Bal Sangat was started by reading the Shabd 10 and Shabd 50 from Avtar Bani.
Shabd 10:
The sun, the moon, the stars alight
Shall fade away with life of light.
The earth, the fire, the water vast.
Will follow suit and shall not last.
The air the jivathe ether so fine.
For their life depend on time.
All the nines are basic part.
The tenth pervades them, primordial lord.
Negate creation the rest is naught.
It is, Avtarthe Formless lord
Shabd 50:
I crave thee Master, sustainer God.
All my pessessions, are thine God.
To children thee are parent lord.
With thy blessings is joyous accord.
Thee art wonderful out of grasp.
Stay of ours the highest lord.
My stature, state thee know O God.
The meak are for thee, Avtar.
Some of the excerpts are below
Poem by Puneet ji:
There is a treasure in every human being.
It is in everyone's life
It is God's gift -it is called Sharing
Don't ignore it in the course of your life.
It will make you wealthier than money.
The lonely, the sick, the old, the young and the child
will be the receivers.
Sharing other's sorrow.
Kind words of understanding.
Helping others in need.
O what a comfort in sharing !
The will of sharing is in the human heart
In the heart guided by GOD !

Saints, say with love Dhan
Nirankar ji
Dear saints as we all know
that today topic is “Sharing”. And as we
also know that Christmas is also coming soon. Christmas is all about Sharing.
During Christmas we share presents and love with our friends and family. But
Baba ji teaches us that every day we should share our love and our presents
with everyone no matter who they are. Dear saints, but the most important
present I think we should share is our “God
Knowledge - Gian”. Someone has said “If you have knowledge, let
others light their candles in it.” Dear saints, I would just like to end saying
that we are so lucky we have the knowledge or the light and we should remember
to always share this light with everyone.
Dhan Nirankar ji Merry
Christmas !!
Speech

Dear Saints, say with love
Dhan Nirankar ji
Christmas sharing has served
as an ideal example of a true community act of caring for others. On a large
scale each holiday season, dozens of private small business, corporations,
churches, schools and other organizations combine their volunteer efforts to
make the holidays a little brighter for families facing tough economic times in
the surrounding communities. Many of these same donors provide newly purchased
gifts or food to help this very worthy cause. One such example of sharing was
witnessed by all of us. The local TV channel 13 representing CBS launched a “Coats for kids drive”. They
collected 25,000 coats and distributed them among needy kids. Such
opportunities help to tie the community together. Some organizations also
secure funding from the government or private companies for funding such worthy
causes. These funds are applied entirely towards the purchases of gifts for
children and food for families. On a small scale people exchange greeting cards
wishing their friends and relatives a happy and joyous New Year. People get
together over dinners and prayers. In such gatherings we get a chance to thank
our creator, the GOD for giving us everything.
There is a famous quote that
says “Thousands of candles can be it from a single candle, and the life of
the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.”
Every day we learn in the
sangat that we should be kind and loving to everyone. The next day when we go
to school or meet with our friends, we share the same happiness with them by
speaking softly and nicely to them. When our friends see those kinds of
attitudes from us, they appreciate us. By sharing our happiness with our friends
we have not lost anything but have gained a lot. We gain more friends that will
like to join us in playing as well as in studying.
There is another quote
saying “Sharing food with another human being is a kind act the should not taken
lightly.”
Members of the SNMTRacy
conducted a food drive and collected canned foods and other supplies worth
thousands of dollars, which was donated to McHenry house family shelter for the
homeless in Tracy. All devotees of the mission contributed in the noble act.
The act of giving and sharing is in line with the principles of the mission
which preaches love and Universal Brotherhood. Management of the shelter was
thankful with the gesture of love and care shown by the members of the Sant
Nirankari Mission.
Dhan Nirankar ji Merry
Christmas !!
Speech
by Sabnit ji:
Sharing is Caring and it
make other person smile and share back with you. It helps people in the society
and homes. It’s a novel act of sharing with the unfortunate people, sometime
they have little or nothing. Baba ji always teaches us in his vichar that
express to love all. So in that case sharing is another way to express
love. Sharing make the other person act
or react positively and this way mutual coexistence takes place.
Main Vichar - by Dhruv Sagar ji
Dear Saints, say with one loving voice, Dhan Nirinkar Ji.
BOL SATGURU BABA HARDEV SINGH JI MAHARAJ KI JI !
For
the past hour or so, we have been listening to great saints speak their
thoughts and messages on the subject of sharing. I am also a student, learning
from the blessings of Baba Ji and spreading the message, so I would like to
share my thoughts on the topic sharing.
Now, what is Sharing. Many of you have
probably already heard of the famous proverb sharing is caring. This is because
when you share, you are caring and showing compassion for the other person. You
spread happiness to both people, and they will spread that happiness to other
people. Eventually that happiness will reach around the world. It also shows
love to people, who spread that love around the globe, so basically sharing is
a connection of love. It can start a chain reaction of friendships and
relationships. Many people fail to realize how important sharing is our lives,
how important it is to share with loved ones. I would like to share a story on
sharing:
There
was once a boy who was very rich and clever. He had practically everything a
boy could ever want, so he was only interested in the most rare and curious of
objects. This happened to him in relation to a very old mirror, and he
convinced his parents to buy it from a mysterious old man. When the mirror
arrived home, the boy went to see his reflection in it. His face looked very
sad indeed. He tried smiling and making funny faces, but his reflection
continued with its sad expression.
Surprised,
the boy went off to buy sweets. He came home as happy as can be, to look in the
mirror, but his image was still sad-looking. He bought all kinds of toys and
old junk, but forever looked sad in that mirror. Fed up, the boy stuck the
mirror off in a corner.
"Crikey,
what a terrible mirror! It's the first time I've seen a mirror that didn't work
properly!"
That
same afternoon he went into the street to play and to buy a few toys, but on
his way to the park he saw a little boy who was crying his heart out. The boy
was crying so much, and looked so lonely, that the rich boy went over to help
him and to see what had happened. The little one told him that he had lost his
parents.
Together
the two boys set off in search of them. As the little boy wouldn't stop crying,
our boy spent his money on buying him sweets to cheer him up. Finally, after
much walking, they found his parents who were out looking for him, very
worried.
The
rich boy said goodbye, and walked off towards the park. But, seeing the time,
he decided to turn round and head for home, without having been able to play,
without toys, and without money. At home, he went to his room, and noticed a
shining light in the corner; the same corner he had left the mirror in. Seeing
this, he went over to the mirror, and realized that the light was coming from
his own body, so radiant with happiness he had become.
And
so he understood the mystery of that mirror, the only mirror which could
faithfully reflect the true joy of its owner. He realized it was true; he felt
genuinely happy at having helped that little boy.
And
since then, each morning when he looked in that mirror and failed to see a
special shine, he already knew what he had to do to bring it back.
The
moral of this story is that everyone should try to be like that boy, and have
those qualities that make a good person. So that every day we should try to see
our smiling faces through that mirror.
Sharing also gives us great qualities,
and one of them is happiness: There
once was a very wealthy and successful man. He had more money than he
could ever spend and he was admired and looked up to by his community.
Still, he knew that something was missing in his life. He wasn't happy.
All his life he had pursued happiness and strived for happiness but had
never been able to find it.
Then one day he heard about a hidden temple in Nepal which had a
special room that contained the secret to happiness. He sold all that he owned
and set out to find this hidden temple. After many years of searching and
countless hardships he finally arrived there. By then he was weary and penny
less, but he knew that none of that mattered now that he had found the temple.
He asked a wise, smiling monk if he could enter the special room. The monk
agreed and showed him the stairs leading to the room. He climbed them with legs
shaking with anticipation and slowly opened the door.
He stared into the room with sunlight streaming through the
window and saw what he had come so far to find. There hanging on the wall
was the secret of happiness. The man gazed at his reflection in the
mirror and laughed. It is time that we all realized that we are the
secret to our own happiness. Happiness is a choice that we make within.
Also on sharing is this story: Once a man who had died was met
by gods angels, who took him to two doors, one was labeled hell and the other
was labeled heaven. On the side of each door was a little window. The man asked
if he could see both of the sides and the angels agreed on yes. When the man
saw through Hell’s window, he saw a long table filled with great and
mouth-watering food, but the people in the room were thin and sick of
starvation and almost dead. Each person’s hands were tied to big spoons, to
long to feed themselves. When he looked through heaven’s door, he saw the same
situation but the people were happy and healthy! When he asked the angels, they
told him that in heaven, they have learned to feed each other with the spoons
instead of hell, who still haven’t learned their lesson. This is why you should
learn and do sharing in your life, not just because it makes us better people,
but other people as well.
Now we know that sharing spreads happiness, which is much needed
in this world. Have you ever seen people as they walk around with all their
anger and ego filled inside them? Sharing eliminates that and shows the
opposite in both people. Here is a good example of that:
A man got in a taxi going to the airport. As they were driving,
a silver car backed out of a parking spot right in front of them. The cab swerved
and missed the car by mere inches. A second late, and both the cars would have
destroyed. Both the cars stopped and the silver cars driver got out and started
shouting at the cab driver. The cab driver just smiled and waved.
Everybody has a balloon in their body. As you fill this balloon
with anger, disappointment, stress, ego, etc. it gets bigger and bigger until
it pops on someone. You may have not meant to do this but you are blinded by
your anger. We must let out the air in our balloon before we pop it on someone.
Showing an act of kindness like sharing is what we can do to let out the air
from our balloon. Some people might pop their balloon on you, but don’t keep
that and give it to another person. Turn that into a positive sense. Life is
mostly based on the choices you make.
Also I would like to mention that the Sant Nirinkari Mission in Tracy
donated thousands of dollars of food and other supplies to the McHenry House for Homeless recently, which is a great form of
charity work and sharing.
God does so much for us but we always forget to count our
blessings. Every moment is a blessing granted by God and we usually fail to
acknowledge it. All He wants in return is that we live our lives as per His
guidelines.
Do ordinary for God. He will do extraordinary for You.
Do natural for
God. He will do Supernatural for You.
Do possible for God. He’ll do the impossible for you......
Look
back and thank God. Look forward and trust God.
Look around and serve God. Look within and find God!
Saints, please forgive me my mistakes and I seek for sangat blessings.
Saints say with love Dhan Nirankar ji !
