Christmas Eve (Dec 25th, 2011) Satsang Program in Delhi

Satsang Programme in the Divine Presence of

His Holiness Baba Hardev Singh Ji Maharaj

December 25, 2011: Delhi, Ground No. 2

Blessing a congregation on December 25, 2011 at Ground no. 2, Burari, His Holiness Baba Hardev Singh Ji Maharaj stated;

“All of you heard the precious words of saints based upon Truth and devotion. The One Formless Supreme Lord Ishwara is spoken about and glorified in the congregation and an inspiration is given to live a life of devotion. It is a mixture of certain virtues which is called by the name devotion; through their words saints inspire us to strengthen those virtues in our life. Devotees always derive bliss by speaking and hearing such words and also make an effort to move in their direction. No matter where they live, saints make a constant effort to strengthen such aspects in life.

All of you heard a mention of my recent tour to the state of Punjab; which covered Mandi Gobindgarh, Jallandhar, Batala, Amritsar, Faridkot, Bhatinda, Patiala and Yamuna Nagar in Haryana. In many places new Satsang Bhawans were inaugurated while there were also some places which I visited for the first time. Wherever I went, I experienced saints' overflowing love, enthusiasm and spirit of selfless service. Filled with enthusiasm to live a life of devotion, saints cherish a desire to completely surrender themselves to a life of truth, God-knowledge and others' welfare; keeping themselves concentrated in this direction, they continue moving their footsteps towards it.

The tour also gave a chance to many dignitaries from social and political field and numerous religious organizations to have a closer look and hear the message of the Mission to strengthen humanity and establish unity. Otherwise as it is, the effort all around today is to divide humanity. The Mission is making an effort to bring people close to each other; putting aside the discrimination of caste, creed, language etc. all humans are looked upon only as humans having the light of One Supreme Lord. The strengthening of all such aspects by the Mission is indeed considered commendable by all those who come to know it.

The contribution being made by the Mission today is in no way different from that of all other saints', sages' and prophets' contribution, born in different ages. Whether born in any age or century, all of them gave the message which is being repeated by the Mission today – to know this Ishwara, this Truth and attain the realization of truth.

Lord Jesus Christ whose B'day is being celebrated as Christmas today, also said, 'Know God Ye Worship' – that you should also Know the God whom you rever and worship; if different modes of worshiping were enough, there was no need to say, 'Know God Ye Worship!' Different men adopt different methods and modes to render devotion; different people look upon different days as auspicious for them; Looking at all this Lord Jesus Christ jolted them out of their ignorance by telling them that all the days are created equally by God! Even though much criticized by his own men for speaking against their practice of rites and rituals, the aim and message of Lord Jesus Christ was to tell all about Truth, the true aim of human life and how to attain salvation; seeing people oblivious of all such aspects and limiting themselves only to the performance of rites and rituals, he had to say, 'Know God Ye Worship.' That Know the Supreme Lord whose Name you loudly proclaim, recite and worship. He asked all men to Know Truth, this Supreme Lord. So his message amply proves that mere worship and rites and rituals are not enough to attain the salvation of the soul. They are not enough to attain freedom from the chain of births and rebirths. In this manner Lord Jesus Christ awakened all towards Truth, and Baptized them with One Universal Spirit or this God-knowledge, this Eternal Formless Supreme Lord.

Though the message of truth was given by saints and prophets yet it also kept getting lost in every age; that is why it had to be awakened and established again and again. With the passage of time rites and rituals became dominant and the Essence got lost. It has happened in every age
