Preface

My
Submission was written as an Introduction to Gurmat Sidhant (Philosophy of the
Masters), which sets out the teachings of the Great Master, Maharaj Sawan
Singh, the Master at the Radha Somei Satsang ?Beas from 1903 until his passing
in 1948. Since it presents a summary of the teachings of the Great Master that
is both concise and complete, the English version was published as a separate
book in 1959. This edition is a new English translation from the original
Punjabi.

Like
the encyclopaedic two-volume original, My Submission is also divided into two
parts. The first part, Spirituality and Religion, explains the fundamentally
spiritual nature of humanity and our place in the creation. The Great Master
shows how spirituality unites people while religion divides them. He emphasizes
that it is not theory and concepts but the practical application of
spirituality that is essential if one is to derive any lasting benefit. He
concludes this first part with a discussion of the three pillars of spirituality:
satsang (the company of someone who is alive with the spirit of God); Satguru
(the true living Master who embodies that spirit); and Sat Nam (the true Name,
which permeates and sustains the entire universe, referred to in the Bible as
the Word, Holy Ghost, Spirit, Name or Logos).

In
the second part, Spiritual practice, the Great Master describes the actual
practice of Surat Shabd Yoga, the merging (yoga) of soul (surat)
in the Word (shabd). By listening to the Shabd or Nam, our soul merges with God,
