Why is Nature Perishable?

The invaluable amount of resources present in nature is depleting day by day on our over exploitation. As nature is the gift of God to us, there is a spiritual logic behind this nature. The place we are living in belongs to Satan(Kaal Brahm) the devil here who kills us. And it was given to him from Almighty God Kabir in return for his worship. Because this is a place of Satan(Kaal Brahm), this is the reason why we keep dying and taking birth here and things are perishable here. 

While in the kingdom of Almighty God Kabir which is called Satlok everything including living creatures, are immortal. There are no species of animals there. We don’t have to work there for survival, everything there is present in unlimited amounts and replenishes itself automatically by the word power of Supreme God Kabir. There is no old age there. People remain young forever once they book birth and reach a certain age. It has a creation like this and is made up of a single element called light (Noor) in place of five elements used here. And that’s why Kabir Saheb descends every now and then to wake our soul up who is entrapped in this cage of Satan to take us to that immortal land Satlok. Kabir Saheb says:

Santo ki vaani hai anmol, isse na samj sake anbol |

Sahib ne bhed diya sab khol, apni satlok rajdhani ka ||

How to Attain Complete Salvation?

In this world of uncertainties, it is very difficult to realise that we live in a place of Satan(Kaal Brahm). And he keeps interest in killing us and giving us birth again as per our fortune because we serve to him as food after our deaths. But for our welfare Kabir Saheb (our sole father) doesn’t leave us alone in this cage either. He has shown us the way to attain salvation through His Enlightened Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj from Haryana, India. Since the year 1994 when He started giving Naam Diksha (Initiation), the period to get our welfare done has started.

He is giving the same method of worship as given by Supreme God Kabir 600 years ago when He descended from His immortal place Satlok for 120 years. And has been empowering His devotees from every kind of life threatening diseases to prove His identity. Further He has also manifested through the Holy Scriptures the exact creation of the universe which was hidden to us earlier. With such facilities available it is the golden opportunity for us to pounce upon For more information about this one can order and read the free Sacred book ‘Gyan Ganga‘ written by Him.
