Brief Summary of the Teachings of Sant Mat, the Path of the Masters, and, “The Soul’s Return to the Ocean of Love” – Mystic Verses of Kabir
* 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 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/Radhasoami] 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”)
The Soul’s Return to the Ocean of Love
“How could the love between Thee and me sever?
As the leaf of the lotus abides on the water,
so thou art my Lord, and I am Thy servant.
As the night-bird Chakor gazes all night at the moon,
so Thou art my Lord and I am Thy servant.
From the beginning until the ending of time there is love
between Thee and me;
and how shall such love be extinguished?
Kabir says: ‘As the river enters into the Ocean,
so my heart touches Thee.’” (Guru Kabir)
