    Dear brothers and sisters!

    You all know that the purpose o human lie is veryunique. It has its own glory. Even big kings were ableto solve the riddle o lie by coming in contact withholy Saints. How could they come in contact? Teyhad yearning, they had devotion or the higher val-ues o lie because they knew whatever they possess isnot more than dust. So even some kings in the world

    could denounce whatever they had; they detached.

    Sant Kirpal Singh tells us that devotion is just like amorning breeze into the garden o our existence.

    You know, the morning breeze is very healthy andour body this body is said to be a garden, our ex-istence has a garden. When there is spring weather,owers come out o the buds, they give smell and thewhole atmosphere is ull o smell. So is the conditionwith our devotion unto our Lord.

    Sant Kirpal Singh tells us, without devotion there isno right search. We can meet a lot o persons in theworld who are very devoted, but they do not nd theway out. Tey are yearning, but they are not helped.Is there not any way or them? Yes, there is a way.Te way is very open or everybody, but Master tellsus, Tose who remain ignorant and go ignorant,they lose everything, they dont take the heritagewith them, they come empty-handed and go empty-handed. A time comes in the lie o everybody whenthere is yearning, there is devotion, and there is a rul-ing passion (or God) it may come a little bit, it maycome in very short time and it may go, according tothe background. But some people do not make thebest use o that time, so they are mislead.

    I have seen many people eeling unhappy. I you say,ell the reason o your unhappiness, they cannot tell,they do not know why they are unhappy. So it is one

    stage. But everywhere in the world it is like this, thatpeople are more in enjoyment o the senses and otherthings. Tey do not care or such things.

    Guru Nanak used to be very unhappy. Troughoutthe nights he used to weep. His pillow was wet. So hisparents thought, He is suering rom some prob-lem. He said, No, Im not suering rom any prob-lem. It is a stage in my lie. I want to solve it. He was

    shifed rom one place to another place, but it grewmore and more. Tey wanted to add something, anew lie into him, but he did not accept. It (yearning)grew more and more.

    It is said that without a Master even yearning is notpossible. Devotion is not possible. His one word canchange the whole creation. But He respects His ownword, He doesnt do that, He has given some wordto the negative power (that He will not show mira-cles to convince people, but only to explain the truth,so that they come to the path). Otherwise to make

    someone aware o everything is not impossible, eve-rything is possible or Him. But the time actor isthere. I those who are selected on this way live in ac-cordance with the teaching, Master says that withina ew months their whole lie is changed. Tey wouldeel better and better every day.

    Sant Kirpal Singh tells us, O man, i you have aithin yoursel, then what you should do? You shoulddemand awareness at every moment o your lie, be-cause this awareness will lead us to the devotion, tothe surrendrance. But rather they say, O my heart,release my lie, so that I surrender beore the sepa-ration. Because i we are separated (at the time odeath) without surrendrance to the Masterpower, itis a hell, it is a heinous crime, because the purposeo human lie is spoiled or all the time. Tis is a rarechance given to us. And i we lose it, we may or maynot get (another chance).

    Masters come and give this awareness. Surrendrance,awareness, devotion, that all only comes rom theMasterpower. Without Him nobody can tell aboutthe devotion. Nobody can tell how to surrender. No-

    body can tell what we are, who we are, nobody cantell. Only he, who experiences the positive lie, cantell about the positive lie. He creates awareness outo his love, out o the devotion he has or the highercause. Tis devotion serves to all, irrespective o any-thing. We are blocking the way we say, this is goodor me, this is not bad or me, but the Masterpower,He takes everything out o love. For example, no oneis pure with mind in the world. When Master seesthat one is suering ninety percent with problemshe has created and is creating, but He nds only lit-tle goodness, He takes only that goodness and then

    develops him. You know, i we use one goodness orthe right cause, it multiplies like anything. It bringsa very big awakening in man, because when we usethe goodness it always gives awakening. Withoutawakening we cannot use our goodness. And onceit is used it brings us some awakening. Master tells,once we come in contact He tells us how to multiplythat goodness in us. Tis goodness is like a as I toldyou just like a morning breeze. It will change yourlie, it will change the whole atmosphere around youand you eel, Tis is a good way o lie, I must sur-render to that thing.

    When I met Sant Kirpal Singh on the very rst day,I just wanted to sit very behind because I was late. Itwas my rst time, I never knew when there was aSatsang, but I was ollowing Him. He said, No, youcome up! I just wanted to sit in the middle, but Hesaid, No, come up! He made me to sit very closeto Him. He took a Shabad o Kabir: O dear soul,your darkened night has passed, you are now goingthrough the rising sun. Tis lie is like a rising sun.And you know that you can dierentiate, you can seeeverything in its original condition, when the sunhas already risen. Tere can be no doubt when thesun has risen (everything can be seen clearly).

    Tis lie is a sun, where we must not create any doubt.I there is a doubt, we should overcome it, this doubtshould be away. You should not be a part o that doubtyou should not revise it into your heart. You want to

    overcome all these things then you rise above. Youare just like a sun, rising sun, and you should not eelany shadow there. Whatever shadow you eel, it isyour own shadow. Master tells us: o live in shadow

    is also a doubt.

    Masters lie or whatever He gives to others, it is de-void o any doubt, it is devoid o any shadow. WhatHe does? He helps us to orget all those things. Tisis one beauty in Him. Only some traces are lef there,i those things we try to remind, we see these haveno value with us.

    How He changes the lie? It is also very beautiul.All that we do not orget in lie, rather we want tomultiply those things, we want to hanker afer those

    things, we want to live with those things, thesethings automatically become tasteless, they have no

    value. So Master helps us to develop our lie morepotent. Whatever Master says is always pregnantwith meaning, believe Him. Master tells us a disciplerather eels himsel when he becomes conscious: OGod, without devotion or You, I think, I now seethat there was no reason to come back into this man-body. I I came into this man-body, it is only due tohave devotion or You. My only purpose was to takeup devotion or You, to keep devotion or You, whichI lacked in my previous lie. We were devoid o this

    devotion unto the Masterpower, so we are sent intothis world.

    Te wishul persons, they are the beggars o the world.Tey are begging rom the world. Tey say, Yes, weshould have these things. Teir wishes are unlim-ited. So they are dragged in the world. Tere was oneperson without a wish, Bhai Nandhlal, he says, I amthe beggar in the vineyard o my Beloved. I perceivenothing but my Beloved. Because or him the Mas-ter is the Supreme. He wants to get everything romthe holy eet o the Master. And he says, A handulo dust rom the threshold o the Beloved can makethe beggar a monarch, can make the beggar a king.And this is reality, because all you need is containedin Master. Not only here but hereafer. As Christsaid: Love and everything shall be added unto you.All Masters have told that. And those who came romthe highest plane, they gave you the eternal lie. Eter-

    nal lie is ull o millions, millions o happiness. Weare separated rom the reservoir, rom the conscious-ness. We have never been there, ages upon ages. Weare just like in the prison. A man in the prison always

    counts his days till his reedom, when he will be reerom the prison. So those people who know aboutthe reality, who know about the truth, they say: Omy heart, release me rom my lie, I dont want to seethe separation. I want to go with the Beloved. I wantto go back.

    Maulana Rumi, when his last time came, out o loveor him all others started to pray to the Godpower,

    O, God bless him with lie, this is our wish or him.At once he opened his eyes and said, Tis blessingis now or you. He said, I want to go back. He said,

    Tis body was a wall, a separation. Ages upon agesit was standing against me and my Master, I cannotsee. Now I am going back. Dont be a wall against mywish, let me go. Tose who really deserved it, theygot it.

    Tere is a story about Majnu. It was a true love thoughit was a worldly love, Leyla and Majnu, a great storyin India. Majnu loved Leyla so much, so that he be-came the skeleton o bones out o the sweet remem-brance o his beloved. All people knew he becamemad afer her. She was a princess and usually every

    day she used to give some alms to the beggars. A loto beggars used to go to the palace to receive thosealms. One day Majnu also went with those beggarsby holding one cup also in his hand. She gave eve-rything to everybody, but when the turn o Majnucame she struck the bowl rom below and put it onthe earth, and it was broken. So he started to dance.Others said, Majnu, she did not give you anythingbut you are dancing like a ool. He said, No, you areools, you have got something, but I have got every-thing. He said, she has told me: You must break thisbody i you want to meet me. So ar we do not breakthis body, come out o our wishes, we cannot havethe eternal lie, we cannot rejoice with the Beloved,who is within us.

    We cannot say anything about the Masterpower,which is within us. He is the radiant orm o the Mas-ter, He is the Supreme. His beauty cannot be com-

    pared on the level o senses, what He is. And whenthe disciple goes within himsel and sees his ownglory, that matters to him just like earth and sky. Itis a beauty o the soul also within. When both get

    together, they become one, they gloriy each other,they become one. Tey are now having the eternallie. So all Masters have nished with these things.All these things are beyond description because thisis a love matter, this is an everlasting love that has noend. So to ollow a Master in the right perspectivemeans something, it is always pregnant with mean-ing, i really we try to understand it. Masters alwayscried loudly: O Man, understand thy destiny, youare a living son o the living God, dont orget. Andcome to the senses, only or the little enjoyment o alittle time, very little time, very short time, you lose

    the eternal happiness and the eternal lie.

    It is beyond all doubts and beyond all descriptionthat all those practical experiences o our competentMasters can become our experiences; in the verysame way, it will not dier at all.

    Te Masterpower says that He will drag you to thehighest position as He is having. He will take you tothe same height as He is, because otherwise you can-not become one with Him. In the worldly way no-body wishes that others should be like him, he wants

    to be exceptional in the world. Tat is something outo greed, out o duality, out o ignorance with whichwe are aected. But the Masterpower is loveable, Hetakes His child and thinks that this child should be-come like Him. He loves each one o us rom the coreo His heart. Tat is His way o lie that is an art olie, He is blessed by the Godpower, He loves romthe core o His heart, not with the outer attachment,I tell you, He is ull o awareness. Once when yougo there (within), you will have a sip o it and somepeople have told, who just went within, they said: OMaster, we need only one drop, not more than that.O Master, in Your vineyard the consciousness is overbrimming and rom that which is over brimming,You may give me one drop out o it. But the Mastersays, All which is over brimming is or you, not onlya drop. You can take it according to your own wish.

    Tere is no discrimination in the vineyard o the

    Masterpower, because it is ree and it is approachableor everybody. So one can have it according to onesown wish. So who can accuse the Masterpower? Whocan say to the Masterpower: O Masterpower, bless

    us. No, He comes or blessing. He gives us the bless-ing. He blesses anyone who comes in His way, but anyhow sometimes we do not accept His bless-ing. Sometimes we say: We are not ree. We are notready. We are on the level o senses, we take worldlymatters more important than His blessing. But thisblessing, His blessing, is already there. But it does notneed anything it needs only your attention. He says,

    You do, you nish with all this give and take process,but you must give your attention back to yoursel.

    Tose who go within, those who remind themselves,

    they need only attention. I you want to know your-sel, what do you need? Do you need anything to eator you need anything to dress upon? No, you onlyneed your attention, to correct your attention, this isthe only way. But once you withdraw your attentionback to your own sel, that will work wonderully. Itwill work in thousand ways, I tell you. It can be mul-tiplied. With single attention you can overcome oneproblem, and with single attention you help yourselto overcome other problems. So this attention willnot keep you in any x. It will release you rom allthe xes, rom all hindrances and barriers. When

    Masterpowers come, they transmit into many, manyattentions. It is the attention o the Master that worksacross the oceans, across the seven oceans and ndsits way direct to the heart, direct to the yearningheart and He helps there.

    We had a lot o incidences during the lietime o SantKirpal Singh, where people were helped. Tey wrotedown the time (when it happened) and it was the ex-act. Master remembered, (they were helped) and theystarted praising the Master and said: No, we cannotlive without Master. I know one example a lady wastelling. Her two sons were initiated by the Master-power and she was not, she would not like it, she wasmore stick to other isms. Tis mother had a very set-back in her lie she wanted to suicide she ound noway than to suicide. But her sons always insisted onher, Mother, you only simply think o Him, He willhelp you. And dont ignore Him, He is the Master, He

    is the Master o the whole creation, you just think oHim, you dont stick to other objects, they are onlyobjects. So when she was just going or suicide, shethought, Let me ollow the words o my sons, i re-

    ally those are true. A picture o the Master was hang-ing in their house. She went there, she prayed to theMasterpower: I really you are the Master, you helpme in this dreadul time o my lie, when I do not ac-cept any help, and my mind wavers all around, and itdoes not rest at all. Now I nd no way than to suicide,please help me, i you are really a Master. And shesaid that a hand rose out o the picture, and the lightcame, and it struck unto her head and she was un-conscious on the bed there. So she was lying there ornearly two, three hours. When she got up, she totallyorgot i there was any problem in her lie. So she was

    very happy, she atly touched the eet o the Master(when she visited Him) and Master said, I know itwas your wish, otherwise I would never have givenmy eet unto you. So she started to kiss the eet othe Master. She said, For me you are Christ, you areGod. Because who can know who is the Christ? Heis the Power that is innate in the soul. And he, whohelps us to recognize that one, that much we can say,he is connected with that Power. Te one who is con-nected, he has some relation with Him. So let us ol-low him in this way, so we can nd a way out, i reallythere is someone.

    Master used to give an example: You want to go toa certain country where you never went beore. Youwill take some maps, you will inquire rom a lot osources where to go, how to go; you ully becomeconversant with all those things. But while you aredoing all those things, a neighbour, who just hap-pened to come rom the same place you are going to

    visit, and you know that he has come back youwill leave everything, you will say, Yes, let me askhim, because practically he has gone and come back,so let me go and ask him. So naturally he will giveyou some more practical examples o what is noteven written in the scriptures.

    So Master tells us, there is a mention about God inthe Holy Scriptures, but God is not there. God iswithin us. But who can do that, who can reveal Himto you? Who has already revealed this truth unto

    A True Friend is One Who will remain

    with you always - even when you

    have to pay up your accounts. This is

    a True Guru.

    What is more: He gives new life, and

    through devotion connects you

    with the Lord. He bestows a new life

    upon us; and what is that new life? It

    is Light; it is Sound.

    Out of His mercy, He gives His own

    Life-Impulse; and nothing could be

    a greater gift.

    him, he can easily help you to overcome all doubtsand all shadows that are appearing and disappearingon our sub-consciousness.

    In Mohammedanism it is said, I you want to visitMecca, then you should go by sea. Sea means thelong way, yearning is a long way. o go by sea means,to go through tears. When you yearn or somebody,tears ow automatically through your eyes. Yearn-ing is a big actor. One Master has told his nights arelonger than many, many years. He says, Go to some-one, who yearns or God. Once this yearning is oand he meets, then he says, Let this night becomemillions o years, because there is a union. So suchis the condition with yearning. All those who wentback, everybody had to yearn.

    I yearning comes in the lie, even, when our soultranscends back to God it goes very ast with yearn-ing. Whatever we earn out o the Grace o the Mas-ter, it also becomes a big yearning on the level oconsciousness. We do not know, but really i Mas-ter helps us to know, then we will stand nowhere inthe world, we will eel that we are above the world.Because all these things we do, meditation, selessservice, everything that creates yearning in our soul,this yearning turns into devotion.

    Some people we saw that they are very close to goback and once they are shown (their place within),then they cannot stay in this world. O Master, nowtake us back, because otherwise You should not haveshown me my purpose o human lie, my yearningand devotion, that is linked with my lie. Now I can-not stay in this world. Tere was one very devoteddisciple, his name was Saddhu Singh, I told you a loto times. Master told, Now your time has come. Youare now old, you can go back. He said, No, Master, Idont want to go. Without me nobody will work. Teduty I have taken up is very important. I am t to dothat, so I want to do that. Master said: Ok, well, itis very late night, now go to sleep. Overnight Mastertook him above the body-consciousness and showedhim the heritage, which he developed out o selessservice. Tis man, I tell you, he only did the selessservice, he was so devoted to the Masterpower, thathe did everything even without asking, without tell-

    ing the Masterpower because he said, Tis is theright way, I must do it. So, then in the morning heatly surrendered unto the holy eet o the Master.He said, Master, now take me. Master said, Yes-

    terday night you were not ready, how you got ready?He said, Master you had shown me my way, now Icannot live without this place. You have shown memy lie (thereafer within), it is rich, it is glory, glori-ed lie I have. It is all Your Grace. Master tells usthat i you meditate or hundred years as peopleare doing you dont become a real worshipper oGod, because you never yearned or it. It is only a dryworship, it was meaningless, it was not important,maybe it added to your wishes, worldly wishes, but itdid not help you at all. So Master says, You want toreach the Beloved, you go by road, on oot, you wont

    have Him. He says, Make thy heart and head, thyeet and go there and it is only one step beyond, veryclose to you. You will reach there within a moment.

    Tere is a story in the lie o Lord Krishna: His wiewas very devoted to him and once a time came, whenhe was to separate or six months. So she said, LordKrishna, you are going and I will be alone or sixmonths, how will it be? Anyhow, she said, OK, yougo. I will see with what to do. She was yearning andshe surrendered to that power. She remembered himso much, so that afer six months Lord Krishna came

    back he knocked the door. She said, Who is thereon the door? He said, I am Lord Krishna. She said,

    Now I dont need you, because now I mysel have be-come Lord Krishna. Because out o yearning, outo devotion, you become one with Him. Tis is theonly way. I you remember Him, He will also remem-ber you. Your heart is there, His heart is with you, Itell you it is a way.

    Once I wished to go to Master or a certain reason,your Bhiji was with me and some more and in theway we could know that Master is not there. He hadgone to Dehra Dun or certain work, and He wasto come back afer ten days. We thought or a lit-tle: O, Master will not meet us. Later on we orgotwe went there in His sweet remembrance. But whenwe reached in the evening, we saw Master He wasthere in Delhi. One person rom Delhi came thereand asked, Master, You went to Dehra Dun and You

    w w w . K i r p a l S i n g h - t e a c h i n g S . O r g 6

    had to stay there or ten days. How You came back?You just went and came back. Whole day You were inthe car, You were travelling! He said, Tis is right.When I went to Dehra Dun and it was so big storm

    and it was raining and anyhow I could not staythere. I thought, better I should go back. And look-ing towards us He said, I do not know whose loveetched me back.

    So this is a way o love, this is a way o yearning. Heknew that we are coming. I said, Master, we knewthat You are already away rom Delhi, You will notcome back some person told me, but there was asmell, there was a good vibration rom Your sideand we did not eel at all that You are away rom us.Master answered, When Master remembers, smell

    is there, but Master also smells the smell o the disci-ples. It is both equally aecting each other.

    So this is a way, I tell you, we have to create a yearn-ing, I tell you, how this yearning starts. I you re-member the Masterpower, it will give you a radiationor some moments, but you will see that there willbe the interruption o the mind and the intellect. Itwill try to bring you outside, away rom your ownsel. But i you bring your attention back again to thesource, then when you are able to hold your atten-tion there to yoursel, you will see that there will be

    a sweet remembrance o this Masterpower, becauseHe is within us. He is not ar away rom us. He isinnate in our soul. So to hold our attention on thelevel o our consciousness over here (at the seat othe soul), this is a big help or creating yearning inus, means to remain in sweet remembrance o theMasterpower.

    Tere was one shepherd. He was grazing his sheepsand was alone in the orest; he started to yearn orGod. He said, O, God, i You meet me, I can giveYou the sweet milk, I can provide You the sweetmilk. I You eel cold, I will dress You with woollenthings.. and so many things he said in the praiseo the Master, in the praise o God. He created somuch yearning that he started to talk with the God-power within himsel. So his own thoughts were re-

    verberating in him, till Moses passed by him. Mosesheard those things. Te shepherd was unconscious

    about his whereabouts, so Moses heard all what hewas uttering out o his mouth. He said, O oolishchild, whatever you say that is all not good or God.God is not dependent upon your milk. God is not

    dependent upon your woollen clothes. He is aboveeverything. So then the shepherd thought, O, Ihave committed a big blunder. I do not know howto worship a Master, how to worship the Godpower.So he passed away and cried very loudly, O, God,I have created a blunder, I do not know how to re-member You. While crying, he rose above the body-consciousness. God met him and said, Well, dontcry my child, I will come to you, I will accept yourmilk, I will accept whatever you will give me, I loveyou. And he elt that He (God) is taking him to Hisbreast and he elt overjoyed. But overnight God ap-

    peared to Moses and said, Moses, I have sent you tounite the humanity, but not to disunite the humanity.Tat is your purpose. So it can be very easily toldthat Masters come in the world, they unite all o us,they come to unite all o us in one knot. And whereasa lot o people come they disunite us, they bring innew thoughts, they say these are the thoughts, thisis well, good; these will make you separate rom all,you can become a very amiliar gure, like so manychoice they gave out o their own wishes. So such isthe thing.

    Tis is not a new philosophy, it (the truth) is innatein our soul and without this there is no possibility.People say they have no time, but who says you musthave a time? Master says, No, you must have theheart, you have the head, you have the heart, use it.Whereas we are using it in useless things, we shoulduse it in the proper way, in the proper sense. So itmatters to your attention, how to use your head andheart or the right cause. It does not cost you any-thing, but it gives you a lot. It benets you through-out your lie. It gives you eternal lie. It gives you adevotional touch in your lie. Rather it brings yourlie very smooth, healthy and it brings calmness inyour lie. So these are the things which come romour competent Masters. Not rom one, but rom thelie o all competent Masters, their experiences are

    very unique. Some Masters have told, some Mastershave not told, but there is the reality.

    So, i we analyse rom the lives o competent Masters,or those, who yearned or it, they say, O child, yearnor your ull awareness. I we have to yearn, then weshould yearn or our ull awareness, not hal aware-

    ness. We are not to stay in the way, we have to goback. So with ull awareness we can have our herit-age back, we can be one with Him. Just like a child,who is hungry, he demands milk rom his mother, hecries or the milk. You may provide many, many toys,he will throw them away, he will not accept it, be-cause he needs milk, he is hungry. So when the milkis given, he is happy. So is the condition those whoreally yearn or it (or God), they wont demand any-thing in the way, they even dont demand the heaven.Tey dont even demand or the salvation, they wantthe love o God. Tey want to go to that place, once

    they departed rom. Tey want to come in contactwith the One who has come rom that place, not be-low. Yearning is such a thing.

    Master tells us, O, my child, yearn or your ullawareness, not a little bit less. I you do that now,what will be there? Your whole purpose o lie will besolved. People would like to stay at certain places, soour purpose is to yearn, to learn and yearn, more welearn, more we yearn.

    It is also said, someone went to the heaven and

    knocked the door o the heaven. Te attendant with-in the heaven said, Who is that person? He said, Iam a teacher, I was a teacher there. He said, Youstay at the door, let me ask, I will inorm you. Hecame afer a short time, he said, Tere is no placeor any teacher in the heaven. Only disciples are ad-mitted. Tose who want to learn more, they are ad-mitted over here others are not admitted. So suchis the thing. It is even rom the spiritual philosophy,that one has to yearn till the last breath. More weyearn, more we learn. I you yearn, then you havesomething within you; that will come automaticallywithin you; that can become a part and parcel o yourlie. And that will help you. I you do not pay yourattention to your own sel what will be the things?You will start to become ignorant. People become ig-norant because they do not use their awareness. Youhave some awareness, yearn to have it more. Tenyou will have more.

    Baba Sawan Singh used to say, Sant Kirpal Singh hasdrunk all oceans and still His lips are thirsty, becauseHe has crossed all barriers. Still He is thirsty to knowsomething more. He yearns more and more.

    So as there is no end to the love, it grows more andmore, it widens and gets vast. So is the condition(with love), there is no end to it. Tis is rom thepractical lie o such people who really yearned andhad it. And those are the ake and very hard experi-ences which are being told in the world, and theyare not our subject, this is not our subject. Our sub-

    ject is within ourselves, not outside.

    Master tells us, Go into the sanctuary o your heart,everything is there. It is blooming there. You just go

    there you see your own glory within yoursel. Howyou eel, how you developed, how you come up withall those problems? You know, one cannot be devel-oped unless one wants to develop. So when one is onthe way, one can nd a way out when one is yearningor it. During nighttime, when it is very dark, pitch-dark, you do not know where to go. But you haveto go somewhere, where you never went. Tere youhave to put your ull attention, very strong attention,to nd (the way) really i there is any voice com-ing rom anywhere, you will see that, there you willeel that, here are the dogs barking. From where you

    hear some sound, you will say, Yes, there is a place,there some people are living this at least you areknowing. But same is the thing (within). Yearningitsel nds a way out, I tell you. And Masterpowerhelps us.

    So yearning means to nd something within our ownsel. Tis is what is really meant by the yearning: tond the solution to all our problems within ourselves.Te disease is within, the remedy is also within. Tequestion is within, the answer is also within. So whatis within, how can you get it outside? You have lostsomething outside. Now outside is darkness, and

    are you searching it in the room because there islight? How you can nd that thing you have lostoutside? Or (the other way round): I you have lostsomething inside, are you getting it outside? It is notpossible. So you have to nd it in the proper place.

  • 8/14/2019 Devotion - A Beautiful Way Back to God - Dr Harbhajan Singh

    11/11

    Te Masterpower is innate in ourselves and It cannotbe had without yearning, without devotion, withoutlove, and everything yearning, devotion and love

    that is within ourselves, it is not outside. So all these

    things we have to nd. So Masters said they ounda beautiul way back to God. Tis they never knew,how it was, but it was meant or everybody. Tere isnothing wrong with anybody. Physically there maybe a lot o dierences, a lot o opinions, but whenone transcends within the body, one nds only one

    opinion, only one, a grand trunk road going back tohome eternal, very easy way. And more you yearn,more it is accessible.

    So thank you, wishing you all, that is good or you.
