On the third day of the Samagam, devotees from around the world were encouraged to make the Supreme Almighty an integral part of every moment of their lives. Satguru Mata Ji emphasised that this teaching is not new – saints have been giving the same message since time immemorial. The theme – Atma-Manthan (The Journey Within) is not just about words but about a constant state of keeping oneself in self-correction mode. The compassionate hearts of saints have always taught that we must not let anyone’s actions embitter our own minds. Even when someone errs, the spirit should be of forgiveness. Saints have always spoken of balance – of walking the middle path, avoiding extremes and maintaining harmony in life.
Her Holiness added an example of the weighing scale; life too demands balance between giving and receiving love. Often, we focus only on how much we get, not how much we give. Love is not transactional; it only grows by giving. The mind finds peace when it gives and does not expect anything in return.
Further, Satguru Mata Ji said, spirituality is not about renouncing the world – it is about living spiritually in the world. The entire world is one family — Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. When this feeling arises, the heart becomes universal, free from prejudice and discrimination. A saint sees everyone equally, without caste, creed or wealth distinctions.
(SUBHEAD)Satguru Mata Ji also mentioned that even from our bitter experiences, something good can be learnt. Like a stopped clock shows the correct time twice a day, similarly even flawed things contain goodness. Likewise, every person has some virtue, even if we don’t like their conduct. It is our perspective that needs refining. So let us introspect – do we accommodate others’ viewpoints or dismiss them? True self-reflection helps us correct ourselves and grow.
Earlier Rev. Nirankari Rajpita Ji in his discourse said that we see competition in every sphere of life these days – be it science, technology, business etc. But spirituality is not a race. If we are trying to prove ourselves more knowledgeable, more eloquent than others then we are still in the realm of intellect, not devotion.
Rajpita Ji further added, humanity must understand that it is not about reading a thousand books, spirituality is not an intellectual subject; it is pure and unconditional love. When one surrenders before the Satguru and receives divine knowledge, life becomes illuminated by this enlightenment itself.
He also mentioned that those who have tasted this love attain the state of Kabir and Meera – not by just reading their teachings, but by living their spirit. Even without knowing Meera’s dance or Kabir’s couplets, their lives become a living hymn, a song of divine union. In essence, love is devotion and devotion is love.
It is noteworthy that Honourable Chief Minister of Haryana, Shri Nayab Singh Saini came to seek from Satguru Mata Ji and Nirankari Rajpita Ji on the 3rd day of the Samagam.
Excellent provisions have been made for community kitchens (Langars) and food distribution across every ground of the Samagam complex. Four large community kitchens are operational to serve well-organised meals to thousands of devotees. In addition, 22 canteens across the grounds are providing tea, coffee, cold drinks, and other refreshments at subsidised rates.
Free chiropractic services are being provided and 2,300 patients have benefited from this technique so far. A team of nearly 11 doctors from the USA and Europe offered their services at the Samagam ground. This treatment technique is entirely related to the spine. Chiropractic treatment works by correcting spinal structure, thus improving the health of the entire body, and it provides positive results.
In addition to the chiropractic services, 120 bedded-hospital has been set up. There are 42 ambulances available on-site, 30 provided by the health department of Haryana and 12 by the Mission. More than 1000 volunteers are actively involved in serving the patients. So far, more than 10,000 patients have benefitted from the services.
Additionally, eight allopathic and six homeopathic dispensaries are functioning at each ground. Physiotherapy services are also available with 15 machines.
