"The road leading to a goal does not separate you from the destination; it is essentially a part of it."

"Some come to the spiritual life because of suffering, some in order to understand life; some come through a desire to achieve life’s purpose, and some come who are men and women of wisdom. Unwavering in devotion, always united with me, the man or woman of wisdom surpasses all the others."
~ Bhagavad Gital

If there is one God, then there is only His way to attain Him, not another. One must follow that way and reject the other. Worship not him who is born only to die, but Him Waheguru Akal Purukh, who is eternal and is contained in the whole universe.

Sing the songs of joy to the Lord, serve the Name of the Lord, and become the servant of His servants.

These things will destroy the human race: politics without principle, progress without compassion, wealth without work, learning without silence, religion without fearlessness, and worship without awareness.

Simran karta chal manah

kaisee jeet aur haar

Sajjan baseh jho seenay meh

khud leh jaaega paar

Malik teree razaah raheh

aur Tuhee Tuhee raheh

bakee na meh rahoo

na meree arzoo raheh

"You don't drown by falling in water. You drown by staying there."
