Light of Divinity

“General Saab, don’t worry at all if you do not know anything about
religion!” Though, Guruji rarely preaches, nevertheless, he then
eloquently narrated spiritual verses from the Holy Koran, Bible,
Bhagwad Gita and from the Guru Granth Sahib with great chastity
and profound authenticity. The verses flowed from his lips like the
transparently clear and pure holy river Ganges comes out of her
fountainhead, Lord Shiva himself. We were all awestruck and stood
in utter humility and silence. After a brief spell, Guruji asked us
what we had understood from all that he had just shared from his
rich reservoir of spiritual knowledge. When we could only shrug
our shoulders in utter helplessness, he laughed, but slowly and
emphatically elucidated three divine golden Guru Mantras that have
become the epitome of faith and guideposts in our efforts to lead a
blissful spiritual life. The core essence of his preaching was threefold,
and is the tallest testament of spirituality. He said:

1. All religions are one. All gods are the same. All religions
preach only one language of love and compassion and
service to mankind.
2. Help anyone and everyone, irrespective of caste, colour,
creed, faith or religion, anytime and every time. And, if you
cannot help anyone due to any reason whatsoever, then at
least do not cause any harm or damage to anyone.
3. Disengage yourselves from outward pleasures, dreams
and desires of the cosmetically alluring materialistic
world. Take out some time from your hectic schedules to
contemplate and meditate by sitting in samadhi everyday in
quest of spiritual elevation and perfection in life.

To sum up, he finally advocated: “Redirect and reinvest some of
your attention, energy, and time upon cementing your eternal bond with
divinity and spirituality!”

That night I received the biggest lesson of my life, and it further
consolidated my belief that service to mankind is service to God.
