Dear Ones,
The concept of aligning our small hearts, our small wills, and our small minds with the great Heart, the great Will, and the great Mind of God … to which I do my utmost to adhere in my daily life … is approached in many religions and in many countries.
For example, according to the Qur’an, haya (pronounced ha-yah) is gifted to us naturally. This is modesty, bashfulness, a quality that, according to the Qur’an, opposes that of fahisha (pronounced fash-ah) … which is lewdness or indecency …

In Britain and France there is a similar concept of ‘moral conscience’.
For Christians and for people of Jewish faith, this quality is embodied in the 10 commandments. A Christian might aver that to be guided by haya is to live according to the cardinal virtues, which are prudence or wisdom; justice or fairness; fortitude or courage; and temperance (self-control, discretion, moderation).
This way of life the American Sikhs term living according to dharma or following ‘the path of righteousness’. That is the spiritual course to which Sikhs adhere as they live their lives. That word ‘dharma‘ is the first word in my Sikh spiritual name ‘Dharm Darshan Kaur Khalsa’.
In my writings I often term this quality ‘aligning with God’. You can find out more about this by searching my blog category: Aligning with God – dharma – right action ..
In modern society, secular education that does not teach our children to align their actions with the will of God has flooded our world with Darkness.
This neglect in our children’s education causes them to grow up without a sense of conscience, without being able to make a distinction between right and wrong, without knowledge of good and evil, without a sense of legal and illegal actions.
This oversight has led the world to lawlessness, to felonious acts, and to the breakdown of civilization.
So then, let us contemplate the manner in which we may fashion our lives to God’s will. If we live in harmony with His will, then our lives will be blessed indeed.
In love, light and joy
