Beyond Power: The Road to Salvation
In this grand view of our lives, excessive wealth and material gains have momentary values. The truth remains consistent that wealth, name, fame and even power cannot offer us spiritual satisfaction and salvation. History has also been consistent in proving this point that despite enormous wealth you cannot take even a penny after death. This is the harsh reality.
This brings us to the conclusion that for attaining peace and satisfaction, spiritual aspects are necessary. Jagatguru Tatvdarshi Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj explains that a soul’s prime goal is to attain the Supreme God Kabir, and this can be done through His true spiritual knowledge about the Supreme.
His unaltered true path of worship as outlined in our sacred texts, different from the conventional path, helps in focussing on spiritual enlightenment. In the absence of the true path of worship given by Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, the pursuit of wealth and recognition appears to be hollow.
Seek refuge in Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj by carefully examining His spiritual discourses at His YouTube channel ‘Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj’ or you can order a free copy of the sacred book ‘Gyan Ganga’ written by Him, in your preferred language by visiting www.jagatgururampalji.org.
