*WHY WE MUST FIND THE LIVING SAT GURU OF THE TIME* Radhasoami Mat is Guru Mat, and the Sant Sat Gurus have all stated that we must find the living Sat Guru of time. Soami Ji Maharaj said that “He who will sincerely seek the Sat Guru shall, without doubt, find him.”, and that “Sat Guru is Nitya Avtar, that is, always present in this world as incarnation.” In other words, He is currently with us now in the flesh, but we must seek Him in order to find Him. This is the true essence of the Radhasoami Faith as testified by the words of our beloved Sant Sat Gurus: SOAMI JI MAHARAJ (Sar Bachan Prose): “Unless and until you are firmly attached to the Perfect Guru of the time you will never be saved from Chaurasi (transmigration). And even if you profess to fol-low bygone Sants and rely on them, but do not have faith in the Perfect Sat Guru of the time… you shall not escape Chaurasi; for the Sants who have lived in the past have given the same instructions - take the Saran (shelter) of the Perfect Satguru of the time so that you achieve your object.” “For in all respects the perfect Sat Guru of the time is the highest. From those who have passed away, even though they were great and perfect, nothing can be gained now. Whatever will be gained, it shall be from the Sant Sat Guru of the time.” / “Those who have been born as human beings but do not make a quest for the Sat Guru shall go to Chaurasi. They shall not get human form again. For this reason, now is the opportunity to work for attaining salvation. If this opportunity is lost, it will not come again.” “So long as you do not serve the Guru of the time and engage in Sumiran and Bhajan of Name, you will never attain the Name…” / “It is impossible to attain the goal without the Sat Guru of the time. Whether one has spiritual yearning or not, Sat Guru is necessary...” / “Complete belief in the supreme Father is not possible without meeting the living Sat Guru.” HUZUR MAHARAJ (‘Prem Patra Discourses’): “Great is the necessity of the Sat Guru of the time in Sant Mat or Radhasoami Faith. Without Him, no one can learn the secrets of the Supreme Being, the Path, the method of proceeding on that Path and the rules of conduct which must be observed by a devotee...” MAHARAJ SAHEB (‘Discourses on Radhasoami Faith’): “‘When the Sat Guru of time departs, He appoints someone as His successor in whom He reincarnates’, or, in other words, He reincarnates in His Nij Ansh, not in anyone else. But people neither read nor like to read this Bachan. Out of obstinacy and for fear of loss of prestige, they do not obey it nor follow the Sat Guru of time. They will have to willy nilly accept it in the next life.” BABUJI MAHARAJ (‘Discourses’) “Without adopting the Saran of the perfect Guru of the time, Jiva’s task can never be accomplished. Nothing will be gained by adhering to past spiritual guides… Great is the need and importance of the Guru of the time. Without the Guru of the time, no progress is possible. Babuji Maharaj has observed, “It is not possible that there should be no one in the Radhasoami Faith to sustain it and keep it going. It is certainly true that this Faith cannot continue without the guidance of an Adept… So long as the time is not ripe for functioning openly, He (the living Sat Guru) will certainly remain un-manifest, but will accord help and support incognito. He will continue to function through someone. At no time shall the Radhasoami Faith be without an Adept. It can never go on along the lines of other faiths and religions in which traditional sermons and discourses are given by someone acting as a priest.”
