"Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant."
- Robert Stevenson

Note: This beautiful quotation above, took me towards another beautiful point, which is that, we too should not be judgemental about our daily life, for there is hardly much we can do as per our pralabdh karam; but yes, we  should be attentive and ask ourselves about many seeds of Waheguru´s Naam, have we planted today in the soil of our minds.

For it is the seeds of His name alone, which we shall carry along with us, at our departure time from this earthly plane.

"Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else;  but you are the one, who gets burned."
- The Buddha

"To follow, without halt, one aim: There is the secret of success."
- Anna Pavlova

These beautiful words, made me realize, that we too, if we want His darshan, we should have Him as our only goal, and keep persisiting with our bhakti, like just as the Bani says: Saas saas simroh Gobind.

The only justice we can do with our Daata, our life giver, is to remember Him with each and every inhaling and exhaling breath.
