Guru’s Sanctuary Grants one Consummation. {236.}
****
“I bow in reverence to the Lord, I bow in reverence.
I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, my King.
By great good fortune, one meets the Divine Guru.
Millions of sins are erased by serving the Lord.
One whose mind is imbued with the Lord’s lotus feet
is not afflicted by the fire of sorrow.
He crosses over the world-ocean in the Saadh Sangat,
the Company of the Holy.
He chants the Name of the Fearless Lord,
and is imbued with the Lord’s Love.
One who does not steal the wealth of others,
who does not commit evil deeds or sinful acts,
the Messenger of Death does not even approach him.
God Himself quenches the fires of desire.
O Nanak, in God’s Sanctuary, one is saved.
---- Guru Nanak Dev; The Guru Granth Sahib.

God is Infinite Love Personified. {106.}
****
Radhasoami!
The essence of God is love. The sole cause for Incarnations to descend upon earth is love.
The single inspiration for Grace is love.
The root motivation for the urges to devotion, service & quest for salvation is love.
The prime impulse for harmony, peace, help, goodness, compassion, philanthropy and charity is love.
To love is to be good.
To love is to worship & serve God.
To love is to inch forward along the path to one’s redemption.
The Omnipresent Radhasoami Dayal Is always Keeping a minute record of all the karmas or deeds of every being.
HE Will finally Reward or Punish Justly.
Let us never doubt this.
Let’s keep the Faith, under all circumstances.
Let’s love & do good, to the infinite glory of Radhasoami Dayal’s Avatar Swaroop or Incarnated Form as the Param Guru of Dayalbagh Actively Functioning & Showering His Grace for the real spiritual welfare of all living beings & the entire creation.
