Rev Naranjan Singh Ji, in his discourse during the Samagam
congratulated the Sadh Sangat of Patiala for organizing the
Samagam so admirably and successfully. He called upon all
Parmukhs/Mukhies/EMS incharges present in the samagam to give
equal importance to EMS as is given to general congregation. He
said "no congregation is big or small, as a congregation is a
congregation because True Master is present in each one of
them." He stressed on the need for sticking to the timings
because the start and conclusion of the congregation in the
allotted time is the basic requirement of each congregation. The
Parmukhs/Mukhies should themselves make it a point to be present
in the EMS. He wished that youth should become young preachers
and torch bearers of True Master's truthful mission. The mission
should become a bridge builder. We should study the holy
scriptures, religious books and find out similarities of
different religions so that the same could be inter related to
unite the people because religion always unites and never
divides.
