Radha Soami Satsang Beas states that if you repeat a series of steps given to you at the time of initiation then you will scientifically reproduce specific circumstances proving the validity of this path towards God-realization. The path is also termed "The Science of the Soul".
Ok, for real science to prosper you need to be able to share your results with your fellow colleagues so that you can prove their existence. You form a hypothesis, experiment, record results and share the findings.
As sharing your personal meditation experiences is forbidden how can this path ever be scientific?
I never went within, visited spiritual regions or met the Master in his astral form. For 12 years I followed this path to the letter meditating longer than 2.5 hours a day sometimes I'd sit for as long as 4 hours without a single ounce of evidence that anything was real on this path.
Explanations from Sant Mat books for my lack of progress were based on a huge store of karma's currently blocking my spiritual evolution which with time maybe 2-3 lifetimes would be cleared resulting in my immediate progress.
Another explanation was that some souls would have no progress during their life but upon death would immediately be taken by the master to higher spiritual regions. Now that's very scientific!
This was one of the great lies for me about this whole path, that it was scientific. There is nothing even remotely scientific about Sant Mat just a whole lot of stories mainly from past masters and disciples which you read, again and again, to keep your hopes up.
The great silence between fellow satsangis sadly stops you asking them if this path is actually working.
This leads me to the conclusion that Radha Soami Satsang Beas is a type of cult where its followers are trapped by silence in a prison of incorrect beliefs.
