In his web broadcast today, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj spoke of our true goal in this human life.

There comes a time in each of our lives when we wonder why we are here. Many of us think that we are here to take care of our physical bodies, to amass worldly wealth, or to strengthen our intellectual capabilities. How we lead our lives and where we focus our attention is based on our understanding of our life’s goal. Very few, the spiritual Master said, realize that this life has been given to us by God so we can understand who we are, and so we can experience God.

Expounding on a verse from the poetry of Sant Darshan Singh Ji Maharaj, the spiritual Master said we do not have to search on the outside to find God. God gives our soul this human birth and equips it with all that is required to go back to God. Both God and the way back to God are within us.

It is not difficult to find God; all we need to do is take our attention from the outer illusionary world and focus it on the inner worlds where God resides, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji said. This process of inverting our attention is called meditation. As our concentration improves, we take steady steps on our journey back to God.
