All We Need Is Love
This afternoon, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj spoke at the Science of Spirituality International Meditation Center for the first Sunday program since returning from his recent global travels. He focused on a subject that lies at the heart of both spiritual wisdom and modern wellness research: love.
Recent studies into human well-being have increasingly identified loving relationships, meaningful connections, and a sense of belonging as among the greatest contributors to happiness and the quality of life. The spiritual Master i observed that this insight echoes a truth saints and mystics have proclaimed for centuries. At our core, we are soul, a drop of the Ocean of Love that is God. As such, love is our very essence. The secret to a life well lived, he explained, lies in experiencing that love within ourselves, in our relationship with God, and in our relationship with all of creation.
The saints, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji said, continually encourage us to focus on that which is permanent. Everything in the outer world changes, but God alone remains constant. As we turn our attention toward the Divine within through meditation, we discover the inexhaustible source of love, peace, and joy that has always been present inside us. True wellness and lasting happiness arise from experiencing the love that is innate within us and from gradually beholding the beauty of God.
Through the practice of meditation, seekers learn to connect with the divine Light within, a primal manifestation of the Creator. In the beginning, one catches only a glimpse, yet that glimpse awakens an ever-deepening yearning to know God more fully. As meditation deepens, the soul gradually loses its attachment to the fleeting attractions of the outer world. The things that once appeared so compelling are recognized as temporary and passing. In their place emerges a deeper source of joy and fulfillment, born of direct experience of God’s love.
At the conclusion of the program, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji led the audience in a short meditation. Following this, he shared the timeless message of saints and mystics throughout the ages: “All you need is love.”
