on Sant Mat or Radhasoami Faith
1-2
  1. What is Sant Mat or Radhasoami Faith?
    Sant Mat or Radhasoami Faith is the life of all religions of the world. It is the end of all learning and knownledge. It has been started by Sants in all compassion and kindness upon the Jivas (humanity). This is the religion, by following which, recognition of the Supreme Being Radhasoami can be had, way to reach Him can be learnt, secrets of the regions or stages on the Path can be obtained, and true bliss can be achieved. This Faith is meant expecially for those persons who are anxious to meet the Supreme Being Radhasoami and who are desirous of the welfare and redemption of their soul. This religion will not benefit those, nor will they understand it, who are imbued with worldly desires, honour and reputation or who have made religiion a source of their livelihood, or for whom religious discussions are a pastime. Sants call this faith or religion "Surat Shabd Yoga".
  2. What is Surat?
    As Sant Mat or Radhasoami Faith is the life of all religions, in the wsame way Surat is the life of all bodies and objects. It is called Rooh (spirit) or Jivatma (soul). All bodies, mind and senses are functioning by the vitality provided by Surat (spirit). It contains all learning and knowledge, and art and workmanship. Whoeve earnestly and attentively takes up any work, and applies himself laboriously to it, acquires a lot of wondrous powers and succeeds in satisfying his desires. The seat of Surat (spirit) in the Pind (body) is behid the eyes, and its soruce is Adi Shabd (the first manifestation of the Supreme Being).
