Mere Existence & Presence Achieving. {169.}
Mere Existence & Presence Achieving. {169.}
****
The Nij Dhar or Incarnated Divine Current of Compassionate Radhasoami, the Supreme Godhead Residing in the loftiest paradise, Radhasoami Dham, has Been Functioning Its most glorious Mission of universal salvation ever since 12.30 am of August 24, 1818.
The mere Existence & Presence of the awesome & omnipotent Living Godly Force in our world-system is powerfully causing subtle & sweeping changes to occur throughout the world.
Despite the ongoing age of Kaliyuga, the whole world & creation is being charged spiritually.
People will prove this in their yearning for God, & in the proliferation of umpteen petty religious shops that seek to exploit their longings.
Gradually, all the good & deserving souls will be drawn towards the Redemptive Ferry of the living Radhasoami religion of Dayalbagh.
We are all blessed to be born in this fortunate period & capable of receiving His Grace & ensuring our ultimate spiritual welfare.
Let us all remain humbly grateful for the Supreme Godhead’s Current Being Present in this lowly world-system among us all.
****
Note: This is drawn from & inspired by the scriptures, practices & teachings pertaining to the Radhasoami religion of Dayalbagh.

I met with Him, and returned home in joy.
This is the glorious greatness of the Naam.

O Saints, worship and adore the Lord …
Worship the Lord in adoration,
and you shall obtain everything;
