The Sant Nirankari Mission is neither a new religion nor a sect of an existing religion, but an all-embracing spiritual movement dedicated to human welfare. It endorses and accomplishes the established age-old truth that Realisation of Fatherhood of God through the living Satguru is the goal of human life and its spontaneous by-product is the cherished achievement of Universal Brotherhood which is inherently essential for peace and progress of the mankind. No doubt victories in the field of material science have changed the face of the world, but man has suffered heavy losses on spiritual front. In his approach to religion, he is as superstitious and dogmatic as the primitive man was. The Sant Nirankari Mission provides a firm and positive hope in as much as it aims at creating the understanding of spirituality through a living revelation of God thus paving the way to universal peace, unity and fraternity. The Mission stresses the concept of one God for all and easily unfolds the idea of one religion of man, that suits and binds the whole human race emotionally. The Mission seeks to reveal God, the same for all religions, ignoring the non-essential rituals which are different for different religions. The feeling of Universal Brotherhood so achieved, goes a long way in eliminating the possibilities of confrontation between man and man. The Mission glorifies prophets of the past and their teachings enshrined in holy scriptures with the most needed stress on their adoption in day-to-day life, in the layman's actual experience. It has no rituals to impose, no penance to subject the seekers of Truth to. Here, the message is for the human being in man and not for a member of any particular religion, community or a nation. Certainly, the Mission has no political complexion or ambition. It does not, however, advise its followers to be cut off from the society. They must act and behave like responsible citizens. The Mission aims at the spiritual and moral uplift of mankind without any political objective or a link with any political organisation. It centers round the relationship between man and God. Its message is addressed to the hearts of men. The Mission believes in God, who is One, omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient, eternal, formless, a non-psychic objective reality and perceivable. He is distinct from celestial bodies such as sun, moon, stars; earthly elements such as earth, water, fire; and subtle elements such as air, ethar and jeeva. These nine elements constitute the entire creation and are distinguishable from the tenth, the All-pervading Divine Spirit, which creates, sustains and regulates the whole universe. This aspect of cosmos has been termed as 'Nirankar' (Formless God), though invisible yet all-pervading. In fact what we see is unreal as it decays and dies. But what we do not see is reality because out of that invisible power the visible comes into existence. The changeless in the changing physical world is called God and the changeless in the changing human body is called the Soul. The one who experiences it is known as 'Nirankari'. The sole aim of the Mission is to impart the knowledge of Nirankar ( The Formless God) to the seekers' soul. Hence its name, ' The Sant Nirankari Mission'. |
