True Worship: The Real Match Of Human Life
As the whole world watches the Olympics in rapt attention, we have forgotten the true purpose of human life. The emphasis on “achieving” something great in life is so severe in our society that we have forgotten God completely. We remember God only as a formality or in times or trouble.
Jagatguru Tatvdarshi Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj reveals that the value of human life cannot be weighed against a few medals and international fame. After suffering in the 84 lakh births, we are granted ‘one’ human birth. The sole purpose of the boon of human birth is to seek the real God, our Creator, God Kabir.
The authentic worship of Supreme God Kabir is possible only under the refuge of a Tatvdarshi Sant (Complete Saint), for only He is the trusted messenger of God Kabir. Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj is the only Complete Saint in this world. Through His authentic worship, Sant Rampal Ji has transformed the lives of countless disciples, who lead a life which is both spiritually successful and materially sufficient.
