EMS Sangat on SEWA, SATSANG and SIMRAN - Oct 9th, 2011



By Harman Singh:  Speech on Sewa

Dear saints today’s topic is sewa. What is sewa, Sewa is selfless service. Dear saints if sewa is selfless service then what selfless service is. Selfless service is the offering and of service to others without any thought whatsoever of reward or self-gratification. Dear saints this is what Baba ji is teaching us that we should be offer and provide our service out of a genuine and deep desire to help and be of service to others. Dear saints Sri Sathya Sai Baba has said

“Selfless service alone gives the needed strength and courage to awaken the sleeping humanity in one's heart. “Dear saint’s selfless service is not just for the other person it is for us. We are inter-dependable on selfless service. We are inter-dependable on selfless service because the other person and I both receive something. They receive the service and we receive the feeling of spirituality or humanity.  Dear saints we have it in our power to make this world a better place. The first step in reaching that goal is to lose ourselves in the service of others.

Anthony Robbins has said “Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life's deepest joy: true fulfillment.” Selfless service has power it gives us bliss and a peace of mind. It helps us connect to god.  The moment we do selfless service we have no ego because where there is ego god cannot reside. Dear saints if selfless service connects us to god then how we can have ego. Selfless service purifies us, and that is the first step to god.

By group of five Young KidsMission Five Principles

1. All assets – physical, mental and material – belong to the Divinity and man, as a mere trustee, should use them as such. One should not feel proud of their possession
2. Not to be proud of one's caste, creed, race, faith and other class distinctions and hate others on this account. All men should be regarded as such. One has to feel himself as one with whole human family and love the mankind.
3. Not to look down upon anybody because of his mode of dress, diet and living.
4. Not to renounce worldly life to become a vagrant recluse or ascetic but to lead family life in accordance with normal social norms and sustain family by honest livelihood.
5. Not to divulge the Divine Knowledge bestowed by the Satguru to others without his permission. Never to be possessed by pride because of enlightenment.

Saints say with love Dhan nirankar ji,

Sewa (service),Simran (prayer) & Satsang (Holy Congregation) are the most precious Divine tools we are provided by our Lordmaster Satguru Baba ji to maintain and remain connected with the divine God's Knowledge(Brahmgyan).If we want to make the best use of these tools we should add one word to all of them and apply them honestly & that word is 'Selfless'.It should be Selfless Sewa,Selfless Simran & Selfless Satsang always.These should be done without any personal or selfish motive.

When we talk about sewa,it is written in our holy book pavita Avtar Bani " Tan man dhan tinnan ton uchhi oh sewa kehlaandi ve ,jo hove nishkaam, nirichhit te Satguru nun bhaandi ai" means: only that sewa whether it is physical,mental or monetary is considered good & accepted by nirankar (God),which is selfless,without any personal motive and is also liked by our Satguru Baba ji.

As far as Simran is concerned,Saint Kabir ji said "Dukh mein simran sab karen sukh mein kare na koi,jo sukh mein simran kare dukh kahe ko hoi" means: everybody do simran in bad time & never in their good time,if one do the simran in his good time bad time won't appear in his life at all.

If we mention Satsang,It is often said "Satsang wo Ganga hai ismein jo nahaate hain paapi se paapi bhi paawan ho jaate hain" means that Satsang is that Ganges(Holy river) which makes an evil person when entered into it into a Good human being(Holy person).  

In conclusion i can say that only our selfless surrender can make us best utilize these divine tools of sewa simran and satsang in our life. Satguru Baba ji said in his vichar in 64th Samagam Sewa inauguration congregation held on Sunday 9th oct,11 today that "Jo auron ke lie nahin jee paate woh apne liye bhi nahin jeetey" means:those who does'nt live for others can't even live for themselves also. Saints say in one loving voice Dhan nirankar ji



Rev. Dr Rai ji:         Main Vichar

Saints say with love Dhan Nirankar Ji


Saints we have gathered here today with the blessings of our Satguru. He mentioned about His Holiness recent visit, which was full of Sewa, Satsang and Simran. 


During His Holiness visit, It was Baba ji advice and encouragement that we should use English more and more for the Satsang. Today most of our speakers spoke in English. English is the first language here, so it is very much needed to convey HH message to the community. Tradition is getting followed here


Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony by Mahatma Gandhi. If we do Sewa, Simran and Satsang, it will bring happiness in our life.


He explained the Simran and its meaning in detail:
Tu hi Nirankar
Main Teri Sharan Haan
Mainu Baksh Lao
First line is that we are inviting or requesting god or nirankar to join us. Second line says that we are inviting Satguru to join us. Third line says that we are seeking for forgiveness from the Guru. Once we invite him and take refuge in him, Our prayer will not go unanswered. The devotees use the Simran to attain spiritual strength.


When we pray, our prayer goes in our mind. Mind is combination of matter and non-matter. Sometime our spirit gets covered under dust. Prayer wipes off the dust and resurrects our spirit. Especially for young kids, if they do simran before sleep, no nightmare will be there. All the bad thoughts will be wiped off because of Simran. It is true that prayers will not go unanswered because cosmos provides us and we get it from all around.


In Punjabi he mentioned that if the Nirankar is all around us then nothing can touch me. He mentioned that when he meet the new people and when he asked them to take Satguru Gyan, normally he get the response that they don’t want to change their Dharma. He further explained that Satguru never change the religion or anyone duties. In order to explain the true meaning of Dharma he took the example of  Lord Krishna, when he said that denounce all the Dharma and take my refugee.


His Holiness is giving his gyan to become a better human first. Do Sewa, Satsang and Simran. He mentioned about blood donation drive and other social services, which mission is doing and how much significance they have in the society.


Dr. Rai shared a very inspirational story when a poor person knock at the door and asking that can I stay with you because I have no place to go. The host thought that it’s fine to stay with him for a day or two. But that poor person did not leave. Host asked him that when you’re leaving? He said I don’t have any place to go and he stayed there for more than a week. Host was furious and asked him to leave immediately. At that moment it is said that Jesus appeared to him and telling him that you have lived with me so many years so why you are getting tired of him.


He also shared a Punjab Shabad from Holy book Granth Sahib:

Man (mind) tu jot saroop hai Apna mool Pehchan, Man Hargeo tere naal hai Gurmatee rang Maan. (Oh man you are part of the holy spirit, know thyself, hi man the Hargeo (God) is always with you but get the knowledge from the guru and enjoy it)

Today I see so many new faces in Sangat.  Please do come more often and live your life in divinity.

Dhan Nirankar ji
