Caught Up To The Heavens: Tulsi Sahib and the Gnostic Saints of India

Like Galileo discovering new worlds through the lens of his telescope, mystics of the East and West (Jewish mystics, Christian Gnostics, Sufis, and in modern times, the Sants and Radhaswamis of India: Path of Sant Mat) have been trying to tell humanity for eons of something quite similar... about another kind of space... Inner Space. The reason why the contemplative state of being is still hidden from most of us is that, unlike Galileo’s telescope, in order to look through this particular lens, we mustn’t focus on the outward sensory impressions, but go in the opposite direction: into Inner Space. Look through the lens of the third eye to access the world of within. But one has to be willing to take the cap off the lens and have a look, to actually do the meditation. If we do follow the methods of meditation practice revealed by the Masters, with the third eye we will behold the Inner Light, Inner Visions, hear the Sound of Silence, the Holy Stream of Sound -- Music of the Spheres, traverse the heavens for ourselves, and return home to the Beloved Lord of Love, the Lord of the Soul.
Today during this Satsang Without Walls some rare passages from the world of esoteric Santism translated from Hindi, the writings of Sant Tulsi Sahib of Hathras, India and a few of his spiritual successors on this Path of the Masters, Inner Light and Sound Meditation, the Way of the Soul Merging into the Heart of the Beloved, the Ocean of Love in the Nameless Plane (the Anurag Sagar of Sat Purush Anami Radhasoami).
"Only by breaking the bonds of mind, illusion and time is one free from the cycle of transmigration." (Sant Prakash Das)
"Complete Mahatmas, Genuine Saints came to the world in their respective times and kept on emancipating the living beings who were connected with them. On completion of their time, they left the body as per the will of the Lord and went to the Lord and left their work [their spiritual mission] to the other saints when departing." (Sant Prakash Das)
"The true master practices the spiritual Sound and Light that comes from beyond. By these methods of meditation, the soul becomes introverted through regular practice and hears the melodious Sound within, and the soul reaches where the Sound is emanating from. This is the goal of the practice of Surat-Shabd-Yoga." (Sant Prakash Das)
Within This Body - Mystic Poem of Sant Tulsi Sahib of Hathras:
"Within this body breathes the secret essence.
Within this body beats the heart of the Vedas.
Within this body shines the entire Universe, so the saints reveal.
Hermits, ascetics, celibates all are lost, seeking Him in endless guises.
Seers and sages perfectly parrot the scriptures and holy books, blinded by knowledge.
Their pilgrimage, and fasting, and striving but delude.
Despite their perfect practice, they discover no Destination.
Only the Saints who know the body's heart have attained the Ultimate, O Tulsi.
Realize this, and you've found your freedom
(while teachers trapped in tradition know only the mirage in the mirror)."
In Divine Love (Bhakti), Light, and Sound, At the Feet of the Masters, Radhaswami,

"The Anurag sagar and similar cosmological writings attributed to Kabir amount to an esoteric Santism which appears to have been rife within at least one branch of the Kabir-panth during the eighteenth century. Whether this esoteric Santism was more widespread, and whether its origins can be traced even earlier, is not known. What is clear, however, is that a direct line can be drawn from the ideas of Shiv Dayal, the founding Master in the Radhasoami lineages, back through Tulsi Sahib and finally to the esoteric Santism manifest in the Anurag sagar." (Prof. Mark Juergensmeyer, page 234, The Sants, chapter on the Radhasoami Revival)

(Sant Prakash Das) "The darkness of ignorance shall be dispelled, O' Siblings of Destiny, and the lotus of your Heart shall blossom forth. By the Guru's Word, peace wells up... "The being should now understand this; receive knowledge from the Guru, get attached to Simran and Bhajan, and go to the Nameless Region." - Sant Tulsi Sahib
