This evening, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj talked about challenges in life. He said that ups and downs are a part of our lives, as the pendulum of life swings from moments of joy to moments of sorrow and disappointment. When we are in the midst of a challenge it is difficult for us to see the larger picture. We tend to make a bigger deal out of it than it might be in the larger scheme of things. Distraught, we believe that God has forsaken us and that we are alone in our difficulties.
Little do we realize, the spiritual Master said, that God is always taking care of us, and unbeknownst to us is lightening our load. God loves us tremendously and wants the best for us, and at all times we are receiving the help and guidance we need to reach our goal of oneness with God. Once we find our connection with God, he said, we are able to pass this life without being in pain because we know that all that is happening in our lives is for our highest good.
Sant Rajinder Singh Ji explained that we meditate in order to experience this connection. Meditation is the means by which we connect with God and are uplifted into the regions beyond. It is the means by which we solidify our relationship with God. As our connection with God is strengthened, we begin to experience God’s presence in our lives, and we are then able to make rapid progress towards the fulfillment of life’s purpose.
