  2. ਨਾਮ ਬਿਨਾ ਸਭੁ ਜਗੁ ਹੈ ਮੈਲਾ ਦੂਜੈ ਭਰਮਿ ਪਤਿ ਖੋਈ ॥੨॥

    Naam Binaa Sabh Jag Hai Mailaa Dhoojai Bharam Path Khoee ||2||

    Without the Name, the whole world is polluted; wandering in duality, it loses its honor. ||2||

    Raag Sarang Sree Guru Amar Das.

    Note: This is a simple Truth and a beautiful verse of Guru Jee, which can be a  test to be applied on ourselves,  in keeping a check on ourselves,  for  if we are heading towards Him, or towards the pitch of dark ignorance guided by our  dense manmukhta.

  3. ਅਗਮ ਅਗੋਚਰੁ ਅਨਾਥੁ ਅਜੋਨੀ ਗੁਰਮਤਿ ਏਕੋ ਜਾਨਿਆ 

    Agam Agochar Anaathh Ajonee Guramath Eaeko Jaaniaa ||

    God is Inaccessible and Unfathomable, Unmastered and Unborn; through the Guru's Teachings, I know the One Lord.

    Raag Sarang Guru Nanak Dev.

    *  This is the way,  through the Guru´s teachings, that He makes us know Him.

    Bin Satgur kinnay na paayo.

    Bin Satgur kinnay na paaya

    There are no other means to know Him.

  4. "Through meditation and by giving full attention to one thing at a time, we can learn to direct attention where we choose."

    - Eknath Easwaran

    Note: in a way, this is the secret to realize Him, by meditating upon Him Waheguru  alone, with full directed attention.

    SSA.

  5. "Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly."

    - Epictetus

    *Note: If we pay close attention to these words above, and look it from a sikhee point of view, it can very well mean to us, that our true origin or nature is from Nam/Shabad, so it is our duty to cast off all impurities on our soul with His grace and bhakti, and become whole in Him, as He Himself is.

    People´s opinion about us maybe not truth about us.

    Their opinion is through their sanskars.

    If their sanskar is criticism, they will criticize us, even if we are right.

    If their sanskar is of acceptance, they will accept us even if we are wrong.

    Their opinions reflect their personality.

  8. The best way to get rid of blind faith and doubts , is by own personal experience. And sikhee provides all the tools to do so. No doubt sikhee is all about establishing a bond, a relationship of total love with the highest level of consciousness, the ultimate everlasting and changeless Truth, to which First Patshahee right in the very beginning of the Bani calls it Sat Nam. Jug Chaarae Naam Outham Sabadh Beechaar Throughout the four ages, the Naam is the ultimate/Highest; reflect upon the Word of the Shabad Raag Gauri Guaarayree Sree Guru Amar Das Maharaj. In the above verse, Guru Jee is telling us, that throughout the 4 yugas upon yugas, countless incarnations of trinties, gods, devtays, prophets may come and go, but, it is Nam alone, which is constant and changeless throughout all the 4 yugas, thus beyond the parameters of time and space. The duty of the countless trinties is only to keep going on the nashvant creations, worlds, spheres. They come only to establish righteoousness when the weight of sins becomes too heavy, in our case, of Mother Earth. That´s it. The abode of the central deity of the trinities is Baikunth, very much under the realms of Maya, thus perishable in Parlay or Mahaparlay. Meanwhile, the abode of the ultimate Parbrahm Truth is Sach Khand, which is far beyond the cycles of creations and dissolutions, thus eternal and changeless. It is Satnam what we have to look for alone, in order to escape from the clutches of maya and death, and become immortal, means we are not anymore subject to births and deaths. And to this Truth of Satnam/Nam/Shabad/Amrit Bani/Sachee Bani/Dhur kee Bani...etc ... is the only reality to which we have to devote ourselves, for it is this very Power which will ferry us from the false and perishable creations/realms, to the eternal and changeless abode of that ultimate Truth, namely Sach Khand This ultimate Truth as per Bani can be realized within the living temple of our human body, known also as Har mandir. Now the thing is, that to realize Him within us is totally true, but at the same time it can never be done all by ourselves. Nobody can ever succeed in doing so, unless He showers His kirpa on that particular jeev atma. In that respect, almost all of us may have heard and read in Asa Ki War, the following verses: Bin Satgur kinnay na paayo Bis Satgur kinnay na paaya. Moreover, let us see what Sree Guru Ram Das is telling us in the following verse below: ਜਨ ਊਪਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਪ੍ਰਭਿ ਧਾਰੀ ਮਿਲਿ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪਾਰਿ ਪਰਾ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ Jan Oopar Kirapaa Prabh Dhhaaree Mil Sathigur Paar Paraa ||1|| Rehaao || God has showered His Mercy upon His humble servant; meeting with the True Guru, he is carried across. Mukat, bhugat, jugat tayree sayvaa, jis toon aap karaa-ihi. Liberation, comfort and proper lifestyle comes from devoting You; and that also, to whom you make him do it Naanak ka-o parabh bha-ay kirpaalaa, Satgur pooraa paa-i-aa. God has become compassionate to Nanak; I have found the Perfect True Guru Raag Soohee, Sree Guru Arjun Dev ਜਿਨ ਕਉ ਤੁਮ੍ਹ੍ਹ ਹਰਿ ਮੇਲਹੁ ਸੁਆਮੀ ਤੇ ਨ੍ਹ੍ਹਾਏ ਸੰਤੋਖ ਗੁਰ ਸਰਾ ॥ Jin Ko Thumh Har Maelahu Suaamee Thae Nhaaeae Santhokh Gur Saraa || Those whom You unite with Yourself, O Lord and Master, bathe in the Guru's cleansing pool of contentment. Now, the question arises how does Guru Jee ferry us across? Well, He says, you are too heavy with countless sins, I will surely make you cross to Sach Khand, but for that you have to get cleansed thoroughly from all your dirt accumulated upon your soul since you left Sach Khand eons ago. For that purpose Guru Jee gives us the soap of Nam, and the water of His grace, to wash away all our impurities. Our daily devotion to Nam, which is constantly repeated again and again throughout the Bani, is that our cleansing thoroughly; slowly, but for sure progressive, depending on how sincere we are in this our offering our love and devotion at His Lotus Feet, through Nam bhakti. Prabh Ka Simran, manh kee mael jaaey, Prabh ka Simran garb na baseh. Once we are cleansed from all our impurities and become spotless, and become fit to merge in Him, Guru Jee extends His powerful arm to pull us and we board the vessel of Nam, which carries us directly to Sach Khand, the True home of our True Father, Satnam. Such is beauty and reality of the teachings of Guru Jee,namely Sikhee. Stay blessed. SSA.
  9. SOME VERSES ON THE BEANT WADEEAYEE OF SATGURU JEE AND THE SECRETS OF TRUE SPIRITUALITY ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰਹਿ ਜੇ ਆਪਣੀ ਤਾ ਨਦਰੀ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪਾਇਆ ॥ Nadhar Karehi Jae Aapanee Thaa Nadharee Sathigur Paaeiaa || Only when the Merciful Lord shows His Mercy, then the True Guru is found. ਏਹੁ ਜੀਉ ਬਹੁਤੇ ਜਨਮ ਭਰੰਮਿਆ ਤਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਸਬਦੁ ਸੁਣਾਇਆ ॥ Eaehu Jeeo Bahuthae Janam Bharanmiaa Thaa Sathigur Sabadh Sunaaeiaa || This soul wandered through countless incarnations, until the True Guru instructed it in the Word of the Shabad. ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਜੇਵਡੁ ਦਾਤਾ ਕੋ ਨਹੀ ਸਭਿ ਸੁਣਿਅਹੁ ਲੋਕ ਸਬਾਇਆ ॥ Sathigur Jaevadd Dhaathaa Ko Nehee Sabh Suniahu Lok Sabaaeiaa || There is no giver as great as the True Guru; hear this, all you people. ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਮਿਲਿਐ ਸਚੁ ਪਾਇਆ ਜਿਨ੍ਹ੍ਹੀ ਵਿਚਹੁ ਆਪੁ ਗਵਾਇਆ ॥ Sathigur Miliai Sach Paaeiaa Jinhee Vichahu Aap Gavaaeiaa || Meeting the True Guru, the True Lord is found; He removes self-conceit from within, ਜਿਨਿ ਸਚੋ ਸਚੁ ਬੁਝਾਇਆ ॥੪॥ Jin Sacho Sach Bujhaaeiaa ||4|| And instructs us in the Truth of Truths. *Note: whatsoever praises we may sing of Guru Jee day after day, will always fall short to describe His immensity.

    Buddha

  12. We have all heard, God is Love and Love is God. It is by the link of Love, by which we attach ourselves with Him, and finally merge in Him. Dasvee Patshahee says : Saach keho suun laeho sabhay, jin praem keeo tin hee prabh paaeyo. I speak the truth, listen everyone: Only the one who is lovingly absorbed in True Love shall attain the Lord. Now, the question is how to Love Waheguru. Do we need to say or repeat Him constantly : Waheguru I love You, I love You ..... ? That is not the right attitude. Even at our worldly level, when we love someone, we try not to do anything which may cause hurt or displease our beloved ones, and also the main thing is to spend as much time as possible in the company of the Beloved. So then, how can we express our love to our Beloved Waheguru Akal Purukh? And as we saw above, Tenth Patshahee says, whosoever loveth Him, shall merge in Him. Here, He is revealing us the secret of spirituality, that merging in Him, is only possible by loving Him. And we all know, that only by His Simran, His Dhyan, can we realize Him and merge in Him. It has to be so, as we do His simran, we spend a part of our time in His presence , this is in reality singing His praises, and telling Him in His own langauge, the language of love, Waheguru Sachay Patshah, I love You alone. Waheguru does not want any words from us, He wants our intentions to be expressed through action, and these can can only be possible through the channel of bhakti of His Nam Simran. Gurmukhs, Sant Janas, come for the only purpose of making us aware of our spiritual nature, and at the same time infuse a bit of His love in us, by singing His infinite glory, then they plead us, to make grow that love in us for Him through His Simran, till the day comes, when we find ourselves totally filled with His Divine Love in all our being, then only, our tiny self of Love(soul/jeeva) can merge in that Satnam Samundar of Love. Thus, the beautiful words of Dasam Pitah, become true in terms of realization for us: Jin prem kiyo, tinhee Prabh paayo. Sat Sree Akal.
  13. A TRIBUTE TO MOTHER´S LOVE One day Thomas Edison came home and gave a paper to his mother. He told her, “My teacher gave this paper to me and told me to only give it to my mother.” His mother’s eyes were tearful as she read the letter out loud to her child, “Your son is a genius. This school is too small for him and doesn’t have enough good teachers for training him. Please teach him yourself.” Many years after Edison’s mother had died, Edison had become one of the greatest inventors of the century. One day he was going through the old closet and he found a folded letter which was given to him by his teacher for his mother. He opened it. The message written on the letter was, “Your son is mentally ill. We can not let him attend our school anymore. He is expelled.” Edison became emotional reading it and then he wrote in his diary, “Thomas Alva Edison was a mentally ill child whose mother turned him into the genius of the century.” Moral: A Mother’s love and upbringing can help change the destiny of a child.
  14. It is not only ok, but desirable and recommended also, for to progress further, one has to become unaware of the body and surroundings. It is our mind fully which ultimately has to do the jaap in order to enter the subtler realms. So don't worry, you are on the right tracks. Stay blessed. SSA.

  16. Dr Santosh Kadam shares some tips for improving our immunity on his FB page: 1)Our digestive system plays a primary role in preservation of immunity. a) Easy digestible food is the key. Dal-Rice with non spicy vegetable OR Moong Dal Khichadi are the best examples. Freshly ground spices like Cumin, Black-pepper, Coriander Seeds, Cinnamon, Ginger, Garlic, Cardamom etc. can be used to keep digestive fire at optimum level. Strictly avoid heavy to digest food even if it’s made at home. No binging. All packaged and outside foods are high risk. b)Soups are the best foods to improve digestive fire and bring a bit of sweating in the body which is supposed to be good to combat any type of infection. Make sure of not using tomatoes and chillies in the soup. Instead of that, water from boiled Dal as the Base, which is high in protein still light on stomach, and some vegetables with spices like pepper, etc. should be the best option. c)Herbal Tea with Lemon Grass, Ginger, Black Pepper, Cinnamon, Tulsi, Mint and few Green tea leaves is a great immuno-boosting drink. Lemon can be squeezed on the top optionally. We can make this at once in enough quantity and can be reheated and served 3-4 times a day. So please take care of your digestive fire as a priority in order to preserve immunity. 2)Maintain Disposition of Mind. Mind has an immediate impact on immunity. It can shrink our immune system within seconds, mainly by four types of emotions. चिंता, क्रोध, भय, शोक. Make sure that you don’t land up in these four emotions. Excessive Worrying, Anger, Fear and Grief. Try to keep them away by your own ways. I recommend Meditation and Reading of spiritual philosophy. 3)Avoid aggressive and tiring exercises. Light body movements will help you nurture immunity. Thus Yogasanas are best and must. 4)The respiratory system is the site where COVID-19 lodges. Regular clearing up of Lungs by different breathing techniques acts as the best armour! Pranayama ( Kapaal Bhaati, Bhastrika, etc.) and Sudershan Kriya are essential. Clear up lungs daily the way you brush your teeth. Remove microscopic organisms and rejuvenate your lungs. Social Distancing and maintaining hygiene are needed without saying. They are needed to break the chain of contact with the viruses. Maintenance and elevation of our immune system is the secret of safety. { Imp tip. Don’t forget to chew 2 pods cardamom and cloves, immediately after lunch and dinner to strengthen respiratory tract. Strictly avoid post meal sweets or desserts}
