Last Updated on 8 June 2024 IST: National best friend Day is celebrated so as to honor and pay respect to all those close friends who stood by your side in all your difficult times. A Best Friend, which is a family in itself holds the position of a second family when his friend looks for any kind of support. It is very hard to imagine our life without friends or best friends. But giving support can’t be the solution to every sort of problem every time. 

In a world full of uncertainties, we have problems and pleasures around us. Along with that even after our death we are ready to move into the ferocious cycle of birth and death into 84 lakh species of animals. To remove the pain of this cycle of birth and death, a soul should always look for its true companion who is none other than Supreme God Kabir who is capable enough to end all our problems and can take us to our native abode Satlok after our deaths to make us immortal forever.

Who Is the True Companion of Every Soul?

The answer to this question is God. Although the importance of a best friend is highlighted on this day, what everyone did not mention is about the true companion of every soul who guarantees us happiness even after our deaths is Supreme God Kabir. There is no denying that a soul is in the need of God since the time they both get seperated. Hence considering Him as your best friend to trust upon is considered as the decision of the wise. 

In these concentric circles of problems and pleasures we are failing to realise that the biggest curse of our birth into 84 lakh species of animals is yet to fall upon us after our deaths. And there is only one way out so as to make our souls free from the hardships of 84 lakh species of animals which is the refuge of the Almighty God Kabir. And that’s the reason a human birth is considered to be so valuable that it can be used to achieve the goal of salvation while we still remain helpless when we are in the state of animals. Sant Garibdasji from Haryana says about the importance of a human life:

Manush janam paye kar jo nahi rate Hari Naam |

Jaise kuua jal bina fir banwaya kya kaam ||

Who Can Help Us Every Time? 

It is rightly said that a friend in need is a friend indeed. Almighty God Kabir has done His part and made a provision in the form of Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj so as to let us escape from this complex web of problems and pleasures led by Satan(Kaal Brahm). He has already extended His support, now it’s our turn to take this opportunity with both of our hands. 

Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj has explained via His spiritual sermons that His method of true worship can guarantee happiness here and beyond. These lines seem to be hypothetical but it is actually not as there is nothing impossible when it comes to spirituality. It is the time to expose those false priests and sages who were fooling their innocent devotees in the name of the God that Bad Karmas can’t be erased with True Worship. 

Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj has explained via His devotees that Bad Karmas can be erased with True Worship of Lord Kabir. This is one of the most difficult times for the entire globe and Gracious Lord Kabir has chosen this time intentionally so as to take us out from this difficult time arranged by Satan(Kaal Brahm). Now it is our turn to pay Him back by taking Naam Diksha (Initiation) from Him and get our welfare done as soon as possible.
