It is a season of great rejoicing for it conmemorates the birth of Jesus Christ. However, if we are to make the occasion complete, it must be a season of meditation also. We must remember the cause for which Jesus was born and for which he sacrificed his life, and remembering it we must live by it ourselves for if we love him, we must follow his commandments. Let this day be a day of stock-taking. Let us turn within, recognize our weaknesses and try to overcome them. Let us sink down all differences and sit together in all loving devotion for the Master. Let us purge our souls and cleanse our Hearts. for unless we are pure, we cannot see the Kingdom of God, much less enter into it. If you can love your God with a1] your heart, with al] your strength and with all your soul and love your neighbours as yourselves; if you can forget your pre- Judices and differences, your hatreds and petty jealousies; if you can love even your enemies as Jesus did, who died uncomplaining on the cross, then all things shal] be added unto you and you will achieve spiritual peace here and hereafter. The love of the Master for you is boundless. The Path is difficult, but He is always with you to guide you. Live by what He says, turn within and do daily meditation, and as sure as the sun rises every day, you shall become the seers and the hearers of the Word. My hearty love is always with you and I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Bright and Happy New Year full of new aspirations and new resolves, on the Way back to God and His Kingdom.

You should not strain your eyes, nerves Or any other part of body during meditations and instead relax fully with inner attention fixed at the seat of the soul. b This is so simple and easy, yet it requires a g00d deal of Patience and honest effort, wien you shall get established in your meditations.

A great deal has happened in the Sangat since that fateful day but this communication is not intended to discuss what is past. We are concerned with the eternal Now, and have no intention of preaching, lecturing, instructing or advising. We wish only to Share some thougats in sweet remembrance of our Great Master. Whatever truth may be herein is due solely to His Grace. As embodied souls we live in a world pulsating with negative vibrations and destructive energies, It is often difficult for us not to be involved in the negativity that impinges upon us from all directions. Nevertheless, our Master Kirpal gave us the living power to transcend these negative energies, to be in the world, performing our daily duties, but not of the world. Our Master Kirpal gave us the means to tap the very center of our soul-being, to experience that divine music which is the essence of God and of ourselves, Master Kirpal instructed us to GO JOLLY! He told us that we should feel grateful, good and positive about things---NOT because our world is good and positive, but because our true Home---our inner CONSCIOUSNESS---is good and positive. We must focus our attention upon what is true and good and loving. We are embodied SOULS, and our most important relationship with our Master Kirpal is on the soul level, Our soul is not subject to the everchanging winds of negativity that buffet this world. All our negative emotions arise from a false sense of identity. We have submerged ourselves in a negative egotism instead of immersing ourselves in the living, redeeming powor of Naam. Every painful feeling that we experience, every twinge of despair,envy, Sadness, guilt, antagonism and insecurity is the sour fruit of our futile egotism, By initiation we received the greatest blessing possible from our Master Kirpal. He taught us how to transcend the negative personality and to rise in communion with the true Master within, We received initiation from One Who was a living Embodiment of the Supreme Lord whilst He was on this earth. He is still a living Embodiment of Anami Purusha on the inner planes. Our link with Waster Kirpal is eternal, not limited by the bonds of tine and space. Meny initiates (ourselves included) can attest to the fact that they have become even more conscious of Master Kirpal's liwing Presence since Hie departure in August, 1974. Page One /over pageSWEET REMEMBRANCE OF MASTER KIRPAL Page Two Master Kirpal awakened in us faculties that had long since become Geadened through constant contact with the downward flow of mind and matter, Master Kirpal never claimed that ie pub His devotees in contact with something that was not there before. Bat He ripped away the voil of the nogative power within us and revealed to us that we are never really separated trom our true Seif, our soul. Our apparent separation has been one of consciousness. Like the prisoners in Plato's cave, we had never veLtured into the world of sunlight outside the cave, and so this world did not exist as far as we wore concerned, But Master Kirpal revealed that this world of spiritual, simlight does exist! It makes no difference what heme we give to the ultimate reality, REALITY is there! We may use the words Anemi Purusha, God, Supreme Lord, Truth, and a million other words--~but THAT exists! REALITY is! When we contact the holy power of Naam, the true Christ-Power, we lift the veils of illusion that hang between the human mind and the ultimate spiritual reality, We recognize that the veils of the petty ego-self block the inner light. Our Great Master Kirpal has given us the complete technique for penetrating the dark veil into the innermost secret of human happiness, the eternal Naam, Why should we seek elsewhere? For what? If we initiates are not receptive to our Master Kirpal's impressions, who is at fault? Do we cling to the false notion that something is wrong “on the inner planes," that our beloved Master is not sending out signals to us? Are we like the man with a broken television set who foolishly complains that the T,¥, station will not send him any pictures? The Master who initiated us is the omnipresent and eternal Living Master for us. We are merely repeating the ageless teachings; we are NOT "Setting up a new religion," Sant Kirpal's mission on this plane of materiality is completed, but His mission with each individual disciple is far from completed. No true disciple should let anyone usurp the place of his or her Master in the inner heart of love, The inner Master may---or He may not-—direct one to assist in some true spiritual work; but such inner directio. should be tested and tested over and over again, To let an outer emotional of intellectual involvement take whe place of the true inspiration of one's own Master is also to court the most dire karmic consequences We have no part in making cod's decisions. |The relationship between each individual devotee and his or her own Master is that of soul to soul. If we were privileged in serving Master's cause in some wey, this was Master's way of giving us aNopportunity for further growth, It was our good fortune. We are not responsible for any soul coming to the Holy feet of a Godman. We can comfort, serve and advise others. That is all; and it is enough. Page Two next pageSWEET REMEMBRANCE OF MASTER KIRPAL Page Three Each one of us signals to a more powerful Teacher and Helpég when we inwardly acknowledge our own helplessness, "When the disciple is ready, the Guru will appear." A dear Satsangi sister wrote us the following words: "It is not up to me to concern myself whether or not Master has this or that or no successor. I figure that if God heard my weak cry He will certainly hear the cries of those who are seeking the Truth that sets us free." If we diligently strive to keep our Masterscommandments, we will contact the Living Master within, and we will receive accurate guidance. However, we ourselves are subject to errors and emotional weaknesses; we should always test our own desires, reactions and judgments.’ Our greatest responsibility is to follow the command- ments of our Master Kirpal diligently and untiringly. We may make excuses in that we have difficulty in following His instructions Dut we must proceed along the Paty that He alone charted for us. The Master Power is eternal, and is never in error. Truth will eventually prevail, and falsehood will surrender. Apart from our individual work of self-change, what can we do? Master constantly counselled us to be His ambassadors in our everyday lives. An ambassador is an authorized representative or messenger, Master did not use words lightly, and so this injunction is very important. While an ambassador is NOT that which he or she represents, a good ambassador will be able to reflect some aspect (no matter how small) of that Power which he or she represents. To the degree that we obey Master Kirpal's commandments and let His light shine through us---to that degree our Beloved Master is still manifesting on this suffering and strife-torn planet. We should abandon any useless effort that takes us’ away from remembrance of our Master, We should put aside our ego-directed drives, such as contriving, desiring, hoping, arguing, claiming, speculating, influencing, debating, attaining and dominating. We contact the Master Power with increasing efficiency as we loosen our attachments to our ego-directed drives, When we put aside these negative attributes, we take a giant step towards eventual liberation. Since August, 1974, there have been several claimants for the spiritual "succéssorship" to the Great Master Kirpal. Whether or not one of the claimants is right and all the others are wrong is baside the point. The point is that the claiming and speculating, debating and arguing, announcing and denouncing, have taken many devotees from the most important and necdfvl swoct remembrance of thé Great Master Kirpal. Page Three Jover pageSWEET REMEMBRANCE OF MASTER KIRPAL Page Four We are completely dependent upon our receptivity to the Master Power. “Outer journeys, hither and yon, will not lead us to any ultimate truth, This inner dependence is highlighted by the self-introspection diery. If the results of our daily thoughts, words and deeds are harmful to ourselves or others, we need more consciousness, more recepti¥ity to the Master within. We have wasted so much time in outer propagandizing and debating that we have too often lost sight of the simple commandments that our Master Kirpal gave us, The Mystical Path of Love has the simplest morality possible: "Whatever helps us to awaken our inner recept- ivity to the Master Power is right; whatever keeps us hypnotized in the bondage of negativity and separation is wrong,” We have also been questioned concerning the various organizations that were set up to promote Master's mission, We can only answer such questions within our own limited understanding, as individual devotees on the Path of our Great Master Kirpal. Most of us realize that any organization has a mere temporal value, and the organizat- ions set up to serve the planetary mission of Param Sant Kirpal are obviously temporal. History is full of moribund organizations which have perpetuated themselves after the original Teacher or Inspirer has departed from this planetary sphere. To what degree Ruheni Satsang has a necessary function as a viable spiritual- educational organisation, we do not know; and we have no wish to debate the ouestion in this context. Nevertheless, we feel strongly that-~-apart from our primary devotion to Simran, Dhyan and Bhajan-—-we should always be mindful of the loving association of those who love our Master, Sant Kirpal. Let us be aware of our individual relationship with our Master; and let us continue our loving association with each other in our Satsangs, which are devoted to sweet remembrance of the Great Master Kirval Singh Ji, Whose inspiration and Grace will guide us all, if we merely "let go and let God.” Sant Kirpal Singh Ji was and Is @ Living Miracle of the Holy Path. Whilst in the human body He had gone through every temptation, pain, hardship and confusion that desets all seekers after Truth. But He had heroically sought the highest Truth and He found the Crown of Life. ‘The authentic Master personally experiences all-Truth, all-Love, all-Wisdom, The hypno- tized person, swayed by the negative power, merely believes what he or she has been told. The Truth is within! Only there! Let us share our love in constant remembrance of Kirpal, Who is nearer then hends or feet.
