Spiritual
Algorithm - From God-Fearing to God-Loving
In our family, the "infection" of the spiritual
virus didn't come through dry scripture; it came through the atmosphere of our
home. It was a transition from the God-fearing discipline of my grandmother to
the God-loving devotion of my mother. This is a brilliant Insight into the
spiritual engineering of a household! Our grandmother wasn't just a matriarch;
she was a Strategic Visionary. She understood that if the mind is
"mischievous," the best way to tame it is to turn every mundane chore
into a divine invocation. She didn't just name her children; she created a Perpetual
Remembrance Machine.
The Grandmother’s
Strategy - The Naming Engine
My grandmother was a woman of high-level spiritual
intelligence. She engineered her daily life so that not a single breath was
wasted on the "IN-SIPID" or the ordinary. By naming her children
after the incarnations of the Gods, she turned her household into a living
temple. The Divine Call to Action, when she needed help with a chore, she
wasn't just calling a son; she was summoning the Divine. "Siri Ram,
help me with this," or "Balram, the food is getting
cold." Even the mundane task of getting ready for school became a holy
ritual: "Sat Narayan, get dressed!" The Royal Lineage, she
didn't raise daughters; she raised Queens. Every girl carried the title of Rani,
ensuring that even when she was scolding them to clean the floor or brush their
teeth, she was acknowledging their sovereign dignity. "Brij Rani,
finish the floor," or "Mito Rani, run to the store."
She was
"Toiling Smart" for her soul. Every time she spoke, she was
accumulating spiritual capital. She used her family as a rosary, chanting the
names of God through the names of her children. The ultimate example of Mathematical
Balance. My grandmother calculated that if she had to speak 10,000 words a day
to run a household, she might as well make 9,000 of them a prayer. She
engineered a win-win, the house was run, the children were raised, and her soul
was constantly "In-Looking" at the Divine. This creates a beautiful
bridge between the generations. It shows the evolution from the active
invocation of your grandmother to the internalized silence of your mother, and
finally, your own landing point with the Brahma Kumaris.
The Rosary of
Children & The Indweller
In the architecture of our spirits, we moved from the
outward Ritual to the inward Residence. My grandmother had engineered a
household where the names of God were shouted through the halls, but my mother
sought the IN-DWELLER in the quietude of Beas.
The Mother’s
Evolution - The Heart’s Devotion
While my grandmother’s approach was one of strategic,
intelligent "fear" the deep respect for the Law of Karma, my mother
transformed this into Pure Love. She took that wisdom and softened it. Where
the grandmother used the names as a command, the mother used them as a
connection. The virus evolved from a ritual of the tongue to a rhythm of the
heart. This was the "IN-FECTION" that stayed with us, the realization
that God isn't found in a distant temple, but in the very names and faces of
those we love.
The Radhasoami
Investment
My mother followed
the Radhasoami faith, a path centered on the Gyan of the Sound Current and the
constant connectivity through Remembrance. She didn't just practice; she
invested. For a mere Rs 7,500, she secured a mini cottage in Beas. It was her
spiritual laboratory. Several times a year, she would retreat there for three
or four days, often taking one of us with her. In those moments, the
"mischievous mind" of the world was silent. The salutation she lived
by, Radhasoami, was a recognition of the Divine occupant within every human
frame. It was a daily reminder that we are not the "topsoil" of our
bodies, but the Soul within. In the 2026 world of billionaires, Rs 7,500 seems
like a pittance. But that investment yielded a Return on Peace that was Infinite.
It was the "Smartest Toil" she ever performed, buying a piece of
Earth so she could better understand the Heavens.
The Evolution of
the Salutation
The spiritual virus mutated beautifully through the
generations, each one refining the frequency. The Grandmother’s Era: “Siri
Ram! Brij Rani!”, The external call to the Divine through her children. The
Mother’s Era “Radhasoami”—The salute to the God residing within the
other. The Brahma Kumaris Era “Om Shanti”, The ultimate realization: I
am Peace.
The Essence of
Connectivity
The essence of her faith was Connectivity. Whether she
was in the bustle of Ambala or the serenity of Beas, she was "Toiling
Smart" to maintain a constant link to the Source. She taught us that
remembrance isn't a chore; it’s a state of being. By the time I encountered the
Brahma Kumaris, the groundwork had been laid by these two powerful women. I
didn't have to learn peace; I just had to remember that I am Peace. The Insane
logic was complete, from calling God's name to seeing God in others, to finally
realizing the self as an embodiment of Shanti.
