System of Beliefs

"In reviewing the content below, please keep the following principle in mind: “Accept what is acceptable but do not reject what is not acceptable.”"

- Dr. Dinshah K. Mehta

The system of beliefs of the Society of Servants of God is based upon thousands of Scripts and Discourses received through Revered Dadaji, Dr. Dinshah K. Mehta, from the Guiding Mind, generally called God. God does not speak in human languages. So, the Scripts and Discourses are a result of Revered Dadaji’s efforts to render spiritual experiences into human thoughts and then convert them into the medium of the human language with which he was most comfortable, which happens to be English. The summary below provides a glimpse of the spiritual mysteries revealed by God through Revered Dadaji, with a view to help genuine seekers better understand some of the mysteries of creation. Hopefully they will commit to making the necessary right effort to grow to know the Divine self which is their true nature and is sustaining their human personality.

Free Will & The Influence of the Anti-Divine

It is written that “God made man in His Image and Likeness” Rev. Dadaji explained that this does not mean that God looks like a man. What it means is that every principle that functions in the universe functions within the human personality. The human personality comprises the human mind, the human ego, and the…

Descent of the Divine Mind

When the vast majority of human beings on earth pursue their own desires which arise out of attachments for thoughts associated with objects of matter and forms of people who are also made of matter, then over several centuries, humanity strays so far away from the Divine Plan which is unfolding through the process of…

The Importance of Principles

Principles never fail. People do when they violate principles. Principles are universal, whereas laws and rules are not. Laws and rules are specific to the medium through which a particular principle manifests. Most people are unaware of the fundamental principles that are supposed to be reflected through various religious rites and rituals. They remain stuck…

Concept of Soul

There is a spiritual aspect associated with all matter. In matter that is geological, Spirit is locked up within matter, whereas in matter with biological life, Spirit is locked up within the matter that makes up the life form. However, there is another spirit entity that is not locked up within matter but is linked…
