RSSB Guru: Everyone who wants to find God needs a Spiritual Master to guide them on the Path. Do you have actual powers of a guru or not? Questioner: I feel that your answer begs the question. RSSB Guru: I am merely doing the work that my guru dumped on me. Questioner: Then who are you? What is your role? RSSB Guru: No, the real guru is the shabd. Questioner: Are you saying you have actual powers that make you the most evolved spiritual person in the world? And that only you can guide me to the True God? Charan Singh was the RSSB guru prior to the current guru, Gurinder Singh Dhillon. If you aren't, know that shabd refers to a supposed divine power/energy that manifests as sound and light - a sort of universal mystical consciousness. ![]() It should appeal to anyone, though naturally it will resonate most with those who are familiar with those teachings. The comment is absolutely right-on as regards some of the contradictions and absurdities in the RSSB teachings. The guru being referred to is the leader of Radha Soami Satsang Beas (RSSB), a religious organization based in India that I belonged to for 35 years until I deconverted. ( UPDATE: it seemed obvious that this comment is fictional, but in case anyone thinks it is real, it was made up - though there is considerable truth in the fictional exchange.) I'm extolling a comment "j" left today on a recent blog post. No, I'm not talking about God or a holy book.
