Yours Affectionately

A satsangi should fully realize the great value of human life and the true purpose for which the Creator has bestowed this rare gift on us. Eating, sleeping, procreation and sense pleasures, all this we have experienced in millions of lives even in the lower species to which we transmigrated before again obtaining the human body. The purpose of human life is to enable us to know ourselves and to know the Lord, which cannot be accomplished in any other form. For this a soul has to have a human form, so our main attention now should be towards God-realization. All other things and interests are secondary and unimportant.

We should attend to our meditation so vigorously every day that it actually becomes a part of our life. If we do not perform our devotions for at least the minimum time of two-and-a-half hours every day, we are not fulfilling the purpose for which we have been granted a human body. If a disciple regularly does his duty towards his Lord, with love and devotion, he will realize that the Master guides and protects him at every step, that the Master is always with him, not only in this life but also helps him at death and throughout eternity. So take a pledge from today that whether your mind likes it or not, you will give a full two-and-a-half hours to simran and bhajan every day, most regularly. Never let a single day go by without it, and try to meditate at an appointed time every day, preferably in the early morning hours. Regularity is most essential for spiritual progress. You must do your duty without asking anything in return.

Do not mind whether you see any light within or not, or whether the Sound is audible. You simply do your duty and leave the results to the Master. When a man pays wages to one who works for him, do you think that the Lord would not do so? He alone knows what is good for us and when it is to be given. He will pay in abundance. Have faith in him.
