Spirituality Encompasses Humanity

A woman communes with nature.

CL GULATI

Human life is considered a unique blessing, which actually lies in the achievement of “Awareness about self”. He who is not aware about self can neither have peace nor can he foster peaceful co-existence. As per natural phenomenon, man has to link his soul with God and body with physical world for sustenance. Formless God being invisible to the naked eye, the human mind wanders where-ever the eye goes in the grandeur of mundane world.

Lost in the ‘will o’-the wisp’, man does not develop love for God. Religion, like the white light of heavens breaks into many-colored fragments by the prisms of men and loses its gravity. Instead of uniting, it becomes a major dividing force inter weaving grotesque picture of harakari in the humanity at large: —”This world is full of conflicts, fights and riots; If they know the Common Father, there would be no wrangle.”

God is eternal so the True Master for unabated flow of mainstream of Spirituality. Combination of spoken words and practical hint by the True Master introduces the seekers to the all-pervading God. To accept and respect the contemporary “True Master is to accept all the past and future True Masters.”

Talihard de Chardin a French philosopher and Jesuit priest thinking deeply on the meaning of our existence and relationship with the Divine, expounds, “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience.”

Today, we live in the exponential world where everything is growing rapidly. Religion, science-technology, medical research, robots, academia, space exploration and material world. “How do we reckon the role of spirituality in the exponential world?” This is what H.H. Princess Maria Amor D.D., Founder President, “We Care for Humanity, USA” asked giving a unique example of Robot named Sophia reportedly introduced a new citizen in Saudi Arabia. Can the robot be given citizenship or capable of being spiritual?

What, if someday, the world is dominated by artificial intelligence and we lack the understanding that it is spiritual intelligence that enables human intelligence and human intelligence enables artificial intelligence. We must never forget that. If we all agree that all of us living on this earth are spiritual beings and that we were born in this temporary body, which makes us human and that what we are doing today is unfolding the spirituality in us.

Physical poverty is a curse, but spiritual deprivation is worse. The human mind therefore requires a spiritual universe, anything less will never satisfy a thinking person. Great philosopher Saint Augustin of Hippo writes, “Restless are our souls until they rest in Thee my God”. This statement shows implicit relationship of soul with God, like roots and fruits, explicitly summing up in the axiom: —

No God, No Peace; know God, Know Peace.

Spirituality is needed to release our spiritual intelligence, which is the foundation of the exponential world. For all this we need spiritual guidance and this is what Sant Nirankari Mission is doing. The concept of One god for all foresees the idea of one religion for all that suits the whole human race. The Sant Nirankari Mission has succeeded in achieving this objective through a living revelation of Fatherhood of God, the central seed of all religions, ruling out any question of conversions.

Spirituality is the essence of life and encompasses humanity. It develops body, mind and ignites the soul with strength and joy. The power and ability come from higher intelligence, man by propriety is enabled by spiritual intelligence.

Her Holiness Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj, the Spiritual Head of the Sant Nirankari Mission says that oblivious of his spiritual identity, man falls victim to all maladies because of his ignorance about God and the singular remedy for all this is to be consciously one with God. If God is all you have, you have all you need. Spiritually essentially means to “Know One, Believe in One and Become One”. Sant Nirankari Mission is creating an ever-expanding joyous world born out of Spiritual Intelligence.

The sky may be unlimited, but everyone needs a ground to fall back to. In reality, that ground is spirituality.

The Sant Nirankari Mission is celebrating its 75th Platinum Jubilee International Nirankari Sant Samagam at Sant Nirankari Adhyatmik Sthal, G.T. Road, Samalkha, Distt. Panipat (Haryana), from 16 to 22 November 2022 where devotees and learned speakers from across the world will participate.
