Celebrate Labor Day with Meditation
Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj
Labor Day, celebrated in America on the first Monday in September, is a day to honor workers who contribute to society. The day is celebrated as a holiday with various festivities and as a day of rest. Giving most people a day off, it provides a good chance to rejuvenate ourselves.
One of the best ways to relax and refresh ourselves is through meditation. Sitting in silence and focusing on the treasures within provides inner festivities which bring benefits to our body, mind, and soul.
While there are outer parades on Labor Day, meditation provides us some time to enjoy the inner parades of Lights and Music within. These are not just visual and auditory experiences, but this contact with the inner Light and Sound brings peace, happiness, and bliss.
The inner joy they provide is so fulfilling that we carry it with us throughout the rest of our day when we engage in daily activities. Meditation makes us so peaceful and calm that we spread that to others wherever we go.
As we celebrate Labor Day without, we can also enjoy celebrating Labor Day within, by sitting in meditation for some time. Then, this holiday will refresh us inside and out.

Meditation is an Effortless Effort
When we meditate, we should pray to God to show us and give us whatever God thinks is best for us. We should sit lovingly as if we were an empty cup that is open so God can pour divine Nectar into us.
The Oneness of All Life
True spiritual development comes when we realize that we are all one. With that realization, we no longer feel superior to others. We reach a state in which we recognize that all are important.
The Power of Loving-kindness
Part of our spiritual progress is based on developing a kind spirit. To do this, we need to put ourselves in the shoes of others. It means feeling the joys and pains of others. We can ask ourselves if the words we say to others are the words we want others to say to us.
