Talk by Sant Kirpal Singh ji Maharaj
Welcoming the delegates who had come at the Sawan Ashram, Sant Kirpal Singh 11 said,
Words are inadequate to express the feelings of the heart. It is heart alone that goes out to heart. It may be that we do not understand the language but these words are charged with love. I cannot really express the joy of love that I feel at this mement at your coming here, because we are all servants of God.
