Verily true Harman Jee. I love his songs, which are of a different level, I would say: mystical. SSA.

Thank you, you have helped me solve the origin of the source of my posts above, you know what, sometimes one just gets blank and can not remember howsoever hard I tried.... but thank god there are people attentive.

Well, I think I have answered this same question of @ragnarok in my post just above.

Frankly speaking I have no reference book to provide, for I do not even remember when did I find it on the net and printed it for myself, but that much I do remember it was not a book I think so. It is just I was going through some papers yesterday, and found this "matter", and as I I went through it again, I found it utterly amazing, so thought of scanning these 10 pages and share it with the sangat here. That´s it. Anyhow if ever by chance I come through that website again, for sure I will provide the link.

Welcome Guest Jigiasu Jee, please bear in mind, that the sangat can only inspire you to wanting to love Him, but for that total surrender is required, means nishkam sewa. It is in His hands to bless us with His darshan if only we please Him, but then that pleasing Him in terms of bhakti, should be performed by us, for nobody can satisfy our hunger by them eating and not us. We have to eat by ourselves in order to satisfy our hunger, in a similar way, if we want Him to enter our inner self, we have to devote ourselves completeley unto Him. Gurbani by itself is our best inspirer, we only need to pay attention to what it is telling us when we go through it, and then that what we have understood, put it into practice. The best spiritual experience we can have, is having darshan of His Jot, which means we are on the right tracks of becoming or evolving into pure spiritual beings. It does not matter even if a lifetime is spent in wanting Him to bless us with His darshan, no time is wasted in that aspect, then too it would be a worthy bargain, the thing is to be constant in our bhakti, without letting the mind to demoralize us for wanting experiences in exchange. Even being at His door, is a sign of His utter grace. Stay blessed. SSA.

If the term religion is viewed as per its origin from the latin word re-ligare, which means that which re-unites with our origin, then yes, it is a religion. Because sikhee teaches us and tells us to hold on to only one thing as per Bani, on Nam, if only we have Him as our goal for wanting to merge in Him and become one with Him without distinction, then yes it is a religion in that sense, which is: awar kaaj tere kittaky na kaam, mil Sadh Sangat bhaj kewal Nam, or , Nanak Nam jahaaz hae jinee chareeya se utareeya paar, or Prabh ka simran sabh tay oochaa. And to board on the jahaaz of Nam, is to focusingly single minded meditate on His simran. No other ways, how so hard one may try. SSA.

What is the difference between an intelligent person and a wise person? By : Srinivas Kattimani For an intelligent person, the Queen is the most powerful piece in the game of Chess For he/she knows it can move in any direction (vertical, horizontal, diagonal) and is able to move any number of squares in the above said directions. But a wise one knows , the most powerful ones are these little fellas For he/she knows that even though they move only in one direction, one step at a time, they all have the potential to become a Queen , 8 of them For an intelligent one, his/her game plan revolves around their strongest weapon , take that away and they are defenseless. For a wise one, their strength is distributed among their experience,skill and identifying the next best set of weapons . I have been playing Chess for more than 14 years (as a hobby), I can tell you that the opponent’s queen doesn’t bother me as much as the pawns! *Endgame*

Narcissism. By Keren Margolis BA from Philosophy, New York University Narcissists live in a personal hell. A narcissist’s weakness is that he/she lives a waking nightmare in which he/she sees those around him engaging in the warm rituals of love that he/she only experiences in pale imitation. He/she is more a disorder than person, eventually becoming indistinguishable from it and unable to experience a self. Narcissism is a disorder of love. A narcissist is weak because he/she does not experience love the way you and I do. He/she is weak because he/she is a black hole of love that he/she so desperately seeks, love that is never enough to fill his/her yawning need and which never, ever lands. Where love doesn’t land it cannot propagate; thus, the narcissist requires an endless supply of love that, once received, is never reciprocated. It simply isn’t there to be returned. It vanishes past the event horizon and ceases to exist. To have Narcissistic Personality Disorder is to be brittle and prone to collapse. It is to require a constant external scaffolding of love and admiration in order to feel like one exists. It is to expend endless energy masking the monster within in order not to frighten away those who might try to heal him/her with love, knowing that they will eventually catch on and leave. It is to know that the game is unwinnable, and that the narcissist himself is NPD’s first and most wretched victim. It is to suffer from a crippling disorder that distorts the soul but leaves the body intact. No one experiences a greater pain than the narcissist himself. The narcissist looks and talks and acts like the person you love, who is buried within but alive. You are hurt because you felt a love that was betrayed; he/she is hurt because he never experienced that love to begin with. It is easy to hate a narcissist. It is easy to cast off the person whose gestures of love inevitably devolve into open contempt. This is what the disorder wants, to isolate its host and leave him/her utterly at the mercy of his tormented compulsions, constantly living in his/her bubble of insecurity. The narcissist’s greatest weakness is that his/her disorder renders him/her deeply unlovable, while he is a person who needs love the most.

Wisdom beyond any words to describe the spiritual depth in the words of Guru Jee in the post above on Salok Mahala 9. Not much to be said or added, but If summarized, it could well be done in the following 2 points: 1) Have no attachments to any materialistic creations, be they of any kind such as of family, possesions, wealth, etc .... for all are temporary and perishable in time and space, and clinging to them, is the reason of our pain and misery 2) And as seen in the 2 lines below, establish a true and a strong everlasting relation with Him, by lovingly meditating upon Him, for He alone is the only ONE and ultimate changeless Truth at all times, the source of true bliss. Kuhu Naanuk bhuj har munaa aoudhh jaath hai beeth ||3|| Says Nanak, MEDITATE, vibrate upon the Lord; your life is fleeting away! Kuhu Naanuk har bhuj munaa a(n)th sehaaee hoe ||32|| Says Nanak, vibrate, and MEDITATE on the Lord; He shall be your only Help and Support in the end. SSA.

JUST DROP Once a Crow, holding on to a piece of meat was flying to a place to sit & eat peacefully... However, a flock of Eagles who were flying nearby started chasing it. The crow became scared & anxious. It started flying higher and higher, yet the much stronger eagles were after the poor crow. Just then "Garuda" saw the plight and pain in the eyes of the crow. Coming closer to the crow, he asked: "What's wrong, dear? You seem to be very "disturbed" and in terrible "stress"?".. The crow cried "Look at these eagles!! They are after me - to kill me". Garuda being the bird of wisdom spoke "Oh my friend!! They are not after you to kill you!! In fact, they are after that piece of meat that you are holding tightly in your beak". Just drop it and see what happens. The crow followed the advice of Garuda and dropped the piece of meat, and lo & behold.. All the eagles in a mad rush flew towards the falling meat. Garuda smiled and said : "The Pain is only till you hold on to it" Just Drop" it & release the "Pain".. The crow just bowed and said "Thank You for your wise advice.. I dropped this piece of meat & now, I can fly even higher without tension.." There is a message in this story for all of us : 1. People carry the huge burden called "Ego," which creates a false identity about oneself, like - " I am so & so, I should be loved, I need to be respected, I need to be invited.. etc... .. Just Drop - this silly "Ego" & assumption about yourself & see what happens.. 2. People get irritated instantly by "others actions or words" .. It could be anyone - friend, parents, children, colleagues, spouse etc..... and instantly the sparks of Anger get ignited & one starts fuming .. Just Drop.... this senseless "negative feeling" & see what happens.. 3. People compare themselves with others.. in beauty, wealth, life style, marks, talent and appraisals and get disturbed & insecure... forgetting the fact that We must be grateful with what we have ... .." Just Drop...- these silly comparisons, negative emotions & see what happens.. Some people are attached in a negative way to their jobs, their material possessions, their dear ones..which creates more harm than good.. Just Drop..detach yourself.. drop the burden of attachment & see what happens..

Though this is quite an old thread, yet many may have similar doubts. So in this respect, it could well be said, that everybody knows smoking is injurious to health, yet people do smoke ... Everybody knows alcohol and drug consumption are also injurious to health, yet people do get into drugs and drinking... Evrybody knows one should not exceed the speed limits, yet people get fined for it and cause fatal accidents .... People know, jealousy, hatred, lies, ego, greed, untruthfulness .... are all bad, yet they enjoy getting dirty in that mud of ignorance and malice ... So you see, we are who in spite of knowing the rules and regulations, we do break them, so naturally we have to learn to behave, and unless we learn it, nature goes giving us chances upon chances, until we mature, whether by good ways or by the hard ways . So is the purpose of the cycle of 84, unless we become good human beings in order to evolve spiritually and reach our True Home, we shall keep on stumbling in the mayavee creation.

How to stay healthy by being positive and eliminating the negative. An elderly man went to a hospital for his routine medical check up. When his Blood Pressure was taken, it was 120/80. The doctor on duty who was awestruck picked up the result and looked at it over and over again for about 10 minutes, and said, “Sir, this is unbelievable! You have an incredible BP. Does it mean you don’t go through any stress at all? What’s the secret?” The man smiled and said, “this has been your colleagues’ question overtime. I have always told them that it was a gift from God, which is correct in actual sense. But let me tell you what has been making that gift work. I can’t wait to know the secret, the doctor interjected. “When I was young, my father taught me that if I want to overcome negative S, I must embrace two positive S. The doctor who was eager to know those S interrupted him again. What are the negative and positive S, Sir? “The negative S includes: stress, sickness, sorrow, suffering, etc. My dad said, if I could manage stress, I won’t have much health challenge. I later discovered he was telling me the truth as I embraced his two positive S. The man paused. I hope no problem, Sir? The doctor asked. “No problem, doctor. I remembered my glorious dad of a blessed memory. He was a great man, doctor. “The positive S includes: Smile and Silence. Smile can solve problem and Silence can avoid problems. To achieve this, you must: “Select the right people to travel with you in your journey of life at all times and make your life sweeter. “On deity, choose the Almighty God. Thereafter, if you fail to achieve your dreams, change your ways, not your God. The trees change their leaves and not their roots. “Stop looking Sideways when you are emotionally distracted. You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks. “Sayings of people should not work you up. Even when haters see you walking on water they will say it’s because you can't swim. If you like, dance on the water, they will accuse you of raising dust. “Start to live a quiet life; mind your own business; and work with your own hands. “Social cleanliness rule is, never wrestle with a pig. Though, both of you will get dirty, but the pig enjoys it. “So, knowing all these, I always Smile and keep Silence. That’s the secret!” “WOW! In my entire life I have never met a man like you. I want to see more of you. Now I know that greater lessons are learnt outside the classroom, the doctor concluded. Stay blessed and keep counting your blessings Do have a great journey in life of peace gentility harmony and love.

Thank you Jee, so kind of you. And also the fact is, I am not teaching anyone anything for I am not fit for that, but yes that much I can tell you, I love to share and listen anything which is related to Guru Jee and Waheguru Akal Purukh, for I see all humanity as His jeev atmas, as all carry His Jot, irespective of caste/nationality, color, or creed. Stay blessed. SSA.
