At the core of the RSSB
philosophy is a belief that there
is a spiritual purpose to human
life to experience the divinity
of God who resides in all of us.
It is through this experience
that we will realize the truth of
the concept that there is only
one God and we are all
expressions of his love.
Central to the RSSB philosophy
is a spiritual teacher who
explains the purpose of life and
guides and instructs members in
a method of spirituality based
on a daily meditation practice.
The present teacher is Baba
Gurinder Singh, who lives with
his family at the main centre in
northern India.
By performing the meditation
practice according to the
teacher's instructions,
individuals can realize the
presence of God within
themselves. It is a solitary
practice that is done in the
quiet of one's own home.
Members commit themselves to
a way of life that supports
spiritual growth while carrying
out their responsibilities to
family, friends and society.
To build on the primary spiritual
practice of meditation, members
are vegetarian, abstain from
alcohol and recreational drugs,
and are expected to lead a life
of high m values. A
vegetarian diet encourages
respect and empathy for all life
and acknowledges that there is
a debt to be paid for taking any
life unnecessarily. Abstaining
from intoxicants improves ones
ability to concentrate and calms
the mind during meditation.
Members are encouraged to be
self-supporting and not be a
burden on society. They are
free to make their own choices
in life and maintain any cultural
or religious affiliations they
choose. RSSB does not involve
itself in the personal lives of its
members. *
