Like a child who was born two ages or two thousand years ago needed its mother, now also the children who are being born need their mother as much as the children born two ages ago needed her. So in the same way that God needed to send the Saints to this world a few ages or a couple of thousand years back, now also He needs to send the Saints into this world. Because the souls who are born now in this creation need the presence of the Saints in this world as much as the souls who were born in this world in the past.”

When we do the Simran, we love the Simran, then we come to know how delicious and fruitful it is.”
