Has any RSSB SATSANGI read a book, “Life-is-Fair, by Brian Hines (Revised on 8/13/98)”published by RSSB?

If so, does anyone know as to why Mr. Brian Hines and many other SATSANGIS like him could not and did not achieve spiritual success even after having followed the SANTMAT for more than three decades?

One does require to study and ascertain reasons for their failure even after having adopted the SANTMAT and having written spiritual books for RSSB.

Finally many of such SATSANGIS realized the importance of service/love for mankind, even if too late and left RSSB after having so realized, and have given more reliance to KARMA philosophy alone.

All humans are trapped in the birth-death cycle. "Life is Fair" by Brian Hines is a good way to rethink about what we are all doing here on earth, and why.

To sidestep a scattering mind, its usual tendency, requires initiation, love & devotion to The One in charge of taking a specific number of souls back Home as ordered by The Father, following The Path edicts, and loving & devoting to The One sending Nam, ready to guide our soul up, and more.

There is only The Son of The Father's given authority to give The Gift of Nam to students of The Path. The remaining inhabitants on earth not interested in the very difficult purification lifestyle will not yet be called Home. We leave those souls alone to live the way they want.

Initiates are "Called Home" and are also living while practicing dying daily students of The Living Master. We agree to follow His teachings without complaint. It is not an easy Path, but it is far better than enduring the glut of agonies Kal's kingdom gives. As Somerset Maugham wrote in "The Razor's Edge" - paraphrasing: 'The path of spiritual knowledge & goodness is as difficult to walk as the edge of a razor'. How many will say, "I'm not on The Path anymore" only to have their lives fall to pieces?

Spiritual success is measured by The Master, and really has nothing to do with the student. Why? There is no known way to realize what is a success and what is failure. To measure how much karmic debt is owed is impossible.

For example, if you were to jovially say, "Hello" to a person and they reply is polite, but elicits fierce rage in the one you didn't see off to the side who hates jovial people was provoked. Their feelings are hurt deeply, as they feel terribly enangered. Believe it or not, you must pay for that, but have no way of knowing to what measure The Living Master does!

No one leaves Sant Mat. They think that once they gain the gift of initiation, meditate for a short while and get little back that they are free to walk away from the "Boredom", "Waste of my time", "All I see is dark", "He's not in there!" and so forth. Nothing is farther from "The Truth". The Living Master came to collect those souls The Father Command and He cannot and will not stop until that "I'm not on The Path anymore soul" is safely back Home.

No one who promises to follow The Path begins it and then quits. Hard to believe?

A man received The Gift (more "Treasure") of Initiation one day. He felt pretty good for the first 3 weeks, and gradually boredom set in. He stopped meditating, began eating eggs, then meat because his family harangued him. One day, he fell deathly ill and was admitted to hospital. The doctors couldn't find the problem and as the man's health drastically declined, they called in the family to make preparations for his last wishes. In the night, Baba Ji came to the man's bedside saying, "This Path is most difficult, but I have always loved you and refuse to see you suffer like this. Won't you promise to love the goodness inside yourself and come with Me to Sach Khand?" The man was so beside himself that he'd forgotten how ill and nearing death he had been that his full attention turned to Simran & Dhyan. That same night and for the first time, the man found Baba Ji within and Radiant. He later asked his wife, "Can you believe it! The Master was here to see me! Did you see Him!?" The loving wife was sure that her husband was slipping away into a fever but played along, "Yes, dear. I saw Him...yeah" Miraculously, the man recovered to perfect health.

Baba Ji encourages us to be ready for anything while we live in Kal's kingdom, as there is no knowing what will befall us. Our security is always found in Simran & Bhajan and while meditating, in Simran & Dhyan and eventual Nirat. He promises us that with love, devotion and consistent meditation, we will find Him inside in Radiant Form.

Selfishly, we all must attend to our own love & devotion toward Baba Ji. He is always going to be there for us, especially if we allow Him to do His job of getting our soul back to The Father in Sat Lok. Worrying about what others on The Path do is of no use. The Master encourages that we focus our mind, body and soul on purification. These efforts prepare us for the "In & Up" journey while in the presence of His Radiance.
