[Guest guest]

Sant Rajinder Singh: If followers of every religion

truly observed the teachings of their great

Saints, the whole world would be an abode

of love. People would be having direct

experiences of God. People would have love

for all humanity and all creation. There

would be no wars, no crime, no discord.

There would be joy and peace on our planet.

Followers of each religion would have

tolerance, respect, and love for people of all

other religions. They would each recognize

that we are all children of one Lord, whether we

worship with our head covered or uncovered. They

would each recognize we are all brothers and

sisters in God whether we worship barefoot or

wearing shoes. They would realize that outer

customs can differ just as flowers in a garden

are multicolored yet all emit a sweet fragrance.

They would realize that the fundamental truth of

each religion is that God is love.

 

 

Throughout the ages, Saints come to this

world to remind us of the essential unity of all

religions. They come to teach humanity the eternal

truth that God is within us and He can be reached

through the Path of Spiritual Love. If we listen

to their simple message, we will learn how we too

can realize God and reunite our soul with the

Oversoul. Their first lesson is that God is all

love. Before creation came into being, God was an

eternal Ocean of Love. He was all blissful

consciousness. It is said that God wanted someone

to love Him.

 

 

This set the whole creation into motion. His desire

is expressed in Sufism as, "God said, 'Be,' and all

became." It resulted in a vibration, and the

vibration consisted of two primal manifestations,

Light and Sound. This Light and Sound is the power

that brought all creation into being, from the

material realms as well as this earth, humanity, and

all species of life. It is referred to in various

scriptures as Shabd, Bani, Logos, Kalma, Naam, or

Word. God separated drops of Himself to inhabit the

various worlds. These drops are called souls.

 

 

Because God is love, our essential nature is love.

Presently, we are environed in mind and matter, and

we have forgotten our true self. To enter the

region of God, we have to be free from any tainted

material. The pristine beauty of our soul has been

covered for ages with the grime of the negative

traits of anger, lust, greed, attachment, and ego. The

Saints see the inherent beauty in each soul. But they

also see how the soul is deeply imbedded in the mire

of mind and illusion. Their job is to extricate us

from this tangled web so we can regain our purity and

merge back in God. That required purity consists of

having a heart full of love, love for God, and love

for all creation.
