Sant Radhaswami Sahab's Poems

Muraliyaa baaj rahee......(The flute is ringing or playing ....)

 
Poem:

Muraliyaa baaj rahee, Koyee sune sant dhar dhyaan |
so muralee guru mohi sunaayee, lage prem ke baaN ||1||

Pinda chhoD and taj bhaagee, sunee adhar me apoorab taan |
paayaa shabd milee hansan se, khainch chadhaayee surat kamaan ||2||

Yah vanshee satanaam vansh kee, kiyaa ajar ghar amrit paan |
bhanwar gufaa Dhig soham bansee, reejh rahee mai sun-sun taan ||3||

Is muralee kaa marm pichhaano, milee shabd kee khaan |
gayee surat kholaa wah dwaaraa, pahunchyee nij asthaan ||4||

Satta purush dhun been sunaayee, adbhut jinakee shaan |
jin-jin suni aan yah bansee, door kiyaa sab man kaa maan ||5||

Surat samhaarat nirat nihaarat, paay gayee ab naam nishaan |
alakh agam aur Radhaswami, khel rahee ab us maidaan ||


Translation:

The flute (of lord) is ringing or playing (in the inner sky). Sants who practice meditation with focussed attention are able to listen to it.
My Guru made me listen to that divine flute, listening to which I was stung by the arrows of love (for the God). ||1||

I (the soul) fled rising beyond my body and the Universe and heard, in the inner sky, a uniquely astonishing music never heard of earlier.
I pulled or tightened the bow of surat (that is, focussed my attention or current of consciousness) , grasped the Divine Sound and met the sacred souls there. ||2||

This flute is carved of sattanAm (True Name, Holy Name, Divine Word, Divine Sound, True Sound or the Truth). I sipped the nectar (which makes one immortal, taking one beyond the realms or cycles of birth and death) in the sattalok (Realm of Pure Consciousness, or The Quintessential Unstruck Melody).
I am delighted and enchanted by listening to the flute of 'Soham' near the Bhanwar Gufa (the Whirling Cave or Tunnel). ||3||

Identify the secret of this flute. Meeting (hearing) this is tantamount to discovering the mine or the treasure-trove of Sound.
Surat reached the gate where this flute is found, opened the gate and thus found her own (true, original) home. ||4||

I listened to the flute played by the sattapurush (the God) whose glory is striking.
Whoever has reached up to here and listened to this flute has been able to overcome or destroy his ego. ||5||

Taking care of surat (curent of consciousness) gazing intently with rapt attention, I have obtained the symbol or sign (in the form) of the Divine Sound.
Radhaswami Sahab says that now the pure conscious soul is playing on the playground of 'alakh' (the Invisible Region) and 'agam' (the Inaccessible or the Unintelligible Realm). ||6||
