Positive Mysticism

Sant Darshan Singh was an advocate for positive mysticism. He taught that while we are seeking to attain the highest spiritual goals of self-knowledge and God-realization, we should remain in the world and perform our duties in the best possible manner. We should be like the swan that swims in water but flies with dry wings.
As a living example of this principle, in 1942 he undertook a career as a civil servant and rose to a high position in the Indian government. He was also married to Mata Harbhajan Kaur and had two children.
Sant Darshan Singh's son; Sant Rajinder Singh is his spiritual successor.
