Many thousands from throughout India and the world gathered at Sant Darshan Singh Ji Dham, Burari, Delhi, to conclude the 28th Global Conference on Mysticism. (September 13-20, 2024). The day coincided with International Meditation Day and the birthday of Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj.
In his address, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji detailed how to adopt spirituality and love as a way of life to fulfill the purpose of this human existence. As human beings, he said, we seek bliss and peace in outer transitory pleasures. But, those who seek God are searching for the Light that stays with us forever and for lasting bliss and peace. This enduring joy cannot be found in the outer world marred by sorrow, tension, and confrontation, said the spiritual Master. Permanent peace and bliss reside within us and can be ours through meditation. God is an Ocean of all peace and love, he said, devoid of even the slightest turmoil. To merge in this Ocean, we need to go within. “If you don’t go within, you go without,” he cautioned, emphasizing that to merge in God’s Ocean of love, we must walk the path of love because only those who love find God.
Our life has a definite purpose, and that purpose is to find God, meet God, and merge in God. For this, we need to deflect our attention from the turmoil of outer life and focus it within. By collecting our sensory currents at the third eye through meditation, we can connect with God’s divine Power. It is up to us to live our life in a manner that is in alignment with the teachings of the saints, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji said. If we do so, then we can wake up each morning and celebrate a new day, a “birthday,” that brings us evermore closer to God.
