World Kindness Day 2024: Kindness is one thing that develops within us as we grow with time. As this era demands the survival of the fittest, this race has turned people cruel, and humanity seems to be disappearing. However, it was not like this 50 years ago; people were good and kind to each other and used to practise brotherhood. One may wonder why such a drastic change occurred in just 50 years? This is because of Satan (Kaal Brahm), it’s the prime time to attain salvation and Satan (Kaal Brahm) will do his best to keep us trapped here. Yes, you read that correctly, unfortunately, we are living in a cage of Satan (Kaal Brahm) and continue to rotate into the lives of animals after our deaths.

Fortunately, Supreme God Kabir has descended Himself now on Earth. He is present in the cover of Jagatguru TatvdarshiSant Rampal Ji Maharaj. He is imparting true spiritual knowledge as given by God Kabir, and it has transformed His devotees to be more kind. Supreme God Kabir has descended Himself to provide us the right way of worship to aid our way to salvation. This process will take us out from the cage of Satan (Kaal Brahm).

The community developed under the guidance of Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj is a shining example of kindness where every action radiates service and compassion, following a connection to Supreme God Kabir. The transformative true worship imparted along with true spiritual knowledge inspires followers to practise sympathy and treat others with respect, creating a positive chain of kindness around them. To witness this divine change, witness the nearest Satlok Ashram
