God is all pervading and permeating in each and every heart and everywhere. land, water, sky and beyond. He is also present on many planets, earth or asteroids. God’s. tiny little force is in every living being from an ant to a bird, to land animals, to water animals and human beings. Generally, we all believe in God and most of us recite holy songs in His praise. However, among us, there are few atheists who do not believe in God. Atheists are quite smart. analytic but highly argumentative people. They are self-centred and often ask- where is God? who has seen God and who can show them, God? They think they are born to be independent and have all the fun during their lifetime. They do not believe in rebirth cycle or life after death. They have no fear or respect for God. For them, their birth and death are a biological process where they grow, blossom and decay.
Atheists seek
proof of God’s existence and identity which no one knows. They simply apply
their basic knowledge/logic to seek visible proof of God’s existence. They all
forget that God is not an object or material or a person which can be seen/felt
through our five senses. There is no need to spend time in persuading such
people to change their mindset. Instead,
save your valuable time and energy to interact and sing praises of God with
people who are willing to lend their ear to wise people and live a righteous
life.
Most intelligent
living being.
We the human being is the highest level of living beings with maximum
intelligence and five senses (seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and touching)
to be discrete, sensible and caring in our thoughts and actions. We can train a tiger or an elephant or a bird
to act as per our wish. You see in circus various animals and birds performing
so well to entertain the audience. We can innovate and design aircrafts trains,
buses, cars. boats, ships, buildings, bridges and many household appliances to
live comfortably. With sustained effort
and self-discipline, we can also train our mind to do good deeds.
Universal
God. Fortunately, the majority of human beings,
believe in God and most of them lay claim as “My God” and “Your God”. They do
so on the basis of religion, caste and ethnic affinity. They worship their
chosen God as per their religion and the region/ country by birth. They choose
their idol /place for worship – Prayer House, Painting, Statue, Animal or even
Tree. They seek many favours by praying
and placing various offerings including ornaments in front of their idol. Some
even tend to bargain with their Idol (God). Infect, God has no religion, caste, colour,
shape or form. God does not reside in any place of worship or in any idol/statue
or in any country. God belongs to the entire
humanity, all living beings and animals or even trees.
God’s Creation. Lord almighty has created us to coexist, live
happily and allow others to stay happy too. If we realise that all living being
is His creation and we all are His children, then there would be no hatred, no
enmity, no grudge toward anyone. God
blesses every mind and body to do good deeds during one’s life span. God cares,
protects and guides all living beings on this earth and in the entire universe.
God likes His whole creation to progress and lead a righteous life.
All Giver. We all know that
God is omnipotent, omnipresent, all-giver, caring, merciful and ever watchful. Let
us all be thankful to God for the abundance of everything God has given to all
of us. God provides nourishment and protection to all living beings even before
they are born and provides the required source of nourishment and resources readily
available on birth. Just notice the case of a hen laying say 12 eggs and after
say 21 days, the birth of her 12 chicks. Watch these beautiful chicks, and how
quickly they start moving around picking food from inner of eggshells.
Likewise, watch the birth of a calf of a cow where newborn starts standing on his
legs within a few minutes of birth and he moves around for milk-feed from the mother
cow. So is the case for human beings and all other living beings. In every winter season, thousands of Siberian
ducks fly hundreds of miles over the Himalayas in search of warm water bodies in
the plains of India. They all leave behind their young ones with the hope that
God will take care of their small ducklings.
Just think as who feeds them, and who teaches them to feed
themselves. The ducks stay in Indian
waters for say 3-4 months of winter and then fly back to their original places.
While faraway in Indian plains, the ducks
pray to God for the wellbeing of their ducklings and hope for the best. God takes
cares of both ducklings back at home as well as ducks in new waters of Indian
plains. God always gives us what we need, when we need and where we need. However, it could come in phases and also may not
be as per our greed. Therefore, just don’t worry about your basic needs like
food or shelter, when God Himself
provides all the needed resources for our care.
Righteous Life. We have the opportunity
to live a righteous life, help the needy and meditate on the name of God. We must
place our full faith in God, surrender to Him fully and remember Him both
during happiness/sorrow. God will always listen and answer our prayer and
never let us down. He is merciful and feels happy in our success and growth.
God lives within
us and watching. Never ever think that you are in a closed
place and no one is watching and therefore you could quietly do any harmful /
bad act. God is always watching each one of us and we will pay for our deeds in
this life or next life, as decided by the Supreme Lord.
Firm Faith in God. Have faith in
God, faith in Guru/teacher, faith in Parents and faith in self. They say “Faith
can move mountains and lack of faith can create mountains”. Having full faith in God gives you extra
strength and hope to stay on course. In difficult times do not waiver and never
ever think that God is not helping you. God is always kind and will appear in
some form to help you. Miracles do happen when help comes from unknown people
or place. In life, there can be rise or fall, easy/ happy times or difficult/testing
times. We must always maintain full faith in God and never give up hope and
soon there will be light at the end of the tunnel. Remember never to quit, pray
to God and put in your best, success is waiting for you.
Show me, God. There are very
few God blessed Saints, Prophets, Gurus, Rishis and religious leaders who work
hard to live a righteous life and meditate on the name of God over a long period. Over
centuries many saints, rishis, prophets and gurus, have spent their life-time
in search of God and rarely some few got spiritually connected to God and
invoke their sixth sense. Only then they could see within and realise God’s
miraculous universe. Remember God, the Lord
of the Universe is invisible, infinite, unapproachable, unfathomable, primal,
immaculate and formless. No one could explain God in the past and it cannot be
described now or in future. His Glorious
Greatness is immeasurable and God Himself knows Himself.
Singing in praise
of God.
God has been True, in the past, He
is True in the present and shall be True in future. We must sincerely meditate
and pray to One all-knowing Lord, the most exalted and auspicious. There is no
other as great as God and hence there is nothing to compare or complaint. He is
all in all-pervading in all; whatever God wishes, comes to pass. The devotee comes
to understand the Lord’s Name. God is imperishable and the treasure of
virtue. The devotee obtains wisdom, and eliminates his self-conceit, and
remains absorbed in His Naam.
Prayer Seeking God Blessing. Dear God, you are the Creator of all, and all greatness is Yours. As it pleases Your Will, so do we act. When it pleases Your Will, we obtain greatness through Your Naam God-loving person remains in continual ecstasy, day and night, and is fully absorbed into the unseen Lord. That person alone understands You, Lord, with whom You are pleased. He/she alone will be approved in the Court of the Lord, with whom You are pleased. Egotism is eradicated, when You bestow Your Grace. Sinful residues are erased when You are thoroughly pleased. One who has the Lord Master on his/her side, becomes fearless. One who is blessed with Your Mercy becomes truthful. One who is blessed with Your Kindness is not touched by fire as was the case of You saving “Preladh” against fire lit by his father “Harnaksh”. You are forever Merciful to those who are receptive to the Guru’s Teachings. Please grant Your Grace, O Merciful Lord; please forgive me and bless me that forever, I chant Your Name. I humbly fall at the feet of the True Guru. Please, dwell within my mind and body, and end my sufferings. Please give me Your hand, and save me from any fear. May I sing Your Glorious Praises day and night. Dear God, please commit me to this task. By Your Grace, I have truly found You the Truest of the True. Please bless me with Your kindness, O Kind Lord, and may I always remain singing your holy praises.
In search of God.
Meditate on the One and only One (1)
Lord within your mind, and you may enter the Sanctuary of God. Be in love with
the One Lord as there is no other at all. Beg from the One Lord, the Great
Giver, and you will be blessed with everything. In your mind and body, with
each breath and morsel of food, meditate on the One and only Lord God. The devotee
obtains the true treasure, the Name of
the Lord. Very fortunate are those humble Saints, within whose minds the Lord
has come to abide. He is pervading and permeating the water, the land and the
sky; there is no other at all. One who has You as his Saving Grace conquers the
three worlds. One who has You on his/her side. his/her face is radiant and
bright. One who has You on his/her side is the purest of the Pure. One who is
blessed with Your Grace is not called to give his account. One with whom You
are pleased obtains the nine treasures. One who is blessed with Your Kind
Mercy is dedicated to Your worship.
God is always with
you.
Meditate in remembrance within your heart on the True Guru, God, Whether you
are walking in a park or climbing most difficult path, on the mountain or walking through a deep jungle or strolling
along the river bank or driving a
vehicle over a long distance. Just keep softly chanting the praise of God. You
could even play such holy prayers on your mobile phone and get connected with God. God is on your
side, you will safely and peacefully complete your journey.
Be Merciful, O my Lord and Master, that I may pass my life in love with you and in the company of the saintly and God-loving people.
God bless you all Good Health and
happiness.!
