    *Note: in a similar way, by being in the web  mayavee creation is not the motive to be stuck in the cycle of 84, it is by not meditating on Him as per Bani, to get out of this false web/creation and merge in Him forever.

    Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable,
    or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same.

  5. "Give light, and the darkness will disappear of itself."

    *Note: give yourself the Light of Gurbani within with His bhakti and the darkness of ignorance which makes us incurr into karma, shall dissapear.

    "Edison failed 10,000 times before he made the electric light. Do not be discouraged if you fail a few times."
    - Napoleon Hill

    *Note: We should never feel discouraged if by any of our efforts as per bhakti we think we are not making any progress by having even a glimpse of His darshan, it is not that His Light has diminished in any way, it is only that,  the veil of our karmas is yet very thick, but surely, by persisting without fail in our regualr Bhakti, we shall surely pierce it by His grace.

    Note: in our case as jeevas, we should also do His bhakti as much as possible, before death takes place.

  7. Brother, apart from from seeing a doctor, take the medicine of which Gurbani tells us about: Sarb rog ka aukhad Nam. Try doing Nam japna of Waheguru or Satnam with a start of 10 miuntes, you may gradually increase, you need no particular place nor time, you may do it while waiting, walking or going somewhere it will have a purfying effect in you, but do not think it will be instantly. We are all absolutely sinners, so it may take time to get cleansed, but definetely we have to start taking our daily dose, increase it gradually, it has no side effects, and the more you take or do it, the healthier you will become, physically, mentally, spiritually. All our miseries and pains are due to our polluted minds, once the filth starts getting removed with Nam japna, we will become better and better ... Stay blessed. SSA.
  8. Life on other planets For sure there is life, not only maybe on other planets, but even in the subtler planes of consciousness. The thing is, we see life force from our human point of view. In that sense, it is a very limited point of view. For we limit the life force to to the gross and material. Life force is something more than the perishable body. Life force, is the jeev atma, the one ray of Waheguru in that particular body. Then too, as we know, we have not only 1 body, but 3 bodies or coverings, on our souls. The first is the physical, then the astral or subtle body, and the last covering is, the causal one, still subtler. All these 3 coverings are under the creation of Brahm. After that, is the region of Paarbrahm or Mahasunn, by crossing it with the help of Shabad Guru, we the surat dhun chela, reach the final stage of Sach Khand, or the highest level consciousness of Satnam. So you see, with our physical death, our existence does not cease to exist, it is only that, according to our own karam, we move into different planes of consciousness. For example, the devis, devtays, Swarg of gods , Baikunth of Vishnu, from where he descended in 10 avatars, such as Krishna, Ram, Narashima, Budha, etc ... Then we have Brahmlok, the plane of Brahma; then we have Shivpuri, the residence or stage of Shiva and consort Shakti.... All these higher entities are working accordingly, to a particular role to play, assignated by Waheguru on them. They too yearn to be born as human beings, in order to come in contact with a Sant , a Gurmukh, a Bhagat Jan, a lover of Waheguru, in whose company or association, they too may get ferried across. Then we have Guru Sahiban, Brahmgyani or Gurmukh Jan, who come directly from Sach Khand, the abode of eternal Truth, and who are none other than the manifestation of Waheguru Akal Purukh. That is why the Bani says: apaay Satgur, apaay Har, apaay mel milawe. You see, the Bani at many places clearly tells us who these Guru Sahiban are, as manifestations of Waheguru Akal Purukh. On the other side, does any of the scriptures such as Bhagwad Geeta, Ramayan, Vedas, etc, ever mention of Nam, Shabad? The answer is no. The teachings in Gurbani, if paid attention, are not of anything external or outside as seen in the lives and practices induced by the avatars/prophets,/incarnations, represented by variety of forms, genders, supernatural powers, weapons, etc... but those which are based on Ik only, and that only is Shabad, Nam, or Satnam. This is the main difference. While by worshipping the incarnations or avtars, we remain in the deluded and perishable creation, at most we go their stages, stay there there for definite period of time according to the phal of our shub karmas, then again we fall into the lower forms ...we never merge and become one with them, for they are not the ultimate reality. Had it be so, Ravan a highest devotee of one of the trinty gods , even after so much tap, did not become saintly, but remained very much sinful as before or even more. That is why we see, variety in their abodes, such shakti as consorts, they too have wives, daughters, sons, laying on serpents, sitting on lions, bulls, rats, eagles, etc , etc and etc .... All these things are not taught in Gurbani, where there is the only praise of One waheguru Akal Purukh and His Sachaa Nao. With the benefit of, that, even the worst sinner by doing His Bhakti, gets cleansed throughly, reaches Sach Khand, the region of immortality, and then the most beautful and fascinating thing happens, we are freed for ever from all forms of life, and merge into our origin Waheguru and becoming one with Him, forever. What else does one need? why do we get so much impressed by these incarnations or avtars? They are mentioned in the Bani, to just make us see the multiplicity and inmensity of His creation, that is all, nothing more. Had any avtars/incarnations been the supreme truth, Guru Sahiban had surely started the Bani by referring to them as the supreme truth,as thy had come much before them. But the ultimate and highest reality, is always the One, with which the Bani starts reffering to it, and that is : IK OANKAR SATNAM. So much grace, so much mercy, so much love have we received through Gurbani from the the only One and Highest, namely Wahegru Akal Purukh. Let us make the most and best from our human birth, to do His bhakti accordingly, cross and arise above all and everything, and reach our Nijh Ghar of Sach Khand, in the lap of our beloved Waheguru Akal Purukh. Stay blessed. SSA.

  10. That True Lord is always with you . . . He Himself shall forgive you, and merge you into Himself; forever cherish and contemplate God. Ang 755 One whose heart is filled with His Infinite Light meets with Him, and shall never again be separated from Him. Ang 56 Compassion for all the creatures is the essence of acts of pilgrimage of sixty eight holy places and charity. Ang 136 Note: This quote reflects the authenticity of sikhee, which is a simple and an universal path for all mankind.
  11. Asceticism doesn't lie in mere words; He is an ascetic who treats everyone alike. Asceticism doesn't lie in visiting burial places; it lies not in wandering about nor in bathing at places of pilgrimage. Asceticism is to remain pure amidst impurities.

    Sree Guru Nanak.

    *Note: and purity comes only by meditating on Nam

  14. Following is one of the best articles I have ever come through, which I would like to share with the Sangat here, hope you enjoy: A wise man was sitting in his study room and reading literature. He was mesmerized by the beauty of writing, and was literally feeling the book. Suddenly, a young guy, in his late twenties arrived along with his father. He had recently lost his mother and was in deep agony and couldn't get over the loss. His father brought him to the wise man. Even after noticing them and exchanging greetings, the wise man kept reading for a while. After he completed the chapter, he looked at the father and son, and asked 'So, how is life?’ The father told him everything, while his son started weeping profusely. The wise man, handed over a tissue to the young guy and said: 'Son, did you notice what was I doing, when you arrived?’ In broken voice the guy replied: 'Sir, you were reading a book.' ‘Okay, nice. You know, why did I keep reading even though you guys were waiting?’ 'I don't know' the young guy replied. ‘Because it was a beautiful chapter and I wanted to read it in one go.’ Takes a pause and speaks again- ‘Son, I want an advice from you, shall I read this chapter again and again, or move ahead, and continue reading the book further' The young guy thought for a few seconds and said- ‘Sir, you have already read the chapter with immense interest and dedication, it has been stored in your mind now, you can remember it any time, thus you must continue reading the other chapters' The wise man smiled and said: ‘Thank you son, I will definitely follow your advice. Would you also like to follow the advice you just gave.’ ‘I didn't get you Sir?’ The young guy replied in confusion. ‘Your life is nothing but a book. Chapter after chapter, life will keep unfolding itself, neither the most beautiful chapters will stay forever, nor the tough ones. You read a beautiful and long chapter in your mother. It was full of love, care, and selflessness, and now it has come to an end, you must end it graciously and keep it's memories alive, and move ahead with the book. If you get stuck here, you will ruin the spirit of the book of your life.’ The guy kept looking at the wise man with tears in his eyes for a while. Wise man continued speaking: ‘I assure you that till you keep your mother alive in your memories, she would never die.’ The young guy nodded his head, as the wise man’s words created a huge impact on him. Soon he got over with the immense grief of losing his mother, and remembered her wonderful memories. The bookish advice which can do wonders to your thoughts us- ‘Every good thing in life shall come to an end one day or the other, we must cherish memories and move ahead in life, instead of prolonging the grief and staying in a state of disbelief.’ This advice can work for the smallest of things to the biggest of losses.
