मालिक का नाम जपना बहुत जरुरी-संत गुरमीत राम रहीम सिंह जी इन्सां
सिरसा 9 अगस्त। मालिक का नाम जपना बहुत जरुरी है। यह आत्मा अल्लाह-वाहेगुरु, मालिक के साथ फिर से मिल सकती है अगर उसकी भक्ति-इबादत करें, और इस रुह-आत्मा को भक्ति करने के लिए ही मनुष्य का शरीर मिला है, बाकी शरीरों के अंदर कर्म भोगती है या कर्म कर सकती है, लेकिन सर्वोत्तम कर्म अल्लाह-मालिक की भक्ति-इबादत है। यह मनुष्य जन्म में ही संभव है उक्त वचन डेरा सच्चा सौदा के पूजनीय गुरू संत गुरमीत राम रहीम सिंह जी इन्सां ने डेरा सच्चा सौदा में आयोजीत सत्संग के दौरान फरमाए। उन्होंने कहा कि सभी धर्मों के अंदर यह लिखा हुआ है इंसान को जब राम ने बनाया, तो सभी देवतों-फिरश्तों को उस राम-अल्लाह ने कहा, आओ इस बंदे के बुत्त को सजदा-नमस्कार करो, सभी देवी-देवताओं ने जब यह पूछा कि हे मालिक कि हम सब फिरश्ते हैं, और यह मृत्यूलोक में जाने वाला बुत्त है हम इसें क्यों सजदा करे, तो आगे से जवाब मिला इस शरीर-बुत्त के अंदर जो आत्मा रुह जाएगी अगर वो चाहेगी तो वह मृत्यूलोक में रहती हुई मेरी भक्ति-इबादत करके मेरी दया-मेहर रहमत पा सकती है जबकि यह और किसी भी जून अंदर यह संभव नहीं है। मुक्ति-मोक्ष का रास्ता सिर्फ इंसानीशरीर के अंदर ही संभव है, जब ये बात सुनी, तो एक काल-महाकाल को छोडक़र सभी देव-फिरश्तों ने सजदा-नमस्कार किया, सो इसलिए मनुष्य शरीर में सबसे पहला कार्य आवागमन-जन्म-मरण से मुक्ति पाना है। और इसके लिए सर्वोत्तम कर्म मालिक को याद करो, कलमा अता करो, वाहेगुरु को याद करो, रामनाम का जाप करो, सुमिरन करो, गॉड्स प्रेयर करो, भक्ति-इबादत करो। उन्होंने कहा कि इंसानी जिंदगी का मकसद केवल पैसा इकट्ठा करना नहीं है बल्कि इस धरती पर रहते हुए तमाम खुशियां हासिल करना और भगवान का नाम लेकर आवागमन के चक्कर से आजाद होना है। उन्होंने कहा कि ईश्वर का नाम सभी सुखों की खान है पूर्ण संत फकीर से गुरूमंत्र लेकर अगर इंसान नियमों पर रहते हुए इसका नियमित रूप से अभ्यास करे तो जीवन के तमाम सुख व शांति को प्राप्त करता हुआ मोक्ष के पद को पा जाता है। सत्संग में उपस्थित लाखों की तादाद में श्रद्धालुओं को संबोधित करते हुए संत जी ने फरमाया कि सभी धर्म आपस में प्रेम करने की ही शिक्षा देते हैं। धर्म का मतलब है धारण कर लो, धर्म इंसान को इंसान के साथ व इंसान को भगवान के साथ जोड़ता है। किसी भी धर्म में ईष्र्या नफरत के लिए कोई जगह नहीं है। लोग अपनी गर्ज व अहंकार के कारण धर्मो का दिखावा करके बुरे कार्य करते हैं ऐसे लोग घोर नर्कों के भागी बन जाते हैं। सत्संग के अंत में एक जोड़े की सादगी पूर्ण ढंग से दिलजोड़ माला पहनाकर शादी करवाई गई। हजारों की संख्या में सत्संग के उपरांत लोगों ने पूजनीय गुरू जी से गुरुमंत्र लिया और बाद में सभी साध-संगत को भोजन लंगर खिलाया गया।

Punjab govt. to build up Sr. Secondary schools in rural blocks of seven districts
Chandigarh, August 3
The Punjab Government would setup 21 English medium model senior secondary rural schools in educationally backward blocks of seven districts in the state to impart quality education to the under privileged rural students.The Education Minister Dr. Upinderjit Kaur, here today said that these 21 blocks were from Malwa region where this centrally sponsored project would be initially started. The Punjab government had framed a plan to setup three such schools in Bathinda, two in Muktsar, five in Mansa, one in Patiala, three in Sangrur, six in Ferozepur and one in Tarn Taran. "Our effort is to expand access to quality secondary education as there is a need to have schools with high standards of education for talented rural children, who may not be in a position to access quality schools in urban areas", she added.She further added that promoting affordable, modern and quality education is the need of the hour. "Moreover, education is the first step towards overall progress of a nation and good school education provides a strong base for a student in further achieving a bigger goal of higher education. Without quality school education, there can’t be quality higher studies", she stated.The level of development of a nation is directly proportional to its literacy rate. And since the formative years of the child are spent in the schools, foremost attention will be given to the quality of education. Also as universalisation of elementary education had become a Constitutional mandate, it is absolutely essential to push this vision forward to move towards universalisation of secondary education also, she said.The Minister added that the Centre would provide Rs. 3 crore to develop infrastructure in a model school in addition to Rs. 75 lakh annual fund to cover the recurring expenses. The Central government would bear 75 per cent of the recurring and non-recurring expenditure, and the remaining amount would be borne by the state. However, land for the schools would be provided by the state government.Education Minister explained that the schools with English language as medium of instruction including compulsory Punjabi, would run classes from VI to XII and would be affiliated to the Centre Board of School Education (CBSE). She clarified that a proposal in this regard had already been cleared by the Union Government and hoped that such schools would improve the standard of education in the state.In order to supervise the functioning of these schools, the Minister added that the State Government would set up District level and State level monitoring Committees. These model schools would be provided adequate infrastructure and required facilities, at least of the standard with stipulations on pupil-teacher ratio, ICT usage, congenial educational environment, appropriate curriculum and emphasis on output and outcome, she said.She emphasised that education provided in the Model school would be holistic and integral touching upon physical, emotional and aesthetic development in addition to academics. Necessary infrastructure would be provided in such schools not only for satisfying teaching needs, but for the sports, recreation and co-curricular activities also and these schools would set standards of excellence for other schools in the area.The Minister added that the schools would be setup on Kendriya Vidayalaya template and would also have board and lodging facilities for girl students. The admissions to these schools would be through a common selection test to take in 1,000 students in each unit. Dr. Upinderjit Kaur further said that another objective of these schools would be to provide a secondary school within radius of 5 KMs and a higher secondary school within a distance of 7-8 KMs of every habitation. The access to secondary education would be universalised. Not only universal enrolment, but universal retention and satisfactory quality of learning would be the priority.

CONGRESS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL FINANCIAL ILLS OF STATE-SUKHBIR
SEEKS ALL PARTY MEETING TO RELOOK AT REVENUE SHARING FORMULA BETWEEN CENTRE AND STATES
Chandigarh, July 31
Mr. Sukhbir Singh Badal, President Shiromani Akali Dal and SAD-BJP nominee for Jalalabad Assembly by-election today blamed Congress party for all financial ills of Punjab. Mr. Badal also demanded minimum 50 percent in the taxes collected by the Centre in Punjab and suggested state specific Central schemes.
Addressing various rallies in the villages of Jalalabad constituency, Mr. Badal said that Union Government has bleeded all states by the way of taking away 70 percent of central taxes collected in that state and returning only 1.3 percent, that too as a loan. He said that SAD had been demanding review of revenue sharing formula so that states could get minimum 50 percent in the taxes collected by Centre.
Demanding to call all party meeting to reach a consensus on burning issues like sharing of revenue between states and Union government, fixing the responsibility of additional liability being incurred by the states due to revision of pay of state’s employees, transparent and wholesale price index linked formula to fix MSP of agricultural produce and fixing the responsibility of Union government to take care of extra money being spent on agricultural inputs for the crops being produced by the states for the central pool and also to have a relook at archaic formula of Union government for declaring draughts and floods, Mr. Badal said that Union government can not afford to shut its eyes on these issues disturbing all states.
Accusing Congress MPs from Punjab of ignoring the interest of the state that elected them to raise their voice in Parliament, he said that most of these MPs never bothered to enter Parliament after taking oath and not a single Congress MP bothered to raise the difficulties being faced by the farmers due to 46 percent deficient rain in Punjab, to demand industrial concessions for Punjab at par with neighboring hill states and to raise issues like ignoring Punjab peasantry in debt waiving scheme and lack of any development project for Punjab in Central budget. Congress MPs were oblivious of small and medium scale industry already reeling under worldwide recession and suffering due to unequal competition from the units in these hill states.
