This Sunday, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj spoke of the alchemy of the spiritual journey – a journey within that is available to each and every one of us. Living in these modern times, amidst the turmoil and distractions of our lives, we wonder, he said, if spirituality is within reach.

Saints and spiritual Masters come to remind us that there is a higher purpose to our existence, and that each of us can embark on the spiritual journey to realize this purpose. Likening this journey to mining for treasure, he explained how we are shown where to dig and how to dig for the treasures that we seek within. Additionally, we are given the tools we need to discover the treasures that we seek. The tool, he explained, is the technique of meditation. While a spiritual Master can guide us in myriad ways, the actual digging for treasure must be done by us, he said. We are the only ones who can meditate for us.

As we meditate, and as we connect with the divine Light and Sound of God within, our imperfections gradually fade away and we emerge transformed by the alchemy of God’s Love.
