Positive Approach

Maharaj Charan Singh encourages us to remain strong and positive on the path.

Begging is not for worldly boons. Begging is for the Lord’s grace, and meditation itself is begging. By meditation we are begging at his door for admission. We are asking just to become one with the Father. We are begging for his forgiveness, to forgive what stands between us and the Father…. Instead of just making repeated prayers, “O Lord, give me grace, help me give time to meditation,” why not just sit in meditation? Why not just give time to meditation? Instead of asking for his grace, attend to meditation – that itself is grace. Instead of asking him to open your inner vision, attend to meditation, which will automatically open your inner vision. Asking doesn’t change the situation. There’s a positive step, which is attending to meditation. Otherwise, we are all beggars at his door.

He continues by referring to the lines in a Paltu poem “In the game of love I cannot lose. If I win I get you, and if I lose you get me.”

If I win, naturally I’ll be in your lap. If, in my struggle, I lose, you will pull me to your level. So there are no failures if I am doing my best…. So even if we lose in this battle of love, we win.
