सतगुरु माता सविंदर हरदेव जी महाराज के प्रवचन (20- नवंबर-16, सेवादल रैली, वार्षिक समागम, दूसरा दिन, दिल्ली)

साध संगत जी प्यार से कहना धन निरंकार जी


1) एक सेयिंग है – *_‘वी मेक ए लिविंग बाइ वॉट वी गेट, बट वी मेक ए लाइफ बाइ वॉट वी गिव’!_* 
आप सेवादल के जवान दिन-रात अपने आराम, खाने-पीने की परवाह किए बिना सब कार्य में लगे हुए हैं चाहे वो ग्राउंड्स की सफाइयाँ, ग्राउंड्स मेनटेन करना, लंगर में खाना बनाना, सबको खिलाना, नमस्कार की लाइनें और उसके बाद अपने-2 शहरो में भी सारा साल आपकी कोई ना कोई ड्यूटीस लगी रहती हैं! 

2) आपने अभी मिशन की पिछले 60 वर्षो की सेवादल की हिस्टरी भी देखी! कहाँ 5 यूनिट्स से शुरू होके आज देश-विदेश में आपकी एक्टिविटीस चल रही हैं!

3) *बाबा जी ने भी वर्दी पहनी और उसे गौरव समझा अपना और अनेक प्रकार की सेवायें की!* कैमरा लेके फोटोग्रफी करी या एॉर्पोर्ट से महापुरुषो को लेके आना या लंगर में अनेको सेवायें बाबा जी ने की!

4) *हमारा फ़र्ज़ बनता है हम सेवादल को पूरा रिगार्ड दें और सेवादल का भी फ़र्ज़ है संगतो के साथ प्यार से पेश आयें, संगतें सेवादल के साथ प्यार से पेश आयें!* और *_मर्यादा में रहके ही, हुकुम में रहके ही, सेवा जो होती है वो महान होती है!_*

साध संगत जी धन निरंकार

Nirankari Baba Passes Away

With profound pain and sorrow, this is to inform all that His Holiness Nirankari Baba Hardev Singh Ji Maharaj has merged into this Almighty God. He was travelling from New York to Montreal (Canada) in a car which met with a serious accident at about 5.00 a.m. (IST) today about 40 kms from Montreal.

Baba Ji was accompanied by Sandeep Khinda Ji and Avneet Setya Ji, both his sons-in-law, and Vivek Sharma Ji from New York. Even though they also received injuries, they are reported to be safe.

Further details will be conveyed as soon as finalized. In the meantime, the Sant Nirankari Mandal has urged all the devotees not to rush to Delhi or to the Headquarters of the Mission/Kothi.

Ideology

                     Admin: Dinesh

Aim of human life

********
Realisation of God
Role of True Master
Peace Within
Universal Brotherhood
Peaceful Co - existence
Devotion
************

The primary objective of human life is God Realization  which leads to Self Realization .
Human Life is an opportunity to awaken ourselves out
of dream of Illusion and realize the real self which is
part of continuum – the fact that my existence is false
and that I do not exist is true .
The realisation of God takes into its fold the realisation
of Self in such a manner that the latter ceases to be
significant, merges its entity with the Supreme entity ,
i . e . God . The spark becomes part of the Flame , the
drop ’s journey comes to an end after it is immersed in
the Ocean .
Once God is realised by Soul , once it discovers the
Truth and is face to face with it , righteousness , purity
and nobleness take on, rather drive away all the false
and evil forces dominating human life hitherto .
The darkness of ignorance having automatically gone
on the advent of Divine Light , ill - will gives place to
goodwill, hatred to love, discord to tolerance and so
on . All apprehensions and delusions disappear . The life
becomes as clean, pure and sublime as Divinity itself.

*********

After GOD ’ s realization, we operate at level of continuity
that exists throughout in various forms of Life and
hence we see a common thread across all diversity . It
is this understanding that drives the Mission and the
followers to perform actions that ensure Peaceful co-
existence and not be fanatics.

Unity Vs Uniformity

The need is not to dwell in uniformity but to able to
exist with diverse styles and bring synergy in what we
do together . Each individual is unique as created by
divinity, it would be against divine nature if we force
individuals to think and do alike. We should be able to
think differently and yet leverage the formless link to
bring synergy and prosperity .

*********

Realization of God

Knowing about God is a knowledge and knowing God
is Realisation of God as “Knowing about something ” is
different from “knowing something ”.
Whereas FORM is manifestation of Maya , GOD is
FORMLESS that never changes - Nirankar – Changeless
in the changing world - He is omnipresent , omnipotent ,
omniscient and eternal .
God can only be realized with the blessing of living true
master.
GOD is the continuum and the world is a super-
imposition on this never - changing substratum . We, as
limited by five senses , miss the substrate and see what
grows over it . Just like we attempt to see SPACE – we
see everything – moon , stars , birds and sky; but fail to
see the SPACE .
However our mental ability can make us interpret
SPACE and we all see it without seeing it . GOD can be
realized in a similar manner. This requires an
understanding beyond the five senses , however.

************

Peaceful Co - existence

The mission deals with the spirit in man and lays
stress on the role of the individual . The nations of
world are all composed of individuals, and it is the
interrelation and liaison of the individuals that go to
constitute the human society.
Ultimately , the unit of our family , nation or human
society is the individuation . And who is that individual ?
You and I .
Therefore, no power on earth can possibly fulfill the
slogan of ‘ world- peace’ and ‘ human- brotherhood ’
unless relationship between you and I , that is man and
man becomes sweet and smooth .
The fulcrum of every world problem, in reality lies in
our own minds and hearts. Far reaching results can
only be achieved by making a start at the nearest point
and that nearest point is our own self .
If individual is at peace, the world at large will
automatically be at peace .

*****************

Role of True Master

We can realize GOD with an evolved mind - mind that
has developed the capability to see the substrate over
which grows the matter.
Since this needs mental evolution to understand what
is beyond five senses , this process of mental
awakening cannot be documented and neither can be
spoken. This needs union with human personality who
himself is awakened .
He , who is awakened to this supreme consciousness ,
can take our mind beyond five senses to realize the
TRUTH. A TRUE MASTER does it instantly – by making
you experience his experience .
This does not need any religious practices . GOD ’ s
knowledge cannot have anything to do with any of
these; because GOD is so simple that we stumble over
its simplicity – TRUE master makes us experience this
simplicity .
We need to understand that GOD cannot be
complicated . GOD is simple and simple is divine.

***********

Devotion

Three aspects of devotion – Satsang , Sewa and
Sumiran
Devotion is not a means to know God , but having
known Him , it is a way of life for the devotee ever
expressing his heart felt gratitude for His bounties.
Such a devotion is not subjected to the limitations of
rituals, time or place . Knowledge of God is not the end ,
but the beginning of devotion .
A true disciple sees the Divine in all, and so is ever in
Satsang . His every action is dedicated to the Divine ,
turning it into Sewa. And he lives in a state of constant
awareness of Nirankar , making his every breath a
Simran.
Bliss and Joy , that emerges out of experiencing GOD ,
manifests in form of staying with enlightened ones,
serving all and remembering the Self .
All of this comes naturally; but yet needs to be forced
at times since Maya is too strong to make the true
understanding take a back seat .

(a ) Satsang (b ) Sewa ( c) Sumiran

SatsangGathering of devotees or enlightened beings is
known as satsang . In fact satsang actually means to
be joining with the truth . In the mission , it is believed
that although for practical reasons, satsang has been
given time and place for worshipers to gather the
spiritual perspective , yet one has the potential to live in
a state of satsang, which is beyond any man - made
constraints of time and place.

Sewa: The term is used to define the self- less service
of humanity without want for reward . This can be
achieved through many means and forms but behind
this voluntary service is the most important fact of
self - less intention , which counts.

Sumiran: Following God - knowledge ( Brahm Gyan ), the
True Master asks the devotee to remember God all the
time , everywhere and in all circumstances and thus
make it a part of his daily life , his normal behaviour .

Sumiran, usually spelt here as ‘Simran ’ , serves as
devotee’ s prayer also. It keeps his or her faith in God
and God - knowledge firm and steadfast .
It serves as the most convenient means to express the
devotee’ s love for God ( Bhakti) . Here the True Master
provides spiritual or divine support to Simran to make it
effective and fruitful for the devotee . It reads in Punjabi
as : “ Tu Hi Nirankar, Main Teri Sharan Haan, Mainoon
Baksh Lo” i . e. O’ Thou Formless One , I surrender to
Thee, Please forgive me.

******************

Peace Within

The realisation of God takes us to a state which is
described in spiritual jargon as SEHAJ . This is the state
of human mind where man does not feel elated on
finding something and pained on losing it . He does not
envy the more fortunate and frown at the less
fortunate fellow beings .
He is fully contented with what he has . In fact, he feels
grateful to the Supreme Donor , God , for whatever has
been bestowed on him - - physical strength , intellectual
ability and material wealth . Comfort lies in realizing
what HE IS and not by what he has .
He values the lasting peace and joy within that flows
from contentment more than any worldly possession.
This is attitude that the Mission seeks to promote
through spiritual enlightenment.
Peace is a natural outcome of GOD ’s realization. The
experience immediately changes our outlook - where
we start anchoring ourselves at supreme Self and not
at our body . This mental change makes us peaceful .
Just like the centre of a fan that does not rotate when
fan rotates .
If we are anchored right at centre of fan, we never
move – if we anchor at periphery of fan, we move with
fan. It is this anchoring at supreme self that makes us
observer and not observed – and peace is a natural
outcome – the unmoved Self .

Baba Avtar Singh Ji (1899 - 1969 )

   Author:Dinesh

*************-**********

Childhood Days

Baba Avtar Singh Ji was born in a small
village named Latifal in Jhelum District ( now
in Pakistan ) on December 31 , 1899 in the
family of Shri Mukha Singh Ji and Smt.
Narayani Devi Ji. He was being brought up
with due affection and indulgence, but when
he was just 6 years, his father died after
brief illness.
This untimely loss was a big jolt to the
family. Then the responsibility of looking
after the family gravitated to the shoulders
of his mother Narayani. The little boy Avtar
was entrusted to the care of Shri Nand Lal , a
local priest, for education as there was no
school in the village . In a short span of time
he was able to study scriptures . As he grew ,
Avtar proved to be extraordinarily intelligent .
Family hardships made Avtar a very strong
and determined person . When he was just 12 ,
his maternal uncle Shri Narain Singh took
him to Rawalpindi . In Rawalpindi , Avtar
worked first at a hotel and then as a porter
at railway station . There , he incidentally
came in contact with Seth Sawan Mal.
Impressed by his honesty , integrity and hard
work , Seth Sawan Mal employed Avtar in his
bakery and eventually he made him a partner
and handed over the whole unit to him. This
was a step that marked the beginning of
Avtar's life of determination and firm faith in
goodness.

****************************

The Holy Meeting

On 25 May 1929 came the turning point in
the life of Baba Avtar Singh, when he met his
guru Baba Buta Singh in Peshawar. Ecstasy
took hold of him and he was all praise for
the Master and Nirankar, the Formless God
all around. He surrendered himself
completely to Baba Buta Singh Ji and
announced that hereafter his life would
follow the way as Baba Buta Singh Ji would
lead.
He declared that he had found his destiny at
the holy feet of Baba Buta Singh Ji . The latter
was also happy because he found in Baba
Avtar Singh Ji the kind of disciple he had
been looking for , a person who would
surrender his body , mind and material assets
at the altar of divinity and be prepared to
take the spiritual light to the masses and
share the eternal bliss with those who were
otherwise fumbling in the darkness of
ignorance.
From that day both Baba Buta Singh Ji and
Baba Avtar Singh Ji worked together . The
movement gathered momentum gradually. As
expected, they faced a lot of opposition from
the orthodox elements, but this failed to
deter them from the path of truth . The two
were together for about 14 years. On many
occasions, Baba Avtar Singh Ji 's loyalty ,
sincerity , devotion and dedication towards
his True Master and the Almighty was put to
test. Every time , he proved up to the mark
and won praise from the True Master .

*******************

Expansion

Baba Avtar Singh Ji succeeded Baba Buta
Singh Ji and preached the divine message
during the period from 1943 to 1962 . He
was all out for the uplift of mankind through
dissemination of the divine word . He faced
opposition from different fronts in carrying
out his missionary obligations , but he
remained moulded and welded to the Truth.
He appeased the flood of opposition with his
deep spirit of humility and love . He
possessed wonderful skill to convince his
critics, provided they chose to listen to him.
There are many instances where critics , after
listening to Baba Ji , joined the Mission and
dedicated their lives to the propagation of its
message.
Following the partition of India in 1947 ,
Baba Avtar Singh Ji had to shift from
Rawalpindi (now in Pakistan ) to Paharganj ,
Delhi (India ) . Devotees migrating from
Pakistan also maintained their contact with
Baba Ji and sought rehabilitation in and
around Delhi . In order to meet the
requirements of the children of the devotees
and others , Baba Avtar Singh Ji opened Sant
Nirankari School in Paharganj , (which is now
a Senior Secondary School ) . Subsequently , he
also established Sant Nirankari Colony in
North Delhi and shifted the Headquarters of
the Mission there. Santokh Sarovar ( now
called Nirankari Sarovar ) was also developed
near the Colony .
The ideology of the Mission was easy to
understand and follow in practical day- to-day
life . It attracted people from all castes and
communities. The Mission prescribed no
cumbersome rituals or costly ceremonies and
liberated people from all kind of taboos .
Then, it loved all and hated none . The masses
that had just experienced the havoc that
communalism and religious intolerance could
play with the mankind , gone through the
misery before Partition and suffered from
the agony even thereafter . They had not only
seen the disease of casteism in its full swing,
but felt the sting also, welcomed the Mission
where all of them were treated as equally
respected and dignified members of one
human society. They found here what they
really needed —the Mission under the
spiritual leadership of Baba Avtar Singh Ji ,
was providing spiritual balm to heal their
worldly wounds, the inner strength to bear
the sorrow and the morale boosting to
continue their journey of life .
The orthodox elements continued to harass
Baba Avtar Singh . One day, while a
congregation was going on at the residence
of Baba Avtar Singh Ji , some people came and
started shouting slogans against him. When
they continued for some time and did not
disperse, some of the disciples asked for
Baba Ji ’s permission to go and teach them a
lesson. Instead Baba Ji asked some disciples
to go and offer them water. The
demonstrators felt very happy . But when
they came to know that the water was being
offered on behalf of Baba Avtar Singh Ji , they
felt ashamed at their mistake and realized
how He possessed divine qualities of
compassion, love for all and forgiveness.

*************************

Organisational Set - up

To give an organisational outfit to the
expanding Mission, Baba Avtar Singh Ji
founded Sant Nirankari Mandal in 1948 and
got it registered with Headquarters at Delhi .
Establishing branches in various cities with
Pramukhs- incharge also came in the priority
agenda of the Master for holding regular
congregations and taking forward the
message of the Mission . For this very
purpose, Sant Nirankari Sewa Dal also came
into being in 1956 with Chacha Pratap Singh
as its Head .
Publication wing was set up for books and
periodicals. Bringing various books
containing philosophy of the Mission were
attempted by missionary scholars with deep
inspiration from the Master . The Avtar Bani ,
considered the essence of the Nirankari
Ideology , was published in 1957 .
Devotee Once Again – A rare example
One of the unique things related to Baba
Avtar Singh Ji is that during his life time
itself he took a decision to revert from the
Satguru to an ordinary devotee . The Annual
Nirankari Sant Samagam which opened on
November 5 , 1963 was, of course , the first
occasion when devotees from all over saw
Baba Gurbachan Singh Ji as the Spiritual
Head of the Mission. With this, the Satguru
stood manifested in Baba Gurbachan Singh Ji .
As a devotee, Baba Avtar Singh Ji became an
example to others. He showed full reverence
to the Satguru of the time , Baba Gurbachan
Singh Ji .
In 1969 Baba Gurbachan Singh Ji and
Rajmata Kulwant Kaur Ji left for tour to U .K .
The tour had, however, to be cut short
because of sudden deterioration in the health
of Baba Avtar Singh Ji who breathed his last
on September 17 , 1969 i. e. , after a few days
of their return .

*****************

Last Journey

Going by worldly norms , having been the
spiritual head of the Mission for about 20
years, many devotees insisted that Baba Avtar
Singh Ji be given a grand funeral with sandal
wood etc .
But Baba Gurbachan Singh Ji explained that a
dead body is just a dead body whether it
belonged to an ordinary person , an
intellectual, or even a holy man . So Baba
Avtar Singh Ji was given a simple funeral at
the electric crematorium in Delhi .

" God is everywhere , close to all , but cannot be
realised without the help of the True Master . "

The pursuit of Truth is a universal
phenomenon. Religious faiths all across the
world proclaim to preach it , and amongst
them they agree that there is no greater
Truth than the Supreme Being, the Creator of
the Universe, the Almighty Formless One -
Nirankar. The many and varied names for
God all represent an omnipresent , all -
pervasive, omniscient, and Supreme Entity.
All the sages, seers , saints, gurus and
prophets from across time have, therefore ,
preached the same Ultimate Truth; God. The
approach, however , might have been
different. The various Holy Scriptures are the
milestones representing the flow of Divine
Thought. These writings and teachings were
meant to reveal the Ultimate Truth. History,
however , shows that rituals and dogmas
overwhelmed the essential Truth behind
these teachings, creating confusion and
division between religions , sects , and
communities.
Baba Buta Singh Ji , the founder and first
Satguru of the Sant Nirankari Mission ,
recognized that adhering to rites and rituals
does not enable humans to realize God. That
can happen only with the grace of a God -
realized soul. In 1929 Baba Buta Singh Ji
began to show the path of uniting with God.
This is how the Sant Nirankari Mission and
Satguru tradition began.
The Satguru tradition states that God -
realization is possible only through the
Satguru, the teacher of God Knowledge. The
mission of the Satguru is eternal, for there is
always another candle to light, another life
to transform .
