Surat- shabad- yoga explains sadhana, the third cornerstone of the perfect science. The link with the inner self is not to escape from life and its responsibilities. The only way to reach the Lord is through freeing oneself from all other attachments like karma or desire, krodh or anger, lobh or greed, moh or attachment and ahankar or pride. Sadachar, which requires self-discipline, stands for the good and humble life, suggesting purity and simplicity. The first condition leads to the necessity of having a true guru who is not only adept in the mystic science of surat- shabad-yoga but also provides a link between the individual and the Supreme Reality. Three conditions- satguru, sadachar and sadhana - must be fulfilled before attaining the stage of surat- shabad yoga. The Radha Soami faith, also known as Sant tradition, revolves around guru-bhakti and the technique of surat- shabad- yoga is considered the best way to realise the power.
The word 'Radha' refers to the name of the first or primal ray of surat or consciousness and Soami is the original source of the stream of Shabad. There is one way to detach the mind - to give the magical touch of the Nam or word, through the technique of surat-shabad-yoga as highlighted by the Radha Soami faith. Self-realisation is considered as the first essential step towards God-realisation. And when the soul begins to overcome the mind, it begins to know itself. The soul was originally pure but because of its association with the mind, tarnished with desires and attachments, it has become impure. The soul is in the same condition as that of the rain. When, however, as a result of the heat of the suns rays it rises as vapour, it merges in its source, the clouds. It then completely loses sight of its original purity, and begins to think that it is itself nothing but muddy earth. Water in the clouds is pure but when it falls on the ground as rain, it mixes with mud and gathers impurities.
