#97 – 2025 Newsletter (Third Quarter)

#97 – 2025 Newsletter (Third Quarter)

The calendar year 2025 carries the vibration of the Subtle Body—the subtle perceptual ability to sense the Infinite and universal reality within the material and physical worlds. In his life, Guru Teg Bahadur, our ninth Guru, embodied these traits. Guru Teg Bahadur spent much of his life in deep meditation, and is well known for his Sloks in the Siri Guru Granth Sahib emphasizing non-attachment as the key to happiness and spiritual fulfillment.

During these times of challenge, stillness and steadiness are essential qualities for Ministers to cultivate within themselves. This year’s newsletter series focuses on different aspects of the concept of Shuniya, or the “zero point”—a state of ultimate stillness and receptivity that is the compass point of Sach (ultimate Truth).

Our February issue explored the experience of Shuniya at the individual and personal level. In our May issue, we shared examples of individual Ministers embracing a state of Shuniya in personal interactions or while delivering one-on-one services to others. Our August issue features Ministers who embody and deliver a state of Shuniya while in service to the community. Read on to hear more from these inspirational Ministers!
