By Sant Rajinder Singh:As we reflect on how we can better our lives in the new year, here is a blueprint to help us lead the kind of life God wishes for us. Our lives should be centred on love – love for God and love for our fellow beings. When we open our hearts to them and take time to be with those we love, think more about others, and try to show them how we feel. When we radiate warmth and love to all around us, when we are more patient, more tolerant, more compassionate to others. When we give, give and give to all around us to bring joy and happiness to their lives and to alleviate their burdens. It all begins as we connect with God’s love through the process of meditation. When we take our attention away from the outer world and focus it within, we are filled with joy and bliss. We are inspired to live a life of service to others and to embrace all we meet as members of the same family of God.Our soul has an existence that is unconstrained by the limitations and boundaries we place on our body, mind and intellect. When we live at the level of our soul, we can transcend the walls of separation and embrace one and all. We develop the godly virtues of truthfulness, non-violence, selfless service, compassion and humility, and we lead the life that God wishes for us.

We develop the godly virtues of truthfulness, non-violence, selfless service, compassion and humility, and we lead the life that God wishes for us.When we experience the Light of God within us through meditation, we also see the same Light in all people and all life forms. We realise that each person is valuable, being made by God, and carrying God within them. This makes us recognise all life as one human family. True spiritual development comes when we realise that we are all one. With that realisation, we no longer feel superior to others. We reach a state in which we recognise that all are important.With this elevated vision, we then develop love and respect for all life. We care about others and do not want to see anyone in pain. We become loving, selfless human beings committed to helping others. If each person awakened to the oneness of all life, there would be peace and happiness on the planet.
