    radha-soami:

    1. He who sincerely takes to Parmarth [spiritual practice], and having joined the Radhasoami Faith performs its devotional practices, should cultivate the habit of keeping a constant watch over his mind and senses. He should closely observe their behaviour, and see how far they engage in unprofitable deeds, thoughts and objects. He should restrain them whenever they tend towards such deeds, thoughts and objects.

    2. It is not the work of a day, nor can it be accomplished quickly. Through innumerable births and ages and for years and years the mind, through its sense organs, has been running after desirable and undesirable, necessary and unnecessary thoughts, deeds and objects. But nowhere does it achieve such perfect peace and enduring happiness that it may for ever get rid of the craving for greater enjoyment. It is for this reason that the mind is always unhappy. It is ever impure and sad on account of the anxieties caused by the desire for the pleasure of the senses. It is all the time busy in putting forth efforts, i.e., working hard for the attainment of one object or the other.

    3. The fact is that the real home of the spirit. (Surat) extends from the Holy Feet of Radhasoami down to the region of Sat Lok, while the real home of the mind is in Trikuti. Since mind has had a taste, in some measure, of the bliss and happiness of its real home and is composed of the materials -of that region, it will, so long as it does not return to Trikuti, continue to hunt after the bliss and happiness of its original abode in every act, thought and object of the lower regions, where it has fallen in delusion and ignorance. As it hears the praise of any object and learns that its acquisition brings pleasure, pride and fame to its possessor, it endeavours to secure the same object. But when it does not get full measure of pleasure, it draws away from that activity or object, to some extent and does not pay the same attention to it. It diverts its attention to some other activity, thought or object of which it has heard more praise. In this way it is always engaged in one activity, thought or object or the other. It is never at rest. It never gives up its agitation.

    4. It is proper for a Parmarthi to watch the behaviour of his mind and senses. Whenever they tend to flow towards undesirable, unnecessary and unprofitable thoughts or deeds, he should immediately, or as soon as he comes to his proper senses, check them from going astray, and turn them internally towards the Charans (Holy Feet) or engage them in the performance of Sumiran and Dhyan, or in the recitation of the Holy Books. And if none of these things proves effective, he should engage himself in some thought or work of the world which may be desirable and necessary. In short, he should, as far as it lies in his power, restrain his mind and senses from unnecessarily flowing outwards or downwards.

Brief Summary of Teachings of Sant Mat, The Path of the Masters

* All souls (jivas) are in essence drops of love from the Ocean of God.

* The attachment and association with mind and body makes the soul lose sight of the real Self.

* God assumes the form of a Saint (Sant Sat Guru) to lead the soul back to its Original Home.

* One must surrender one's entire being to the Ocean of Love of which we are a part, instead of limiting ourselves to sensual pleasures which leave us unhappy and discontented.

* This can be done by the practice of Surat Shabd Yoga [Inner Light and Sound Meditation].

* By attuning oneself to the Life Current which proceeds from the Heart of Anami Purush [God, The Nameless One/Radhaswami] in the form of Light and Sound, one can finally achieve union with the True Self, finding the joy one is seeking. (R.S. White Paper on Religion of Sants and Radhasoami Faith)

* Consider the following as the requirements to attain liberation:

1) Trust and belief in God;

2) Commitment to seek the Divine within;

3) Devotion to a living spiritual master;

4) Listening to the teaching of the spiritual discourse including study of the teachings of the saints and the scriptures; and,

5) Diligent meditation practice. (Swami Sant Sevi Ji Maharaj)
