Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj delivered his Sunday spiritual discourse at Kirpal Bagh in Delhi. He elaborated on how experiencing God’s love in meditation paves our path to permanent happiness. This human birth is a golden opportunity for us to find our way back to God. Yet, we fritter away our precious breaths by chasing the fleeting joys and comforts of the outer world.

Living at the level of our physical senses, we have lost sight of our purpose for being alive, he said. When we take our attention away from the world outside and focus it within through meditation, we are able to experience our true nature as soul and realize God. With the experience of the inner Light and Sound of God, we reach a state of equilibrium and equipoise. Outer difficulties lose their sting and outer joys their pull. We begin to see outer happiness and despair as they truly are—as mere passing trifles, and instead begin to bask in the reservoir of everlasting joy and happiness that awaits us within.

This afternoon, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj presided over the concluding session of the 32nd International Human Unity Conference in Delhi. Each year, this program coincides with the birth anniversary of Sant Kirpal Singh Ji Maharaj (1894-1974). This year marked the 125th birth anniversary. The 3-day conference brought together tens of thousands from all around the world, to reflect on the life and teachings of Sant Kirpal Singh Ji and to celebrate the common denominator of God’s love that binds us all together.

In his concluding Presidential address, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji remarked on how we have forgotten our connection with God. It is through meditation and leading a life embedded in ethical virtues that we can find our way back to God. As we experience God’s light within us, we also recognize this light within others. Gradually, we awaken to the oneness of all creation. Thus, meditation paves the way to human unity.
