Dal Singh ji, I swear upon my mom I did not get what he meant. Go ahead call me dumb. And my reply was just a reply without giving much thought the way you said. It's not polite to call someone dirty minded just based on your assumption. I just asked you once why you call people pendu and you got so mad. I don't know if you have anger problem or not but if I offended you I am sorry for that.

Also for those of you who are scared of technology radiation and EMF, putting phone or iPad in an airplane mode helps a lot. I just found out few days ago, now I don't wrap my phone in an aluminum foil .:p

Thank you for creating this topic, To me they are spiritual, if I am on the same page. 
Dharam khand : First stage( realization) when we get into bhagti or start reading Gurbani. we start thinking about Salvation or Nirvana. Example: Reading Gurbani, doing any ritual to show devotion. For me, this stage was or is reading Sukhmani sahib ji. Just reading it to find peace, did not know the meaning, was not following it, merely reading it. some things I heard were oh by reading Gurbani, you won't gain anything but Maskeen ji said many people start here. They read Gurbani or do jaap to get their wishes fulfilled and eventually kundalini start rising up and they start developing love.
Gyan Khand: second stage ( practicing) , when we instead of just reading Gurbani, we start practicing it. We bring it into our Day to day lives. Example: becoming Sukhmani sahib ji, try to do what it says whether it's talking about Doing Naam Simran or meditation, getting rid of rajo, tamo, sato or not doing what to others which we don't want happen to us. Acknowledging our Ego and realizing how its trippin most of the time lol. Gaining humility, humbleness, letting go of selfish nature and other vices.
Saram Khand: Third stage( Effort),  we start working hard to achieve the main objective of life which is to get rid of this life/death cycle. We have love for Vaheguroo and guroo, regardless of whether we are in comfort or not, or whether our wishes are or will be fulfilled. I am listening to Maskeen ji ( brahmand di alolak katha) while typing this and he just said birds are returning home and they are chirping singing and are content, they don't care about whether they have food for tomorrow or not. This kinda resonate with this Khand, there is no worry about tomorrow, surrendering to creator and making an effort to merge with it.
Next two Khands are for advanced people. There are some people over here who know them or have glimpse of them. I am a bad candidate to even talk about them lol
Karam Khand: Our bajjar kapats( divine door) are opened,panj doots are controlled, maya is showing its full power to tackle seeker on this stage, dasam duar is opened, rom rom naam simran and connection to creator is created.
Sach Khand: Stage of Truth. Salvation. 

No he meant it's not gobi pakora, it's bread pakora. How do you get confuse between  both of em. Bread pakora are not even tasty I can't stand them no offense to them.  But gobi pakora is a whole néw game. 

^Drink warm water with lemon in the morning, first thing and bapu ji, you will not only look young but slim too.your skin will get the glow and guessing your age will be hard .lol
I need to gain healthy weight, who do I cut? And with what weapon? How many cuts? Just kidding, I am just being me lol
 
 

@paapiman
You have so many books, where do you get them I like having a hard copy than reading on iPad. 

This is beautiful.. He sings like Bhai manpreet singh ji kanpuri. 

This is pretty music type too but it brings me the love I can't describe . 

Thank you. I will try there.

Both of you Sada Suhagan raho!!

@akalpurkh
Kabeer ji did not waste his life with rosary. In the beginning people are not at the state where they can do simran or rememberance of Vaheguroo without any aid. Rosary is just an aid, just like simran or kirtan to remember Vaheguroo. I do jaap with Rosary or Telly counter because without it, i end up doing nothing. Now you will say 5 banis are brahmanvad too. I do set a goal for 40 days or a month and try to finish it. For you this might be a brahamanvad, but for me it's my time well spent since I am nowhere near to be able to remember Vaheguroo ji 24/7.
Don't create blockage for beginner who are trying their best to reach a state where they won't need anything. I have read numerous times how when people do paath by counting they are doing brahamvad. Maskeen ji said in the beginning people start doing path or simran because they want something( maya) but eventually their  Kundalini rises and they start feeling the Love. You can't expect me to start climbing mountains when I am learning how to climb stairs. 
A baby takes baby steps to learn walking, he uses mothers hands and furniture to walk and eventually start walking on his own. If you can do simran and jaap without any aid, good for you. Don't discourage others.
If someone wants to do 40 sukhmani sahib in 20 days or 10 days, there is nothing wrong in it. Repetition is for our subconscious mind and everything that gets into subconscious part of the mind start becoming reality. If someone wants to carry a Rosary and Telly counter, let's not close our mind and start saying stop this, say Vaheguroo's name in your heart. Tell them great job,make sure ego won't enter in you saying I did this much amount of paath then the very whole purpose is defeated.

Yea love acapella jatha and gursevak jatha. Their new simran at guru har rai gurdwara sahib is beautiful. You should make a video while doing it with guitar. I always like when when there is western twist to the kirtan and simran. Snatam Kaur was the first white girl I ever seen as a Sikh and especially doing kirtan. I was baffled and then learned about 3HO and I was more baffled. Lol found out so many white people( lack of better term) being Sikh, don't really agree with their whole technique about gurbani as mantra but if that helps people no harm.  
And true no one will grade me, human mind is crazy especially mine. It spend most of the time learning techniques rather than doing it. If I throw away all the distraction and just sit and use any method it will work lol
Some wise man said that human always keep collecting techniques  and never use them. Lol

Thank you, will try that. Appreciate it.

Holding the breath for 64 sec is the hardest part, but good technique. I am gonna give it a shot again. Thanks for sharing.

People have immense faith in Gurbani and they have the full right to say what Gurbani says. Next thing you will argue that I have no right to say labor pain is painful just because I have not gone through it yet and I should not trust my mom . If we are going to look at it that way then we all are frauds. Everybody is doing their best to help themselves and others. It's always a good idea to be humble and hear what others are saying rather than judging them "Oh show me if that's true". Knowledge is pretty powerful and free too. We all need teachers, when I am showing anger and if someone who is not able to control his anger comes up and tell me hey don't get mad, getting mad is no good. If I question him Oh really show me first if you can control your anger then trust me I am the biggest Fool alive on this earth .  When I do my path and I go outside and my brother starts annoying me and I get mad. He always go people who do path should not get mad. What he does not understand that I fail every time and still try and his words can make me quit practicing what I am practicing . 
why people are saying "All is God".
Simple answer is because Guru Ji says so. 
I never bring tukks from Gurbani because I am a kindergarten level here but this one seems fun let's try so here we go plus I need to learn too. 
God is everything, God is everything, without God, there is nothing. 
 You can take it as metaphorically or literally. I take it as both ways and would not mind telling others either . Because next tuk will say 
sab kuch apey aap hai dooja avar na koyi.
He himself is everything, there is no other at all.
Now don't start the argument about Calling God "He". I am too old for this useless drama. 
We all experience the separation because boy we are full of Ego. Have you ever heard a heart touching Kirtan and you feel that love for everybody and everyone . For me that's oneness. Very rarely it happen but you can sit and just wanna hug every single person on this planet and tell them how much you love them. But some people will take it wrong way so be careful lol. Try to find where are you? I tried other day while eating. I felt like I was in my head and when I went to sleep I felt I was in my dreams and when I heard a beautiful Kirtan I felt I was in my heart. When we day dream we can be anywhere . Up to this day I don't know where am I ? I am here and then I am there but in the end I am nowhere. I am an illusion because when I shift my gaze in certain perspectives while looking in mirror I can make myself invisible . Kinda hard and useless to explain but stand front of a mirror and keep looking at it until you kinda zone out and poof your face is gone in mirror. It's a fun exercise, I mean better than making faces front of mirror .I know y'all do it too,  I can't be the only one . Lol 
The primal lord, the architect of destiny who created you also put egotism in you .
 
Everything is a wave until it gets observed and become Particle. Who is the observer which makes it a matter. Electrons act differently when they know they are being watched . Those sneaky suckers makes life so mysterious for us. If you magnificent the glasses all the way , you will "hear" ( why in quotes because science says so) that humans are nothing but thoughts and information . It went from brain ( flesh) to neurons  to atoms to data. At quantum level, we have no body but an existence composed of data and information . Time to watch more videos on Holographic Universe. Go check it out , they are fun lol 
Sometime you will hear a child saying Mommy stealing is wrong and that child might steal after 2 hours but mom will go true stealing is bad. So , the point of this long post is (not only for you but for many others too who kept saying Oh your avastha is not there yet, so don't talk like this) take their knowledge and use it for your benefit rather than judging them. You will come across many people who are full of knowledge but keep gaining the knowledge instead of practicing it but still they have really good points to make . Some people keep learning and learning and once their vessel is full then they start practicing and some curious ones start sharing their knowledge. I do that too, when I learn something I wanna go and share and when someone ask me oh Really show me it's true then I am like next time I am telling you nothing lol. Have an open mind, a mind where you hear what they are saying and if does not resonate with you toss is out and if does maybe look deep into it. 
 

So many contradictions going on or am I the confused one? In one side you are saying now women have more power and status so they are showing their true color. Which we will say for the sake of argument that harassing men.
On other side all the CK series are talking about those poor women who were using men with their manipulating games and their so called tears .
Then you are saying an average men can easily take 4 or 5 women so how women in power and status are able to harass men sexually now ? 
How CK is way ahead of its time when it is not even mentioning anything about women in power controlling men. All those stories are basically repeating the same thing which is that women uses mind games and men are stupid to not understand them. which is not true all the time since women are the most emotional ones and they can be easily manipulated too. Men play mind games too to get their means out. Iyou can choose to find negativity in opposite gender or all the positive qualities, take is on you cuz whatever you will focus on that's what you will attract. 

Astrology is not what you see in horoscope section or Internet, way deeper than that. There are astrology schools where people get their degree in astrology. Before I got serious into sikhi I was in so much stuff which does not line up with Gurmat in terms of esoteric knowledge. Don't worry, I was not into black type of stuff just Egyptian stuff lol. Astrology obsession was one of them, I had my "science" books in my book bag and my astrology books along with them. They were hidden because I did not want anyone to laugh at me. 
I spent about 7 or so months on intense astrology learning and I was barely able to scratch the surface and gave up since my mind was ready to explode. I feel bad for people whether western or non western who spend so much time to learn and people like James randi come up with their debunk show and find the weakest link and prove that science doesn't not prove it. Many westerns go to India to learn and they spend years and years to master it. Hinduism is an oldest religion and they very well know their science and universe, if not all. Hitler gained knowledge about weapons reading Hindu scripture if I am not mistaking it. I would not judge people who have the ability to see beyond these 5 senses. Sure there are bunch of fake ones, but genuine ones are being insulted too.
i had a friend she was psychic and my pahbi ji(SIL) was dying to have a baby. Her pain and yearning for a kid was eating me up and that was the first time I consulted a psychic who was also a friend of mine. Never trusted her but still wanted to give it a try. She predicted exact month and year for her to conceive. She gave two weeks window frame and my pahbi ji was pregnant in that window frame. How did she do it I don't know?. We had no faith in her prediction, still it came true . But I am glad!.
Science is not something which is very trustworthy anymore, one scientist prove something and next will disprove it and create another fact or theory. Experience is something which we can trust these days. Lol
sorry said anything wrong, astrology and yoga has been very misunderstood in west.

I really do think you have anger management issues,you dont realize it but you are acting like a high school teenager.  Dont let anger cloud your clarity.
you get angry fast, and then start apologizing. Like you did with Chatanga.
I dont worship any body, i may agree with few thoughts of a person but thats about it. And its my choice , if I want to debate with them or not. I dont think its worth my time to debate with everything a person says that I dont disagree with them.
 
If you think other people are soft, just let it be, move on and do your part .
And I dont know why you are so hung up with Bhagat Singh ? every person has their unique traits and personality , just move on & let it be.
I have no hard feelings for you, if you need to write something, open another thread, and just let it be.
 
 
 
 
 

It's a real feeling that you actually feel the warmth and protection of Waheguru. Almost as if you are sat in his lap like a child and you have the view of just seeing mankind as creation regardless of age, color, creed and religion.
I know it's indescribable, but I remember that it redefined words like Hukam and fearless for me. I actually began to really understand a small fraction of the Gurus steps when they walked in hukam to shaheedis. Have a look at this fantastic painting by our own @BhagatSingh. Look carefully at an enlarged version and just try and absorb it calmly whilst at the same time sinking into it. . You may sense some strong components of joy, love and protection. A  feel of being untouchable, almost as if saying "bring it on".    I have to compliment Bhagat once again for the Lord's kirpa and blessings which has enabled him to paint such precious art.
 
Totally see what you are saying here. It's almost as if it's  just you(the witness) and a single God in and around everything.
I think this is one of the keys when it comes to merging with Waheguru to the max. You start to feel that the line we created separating God and maya begins to disappear. It seems that the duality starts to dissolve and instead of assuming that you had to separate from maya, you begin to learn that there was no maya and it is all HIM.

I think I know what you mean.
 
This love is a very powerful thing. When this mindset lasts for a few days, a lot of extraordinary things begin to happen. ie even as of now, just cherishing each breath is very intoxicating. It's a feeling that cannot be described, its as if the entire body is tasting some sort of "sweetness". When just closing the eyes and sitting in silence - it feels as if energy is just radiating through every part of the body. The vibrations arise but with the breath, another type of tingling sensation arises as well. It's very hard to describe. 
 
It's a very selfless love where there is no desire to receive. But you know this energy will continue to build the more you express this emotion of love. Experiences come and go just like thoughts (and thoughts come and go just like clouds in the sky). No desire to associate with anything. Everything just is as it is. There is a desire to express nothing but love even to the people who I've had bad experiences with. 
 
Within the mind, everything begins to drop. Every idea of identity, religion, relationship and attachment begins to fade. The world is seen through the eyes of a witness or perceiver (if those words are appropriate). The mind literally feels like its dissolving. 

Go for it kid!! 
You are experiencing some of the very many changes that occur in your normal day.  You will hopefully get to realise that "anand" has a very different meaning to what most people assume.  The only reason I can say is, Waheguru is showering you with the many blessings.
Just last night I was talking to my wife about how I want to go back and experience that avastha experience and mind-set again! It lasted for months and starts with shorter periods of few days first few times.
My advice is too stay quiet whilst watching and observing all around you.  You should begin to find many answers of truth coming your way and and also many signals and hints for any decisions you may need to make.  Before you can see the brahm jyot in everyone and everything, Gobind makes you aware that he is working in every single living thing and object around you!

Just for today, I will not worry.
Just for today, I will not be angry.
Just for today, I will do my work honestly.
Just for today, I will give thanks for my many blessings.
Just for today, I will be kind to my neighbour and every living thing.

Commonalities in all spiritual practices tend to be these ideas of love and compassion. Even in the past few weeks, I have noticed that being in a very positive and compassionate frame of thinking pushes the mind into a very deep blissful state of meditation. 
 
Is there any reason behind this phenomenon?
What do you personally do to stay in this frame of mindset?
