Science of Spirituality a spiritual organization dedicated to transforming lives through meditation

We all want peace in our lives but do not know how or where to find it. We work to procure the necessities of daily life. We exercise and eat right to keep our bodies healthy, and we make efforts to keep our relationships harmonious. Yet, a small downturn in our financial state, a slight pain in the body, or a minor imbalance in our relationships can bring so much turmoil that we struggle to deal with it. We immerse ourselves in activities to secure some temporary happiness, only to be disappointed when things happen contrary to our expectations. Despite doing everything in our power, lasting peace and happiness remain elusive. So, is it possible to find lasting happiness in this world? In his Sunday spiritual discourse, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj focused on this topic.

Everything in this world is changing and, therefore, is temporary. We cannot have lasting happiness by attaching ourselves to that which is temporary. All the wealth, property, and possessions we work so hard to attain in life are left behind and do not go with us when we die. True and lasting joy, peace, and happiness lie within us because God, the Ocean of all bliss, is within us.

This life is a golden opportunity given to us to find our closeness with the Lord and experience the love of God. Sant Rajinder Singh Ji said that this divine love gives us lasting peace, joy, and happiness. To enjoy the love of God, we need to invert and connect with the Creator through meditation. When we do so, we experience a transformation in our lives and come face to face with the lasting joy we have been seeking.

At some point in our lives, having experienced loss or grief or the trials and tribulations of life, we begin to question the meaning of life. We seek to unravel the mysteries of the universe: Who are we? Why are we here? Is there life beyond this life? Where do we go when we die? Today, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj shed light on our existence and our relationship with God. This human existence, he explained, has been given to us so that we can find our way back to our Source, God.

To achieve this goal, it is crucial that we first realize our true essence. Contrary to what we may believe, we are not our body or the face we see daily in the mirror. Our true nature is soul. The soul is a part of God, and it inhabits the physical body; it gives life to the body. When we awaken to our true nature, we remember our Source and the story of our soul’s separation from God. A deep yearning arises within as we experience our separation from God. This develops into a ruling passion to find our way back Home.

So, how do we realize our true essence? We can do so through the process of meditation. In meditation, we withdraw our attention from the distractions of the outer world and focus it within. Embarking on the spiritual journey, we experience ourselves as a soul and then connect with God’s love and Light, which nourishes and strengthens our soul. All the mysteries of life unfold for us, and all questions are answered.
