The samagam has been arranged on 300 acres of land at Bidkin DMIC. Lakhs of devotees gathered on the first day. Around 15,000 volunteers are serving in the samagam site round the clock. All were serving with oneness and devotion. Lakhs of devotees came flocking to the samagam site. Chants of ‘Bolo Pyar Se Dhan Nirankar’ were being raised by the devotees. No one asked about anyone's caste and creed, the message of humanity was engraved in the hearts of all. If anyone missed the path, the Sevakari would join hands as 'Mahatma' and show them the way. Despite the devotees arriving in lakhs, there was no commotion or mismanagement. There were no barriers of caste, language, religion, culture, creed, colour and race. Everybody was treated equally and escorted to the satsang site.

Abandon all ego

Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj said, treat man like man, no one is superior and no one is inferior, all are equal. First know who Paramatma is, Paramatma is in everyone. Abandon all ego and devote yourself to human service. After knowing God, affection arises and then the feeling of humanity arises. Mutual love is created. Let us make the earth heaven through this love.
