But if not then that's what you need to work on. Ahankar is going to be hardest thing to overcome.
I know I personally have a lot of things to work on. It is not easy. What about you? Doing good?
-
Spiritual powers will become distractions, if one uses them under the influence of any vice (vikars, ego, jealously, duality, etc). If used, out of mercy, they will not be a distraction.
Bhul chuk maaf
Easier said then done. Ever heard of Lachman Das?
-
Anything can be a distraction.
Not these kind. These are the kinds of things that will truly test a person's spiritual integrity.
-
Lol is that all you wanted to say this whole time?Well I am glad we got that cleared up then haha
You did not get what I am trying to say. That's the reason for the lol and the haha.
What I am trying to say is that for those on the spiritual journey, such things are mere distractions.

Keep reciting Gurbani bro -- you will be amazed at the results. Reading people will be very easy.
Bhul chuk maaf
This is exactly the trap I am talking about. Now you are saying one should recite Gurbani to read people's mind? Or reading people's mind will be easy?
-
People can use their Bhagtee which they have done, for wrong purposes too.
Agreed. And precisely the point.
-
have done plenty of meditation
Contradicts the statement
can use them to show-off
Don't you think so?
-
No one has said or implied that anywhere in this thread.
Cool.
-
You lost us. What are you going on about?
What I am saying is that you can indicate as an interest in this air bending/water bending/etc., but do not imply that such things are encouraged to be followed (per Gurbani).
-
Read the tuks Paapiman posted.
I did. So I don't understand what he is trying to convey and what you are keen on justifying. What is Gurbani's message to the nonsense you are posting. It is one thing to just exhibit individual interest in such hocus-pocus and another thing to pass it as a norm.
-
Guru Sahibs say this again and again in Guru Granth Sahib.What?
-
There are many verses in Gurbani, which indicate that supernatural powers exist with Brahamgyanis.
Nice try, though I did not get what you are trying to convey.
-
Naam man vich vasan nal ridhiyan sidhiyan mil jandiyan han.
This.
This is what I mean you are lost. Your idea of naam is to 'acquire' ridhi-sidhi! Ki mil jandiyan han? Lai ke kee karenga?
-
Bhagat Singh Ji, You are lost.

I remember being told that Guru Tegh Bahadur turned down the opportunity to perform showy miracles when they were about to be beheaded saying they were cheap tricks of conjurers and magicians.
I would also agree on this.
Per Gurbani:
ਰਿਧਿ ਸਿਧਿ ਸਭੁ ਮੋਹੁ ਹੈ ਨਾਮੁ ਨ ਵਸੈ ਮਨਿ ਆਇ ॥:
-
Bro, Satguru jee turned down the opportunity to perform miracles because the tyrants were forcing him to do so. Maharaaj was fearless and did not budge to coercion. If Aurengzeb had asked Maharaaj to show a miracle, with utmost humility and love
If aurangazeb had 'utmost humility and love', he would not have asked for a miracle. Don't fall in this trap.
Believing in miracles is anti-gurmat.
-
I will go over maybe sometime. But I never get overly awed by science or miracles. It is best to keep science within the domains of kirth. Hammer and Nail or rocket science it is all the same.
-
It's a result of losing desire for material things and desiring God alone
'...result..'. Would you not agree that there is something wrong with your comment here?

Indeed "miracles" are part of my religion of Guru Granth Sahib. The sakhi of Bhagat Namdev ji reviving a dead cow, is right in there for everyone to read. "Miracles" are also past of the Sikh sakhi traditioOur Guru's performed miracles. That was to send a message to and correct us. It was never encouraged.
Let me see if I can put things in a better perspective. If that dude who is blowing wind is so great, let him use his skill to benefit less fortunate or just serve where he can. Perhaps all that wind can be used to sweep grounds?, generate electricity, etc... Point is use the special skill to serve others.
-
Is that your religion? You seem to have a lot of faith in "will be able to explain"
No buddy, my religion is strong and does not encourage me to believe or run after such stupidity . But your religion is one that believes in miracles. Take your pick.
It's what happens when you do bhagti and become One with everything. It's natural outcome of merging with God.
"Natural outcome" - So this is what you are after? Some sort of 'control'? Desire ... You have got it all wrong!
Nothing great? Can you do this if this is nothing great? Try with a leafblower or your application "aerodynamic law", no really! go ahead and do it.. Do this and show me similar results to that video and his other videos.
Yes, nothing great. Cause anyone can do this if they so wish and have the time and resources.
Bam!
Agreed. It's all fart and s**t.
-
shit
That's what it is.
Some physicists/scientist will able to explain. There is some aerodynamics law in effect here. Nothing great.

It's not that simple. People who have his photo might use the same argument - Saying that Sikhs are not terrorists. The bombing is always put in the backdrop of Bagri's speech. Something that "intelligence" desperately wanted to hear to connect the dots. It is not very difficult to comprehend this. Sikhs have never supported terrorism and never will. The whole dynamics of 1984 and the later were seemingly manufactured. One systematic outcome can be seen to date and this is to disregard Sikhs as 'saviours' of India (when I say India,I mean the country, not 'Hindus' only) and it's cultural identity or rather as anti-India/anti-'Hindu' and slowly put the trust on 'someone else'. With Sikhs openly being a part of integral India, India would possibly have prospered without much 'external' help.
GOI is involved due to their 'slave' and insecure/greed tendencies.
There was documentary on the bombings, if I remember, where they show the interrogator asking Reyat '... What should be done with the people who carried out these bombings ..' to which he says '... they should be shot dead ...'. In my opinion it was not them or any of the Sikhs who were involved in the bombings ...
Just remember - Talwinder Singh Parmar, a Canadian citizen. having warrants issued against him in India, bombs air india and then goes to India to get shot dead ....? Makes Sense? ... Not.
-
This is just outrageous! Trying to make sense out of this and it is just unexplainable!
We have goons in disguise of fake and rotten singhs. This is a new challenge for the panth. Not that this totally new, but this is on the rise given the recent incidents, This could also be a sign that the fake baba deras are about to crumble and these goons are on the run now.
-
What do you mean bro? Did you mean to insult Hinduism?
Bhul chuk maaf
Bro, "Hinduism" whatever that was is dead. Long gone. Kaput. People like Sher fail to realize that and then want to start distort Gurbani meanings to suit themselves.
Sikhs destroying a place of worship, is this Sikhism?

That is not a "mosque". It looks like some samadh with construction work still in progress. Looks like a few cops are also roaming around so must be a legal matter. Anyway the morons participating in these demolition are BJP proxies.
