True Meaning of Surrender


Kritiranjan Nath Anurag - SUPREME LOVE
THE TRUE MEANING OF SURRENDER (CONVERSATION WITH PROF. BOB CUMMING)

12th August,1964.
Nirala Nibesh, Thakur bunglow.

Robert(Bob) : What happens when one has surrendered himself to the Ishta (ideal)?

Thakur: Then, the concern towards the Ishta becomes prominent in his life. His eyes, nose, face everything reaveals the sayings and features of the Ishta. Sadhana comes to him automatically. He experiences seeing and feeling. He wants everything of Ishta to be perfectly beautiful and acts accordingly.
The word 'SURRENDER' has two parts: 'SUR' means above and 'RENDER' means 'to give'. I have submitted myself on the feet of Ishta that means I have become completely HIS own. To surrender to Christ means to accept Christ. Why have I accepted HIM? Only to love and serve HIM. Hence Christ lies above everything. Surrender is the topmost position of love. Your each and every facial expression shall witness your love towards HIM, and you shall act automatically. Untottering love towards the Ishta shall make you like that.

Robert Bob Cumming became spell-bound by listening to Thakur. After spending a few days at the Ashram, he took initiation from Respected Sushil da on 27th August, 1964. As Dikshapranami Professor Cumming reverendly submitted a large Moonstone in Thakur's hands. Thakur took it in hands and asked to hand it over to S.S Boroma. Boroma took it in her hands and said, "What is this thing? It's so beautiful! "
After doing pranam to Thakur and Baroma, Bob Cumming said, "Thakur, you guide me." To this Thakur smilingly replied, "YOU LOVE ME AND THAT LOVE WILL DICTATE YOU HOW TO BE GUIDED."

¤NOTE: Professor Robert Bob Cumming was an American devotee of Thakur and a professor. He helped the author (Sri Manilal Chakraborty) in editorial work of 'The Message'.

Surat Shabd Yoga in Radhasoami Faith

Surat Shabd Yoga in Radhasoami Faith


(Collection from official website of Satsang, Soamibag, Agra)

The basic practice of Radhasoami faith is Surat Shabd Yoga   as profounded by Soamiji Maharaj
Who has  given a complete exposure on this practice in his work Sar Bachan Bartik and the following is taken from that text

“This is to communicate to the adikaris (deserving persons) the message that the Supreme Being Radhasoami, finding the humanity badly confounded and in great distress, manifested Himself as Sant SatGuru. In His unbounded mercy, He revealed 
the mysteries of His own sphere and the mode of attaining it by means of Surat Shabd practice.
It behoves Jivas to develop love in His Holy Feet.
By the performance of this practice, mind will get subdued. There is no otherway in this Kali Yuga for purifying and quieting the mind
and raising it to higher regions. The goals of all the religions, prevalent in this world, reach up to the first or at the most the second stage of Sants. If the Abhyas of  Surat Shabd Yoga is performed methodically, the mind and spirit will be purified, and , catching hold of Shabd, will ascend to celestial regions, represented in human microcosm. Leaving Pind, the region of nine orifices, they will reach Brahmand, i.e., Trikuti. There the spirit will part company with the mind, and proceed further. Experiencing the bliss of Sunn and Maha-sunn, the spirit will have darshan of Sat Purush in Sat Lok, of Alakh Purush in Alakh Lok, and of Agam Purush in 
Agam Lok. Finally, it will reach the Nij Dham of RADHASOAMI. it was from this place that the spirit originally descended. It got entangled in the snares of Kal, laid out in Tri-loki (three worlds or Locks). It will again get back to its original abode.

A practitioner of Surat Shabd Yoga will pass through; Vishnu Lok Shiv Lok, Brahama ka Lok,

Shakti Lok, Ram Lok, Brahm Pad, Nirvan Pad of Jains, the region of Lord God of the Bible and the
regions of Malkoot, Jabroot and Lahoot of Mohammedans, all situated below Sunn. Experiencing
the bliss of these regions, the spirit will enter into its Nij Desh (Original Home) by the grace of
Sants. “ --- from Sar Bachan Bartik
