Today during this Satsang Without Walls, this online spiritual meetup, we explore the seven elements of spiritual practice (sadhana, meditation): 1) The Worthiness of a Spiritual Seeker; 2) The Mantra (Simran, Sacred Names) Imparted by an Accomplished Teacher at the Time of Initiation; 3) Without Essential Information No Successful Meditation! (Necessary Knowledge Prior to Meditation Practice); 4) Resolute Practice: A. Japa/Ajapa Japa: Recitation of the Sacred Name or Names given by the Master, B. Manas Dhyana (Mental Focus on the Form of the Deity or visualization of the form of one's spiritual teacher, Sant Satguru), C. Drishti Yoga (The Yoga of Inner Seeing -- Inner Light Meditation), and D. The Yoga of Sound (Inner Sound Meditation practice, Surat Shabd Yoga, Meditating upon the Sound Current); 5) Bhakti: Devotion -- "For the Love of God" as Steve Vai has said; 6) The Merits of Past Lives -- Favorable Winds of Change; and, 7) The Will of God: Divine Grace. Forgiveness overcomes the imperfections of the whole world and the cosmos beyond. The lower realms may be governed by law, karma, destiny, and the cruel hand of fate, but there is Divine Grace from Above that always seeks to bust into the worlds of time and space to liberate souls!

Also today there are readings from: the Padavali (Mystic Poetry, Hymns) of Maharshi Mehi Paramhans (Padavali # 52: "O traveler! Seek the path that lies within you. You and your Beloved Lord reside in the same body"; The Need for a Living Master So We May Be Initiated into the Secrets of Spiritual Practice: featuring Saint Augustine's surprising quote from the Gospel of Thomas! (Saying # 52) on paying attention to "The Living One"; an observation by George Arnsby Jones on the need for the living "guidance of a spiritual adept"; on the role of the living Master according to Huzur Maharaj Rai Saligram in his Prem Bani Radhasoami, volume IV; a couple of recent Sant Mat Satsang Discourses of Baba Ram Singh on consistent daily spiritual practice (Simran, Dhyan, and Bhajan); a verse from the Gnostic Gospel of Mary Magdalene; a line of poetry from Darshan Singh's collection known as, Love's Last Madness; Swami Ram Bihari Lal's classic, The Way Out Is IN; and a reading describing the NDE-like (Near Death Experience or Out-Of-Body/OOBE type) meditation practice of Sant Mat according to Yogani Mataji from the book, Enchanted Land.

In Divine Love (Bhakti), Light, and Sound, At the Feet of the Masters, Radhaswami,
