Sages and saints from all over the country participated in the Sadguru Kabir Memorial Festival

Raipur, TNINS 

Chief Minister Shri Bhupesh Baghel participated in the Sadguru Kabir Memorial Festival held at the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Auditorium of Dr. Ambedkar Memorial Hospital today. Shri Baghel said that he is delighted to see so many saints together in this program. Saint Kabir and his words reside in the hearts of people in Chhattisgarh. He announced the provision of Rs. 5 lakh each to Saint Kabir Ashrams that have not received the grant yet.  

The Chief Minister said that the majority of the sages and saints of the world were born in India. Saints play a major role in our society as they offer solutions to the current problems plaguing it. Different saints have different views and opinions. If someone is physically ill, they visit a doctor or Hakim for treatment. However, when a person is suffering from the mind, then the solution is provided by the saints and gurus. 

He added that when children grow up, the quest for happiness takes them from the 12th standard to college, job, family, and finally the crematorium. Even then, the person does not achieve happiness. In today's time, no one is happy, and everyone's life is a search for happiness. People today want good food, new clothes, and modern luxuries. 

The Chief Minister also stated that we don't have Saint Kabir amongst us today, but those who take his message forward can walk on his path in the company of saints. We should inculcate the thoughts of saints in our lives to live happily. People look for happiness outside, but happiness resides within us.
