A Devotee of the Satguru Not Only Becomes Worthy of Liberation but Also Guides Others Towards the Right Path
By 121 News
Chandigarh, July 13, 2026:-The words of the Satguru are priceless and cannot be measured against any worldly possession. A devotee who not only listens to the Satguru’s divine teachings but also imbibes them in life and lives accordingly becomes truly worthy of liberation. Such a person not only makes his own life meaningful but also inspires and guides others towards the right path. These thoughts were expressed by Amrit Pal Singh, Central Parchark of the Sant Nirankari Mission from Surat, while addressing thousands of devotees during a spiritual congregation held at Sant Nirankari Satsang Bhawan, Sector-30, Chandigarh.
He said that after attaining the knowledge of God bestowed by Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj, the ultimate goal of spiritual life is to become one with the Divine. This state is attained through the grace of the Satguru and by consistently practising Satsang (spiritual congregation), Seva (selfless service), Simran (remembrance of God) and following the path of Gurmat. Referring to Gurbani, he said that only those blessed by the Guru are able to recognize the true spiritual path and gradually experience oneness with the Formless Lord.
Amrit Pal Singh further emphasized that self-introspection is essential for spiritual progress. The purpose of attending Satsang is not merely to mark one's presence but to evaluate how far one has progressed on the spiritual journey. He said that the lives of enlightened saints and great spiritual personalities serve as milestones that inspire us to assess our own spiritual growth. Continuous progress is a blessing, but if one stagnates or begins to move backward, it calls for sincere self-reflection.
Illustrating his point with an example, he said that spiritual knowledge, the Satguru and God are equally available to everyone, but one's ability to receive them depends upon individual faith, trust and surrender. This is why, even while attending the same Satsang, some devotees experience divine bliss whereas others continue to struggle with doubts and confusion. When a devotee comes closer to the Satguru, places complete faith in His teachings and implements them in daily life, only then does one truly understand the glory and mystery of the Formless God.
Referring to the teachings of Revered Baba Hardev Singh Ji Maharaj, he explained that just as a person experiences greater coolness by going deeper into water, similarly, the more a devotee allows the Formless God to reside within the heart, the greater the spiritual bliss experienced. Rare are those saints who attain complete surrender and experience complete oneness with the Divine, becoming a source of inspiration for others.
Concluding the Satsang, he urged all devotees to make love, humility, selfless service, remembrance of God and the teachings of the Satguru the foundation of their daily lives. He said that this alone makes human life meaningful and strengthens the values of brotherhood, harmony and spirituality in society.
Earlier, Navneet Pathak, Sanyojak of Chandigarh, welcomed Amrit Pal Singh on behalf of the entire congregation and expressed heartfelt gratitude for his gracious visit from Surat.

By 121 News
Kurali, July 13, 2026:-Brookfield International School, Siswan Road, organized a unique blend of creativity and environmental awareness in its Junior Wing, where students enthusiastically participated in activities promoting both artistic expression and ecological responsibility. While the children showcased their creativity through the "Fun with Scissors" activity, they also actively contributed to a plantation drive, reinforcing the importance of protecting nature.
The young learners created beautiful origami flowers and leaves using paper crafts to design an attractive "Green Corner" and planted saplings across the school campus. They also prepared eye-catching paper collage posters carrying messages on environmental conservation, reflecting their deep connection with nature through art. These engaging activities not only enhanced the students' fine motor skills and creativity but also helped them understand the significance of preserving the environment.
Sharing his thoughts on the occasion, Manav Singla, President of Brookfield International School, said that education should extend beyond textbooks. "When children create artwork with their own hands and plant saplings in the soil, they develop a lifelong bond with nature. Such activities instill confidence, creativity, and a sense of responsibility. The efforts of our young artists and environmental enthusiasts are truly commendable," he said.
Under the guidance of the school management, the initiative reflects the institution's commitment to nurturing responsible and environmentally conscious citizens. The day was filled with smiles, enthusiasm, creativity, and meaningful learning, making it a memorable experience for every child.
