Published in Sant Mat Meditation and Spirituality·8 hours agoThe River (Soul) Flows Into the Ocean (God)“Sant Tulsidas also explains with an analogy: ‘The water of a river that has reached the ocean becomes one with the ocean and no longer has an identity of a river. The river has become part of the ocean.’ “Just as the water of the river find peace in union with the ocean, in the same manner when the soul unites with God, duality disappears, and the soul becomes tranquil. River is no longer a river it becomes ocean. When the soul (atman) is united with the One or God it is no longer an individual soul (Jivatma), but it is the Supreme Soul (Paramatma). This is the highest state of achievement and bliss: the state of complete unity of the Soul and God.” (Swami Sant Sevi Ji Maharaj)Sant Mat1 min readSant Mat1 min read

We understand that true happiness is something that is very internal to us. So, we should aim at going within. We should aim at realizing the reality — and that work is done by Simran. With all our chores outside — with all our activities that we do outside — we should first remember that we should do our Simran and Dhyan Bhajan because that is the true work that we have to do.” (Baba Ram Singh, August 2018 Meditation Talk)Meditation1 min readMeditation1 min read
