A student of the martial arts, for instance, has to learn it from an expert in the art. A novice in surgery has to master the art from some reputed surgeon. Books on these various subjects cannot by themselves make a student expert in the subject. It is the practical demonstration and the actual operation in the operating room under the guidance of an adept in the profession that matters. <b>If all these physical sciences, which are studied and mastered on the physical plane, require the help of a teacher, how then can we aspire to attain heights in a spiritual science that extends far beyond the physical senses? </b> Spirituality is a field of study that culminates in the aspirant realizing their true nature as soul and then in the realization of their oneness with God. There are two aspects of spiritual knowledge that can help us realize our soul: the theoretical knowledge, and the personal or practical knowledge. The theoretical side can be gleaned from textbooks about the experiences of others before us. The practical side is dependent on a technique that can only be learned from a fully realized person. So, while a student of spirituality may read all the books in every library of the world to master theoretical knowledge of the field, they may not be able to have a direct experience of their true nature until they receive the complete meditation instructions from a spiritual Master. It is no different than reading volumes of books about water without ever having tasted the liquid. Without direct experience, we remain ignorant about the subject at hand. Thus, if we are to master the practical side of this science, we must seek the guidance of a competent teacher.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built="1" admin_label="Quote" _builder_version="4.9.1" _module_preset="default" background_color="#ba832b" collapsed="on"][et_pb_row column_structure="2_5,3_5" _builder_version="4.9.1" _module_preset="default"][et_pb_column type="2_5" _builder_version="4.9.1" _module_preset="default"][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.9.2" _module_preset="default" text_text_color="#FFFFFF"]<div class="sos-quote-wrapper sos-quote-white-text"> <div class="sos-quote-text"> <div class="sos-section-quote-content sos-text-align-justify"><b><i>The spiritual Master and saints are like expert gardeners who can teach us how to tend to the seeds of our soul, so we can blossom forth into the spectacular flowers God meant us to be.</i></b></div> </div> <div class="sos-quote-author sos-quote-authornew">- SANT RAJINDER SINGH JI MAHARAJ</div> </div>[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="3_5" _builder_version="4.9.1" _module_preset="default"][et_pb_image src="https://perf.stage.aws.wp.sos-dev.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Use-for-Meditation-sq.jpg" title_text="Use-for-Meditation-sq" disabled_on="on|on|on" _builder_version="4.9.1" _module_preset="default" custom_margin="-95px||||false|false" disabled="on"][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version="4.9.2" _module_preset="default" custom_margin="-125px||||false|false" custom_margin_tablet="0%||||false|false" custom_margin_phone="" custom_margin_last_edited="on|desktop"]<div class="sos-quote-video"><img src="https://perf.stage.aws.wp.sos-dev.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/sant-rajindar-singh-ji-meet-greet.jpg" width="880" height="592" alt="" class="wp-image-47846 aligncenter size-full" /></div>[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built="1" custom_padding_last_edited="on|desktop" admin_label="The role of spiritual master" _builder_version="4.9.2" _module_preset="default" background_color="#f9f4ed" custom_padding="70px||||false|false" custom_padding_tablet="50px||||false|false" custom_padding_phone="" locked="off" collapsed="off"][et_pb_row column_structure="1_2,1_2" make_equal="on" disabled_on="on|on|on" admin_label="Quote Images" _builder_version="4.8.2" _module_preset="default" custom_margin="30px||||false|false" custom_margin_tablet="20px||||false|false" custom_margin_phone="10px||||false|false" custom_margin_last_edited="on|phone" disabled="on"][et_pb_column type="1_2" _builder_version="4.6.6" _module_preset="default"][et_pb_image src="https://perf.stage.aws.wp.sos-dev.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/g25173_left.png" title_text="g25173_left" disabled_on="on|on|on" admin_label="Quote Image -1 " _builder_version="4.7.7" _module_preset="default" disabled="on"][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="1_2" _builder_version="4.8.2" _module_preset="default"][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure="2_5,3_5" make_equal="on" _builder_version="4.9.0" _module_preset="default" custom_padding="37px||37px||false|false"][et_pb_column type="2_5" _builder_version="4.9.0" _module_preset="default" border_width_top="2px" border_color_top="#e1b93c" border_width_right="2px" border_color_right="#e1b93c"][et_pb_text admin_label="Quote Text -1" _builder_version="4.9.4" _module_preset="default"]<div class="sos-quote-wrapper sos-quote-border-wrapper sos-text-merriweather"> <div class="sos-quote-text"> <div class="sos-section-revolution-quote-content sos-text-align-justify"> <span class="sos-medium-large-text sos-bold-text">The role of the spiritual Master</span> is to help people reunite with God within.

Having once been a student themselves, a spiritual Master is keenly aware of the intricacies and challenges that lay before the practitioner. They take the time to teach the student the fundamentals of spirituality so that the student can build upon those strong fundamentals. They show us the pitfalls and obstacles on the way and help us steer clear of distractions so we can complete the journey successfully and in the shortest possible time.

Anchor the Mind in God

March 8, 2021

Today, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj spoke about the importance of anchoring our mind in God so that we can experience lasting joy and happiness. Each new day brings new challenges our way, he said. These challenges, whether physical, mental, emotional, or any other type, bring turmoil into our lives and impact our ability to remain still, thus impacting our meditations and our spiritual progress.

Using a vivid and illustrative anecdote, the spiritual Master explained that we need to find stable ground amid the changing panorama of life. A rock in the sea remains unmoved, despite the changing seasons, because it is anchored deep within the ocean’s bottom. Likewise, if we are to weather the storms that come our way and remain unfazed by the changing landscape around us, we too need to be anchored in something stable and permanent—God. God was in the beginning, God is today, and God will exist through the end of creation.

Currently, our mind is anchored in the outer world, and this is why we are so easily impacted by all that happens. We need to anchor our mind in God. As the mind focuses on God in meditation, it is stilled. In the stillness of the body and the mind, the soul soars. It is in this stable situation that the spiritual realms and divine vistas open to us.

Sant Rajinder Singh Ji said that just like we tune into various channels on a television, we can tune into the channel of God through meditation and partake of beautiful lights within. The key to success in our meditations is to always anchor our mind in God. By doing so, we can partake of all the joys that God has reserved for each one of us.
