God Is Our True Shelter and Support
Tonight at the Huda Grounds in Faridabad, India, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj spoke to an audience of tens of thousands. As human beings, he said, we are absorbed in the body and the material world, seeking fulfillment in its fleeting pleasures. When life does not unfold as expected, or when difficulties arise, we turn to a Higher Power. Gradually, we begin to realize that all outer supports are temporary, subject to time, distance, and change.
The only true and lasting support is God within us. By focusing our attention at the inner eye and connecting with the Light through meditation, we begin our journey toward union with the Divine. God alone is our true support and shelter, he said, because all our outer supports, be it family, friends, or material gain, are impermanent and cannot grant us the lasting protection we need. God, on the other hand, is within us at all times.
Quoting the adage, “Our hands to our work, and our hearts to our Beloved,” the spiritual Master urged that while fulfilling our worldly responsibilities, we should keep our attention anchored in God’s remembrance. It is through love and devotion that we transcend the barrier of the mind and move toward union with the Divine. He reminded everyone of the importance of accepting God’s will, trusting that whatever comes to us is ultimately for our highest good. The fountainhead of bliss and spiritual treasures is within us, and we all can partake of these through meditation.
