  1. Another thing to point out is that, due to kaam the lady lost her rupee, this shows that due to lust, etc. we loose our spiritual wealth.
  2. Maybe this shows the king how the son is in a very awkward position and cannot really do much about the false allegations against him.
  3. Without thinking through, and not taking in to account the time, etc. his wife had taken to go to the shop and come back, etc. the man (Nainu) foolishly believed her. He did not think through the situation, it would have been logical for her to look for the rupee instead of picking up sand and trying it in her scarf. This shows that the King is also being foolish, not thinking through the situation and blindly believing the Rani. He did not think logically or rationally about the situation before he convicted his son.
  4. Although the cook did the right thing in refusing to add poison to the raja's food, he should have known that the rani is going to poison the raja herself as she was cooking a feast for the king. The cook was disloyal to the Raja and did not immediately let him know what the Rani had asked him to do (poison the Raja's food). This, in my opinion, relates back to the story, the wise minister is telling the king that due to a disloyal and foolish cook the King from the tale was killed. The minister is showing his loyalty and proving himself a well-wisher of the king through this tale.
  5. This charitar also shows how the Raja, overcome with lust and not questioning the woman, believed what she said to be true and harshly killed the milkman. Thus, failing to use his brain and failing to guard his dharam. The milkman neither asked for the woman's background nor any other personal information before taking her as his wife, which shows he too was blinded by lust which brought about his own death. In a wider sense this teaches us that if we are being lead by the five thieves we cause our own destruction. This story is very similar to the Raja's own story, as the Raja believed in what the Rani said without questioning her. He did not think about the character of his son and was ready to execute him for the sake of a woman.
  6. i found a really interesting book written by the 16th century Spanish poet and saint. it has been a good guide, even though he is from a different religion the views are very similar to gurbani. He makes u realize that spiritual people that are guided by god have no religion. http://www.carmelitemonks.org/Vocation/DarkNight-StJohnoftheCross.pdf
  7. Today as I walked on the footpath it felt as if I was everyone and everyone was me it felt as if we were one. It was a really cool experience.
  8. 1. I wanna know the sangat's views on it as well. If there r any sources that talk about it that will be helpful. 2. I don't really think it's a medical condition tbh.
  9. @sarabatam thank you for putting what you understand forward.
  10. i am really interested to know what sikhism says about asexuality. So, what are the sikh views on asexuality?
  11. Recently, whenever I concentrate my awareness fully during meditation my body starts to shake very much. when my concentration breaks the shaking stops. if, however my concentration does not break my body starts moving. e.g. this morning i was concentrating with full focus and my head started to tilt backwards and then to the left side when my concentration broke my head was tilted all the way to the left. my back was also straightening up then it curved a bit inward. at that moment i could hear the naad over loud music; the naad was loudly sounding in both of my ears. does anyone know why this happens? it will be greatly helpful thank you.
  12. once i had a dream that i was in bed and sant jarnail singh ji was standing on the foot of my bed telling me too wake up. once i had a very big doubt in my mind so i was asking god to help clear this doubt so i went to be and in my dream there was a beautiful tree under which guru nanak dev ji sat. i walked up to it and asked him a question he answered it and gave me lots of gian. i woke up and forgot everything he said to me but my doubt was cleared up:) then this other time i had a dream in which guru nanak ji told me to just do simran. then i said something like but my parents told me to study hard and get a good job. he then told me again to just do simran.
  13. I seriously think that Sikhs do not enough love for sikhi nowadays. If this had happed 3 centuries ago the girl would have rather died than embraced Islam and would have fought back. I believe that Sikh parents should raise their kids to have unconditional love for sikhi.
  14. hello guys, hope you are going well on your journeys. I keep getting this weird sensation, a bit like when u go to the doctor and the doctor checks ur blood pressure with that machine, u know how it feels? Yeah, I feel like that during meditation, all over my body. Anyone know what may been happening when this sensation is taking place. I also feel hot sensations in my body. I have also been sweating a fair bit around the upper back and the chest area particularly. Love u all so much because when I feel the need to remove doubts I can just ask the wise and experienced practitioners on this forum. Thank god for all this. ❤ thank u to all the people for helping me greatly with my journey. If it wasn't for u guys I would probably be in all sorts of doubt by now. Thanks once again.
  15. do nihangs still have the real rehitnama, sau sakhi, etc. or not.
  16. in the serial karn was shown innocent and as a victim of hardships. They showed him like a hero that was honoured by duryodhan and was loyal to duryodhan til his last breath. While the written text still mentions loyalty he's not as innocent as he is shown in the serial according to the text. In the text he is very envious towards Arjun and very egotistical. He had a big hand in draupadi's humiliation at hastinapur during the dice game. He always wanted to defeat Arjun using his sheer strength but was unable to. He is the minister of duryodhan and wanted duryodhan to go for war as he himself would jump at any chance to conquer arjun. Karn was duryodhan's childhood friend he helped him poison bheem when they were young. Shakuni on the other hand wasn't as evil as he is shown in the serial. According to the text, after the pandav brothers saved them from the gandharvs shakuni told duryodhan to make peace with the pandavs.
  17. Since the past few days I feel less bothered by hot and cold, pain and pleasure, compliments and insults. I also feel love for everyone intensely whether they criticise me or compliment me. I feel very happy and positive but i m also gripped by intense desire to have darshan of waheguru. Does anyone know my situation or what could be happening, m I on the right track? Can anyone clear these doubts of mine. Thanks for ur time.
  18. so, sarbloh granth sahib was written and compiled in satyug and was buried at a place along with asht-bhuja and then rediscovered at a later date, in kaljug? so did guru gobind Singh ji write in the form of dusht daman?
  19. that is terrible. It's like 1984 all over again. What will become of the world when we have such unrighteous fools among us?
  20. was gguru granth sahib still in the gurdwara at the time?
  21. Recently my dreams have been coming true. I see something in my dream at night and the next day it actually happens. Is this normal? Is this a trap of Maya? Any advice on progress would be highly appreciated, thanx:)
  22. Is there any Katha on Sarbloh Granth? Is any teeka available on it? Has anyone here read sarbloh granth? Can anyone here provide detail about sarbloh granth? thanx for ur time:)
  23. I think simran is remembering god; thinking about him. Simran can be translated to meditation (i.e. thinking deeply about something). I heard in giani Thakur Singh ji's Katha that sants, etc. sit at night for 10-15 mins before jaap and observe their mind. Then they begin jaap. U can try doing that to still ur mind. I think the amount of time it will take u to still ur mind comes down to the amount of love, determination and motivation you have inside u. I would personally advise u to stay away from watching bad things on tv such as: movies, tv serial, etc. News r fine but listen to Katha and kirtan to keep yourself motivated and determined. Just listen to the gurmantar as u recite it, filtering all the bad thoughts by focusing on the shabad. If u get bad thoughts don't follow them just let them pass.
