This afternoon, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj returned to the Regency Antilia Grounds in Ulhasnagar for a public program. His spiritual discourse focused on the importance of understanding our purpose in life and how we can achieve this purpose.

We lead our lives at the level of the senses in a dream-like state, he said. All our precious time is spent gathering knowledge of the outer world. We take this world to be all there is, and focus our efforts on caring for the needs and desires of the body and the mind. It is only through the teachings of the saints and mystics that we realize that this world is not our true home, and we are not the body or the mind.

Sant Rajinder Singh Ji said that through meditation we learn that the purpose of this human birth is to realize our true nature as soul and to realize God. As we connect with the divine Light and Sound of God within, we experience God’s love and the beauty of inner regions. We realize that the same power of God that shines within us is also within everyone else. We then embrace all as an extension of our own selves, removing the walls of duality that are created by our ego. We begin to live life with a smile on our face, because we are fearless in the knowledge that God is always with us.
