TRUTH IS ALWAYS SIMPLE

It seems that we often have a habit of making things difficult for ourselves, and life in general is no exception to that rule. And when it comes to the issue of truth, it appears that man has twisted and turned it into a knot, which he now finds difficult to undo. In fact, he has made the truth so convoluted that he can now barely recognize it himself, even when it stares him right in the face.

His Holiness Satguru Baba Hardev Singh Ji one explained in an interview that “Truth is always simple.” It thus follows that a simple mind is needed to understand the truth. By simple we do not mean an individual that lacks though or ambition. On the contrary, by simple we mean one that is free from the chains of selfish desire and narrow mindedness. One that does not need to pollute the simple reality with its material conflicts and vendettas. It is a mind that enquirers, experiences, and finally accepts the truth for what it really is. This is something that the great philosophers have aspired to do, but whether they have been successful is open to discussion.

What is evident however is that Baba Ji’s simple message of Universal Brotherhood through spiritual realization is being experienced and applied throughout the world. Moreover, it is flourishing in both young and old alike, which is no surprise since truth does not discriminate on any grounds. Truth just is, and those who grasp it have the privilege of becoming its ambassadors. For the last few years now there has been greater emphasis on the younger devotees to come forth to propagate the Master’s teaching, and there has been phenomenal progress in the first few months of this New Year. With the blessing of Satguru; the experience, guidance, and support of the older devotees; and the energy of the youth, there has been a rejuvenation of spirit. In the last month alone there have been several new developments namely: the first youth congregation (Bal Sangat) in Leicester and the beginning of English medium Satsangs in Erith Kent.

English Medium Satsangs across other areas, especially in Birmingham and Ilford have also experienced resurgence in the wake of Satguru Baba Ji’s inspirational New Years message. It is clearly evident that the work of the Almighty will continue irrespective of our input. The rain will always merge with the ocean eventually, although the path it takes may very upon the obstacles in its way. The question we must ask ourselves is do we want to be a part of it?

The time is approaching when Satguru and his teaching is becoming the uniting force in every home. Now is the opportunity to make ourselves a part of the great vision that is fast becoming reality. Let move forward with Nirankar’s grace and share in the happiness.
