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

From time immemorial, saints and spiritual Masters have reminded us that God does not reside in some faraway place that requires arduous pilgrimages. God resides within us and is within reach. Why, then, is it so difficult to find God? In his spiritual discourse today, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj explained that when we focus on the outer world, we open ourselves up to all the difficulties, pain, troubles, attractions, and distractions that come with it.

Believing we are the doers and in control of our lives, we take on the responsibility of ensuring life goes according to our plan. This causes worry, stress, and strain and prevents us from stilling the mind. We need to still our mind if we are to embark on the journey within through meditation so that we can experience God. Thus, despite the desire to know God, we remain unsuccessful in our quest.

It is crucial to have faith. When we have faith in God, we know that the Lord takes care of us. We no longer see ourselves as the doers but realize that God the Creator is the Doer, and we accept God’s plan for us. When we live in the Creator’s will, we no longer worry about the past or the future. We go with the flow. Life becomes smoother, with less stress and strain and less turmoil. Our meditations are more fruitful, and we find it easier to achieve the stillness required to go within and experience God’s love and Light for ourselves. Sant Rajinder Singh Ji said that the more we meditate, the more our faith is strengthened. When we trust in God to give us what is right for us, our spiritual progress comes in leaps and bounds.

This afternoon, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj explained that many toxins can impact us at the level of the body, the mind, and our emotions. In recent decades,  there has been a lot of emphasis on detoxing the body to free it of toxins caused by our lifestyle choices. It is important to realize that some of the toxins we believe impact our body actually come from the mind. These toxins of the mind arise from various spheres of life, such as our work, relationships, and neighborhoods. Yet they are not limited to our physical interactions. Toxins can also come from the world at large. Happenings worldwide can cause fear, stress, and anxiety within us that can affect our body.

Toxins of the mind distract us and keep us from our primary goal of finding our way back to God. To resolve this problem, we need to get to the origin of the toxins, and this is where meditation comes in. Meditation helps us defocus from the distractions that cause these toxins by focusing our attention on the treasures of tranquility, joy, and bliss within ourselves. Meditation helps us home into God’s love. As we experience this divine love, we are strengthened and can better handle the turmoil of the outer world.
