Connecting With God’s Love
Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj delivered the keynote talks on August 9 and 10 during Veggie Fest (Lisle, Illinois). Veggie Fest Chicago is a family festival celebrating the joy, science, food, and compassion behind the vegetarian/vegan lifestyle, bringing more than 45,000 participants in recent years. The main pavilion was filled beyond capacity on both days, with visitors overflowing into the surrounding areas.
On Day One, the spiritual Master focused on how to de-stress our lives. Remarking on how stress is an inextricable part of modern-day life, he explained how we have within ourselves everything we need to deal with the stresses and challenges of life. In the face of these challenges, it is important to realize, he said, that peace, calm, happiness, and joy come to us when we find the presence of God in our own lives. This happens as we experience God’s love and Light through meditation.
The more we connect with God’s love, the more we awaken to our true nature and our interconnectedness with all creation. In so doing, we begin to live in harmony with all. We are able to deal with challenges in a calm and poised manner, and conscious living becomes a reality in our lives.
On Day Two, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji explored humanity’s timeless quest for happiness. We search for happiness in the outer world, not realizing that everything in this physical world is fleeting. The key to discovering lasting joy is to tap into the wellspring of joy and happiness that awaits us within. We can do this through the process of meditation. As we experience God’s presence in our lives through meditation, we will find that joy and happiness become a part of our lives.
God is always calling out to us, and through meditation, we can enjoy the bounty of God’s love. Concluding his talk on both days, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji introduced the gathering to the technique of meditation on the inner Light of God.
