Evening Satsang
Life is a celebration in the grace of God.
We know nothing about our body, its inner workings, or its creation. We know nothing about the mind, where it resides or how it influences existence. We know nothing about the soul, its form or how it enters and leaves. Yet life is important, and we love our entire existence. All living beings exist on Earth, which is a mother and a universe sustaining all. Among all creatures, a human possesses all abilities and hidden forces, including a powerful intellect that requires discipline and training. Still, one does not know everything. The soul is prepared like a ceremony from the astral planes. It is told it is the light of God, initiated to bring joy and love to all beings. This is the miracle of creation. The soul is rejoiced and accompanied by many energies in a grand celebration as it becomes visible. Life is a festival from beginning to end, celebrated in God's grace. The human task is to embrace all living beings with love. Where there is ignorance and dualism, people quarrel over religion. Let there be only one religion: humanity. This is God's hope.
"Life is a celebration. The whole life is a celebration."
"Let there be only one religion: humanity."
