It wasn’t until he abruptly quit his job and moved to Africa that he began questioning everything he had taken for granted.

Life does not consist of a series of activities. Life responds to principles rather than beliefs. The fact that you believe in something does not automatically result in your achieving that thing. Not all who believe in riches eventually get rich. And not everyone who worked hard to get something finally gets it. Wishing does very little in achieving the desired result. When wish is coupled with action, progress is attained, yet results are not guaranteed.

1 Timothy 2:1-4 “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, (2) for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. (3) For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, (4) who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” In the above quoted passage of scripture the Holy Spirit exhorts the church to pray for heads of state and all those who are in authority.

This book provides an introduction into the fascinating life and work of one of the great Indian mystics of the 19th century, who was a contemporary of Sri Ramakrishna. It is surprising that Rai Salig Ram, who is such a pivotal figure in the history of Radhasoami, is not better known among satsangis in the Beas related branches of the movement. In contrast, in the Agra connected satsangs - Soami Bagh, Dayal Bagh, and Peepal Mandi - Huzur Maharaj (as Salig Ram is honorifically called) is deeply revered since he is regarded as the chief successor and Gurumukh of Shiv Dayal Singh.
