Holiday Season
Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj
As we head into the holiday season, a season of sharing and caring, we find that there is joy and good cheer in the air. At this time of year, let us also “remember the reason for the season.” There is a special spirit about this season. It is a time when we open our hearts to our fellow beings and take time to be with those we love, think more about others, and try to show them how we feel.
It is a time when we radiate warmth and love to all around us, when we are more patient, more tolerant, more compassionate to others. A time when we give, give, and give to all around us to bring joy and happiness to their lives and to alleviate their burdens. Part of the joyousness of the season is due to these noble qualities of fellowship, love, and selfless giving, which most people exhibit in abundance during this time of year.
If we can capture the spirit of the season and practice these virtues all year round, we will find that we will bring joy and cheer wherever we go. We will help make our lives and the lives of those around us special and joyous every day. Then the happiness, the holiday spirit, and the jolliness we find in people during this season will enliven the atmosphere all year round, and we will make every day of the year a holiday for ourselves and for those around us. I pray that we all have a holiday season enriched by divine love, grace, and eternal bliss.

The Oneness of All Life
True spiritual development comes when we realize that we are all one. With that realization, we no longer feel superior to others. We reach a state in which we recognize that all are important.
The Power of Loving-kindness
Part of our spiritual progress is based on developing a kind spirit. To do this, we need to put ourselves in the shoes of others. It means feeling the joys and pains of others. We can ask ourselves if the words we say to others are the words we want others to say to us.
Nonviolence in Thought
Nonviolence requires that we not injure any living creature either in thought, word, or deed. When it comes to violence in thought, criticizing others is one of the most common forms.
