Spiritual Discourses of Baba Somanath, Disciple of Huzur Baba Sawan Singh -- Sant Mat Satsang Podcast Edition of Spiritual Awakening Radio With James Bean
Today on this Sant Mat Satsang Podcast edition of Spiritual Awakening Radio we explore a spiritual discourse of Baba Somanath on successfully reaching our spiritual goals, not being talked out of our hopes and ideals, not giving up on our meditation practice, but rather, finding our life purpose following the spiritual path and being a successful practitioner of inner Light and Sound Meditation (Surat Shabd Yoga). This particular satsang discourse of Baba Somanath, based on mystic verses of the Sar Bachan Poetry, is quite informative about the role of the mind or ego acting as an extension of universal mind given the name Kal Niranjan by some, and the Demiurge by others, the negative power, great deceiver or lord of illusion. The quest of the true disciple (satsangi, initiate) is to remain focused in a realm of endless distractions, to be spiritually awake in a culture of slumber or negligence, to always remember God and our spiritual practice in this world of forgetfulness (maya, illusion, samsara).
"Sawan Singh gathered a large following of disciples from around the world. Among his devotees were Dr. Julian P. Johnson, Dr. Pierre Schmidt, Col. C.W. Sanders, Sant Kirpal Singh (founder of Ruhani Satsang), Sant Darshan Singh (founder of Sawan-Kirpal Mission), Baba Somanath, Pritam Das, and several government officials in both the British and Indian ranks." (Enchanted Land, by David C. Lane) One can also include on this list another prominent disciple of Sawan Singh by the name of Shah Mastana Ji.
