"The heavens and the earth will roll up in your presence, and whoever is living from the Living One will not see death." (Gospel of Thomas, 111) "Seek to see [contemplate] the Living One as long as you live, otherwise you might die and then try to see the Living One, and you will be unable to see." (Gospel of Thomas, 59) "Seek To See God Now -- Liberation During This Life" -- Mystic-Poem of Sant Tulsi Sahib "In this life the concept of salvation all describe; To meet the Lord by dying while living, none discloses. They all speak of the goal of salvation after death; How to attain it while living, no one says. Were they to reveal the method of attaining release while living, Then alone would Tulsi be convinced of their words. Who speak, after seeing with their own eyes, and teach the method of salvation during life, Are of the stage and stature of Saints, for they reveal the quintessence of the soul." "Within This Body" -- Mystic-Poem of Sant Tulsi Sahib "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 say. 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)." Charts of the Heavens: https://SantMatRadhasoami.Blogspot.co...
