Mother’s Day
Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj
May 10, 2020
Today is Mother’s Day, a day on which we show love and gratitude to our mothers for the help they have provided us to make us who we are today. This is a day on which we honor our mothers. It is a day on which we reflect upon how they have been taking care of us ever since we were infants, how they clothed us, how they dressed us, how they cooked food for us, and how they taught us what we needed to know to make our life successful.
When we reflect on what our mother has done for us so we can prosper and learn, and how our life has improved due to the love that we have received from her, then we also have to realize that it is not the deeds and the actions for which we are feeling grateful. When we reflect on this aspect and consider why mothers care so much for their children, then we reach the underlying principle of our whole universe. The underlying principle for their deeds and actions is the love that they have in their hearts.
On this day, and every day, let us appreciate the gift of love, how much love our mothers have for us and how much we have gained from that love. Let us also remember the one who created all mothers, God, and let a mother’s love remind us of the love that God has for us.
I wish all the mothers of the world a Happy Mother’s Day.

Meditation is an Effortless Effort
When we meditate, we should pray to God to show us and give us whatever God thinks is best for us. We should sit lovingly as if we were an empty cup that is open so God can pour divine Nectar into us.
The Oneness of All Life
True spiritual development comes when we realize that we are all one. With that realization, we no longer feel superior to others. We reach a state in which we recognize that all are important.
The Power of Loving-kindness
Part of our spiritual progress is based on developing a kind spirit. To do this, we need to put ourselves in the shoes of others. It means feeling the joys and pains of others. We can ask ourselves if the words we say to others are the words we want others to say to us.
