Guest guest Posted May 6, 2001 Report Share Posted May 6, 2001 by Sants Darshan & Kirpal Singh Ji <br>Maharaj, Part 1 <br><br>DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS - the people are crying for peace. How can we <br>have<br>it? Peace should start from our hearts. We should give out peace as <br>prayed<br>by Guru Nanak: "Peace be unto all the world over, under Thy Will, O <br>God."<br>And for this, naturally, there must be a spiritual revolution.<br><br>The world is already in revolution; but this revolution should be <br>different.<br>This revolution should not be of the body, but against the evil <br>propensities<br>of the mind which keep us away from God. This will be achieved if we <br>give<br>right understanding to the people at large, which will result in right<br>thoughts. First comes understanding; then come right thoughts, which <br>result<br>in right speech, and right speech will result in right actions. The <br>whole<br>thing starts from right understanding.<br><br>So you will find right understanding first lies in recognizing that <br>there is<br>a Maker of the universe who is the Controlling Power and permeates all<br>creation. This world did not come out of itself; there is a Maker, and<br>scientists lately have come to this conclusion, that the whole creation <br>is<br>controlled by some Power which is conscious.<br><br>So this is the first thing: the whole world is the manifestation of <br>God, no<br>East and no West, the earth below and the sky overhead is His <br>manifestation.<br><br>Guru Nanak went to Mecca. At night he was lying down with his feet <br>toward<br>the Kaaba, the house of God. The clergy-men over there rebuked him, <br>"Why are<br>you lying with your feet toward the house of God?" He politely told <br>them,<br>"Dear friend, I see God all around, there is no place where He is not. <br>If<br>you think there is any side where God is not, you may turn my feet that<br>way." You see? So Masters say, "All is holy where devotion kneels." <br>This is<br>the first right understanding.<br><br>A great Muslim Saint says, "The whole earth is blessed because God <br>permeates<br>all. If my followers find the time for prayers they can sit on any <br>ground<br>anywhere and say prayers to God. No matter what way their face is - <br>because<br>God is everywhere." The Koran, the Muslim scripture, also says: "God is<br>everywhere." It matters little whether we face toward West or East; say <br>your<br>prayers where you are.<br><br>So this is the first right understanding: We are living in Him, have <br>our<br>being in Him, He is in us, outside us, above us, below us. Like fish we <br>have<br>our existence in Him. That is right understanding. And further: God <br>made man<br>with equal privileges, all born the same way, no high, no low; all have <br>got<br>the same outer concessions - eyes, ears, etc., - and all have the same <br>inner<br>concession: we are kept in the body by some higher Power which is the <br>same<br>for all. So this is right understanding: that we have this thing - God<br>resides in every heart - and that all is holy where devotion kneels, <br>all are<br>born with the same privileges from God - no high, no low, no East, no <br>West.<br>And this will result in right thoughts.
