2020 06 21 Father’s Day Special Katha

Katha pre-recorded at Seattle 19 June 2020.

Message:
One must appreciate the importance of a father as the giver of this worldly life; but must also acknowledge and embrace that Parmatma is the true Creator; our father before this lifetime, after this lifetime, and forever.
We are on a journey to seek the truth. With guidance we learn that we are all friends and kin of the one true Father, Parmatma, to whom our soul belongs. We are all children of the Creator and seek to unite with Parmatma with the help of a Guru who acts as our guide.
As a seeker we must request our Guru for help in attaining the darshan of Parmatma; we must be willing to sacrifice one’s mind and complete self in order to learn how to unite with Parmatma.
With Guru’s guidance one can learn to forsake the ego and not be proud. One gradually learns to seek refuge in Parmatma and to accept with grace all that the Creator bestows, as everything is at the will of Parmatma. One practices to dedicate the soul, the mind, and the whole being. Only then, and with the blessings of Sadhu Sant, can one be blessed with the vision to behold Parmatma.
Reflection:
Without a father’s love and support we feel vulnerable and unprotected as if the sky were completely missing from our lives. How can we then feel comfort after distancing ourselves from the Creator, Parmatma, our true Father, who is omnipresent, all pervading, and always supportive?
Those who are fortunate to have a Guru in their lives are blessed and constantly work to develop closeness with Parmatma to truly feel protected, safe and at peace always.
