To recognize our true self, it is essential to know the Supreme Existence, the Supreme Being, because only through Brahmgyan (God Knowledge) self-realization is possible,” said Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj while addressing the vast congregation of devotees gathered on the first day of the four-day 78th Annual Nirankari Sant Samagam being held at Samalkha (Haryana).
In this Samagam Hundreads of Sewadal Members & devotees of Sadh Sangat Nirankari Saints from Tricity reached the Samagam. Devotees from across India and various parts of the world, representing diverse cultures and traditions, filled the atmosphere at the Samagam with devotion and reverence.
Satguru Mata Ji emphasised that there are many religions in the world, and everyone has their own faith, yet all speak of the same Truth — the One Formless God. In reality, it is this eternal, unchanging Nirankar that remains constant in all ages. When one connects and unites with this source, feelings of division or duality do not arise within.
The central theme of this Samagam, ‘Aatma-Manthan’ (The Journey Within), inspires everyone to undertake an inner journey based on this eternal Truth — to reflect and improvise upon one’s actions and thoughts and align them with the divine essence.
Emphasizing on the theme of the Samagam, Satguru Mata Ji mentioned that, Atam-Manthan self-churning - calls us to introspect deeply, to align our thoughts before they become our actions. Transformation begins within; like the deer searches for musk which is already in its navel, we too seek outside what already exists within.
When this Truth is realized through God Knowledge, awareness itself becomes a way of life—effortless, natural and filled with love for all and acceptance of all.Her Holiness further mentioned that this awakening is instantaneous, like switching on a light in a dark room, but those who only pretends to sleep cannot be awakened.
Similarly, spiritual awakening demands sincerity and not mere formality. Attending Satsang without attention is like being present in body but, absent in mind.Satguru Mata Ji said that True instrospection is not psychological but spiritual. It means facing our own mistakes candidly and keeping Nirankar before us in every moment.
When the Formless fills the mind, ego finds no place. Ego (Ahankar) and the Formless (Nirankar) cannot co-exist. To progress, we must replace self-praise with humility and the sense of doership with surrender. As Nirankari Rajmata Ji used to say “When a sack of sugar tears, only sugar spills out; what we hold within will show in our actions.” If Nirankar is within, only sweetness will emerge.
Satguru Mata Ji prayed for the entire humanity that may everyone dwell in devotion—where love, humility, and surrender flow naturally, and the devotees live effortlessly in the will of the Formless.The Samagam was also attended by the Honorable Governor of Haryana, Ashish Kumar Ghosh, along with his wife, to seek blessings from Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj and Nirankari Rajpita Ji.
While addressing the mammoth gathering, the Governor praised the selfless service being rendered by the Mission across the globe, promoting universal human values and spiritual harmony. He also interacted with the members of sewadal during his visit.
Sewadal Rally
On the second day of the Samagam, a Sewadal Rally was conducted with participation from volunteers from across India and overseas. The rally also featured various physical activities, games, and cultural performances, emphasizing the essence of selfless service.
Addressing the volunteers, Satguru Mata Ji emphasized that a devotee is always in service to humanity; however, when one dons the Sewadal uniform, the responsibility increases manifold. The service is dedicated to the devotees attending the congregation.
Her Holiness encouraged everyone to eliminate ego and practice Sewa with utmost humility to truly embrace the spirit of selfless service. Her Holiness reminded that a true Sewadal volunteer should constantly self-reflect on whether their Sewa is genuine or merely for recognition.The skits and presentations during the rally beautifully depicted that service is not just a task but a divine feeling that should be reflected in our actions and even in the language of our body and mind.
In her concluding message, Satguru Mata Ji inspired everyone to keep increasing their spirit of service, remembrance, and devotion, dedicating their lives to Nirankar and contributing positively to society. During the rally, Shri Vinod Vohra, Member Incharge Foreign Department sought blessings from Mata Ji to bless everyone with unwavering devotion and faith.
