Jagah jagah badh rahi avargee
Arthiyan nikal rahi hai pyar ki
Preet aaj reet ban kar rah gaye
Hai hukumat vair ki takrar ki
Pyar to parmatma ka phul hai
Pyar ki sugandh hi to mul hai
Dusre ki cheez pe na maan kar
Hai amanat zindgee din char ki
Pyar hi to Ishwar ka naam hai
Akhand hai, Aanant hai, Anaam hai
Karm ke bina na yan phal sake
Karm hi pehchan hai Guftaar ki
Pyar ki galyion mein hai parmatma
Yaar ki taliyoon mein hai parmatma
Pyar ki bina bekar Zindgee
Pyar hai sogat Nirakar ki
Jeharko amrit banana sikh lo
Kahar ko dil se mitana sikh lo
Gyan lekar rakh na do tijoriyon mein
Gyan ko bhi chahat hai vistar ki
Preet ke jo geet gata jayega
Anand hi anand pata jayega
Dub na jaye kanhin sansaar ye
Bant do saugaat isme pyar ki
Dub jao pyar ke sangeet mein
Aatma, parmatma ke geet mein
Viswa aaj apko hai dekhta
Zindgee ko hai zarurat pyar ki

Babaji's Discource in Samagam @ Delhi
62nd Annual Nirankari Sant Samagam
Day-1 Saturday, November 14, 2009
In his message to mankind on November 14, 2009, the first day of Annual Samagam, His Holiness Baba Hadev Singh Ji Maharaj stated;
“Every year devotees belonging to different places and cultures, who speak different languages and wear different clothes from each other, gather in this form to distribute the fragrance of love and also make their significant contribution for spreading it further in the world. Creating a beautiful atmosphere in these grounds, all of you are also helping strengthen the feelings of humanity, love, brotherhood and a feeling to sincerely fulfill all of one’s responsibilities. May God Formless bless so that the objective with which you have gathered here, is fulfilled; so that there is love and brotherhood in your life as well as the world.
The atmosphere prevalent in the world is known to all; even the country has many weaknesses which make it backward instead of strong; mankind is getting damaged throughout the world. All of you have gathered here to pray to God Formless to give wisdom to all so that all live a beautiful life, make a beautiful contribution and make this earth beautiful.”
Later blessing the congregation, His Holiness Baba Hardev Singh Ji Maharaj stated;
“All of you have gathered here for this 62nd Annual Nirankari Sant Samagam. Devotees wait throughout the year to come here and enjoy the atmosphere of Samagam where devotees belonging to different parts of country and the world and cultures sing one song of love in one voice. Though spoken in different words and manner yet the voice, the song is one. In the last seven hours many spoke of love and brotherhood, highlighted the significance of One Formless God in life. All of you also heard the words of some of the Honorable dignitaries responsible for the governance of the country; they also expressed similar feelings because this is what is urgently needed today.
The direction which man is following today, the tendencies and inclinations with which he lives his life is showing its result. Saints warn man that the direction he is facing is not to his benefit. So he should face and move towards a direction which benefits him as well as also helps create a beautiful atmosphere in the world. Man today has fallen from his lofty status; his selfishness, narrow-mindedness, hard-heartedness and barbarity is causing much weaknesses to the society as well as the world and taking it towards destruction. Man wastes away in vain the limited life-breath which he is given. What sort of wisdom is it? Saints give man the message to realize the value of his life-breath.
Man makes innumerable achievements and feels yet as a poet says, ‘Aadmi Kau Hi Mayassar Nahin Insaan Hona’ – that man is not human. He gets born as a human, attains precious life-breath and yet what is its value that he realizes? Saints in every age asked man to awaken and get established in his true form. Man has lost his true identity somewhere, though he knows much about others and other subjects! He has still not awakened and established in his true form even after living his life for so many years; it is because of such an awakening that human life is considered precious. That is why man is also counted as an animal and inhuman. Saints want man to get established in his true form before his life-breath stops; man gets established in illumination, those feelings and outlook which benefits him and also makes the atmosphere of the world beautiful; so that man makes a success of his life before his life-breath stops.
Saints warn man to realize the value of his life-time and find his true identity which he has lost. Man cannot find where he is lying buried! He is ignorant of his Destination. Man’s destination is worldly achievements; for that he is ready to kill innocents and cause death and destruction. Man gives minimum significance to the most significant aspect of his life. That is why saints had to put in a lot of effort; it was not an easy task on the part of Gurus, saints and prophets; they are still doing it because man has always been living in such a manner in the world. In every age man collected and enjoyed the objects for his comfort and enjoyment; today man has made an enormous progress in science, technology and other fields; there might be some difference in the kind of worldly progress man made in different ages. But the basics, in man were always the same; the feelings of greed, anger, attachment, pride were the same in man in every age. That is why saints had to give this message in every age. Lord Rama, Krishna, different Upanishads, scriptures, different saints at different times asked man to use his thinking which God has given him to also think about the Redemption of soul and also get rid of the evil tendencies of the mind through this awakening.
Saints are giving a similar message to man to understand this aspect while he is still living wherein lies her own welfare and whereby he can make a contribution even for others’ welfare. Such a message is meaningful and valueable. The words of saints are not meant only for the enjoyment of ears; they are extremely significant. It is essential to adopt them instead of merely hearing them. It is by moving one’s footsteps in their direction that man can Redeem himself. The river is constantly flowing; whether someone drinks its water or not, takes a bath with its water or not, does not make any difference to the river; the one who drinks its water quenches his thirst, the one who bathes with its water removes his dirt. Similarly, the words of saints are redeeming; it depends upon every man whether or not he wants to immerse himself in that sea; whether or not he will give significance to Truth in life; whether or not he will remove the darkness of his ignorance; whether or not he will leave hatred and adopt love; whether or not he will leave pride and adopt humility; what he chooses from the choices he was given and what was its result? History tells us about what was attained by those who chose an inhuman as well as human path, the unsaintly as well as the saintly path; one received condemnation while the others attained reverence; one is looked down upon whereas the others got fame.
Despite his thinking power given to him, if man chooses what causes loss, can he be considered wise? He gives a proof of his unwisdom at every step and yet thinks he is very wise? He is disillusioned that he is very wise and educated! Saints show him the mirror that his actions do not prove so; he is a human to look at but his actions prove him differently. Who takes advantage from the mirror which saints put before him? Did he remove the marks from his face and put his disheveled hair in place by looking into the mirror? Or did he look into the mirror and yet did not do anything to make himself beautiful?
Today there are innumerable human to look at, but how many are truly human? There is a vast difference between only a human face and human tendencies. Saints want man to also adopt human tendencies and actions. Man reaches materialistic heights but he should also live a truly human life upon earth. This is the objective behind the Samagam which has been organised.”

Building Your House
Building Your House
by Pankaj Tiwari, Delhi, India
An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer-contractor of his plans to leave the house-building business and to live a leisurely life with his wife and enjoy his extended family. He would miss the paycheque each week, but he wanted to retire. They could get by.
The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end a dedicated career.
When the carpenter finished his work, his employer came to inspect the house. Then he handed the front-door key to the carpenter and said, "This is your house... my gift to you."
The carpenter was shocked!
What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently.
So it is with us. We build our lives, a day at a time, often putting less than our best into the building. Then, with a shock, we realize we have to live in the house we have built. If we could do it over, we would do it much differently.
But, you cannot go back. You are the carpenter, and every day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Someone once said, "Life is a do-it-yourself project." Your attitude, and the choices you make today, help build the "house" you will live in tomorrow. Therefore, Build wisely!
Peace Within
Ideology | 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.

Aim of Human Life
Ideology | Aim of Human life
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.

Introduction to Mission
About The Mission
The Sant Nirankari Mission is an all embracing spiritual movement, cutting across all divisions of caste, color, and creed.The Mission seeks to reveal God, also known as Nirankar, to all human beings irrespective of their religious faith, sect, or community and thus liberate them from the shackles of ignorance, superstition, ritualism, and dogmatism in the name of devotion to God. It firmly believes that the realization of God is the real objective of human life and this can be achieved only through the benevolence of the living true master: the Satguru..The realization of God not only maintains balance between spirituality and materialism in day to day life, but also takes a person to the cherished achievement of brotherhood of mankind which leads to peaceful coexistence.The meditation here is to feel the existence of God all of the time and everywhere. The Mission also emphasizes the need and importance of the company of fellow enlightened beings (Satsang) and selfless service to humanity (Sewa).
