Sant Scholar Giani Naranjan Singh Ji Shiromani Kathakar ( pictured above) participated in deliberations of the world’s religions which was held in Frankfurt, West Germany in August 1986.

( Shiromani Kathakar means Chief Exponent of the Sikh Scriptures )

In his plenary address, he explained: “In essence, all religions of the world are the same, that is, to bring God’s blessings to all and not to a chosen few.

We are in God, and God is in us. We are His children, we are brethren. We must denounce violence both in thought and in action, and live in perfect harmony. That is the way to ultimate salvation; the others lead to doom and destruction.”

Along with his speech, the Saint Scholar gave the message of Sri Guru Amar Das Sahib Ji ( the second of ten Gurus of the Sikh faith) which reads:

“O’Lord, the world is in flames; save it with your Grace. Save it, whatever way it can be saved.

The True Guru shows the path of peace in the meditation of the True Name

Nanak says that other than God, there is no other Liberator.”

(Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji page 853)

( Nanak is the founder of the Sikh faith)

Dr Rabbi Albert from Kent, UK remarked in his speech: “In the presence of such a person as Sant Naranjan Singh, I have never felt myself to be a Jew nor he a Sikh. Such is the love flowing from him.”

Sant Ji says the main purpose or goal of human life is to be in oneness with God or God realization, or, to see the actual form of God. We should try to achieve this goal in this life itself.

A Muslim lady asked the Spiritual Master, Sant Scholar Giani Niranjan Singh Ji, “What is the difference between Islam and the Sikh religion?”

The Master replied, “There is no difference.”

The lady was astounded at this reply and asked, “ Master, how can you say this”

The Master replied, “My daughter, I say this, simply because the Truth is One. It is only our form of worship which is different.”

Many years ago, someone asked the Spiritual Master, Saint Scholar Giani Niranjan Singh Ji, “All the chaos in this world, who is responsible for it?”

The Master replied, “2 classes of people who live by the principle of divide and rule. One is politicians and the other preachers.”

The above quotations very clearly explain why this world is in such a mess.
