Radhasoami: The Universal Salvation Religion. {127.}
****
Religions have traditionally been identified with truths & worldviews that exclude certain sections of humanity out from the possibility of Grace. To a great extent, this is logical & inevitable. For instance, how can Nirvana possibly be gifted by the Buddha to a person who has not practiced Buddhist meditation at all?
However, the end result of such partial groupings has been the segregation of humanity into several blocks, the one rather – or, intensely -- suspicious of & hostile to the others. At the end of the day, this leads to violence, terrorism & wars.
The Radhasoami religion’s unique glory lies in the fact that its declared purpose is the salvation of not just all humans but even all living beings {including animals} in this world-system.
Eventually, the Radhasoami religion of Dayalbagh will unite humanity with love & Grace, & usher in lasting peace here. The ideal of humanity living peacefully as a single huge family under the Reign of the Supreme Godhead will finally be realized.

Note: This is drawn from & inspired by the scriptures, practices & teachings pertaining to the Radhasoami religion of Dayalbagh.
This blog strives to be an inspiring compendium of the cream of quotes that would make for engaging reading & useful reference by anyone. Our first focus is the various scriptures that collectively form the richest & most treasured aspect of humanity's cultural legacy. However, interesting quotes from works of literature & other sources shall also be liberally included.

Discard Lesser for Greater Joy. {30.}
Discard Lesser for Greater Joy. {30.}
****
“If a person who enjoys a lesser happiness beholds a greater one,
let her or him leave aside the lesser to gain the greater.
I reached in experience the nirvana that is unborn, unrivalled,
secure from attachment, undecaying and unstained.
This condition has indeed been reached by me
that is deep, difficult to see, difficult to understand,
tranquil, excellent, beyond the reach of mere logic, subtle,
and to be realized only by the wise.”
---- Gautama Buddha.
