This Sunday, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj delivered a touching talk at the International Meditation Center on the occasion of Mother’s Day. Our mothers are our first teachers in life, he said, teaching and guiding us in every aspect of life as they mold us into young capable adults.

The relationship and bond between child and mother is a lifelong one, and the love that a mother has for her child is the greatest love of this world. When we think of this love, we are reminded of our relationship with God the Creator, who is our Eternal Parent.

On this Mother’s Day, let us resolve to not just appreciate our mothers today, but every day, for all that they have done for us, the spiritual Master said. Let us also remember God and recognize all the gifts that God has blessed us with. Let us take steps to find our way back to God so that we can fulfill the purpose for which we have been given this human existence.
