Dear brothers and sisters,

As you all know, today is a very auspicious day. Babuji Maharaj has written that on this most auspicious occasion, Lalaji Maharaj descended on Earth specifically to help human beings to accept the spiritual life, walk on it behind the Master who is always the guide, and try to reach the destination in this lifetime. In this lifetime – this was emphasised again and again by Babuji Maharaj, because we have no surety about the next life. It is not merely that religions, several of them, don’t accept reincarnation – Christianity, for instance. Also, as Babuji Maharaj said, “Even for those who believe in reincarnation, how can they be sure that they will be here on earth again, and have the services of a really qualified guru, master, to help them? It's very uncertain. In this life itself we do not know what is going to happen the next moment.

When we started satsangh, we did not know it was going to rain. It is very welcome because, among the Hindus, it is most auspicious and a sign of blessing that when we celebrate a great occasion like this, it should rain. Particularly so because it is unseasonal – nobody expects rain in the middle of February.

So we are all very fortunate indeed to have taken human birth, to have found a guru and, most importantly, to have let the divine spark in our heart speak to us however feebly, but strong enough to bring us on this path. Babuji Maharaj would say, in his very sweet way with a smile: “Congratulations to you all,” but he would also add that the journey is not over. It goes on and on. That is why his book is called Towards Infinity – because it is really an infinite journey.

But this human birth is also the most difficult life to handle. The lesser forms – the animals, the birds, the insects – they all evolve naturally to the human state. And here we are caught in a trap – a trap of desire and ego. Ego is the most troublesome and almost impossible barrier to overcome on our spiritual path...
... Love flows without looking for who takes it. “No, no, I have no lover. How can I love without a lover?” That is not love; that is affection; that is dependence; that is physical. In its worst form, it is sex. I wonder how this purely physical thing came to be called love-making. I don’t know how anybody can make love. God is love. He doesn’t make love, He is. When we allow love to flow through us we also become love – no more identity, no more differentiation of form, of colour, of race. As we say in Sahaj Marg, there is no distinction of colour, race, caste, sex, anything. We start in the very beginning with this concept that we are all one, and by developing the ability to open our hearts until it becomes like a flood, we can progressively grow in some way to be like the Divinity from where everything flows.

This is our journey – from a rock-like heart which you cannot even break open with dynamite, to a tender human heart which allows everything to flow through it, without distinction of not merely race, caste, and sex, but even of the form of life. Your love goes to your cows, your love goes to your garden and they flourish because of love – not because of the water you give or the people who take scissors and prune everything. You understand?

So this is our destination and today, which seems to be specially blessed, I pray for you all to reach that destination...
