“Avalokiteshvara Buddha (Quan Yin), the hearer and answerer of prayer, has visited all the Buddha-lands of the ten quarters of the universe and has acquired transcendental powers of boundless freedom and fearlessness and has vowed to emancipate all sentient beings from their bondage and suffering. … How sweetly mysterious is the Transcendental Sound of Avalokiteshvara! Is is the subdued murmur of the sea-tide setting inward. Its mysterious Sound brings liberation and peace to all sentient beings who in their distress are calling for aid.” (Surangama Sutra, A Buddhist Bible, Dwight Goddard)

Overcoming Distracting Thoughts In Meditation
In Sant Mat spirituality, meditation is successfully practiced when we keep the proper meditation posture, leave behind all our burdens, thoughts, worries, and worldly distractions behind, and focus all of our undivided attention on going within by way of the third eye center so that we may reach that Sacred Secret Place of the Most High where Divine Grace is flowing. Rising to THE PLACE WHERE GRACE IS FLOWING is a great way of describing the benefit of Surat Shabd Yoga - Inner Light and Sound Meditation - as being a kind of inner baptism or letting the waters of Divine Grace flow over the soul. (There is Light and Sound Within You.)

Missing Fragment of the Gospel of Mary Discovered?
Dr. Sarah Parkhouse has made a discovery that is quite noteworthy for anyone interested in the Gospel of Mary. One of the hundreds, if not thousands, of small fragments of papyri found in the garbage dump Oxyrhynchus, Egypt, just might be a missing part of the Gospel of Mary. The fragment includes a description of baptism, which is closely related to the ascent of the soul in the portions of the gospel we already have.

Requirements For Initiation Into Inner Light and Sound Meditation (Sant Mat, Surat Shabd Yoga) - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast
“The tenth gate is the gathering point of consciousness. Therein lies the path for our return. The tenth gate is also known as the sixth chakra, the third eye, Bindu, the center located between the two eyebrows. This is the gateway through which we leave the sense organs’ gates, enter the divine realms, and finally become established in the soul. We travel back from the Realm of Darkness to the Realm of Light, the Light to the Divine Sound, and the Realm of Sound to the Soundless State. This is called turning back to the Source.” (Swami Santsevi Ji Maharaj)
“From time to time, great Saints come with the Grace of the Almighty, and They direct the lost souls and get them connected with the Almighty through the Sound, Surat Shabd, and guide them on the Path back. In India, there are several ways of worship. But the Saints have only three practices for getting back to the Almighty. They are Satsang *, Seva **, and Bhajan Simran ***.” (Baba Ram Singh)
Notes: * Satsang: Association With Truth; ** Seva: Selfless Service; *** Bhajan Simran: The Meditation Practices of Sant Mat;

The focus of the Sant Satgurus, the Saints of India (Santmat, RadhaSoami, The Path of the Masters) is not upon constructing earthly temples, building organizational structures, or temples of the mind. Rather, they guide their students into entering the Temple of the Spirit. The Portal or Doorway to this Temple is within, at the Third Eye Center. Masters say: “An intense longing to meet the Supreme Lord during one’s lifetime is the first and foremost qualification for Initiation. ‘Seek, and ye shall find’, is the principle’” (Kirpal Singh). Being properly initiated into the secrets of meditation – the Mysteries of the Kingdom of the Heavens (diksha/deeksha) – by a living Master is the beginning of the Inward Journey. Then, go and do the meditation.
In Divine Love (Bhakti), Light, and Sound, At the Feet of the Masters, Radhasoami,

The First Step on the Spiritual Path is Doing Simran - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast: https://santmatradhasoami.wordpress.com/2024/02/27/the-first-step-on-the-spiritual-path-is-doing-simran-spiritual-awakening-radio-podcast
In Sant Mat, the Path of the Masters, simran is the art of repeating a name or names of God in one’s mind (manas jap) for the purpose of Remembering the Divine — Practicing the Presence of God. It is a way to remain spiritually awake in a world of slumber, a way to remain centered and focused instead of being thrown off-center by the influences of maya (illusion). In this Path of the Saints and Mystics this spiritual exercise of repeating or chanting spiritually charged Names of God is done not only in meditation practice, but as often as possible throughout the day as a way to spiritualize all aspects of life, inner and outer. In Sant Mat, the simran (remembrance) of worldly thoughts is controlled through the Simran (remembrance) of the Charged Names, repeated by a satsangi throughout the day and when sitting for meditation as a means of collecting the thought currents at the Third Eye Center; also used as a password to higher planes and protection from Negative Power influences. (Remembrance, Awakening to the Positive Power)
The First Step on the Spiritual Path is Doing Simran - Spiritual Awakening Radio Podcast
Sant Kirpal Singh: “Simran helps in the withdrawal of spirit-currents from the body. In Simran lies the seed that helps in the development of the soul.” “Simran is a weapon against all dangers. It acts as a password to all spiritual planes. It gives strength and sustenance to the body and mind during trouble and affliction, and brings the soul near the Master.” “The five holy Words are to be repeated mentally during meditation.”
“I give you this advice only because if you will do Simran while you are doing any other work, when you sit for meditation you won’t have to sit for a long time repeating the Names to bring your attention to the seat of the soul. As soon as you sit for meditation, within a few minutes you will go up.” (Santji - Ajaib Singh Ji)
