Today, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj presided over the 8th “Global Meditation in Place” event. Prior to the meditation sitting, he spoke first in Hindi and then in English on how we can attain permanent peace and happiness. We all want peace and happiness in our lives, but despite our efforts, life appears to swing between brief moments of happiness and extended periods of turmoil, he said. Worldly joys are fleeting because of the temporary and changing nature of the outer world.
If we want to achieve permanent peace, we need to attach ourselves to that which is permanent and unchanging. This happens as we go within through meditation. When we invert our attention from the world outside, we come in contact with the power of God and begin to partake of the treasures of divinity hidden within each and every one of us.
As we experience the love of God within us, it brings lasting joy, happiness, peace, and calm into our lives. The inner peace that we attain in meditation helps us contribute to outer peace. With these words, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji placed the global online audience in meditation.
