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 ! 

Speech by young kid:

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 by Saahil ji:

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 !
