Greetings in the Name of Saints

by Reverend Emil J. Christesen

Hazur Baba Sawan Singh Ji Maharaj, Whose birth anniversary we celebrated on 27^th July, left the earth plane twenty years ago; but to those who have opened the Inner Eye, He is ever present and during meditation frequently appears together with Great Master Kirpal Singh Ji Maharaj.

Master Jesus said:

… Lo, I am with you always.

To the Christians through the years these have been comforting words, no doubt; but to the initiates of our Great Master Kirpal Singh they have become a living reality. Purity of mind and heart enables us to contact these Great Beings, with the competent help of the Living Master of our time.

All Great Masters have taught us the importance of living a moral and ethical life, without which we cannot even start the Spiritual Inward Journey back to the Father. Most of us, as sincere seekers, are doing this already – or think we are! But there is much more to it than moral and ethical living. We must learn to love and cherish all – in thought, word, and deed. We should love the sinner but not the sin. We must become more tolerant of the shortcomings we see in others – which are perhaps but a reflection of our own. Needless to say, we all fall short of the law in one way or another.

The greatest tribute we could pay to the memory of Hazur Sawan Singh Ji Maharaj would be to renew the Spiritual Bond of fellowship in sweet remembrance of the Lord of Lords. This would help much, as Love heals all wounds, and where there is Love, there is no law sayeth Hazur Maharaj. The Living Master of our own time is the example for us all to follow. If we can but keep our attention on Him, he will direct our Path within and without.

A Prayer

Supreme Father, we know that before we open our mouths, You already know what is in our hearts. But we beg Thee, oh Lord, to help us to achieve that which is impossible to man alone. We know that Thou hast sent Thy son, Satguru Kirpal Singh Ji, to help us out of the troubles we have put ourselves in, and the wrong thoughts that have accumulated through the years and lives we have lived. We ask the Great Master to raise us to Himself above and continue this Inner Mission until we become One with the Father as He is.

Helpless are we and merciful are Thou, what can we, the sinners say unto Thee. In spite of our broken words of no meaning accept us and grant us the gift of perfection.
