A Life Well Lived

August 14, 2021

In his web broadcast today, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj spoke of the life we need to live to fulfill the purpose for which we have been given this human existence.

Our soul has been separated from God, its Source, for eons. To find its way back to God, it must be freed from the shackles of this physical world. We need to lead a life filled with the godly virtues of love, humility, truthfulness, kindness, nonviolence, and compassion for this to happen. Curbing our ego, we should seek to serve our fellow beings selflessly and bring happiness and joy to their lives.

When life does not go our way, we should not give in to anger or place blame on others. Suchlike behavior creates turmoil for ourselves and others and does not help. Rather than bind ourselves to the world with thoughts about what is not right, we need to cultivate an attitude of gratitude, knowing that all that happens in our life is happening under God’s sweet will. This realization only dawns on us as we experience God’s love and awaken to the realities of life through meditation. As we lead lives in this manner, we begin to make progress on the spiritual path and experience the soul’s merger in God.
