajan Simran [meditation]. You should practice your Simran. Do as much as possible of your Bhajan Simran. Try to sit in the morning in your respective homes.
"Now, if you cannot sit in the morning, find a suitable time and sit accordingly. But, every day, you should spend time to try and do this practice so that you able to try and leave your nine doors, which open outside, and come to the Tenth Door, which opens within.
"So, your effort is really to come within to the Eye Center and manifest the Sound Current. And, when you do that, then it is the Sound Current, which takes care of redeeming your karmas and takes you, from plane to plane, back to God Almighty."
