yeah, thats what i have observed.i cant seem to have that experience again.my father told me these things are not be shared and if u experience that again u tell me! i got really scared as i might have made a grave mistake.
thank you very much for saving me from this mistake!

Dass is always happy to help and another key point i have noticed in recent years is that always try to stay away from anyones eye when you are doing paath nitnem ardas as dass gets migraines so there days i have to miss nitnem due to it. But coming back to the point is that if someone saw you doing paath they will say oh that person does paath and unlikeable comments which can also put nazar on the paath as the link connection gets wrecked and it can be hard if not impossible to get back into it.
 
Your dad has given you really good advice as these things need to be gupt or otherwise you will get people asking you do ardas for them and thats not a nice route over there trust me.

An eye opener verse from the Bani
 
ਗਣਤੈ ਸੇਵ ਨ ਹੋਵਈ ਕੀਤਾ ਥਾਇ ਨ ਪਾਇ ॥
Ganathai Saev N Hovee Keethaa Thhaae N Paae ||
That devotion which is calculated in numbers is no devotion at all,
and what is done is not approved,
thus time wasted for nothing is achieved
except that the haume is strengthend.

Question 15: Pyare Guru Jee, which is the greatest blessing that Waheguru can bestow on anybody, and how do we  recognize it?
Guru Jee:  dear sikh, just as when a father hugs his child, it represents an expression of pure love which is the most precious , for in his arms the child is most  safe . Though this is  a very high expression of love, yet the 2 remain as individuals.                                                 
                    But when Waheguru blesses with His love to the sikh, He embraces him in such a way, that the child merges in Him and becomes Father Himself, means,  full consciousness, full awareness, complete transformation.
                    And that is nothing but His grace, as seen in the following verse : 
 
                    ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਦੀਨੋ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮਾ ਪੂਰਬਿ ਸੰਜੋਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
                    Kar Kirapaa Dheeno Har Naamaa Poorab Sanjog Milaaee ||1|| Rehaao ||
                    In His Mercy, the Lord has blessed me with His Name. My pre-ordained destiny (of God realization) has been fulfilled.
 
With His mercy, He blesses us with the understanding that Nam is the only eternal Truth, and by attaching ourselves to it through the simran of His holy Name, we get ferried across the Mahabhavsagar and reach His abode, thus fulfill our purpose of coming as human beings.
Truly speaking,  this is a mark of His real grace, for He can never give us any such thing by His own,  except Nam, for it would mean to remain away from Him and  strongly engaged in the cycle of 84.
Every other thing we get,  is by the merits and seeds of our karmas, but only Nam bhakti, is a blessing from Him as a sign of  His Infinite love for us.  Guru Jee, clearly constantly repeats throughout the Bani, as per which bhakti pleases Him, yet  we remain deaf and blind to His divine words, and proudly as deep ignorants do faithfully our manmat, the limited number of breaths which we brought as our credit, is wasted away in manmat practices, thus return as empty handed fools, upon departure of this plane of consciousness, with the aid of that jam doots then beat us, for wasting away the gift of human life in such a foolish manner due to our manmat and worldly runnings after maya...
Nam bhakti as per Bani is a must for all jeevas from all walks of lives, it is not as many believe it to be for the high avastha ones only...  or when I become a better person, only then I can do His Nam bhakti...  No, that is totally wrong.  We start becoming better, since the very moment we enshrine the Truth of His holy Name in our hearts, in our minds....
Stay blessed.

Question 16: Dear Guru Jee, why is it that throughout the Bani, only the praises of Nam bhakti are mentioned, yet , hardly anyone pays attention  and adheres himself/herself to it,  but rather they faithfully do all sort of practices?
Guru Jee: dear sikh, please bear in mind that nobdoy by himself/herself can follow the path of  Nam realization within, for it is not in their hands at all, and because: 
ਸਚਾ ਸਚੁ ਦਾਤਾ ਕਰਮ ਬਿਧਾਤਾ ਜਿਸੁ ਭਾਵੈ ਤਿਸੁ ਨਾਇ ਲਾਏ ॥
Sachaa Sach Dhaathaa Karam Bidhhaathaa Jis Bhaavai This Naae Laaeae ||
The True Lord is the True Giver, the Architect of Destiny; as He pleases, He links some mortals to the Name, all others run according to their manmat.
 
Sat Sree Akal.
 

Gauree, Fifth Mehl:
Those who implant the Word of the Guru's Shabad within their hearts
cut their connections with the five passions.
They keep the ten organs under their control;
their souls are enlightened. ||1||
They alone acquire such stability,
whom God blesses with His Mercy and Grace. ||1||Pause||
Friend and foe are one and the same to them.
Whatever they speak is wisdom.
Whatever they hear is the Naam, the Name of the Lord.
Whatever they see is meditation. ||2||
They awaken in peace and poise; they sleep in peace and poise.
That which is meant to be, automatically happens.
In peace and poise, they remain detached; in peace and poise, they laugh.
In peace and poise, they remain silent; in peace and poise, they chant. ||3||
In peace and poise they eat; in peace and poise they love.
The illusion of duality is easily and totally removed.
They naturally join the Saadh Sangat, the Society of the Holy.
In peace and poise, they meet and merge with the Supreme Lord God. ||4||
They are at peace in their homes, and they are at peace while detached.
In peace, their bodies' duality is eliminated.
Bliss comes naturally to their minds.
They meet the Lord, the Embodiment of Supreme Bliss. ||5||
In peaceful poise, they drink in the Ambrosial Nectar of the Naam, the Name of the Lord.
In peace and poise, they give to the poor.
Their souls naturally delight in the Lord's Sermon.
The Imperishable Lord abides with them. ||6||
In peace and poise, they assume the unchanging position.
In peace and poise, the unstruck vibration of the Shabad resounds.
In peace and poise, the celestial bells resound.
Within their homes, the Supreme Lord God is pervading. ||7||
With intuitive ease, they meet the Lord, according to their karma.
With intuitive ease, they meet with the Guru, in the true Dharma.
Those who know, attain the poise of intuitive peace.
Slave Nanak is a sacrifice to them. ||8||3||

I do not think at all, that the student from Englando who wrote this article above is correct, for he is mistaking vikars for sins.
The vikars are within us, in our minds, but they by themselves are not sins, though we can say, that under their influences, it is most probably to commit sins/ bad karmas.
Which is a very different thing.
We also have positive attributes within us, just as peace, humility, forgiveness, awareness, etc ..... but unless we do some action under their influences, we do not create good karmas/punya.
Ultimately, we have to be good and build a high and a noble character, if we want to walk on the higher path of spirituality.
For being good, we attract blessings from Him, which is very much required,  if we love Him and want to merge in Him, for then He will arrange things for us in that  way, that we may reach His abode for sure.
He is the doer of our "melaap" with Him
Stay blessed.
 

Human life is precious

Aasaa:
Says Shaykh Fareed, O my dear friend, attach yourself to the Lord.
This body shall turn to dust, and its home shall be a neglected graveyard. ||1||
You can meet the Lord today, O Shaykh Fareed, if you restrain your bird-like desires which keep your mind in turmoil. ||1||Pause||
If I had known that I was to die, and not return again,
I would not have ruined myself by clinging to the world of falsehood. ||2||
So speak the Truth, in righteousness, and do not speak falsehood.
The disciple ought to travel the route, pointed out by the Guru. ||3||
Seeing the youths being carried across, the hearts of the beautiful young soul-brides are encouraged.
Those who side with the glitter of gold, are cut down with a saw. ||4||
O Shaykh, no one's life is permanent in this world.
That seat, upon which we now sit - many others sat on it and have since departed. ||5||
As the swallows appear in the month of Katik, forest fires in the month of Chayt, and lightning in Saawan,
and as the bride's arms adorn her husband's neck in winter;||6||
Just so, the transitory human bodies pass away. Reflect upon this in your mind.
It takes six months to form the body, but it breaks in an instant. ||7||
O Fareed, the earth asks the sky, ""Where have the boatmen gone?""
Some have been cremated, and some lie in their graves; their souls are suffering rebukes. ||8||2||


Fareed, when there was time for you to earn good karma, you were in love with the world instead.
Now, death has a strong foothold; when the load is full, it is taken away. ||8||


Fareed, the hours of the day are lost wandering around, and the hours of the night are lost in sleep.
God will call for your account, and ask you why you came into this world. ||38||


Fareed, where are your mother and father, who gave birth to you?
They have left you, but even so, you are not convinced that you shall also have to go. ||73||


Fareed, the mansions are vacant; those who lived in them have gone to live underground.
They remain there, in those unhonored graves.
O Shaykh, dedicate yourself to God; you will have to depart, today or tomorrow. ||97||


The moment of death

Shaloks Of Shaykh Fareed Jee:
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:
The day of the bride's wedding is pre-ordained.
On that day, the Messenger of Death, of whom she had only heard, comes and shows its face.
It breaks the bones of the body and pulls the helpless soul out.
That pre-ordained time of marriage cannot be avoided. Explain this to your soul.
The soul is the bride, and death is the groom. He will marry her and take her away.
After the body sends her away with its own hands, whose neck will it embrace?
The bridge to hell is narrower than a hair; haven't you heard of it with your ears?
Fareed, the call has come; be careful now - don't let yourself be robbed. ||1||


Fareed, your beautiful body shall break apart, and the subtle thread of the breath shall be snapped.
In which house will the Messenger of Death be a guest today? ||68||


Do not slander

Fareed, if you have a keen understanding, then do not write black marks against anyone else.
Look underneath your own collar instead. ||6||


Return hatred with love

Fareed, do not turn around and strike those who strike you with their fists.
Kiss their feet, and return to your own home. ||7||


The whole world burns in the fire of sorrow

Fareed, I thought that I was in trouble; the whole world is in trouble!
When I climbed the hill and looked around, I saw this fire in each and every home. ||81||


Accept God's Will

Fifth Mehl:
Fareed, look upon pleasure and pain as the same; eradicate corruption from your heart.
Whatever pleases the Lord God is good; understand this, and you will reach His Court. ||109||

Profane music

Raag Bilaaval, Fifth Mehl, Chau-Padas And Du-Padas, Sixth House:
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:
O my fascinating Lord, let me not listen to the faithless cynic, singing his songs and tunes, and chanting his useless words. ||1||Pause||
I serve, serve, serve, serve the Holy Saints; forever and ever, I do this.
The Primal Lord, the Great Giver, has blessed me with the gift of fearlessness. Joining the Company of the Holy, I sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord. ||1||
My tongue is imbued with the Praises of the inaccessible and unfathomable Lord, and my eyes are drenched with the Blessed Vision of His Darshan.
Be Merciful to me, O Destroyer of the pains of the meek, that I may enshrine Your Lotus Feet within my heart. ||2||
Beneath all, and above all; this is the vision I saw.
I have destroyed, destroyed, destroyed my pride, since the True Guru implanted His Mantra within me. ||3||
Immeasurable, immeasurable, immeasurable is the Merciful Lord; he cannot be weighed. He is the Lover of His devotees.
Whoever enters the Sanctuary of Guru Nanak, is blessed with the gifts of fearlessness and peace. ||4||||1||81||



Singing and dancing

Gauree Gwaarayree, Third Mehl:
Some sing on and on, but their minds do not find happiness.
In egotism, they sing, but it is wasted uselessly.
Those who love the Naam, sing the song.
They contemplate the True Bani of the Word, and the Shabad. ||1||
They sing on and on, if it pleases the True Guru.
Their minds and bodies are embellished and adorned, attuned to the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||1||Pause||
Some sing, and some perform devotional worship.
Without heart-felt love, the Naam is not obtained.
True devotional worship consists of love for the Word of the Guru's Shabad.
The devotee keeps his Beloved clasped tightly to his heart. ||2||
The fools perform devotional worship by showing off;
they dance and dance and jump all around, but they only suffer in terrible pain.
By dancing and jumping, devotional worship is not performed.
But one who dies in the Word of the Shabad, obtains devotional worship. ||3||
The Lord is the Lover of His devotees; He inspires them to perform devotional worship.
True devotional worship consists of eliminating selfishness and conceit from within.
My True God knows all ways and means.
O Nanak, He forgives those who recognize the Naam. ||4||4||24||



Foul language

Shalok, First Mehl:
O Nanak, speaking insipid words, the body and mind become insipid.
He is called the most insipid of the insipid; the most insipid of the insipid is his reputation.
The insipid person is discarded in the Court of the Lord, and the insipid one's face is spat upon.
The insipid one is called a fool; he is beaten with shoes in punishment. ||1||



Agony of a soul

One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:
Raag Soohee, The Word Of Shaykh Fareed Jee:
Burning and burning, writhing in pain, I wring my hands.
I have gone insane, seeking my Husband Lord.
O my Husband Lord, You are angry with me in Your Mind.
The fault is with me, and not with my Husband Lord. ||1||
O my Lord and Master, I do not know Your excellence and worth.
Having wasted my youth, now I come to regret and repent. ||1||Pause||
O black bird, what qualities have made you black?
"I have been burnt by separation from my Beloved."
Without her Husband Lord, how can the soul-bride ever find peace?
When He becomes merciful, then God unites us with Himself. ||2||
The lonely soul-bride suffers in the pit of the world.
She has no companions, and no friends.
In His Mercy, God has united me with the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy.
And when I look again, then I find God as my Helper. ||3||
The path upon which I must walk is very depressing.
It is sharper than a two-edged sword, and very narrow.
That is where my path lies.
O Shaykh Fareed, think of that path early on. ||4||1||

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa!
Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

For quite sometime I have been bookmarking some shabads after running a search on Sikhitothemax. Its amazing how Gurbani has ALL the answers to ALL your questions, pains and problems. I am going to paste some of those shabads here under the heading of what I think they deal with.

A good Sikh

Blessed is the glimpse and the company of the Guru because there only one visualizes God alone in all the six philosophies.
Getting enlightened, one identifies the teachings of the Guru even in the secular affairs.
Having one women as wife he (the Sikh) is a celebate and considers any other's wife his daughter or a sister.
To covet another man's property is forbidden (to a Sikh) as the swine is to the Muslim and the cow to a Hindu.
The Sikh being householder abnegates tonsure, the sacred thread (Janeu), etc. and forsakes them like abominable faeces.
The Sikh of the Guru accepts transcendental Lord as the sole fount of higher knowledge and the meditation.
In the congregation of such people any body could become authentic as well as respectable.




A moment of pleasure and endless pain

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:
For a moment of sexual pleasure, you shall suffer in pain for millions of days.
For an instant, you may savor pleasure, but afterwards, you shall regret it, again and again. ||1||
O blind man, meditate on the Lord, the Lord, your King.
Your day is drawing near. ||1||Pause||
You are deceived, beholding with your eyes, the bitter melon and swallow-wort.
But, like the companionship of a poisonous snake, so is the desire for another's spouse. ||2||
For the sake of your enemy, you commit sins, while you neglect the reality of your faith.
Your friendship is with those who abandon you, and you are angry with your friends. ||3||
The entire world is entangled in this way; he alone is saved, who has the Perfect Guru.
Says Nanak, I have crossed over the terrifying world-ocean; my body has become sanctified. ||4||5||127||



Follow only the Guru and no one else

Fourth Mehl:
The self-willed manmukh is occupied with greed all day long, although he may claim otherwise.
At night, he is overcome by fatigue, and all his nine holes are weakened.
Over the head of the manmukh is the order of the woman; to her, he ever holds out his promises of goodness.
Those men who act according to the orders of women are impure, filthy and foolish.
Those impure men are engrossed in sexual desire; they consult their women and walk accordingly.
One who walks as the True Guru tells him to, is the true man, the best of the best.
He Himself created all women and men; the Lord Himself plays every play.
You created the entire creation; O Nanak, it is the best of the best. ||2||

( Note : Before anyone raises a cry, this is Gurbani. We all agree that Guruji is talking about evil people and not labelling any gender as bad. )




False worldly love

Raag Dayv-Gandhaaree, Ninth Mehl:
In this world, I have seen love to be false.
Whether they are spouses or friends, all are concerned only with their own happiness. ||1||Pause||
All say, ""Mine, mine"", and attach their consciousness to you with love.
But at the very last moment, none shall go along with you. How strange are the ways of the world! ||1||
The foolish mind has not yet reformed itself, although I have grown weary of continually instructing it.
O Nanak, one crosses over the terrifying world-ocean, singing the Songs of God. ||2||3||6||38||47||





He takes care of all

Raag Goojaree, Fifth Mehl:
Why, O mind, do you plot and plan, when the Dear Lord Himself provides for your care?
From rocks and stones He created living beings; He places their nourishment before them. ||1||
O my Dear Lord of souls, one who joins the Sat Sangat, the True Congregation, is saved.
By Guru's Grace, the supreme status is obtained, and the dry wood blossoms forth again in lush greenery. ||1||Pause||
Mothers, fathers, friends, children and spouses-no one is the support of anyone else.
For each and every person, our Lord and Master provides sustenance. Why are you so afraid, O mind? ||2||
The flamingoes fly hundreds of miles, leaving their young ones behind.
Who feeds them, and who teaches them to feed themselves? Have you ever thought of this in your mind? ||3||
All the nine treasures, and the eighteen supernatural powers are held by our Lord and Master in the Palm of His Hand.
Servant Nanak is devoted, dedicated, forever a sacrifice to You, Lord. Your Expanse has no limit, no boundary. ||4||5||





How to get peace

Bhairao, Fifth Mehl:
There is no peace in earning lots of money.
There is no peace in watching dances and plays.
There is no peace in conquering lots of countries.
All peace comes from singing the Glorious Praises of the Lord, Har, Har. ||1||
You shall obtain peace, poise and bliss,
when you find the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, by great good fortune. As Gurmukh, utter the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||1||Pause||
Mother, father, children and spouse - all place the mortal in bondage.
Religious rituals and actions done in ego place the mortal in bondage.
If the Lord, the Shatterer of bonds, abides in the mind,
then peace is obtained, dwelling in the home of the self deep within. ||2||
Everyone is a beggar; God is the Great Giver.
The Treasure of Virtue is the Infinite, Endless Lord.
That person, unto whom God grants His Mercy
- that humble being chants the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||3||
I offer my prayer to my Guru.
O Primal Lord God, Treasure of Virtue, please bless me with Your Grace.
Says Nanak, I have come to Your Sanctuary.
If it pleases You, please protect me, O Lord of the World. ||4||28||41||






No satisfaction

Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehl:
The desires of the greatest of the great kings and landlords cannot be satisfied.
They remain engrossed in Maya, intoxicated with the pleasures of their wealth; their eyes see nothing else at all. ||1||
No one has ever found satisfaction in sin and corruption.
The flame is not satisfied by more fuel; how can one be satisfied without the Lord? ||Pause||
Day after day, he eats his meals with many different foods, but his hunger is not eradicated.
He runs around like a dog, searching in the four directions. ||2||
The lustful, lecherous man desires many women, and he never stops peeking into the homes of others.
Day after day, he commits adultery again and again, and then he regrets his actions; he wastes away in misery and greed. ||3||
The Name of the Lord, Har, Har, is incomparable and priceless; it is the treasure of Ambrosial Nectar.
The Saints abide in peace, poise and bliss; O Nanak, through the Guru, this is known. ||4||6||




Raag Gauree, Fifth Mehl:
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:
The thirst of only a few is quenched. ||1||Pause||
People may accumulate hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, and yet the mind is not restrained.
They only yearn for more and more. ||1||
They may have all sorts of beautiful women, but still, they commit adultery in the homes of others.
They do not distinguish between good and bad. ||2||
They wander around lost, trapped in the myriad bonds of Maya; they do not sing the Praises of the Treasure of Virtue.
Their minds are engrossed in poison and corruption. ||3||
Those, unto whom the Lord shows His Mercy, remain dead while yet alive. In the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, they cross over the ocean of Maya.
O Nanak, those humble beings are honored in the Court of the Lord. ||4||1||154||





Easier said than done

Siree Raag, Fifth Mehl, Seventh House:
Relying on Your Mercy, Dear Lord, I have indulged in sensual pleasures.
Like a foolish child, I have made mistakes. O Lord, You are my Father and Mother. ||1||
It is easy to speak and talk,
but it is difficult to accept Your Will. ||1||Pause||
I stand tall; You are my Strength. I know that You are mine.
Inside of all, and outside of all, You are our Self-sufficient Father. ||2||
O Father, I do not know-how can I know Your Way?
He frees us from bondage, O Saints, and saves us from possessiveness. ||3||
Becoming Merciful, my Lord and Master has ended my comings and goings in reincarnation.
Meeting with the Guru, Nanak has recognized the Supreme Lord God. ||4||27||97||








Worldly relations

O man, you have not remembered the creator and have accepted the created as your creator.
Getting engrossed in wife or husband you have further created relationships of son, grandson, father and grandfather.
Daughters and sisters proudly become happy or annoyed and such is the case of all relatives.
All other relation's such as the house of father-in-law, one's mother's house, the house of the maternal uncles and other relations of the family are disdainful.
If conduct and thoughts are civilised, one gets honour before the high ups of the society.
However, at the end, when caught up in the web of death, no companion takes notice of the person.
Bereft of the grace of the perfect Guru, all persons become scared of death.




One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:
Raag Saarang, Ninth Mehl:
No one will be your help and support, except the Lord.
Who has any mother, father, child or spouse? Who is anyone's brother or sister? ||1||Pause||
All the wealth, land and property which you consider your own
- when you leave your body, none of it shall go along with you. Why do you cling to them? ||1||
God is Merciful to the meek, forever the Destroyer of fear, and yet you do not develop any loving relationship with Him.
Says Nanak, the whole world is totally false; it is like a dream in the night. ||2||1||






Nothing belongs to you

Todee, Fifth Mehl, Third House, Chau-Padas:
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:
Oh! Oh! You cling to Maya, you fool; this is not a trivial matter.
That which you consider to be yours, is not yours. ||Pause||
You do not remember your Lord, even for an instant.
That which belongs to others, you believe to be your own. ||1||
The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is always with you, but you do not enshrine it within your mind.
You have attached your consciousness to that which you must eventually abandon. ||2||
You collect that which will bring you only hunger and thirst.
You have not obtained the supplies of the Ambrosial Naam. ||3||
You have fallen into the pit of sexual desire, anger and emotional attachment.
By Guru's Grace, O Nanak, a rare few are saved. ||4||1||16||





The only true relationship is with God

Maaroo, First Mehl:
Neither the sisters, nor the sisters-in-law, nor the mothers-in-law, shall remain.
The true relationship with the Lord cannot be broken; it was established by the Lord, O sister soul-brides. ||1||
I am a sacrifice to my Guru; I am forever a sacrifice to Him.
Wandering so far without the Guru, I grew weary; now, the Guru has united me in Union with my Husband Lord. ||1||Pause||
Aunts, uncles, grandparents and sisters-in-law
- they all come and go; they cannot remain. They are like boatloads of passengers embarking. ||2||
Uncles, aunts, and cousins of all sorts, cannot remain.
The caravans are full, and great crowds of them are loading up at the riverbank. ||3||
O sister-friends, my Husband Lord is dyed in the color of Truth.
She who lovingly remembers her True Husband Lord is not separated from Him again. ||4||
All the seasons are good, in which the soul-bride falls in love with the True Lord.
That soul-bride, who knows her Husband Lord, sleeps in peace, night and day. ||5||
At the ferry, the ferryman announces, ""O travellers, hurry up and cross over.""
I have seen them crossing over there, on the boat of the True Guru. ||6||
Some are getting on board, and some have already set out; some are weighed down with their loads.
Those who deal in Truth, remain with their True Lord God. ||7||
I am not called good, and I see none who are bad.
O Nanak, one who conquers and subdues his ego, becomes just like the True Lord. ||8||2||10||




Wake up

Bihaagraa, Fifth Mehl, Chhant:
Why are you imbued with the love of another? That path is very dangerous.
O sinner, no one is your friend.
No one shall be your friend, and you shall forever regret your actions.
You have not chanted with your tongue the Praises of the Sustainer of the World; when will these days come again?
The leaf, separated from the branch, shall not be joined with it again; all alone, it falls on its way to death.
Prays Nanak, without the Lord's Name, the soul wanders, forever suffering. ||1||
You are practicing deception secretly, but the Lord, the Knower, knows all.
When the Righteous Judge of Dharma reads your account, you shall be squeezed like a sesame seed in the oil-press.
For the actions you committed, you shall suffer the penalty; you shall be consigned to countless reincarnations.
Imbued with the love of Maya, the great enticer, you shall lose the jewel of this human life.
Except for the One Name of the Lord, you are clever in everything else.
Prays Nanak, those who have such pre-ordained destiny are attracted to doubt and emotional attachment. ||2||
No one advocates for the ungrateful person, who is separated from the Lord.
The hard-hearted Messenger of Death comes and seizes him.
He seizes him, and leads him away, to pay for his evil deeds; he was imbued with Maya, the great enticer.
He was not Gurmukh - he did not chant the Glorious Praises of the Lord of the Universe; and now, the hot irons are put to his chest.
He is ruined by sexual desire, anger and egotism; deprived of spiritual wisdom, he comes to regret.
Prays Nanak, by his cursed destiny he has gone astray; with his tongue, he does not chant the Name of the Lord. ||3||
Without You, God, no one is our savior.
It is Your Nature, Lord, to save the sinners.
O Savior of sinners, I have entered Your Sanctuary, O Lord and Master, Compassionate Ocean of Mercy.
Please, rescue me from the deep, dark pit, O Creator, Cherisher of all hearts.
I seek Your Sanctuary; please, cut away these heavy bonds, and give me the Support of the One Name.
Prays Nanak, please, give me Your Hand and save me, O Lord of the Universe, Merciful to the meek. ||4||
That day is judged to be fruitful, when I merged with my Lord.
Total happiness was revealed, and pain was taken far away.
Peace, tranquility, joy and eternal happiness come from constantly singing the Glorious Praises of the Sustainer of the World.
Joining the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, I lovingly remember the Lord; I shall not wander again in reincarnation.
He has naturally hugged me close in His Loving Embrace, and the seed of my primal destiny has sprouted.
Prays Nanak, He Himself has met me, and He shall never again leave me. ||5||4||7||




Siree Raag, Fifth Mehl:
People eat what they believe to be sweet, but it turns out to be bitter in taste.
They attach their affections to brothers and friends, uselessly engrossed in corruption.
They vanish without a moment's delay; without God's Name, they are stunned and amazed. ||1||
O my mind, attach yourself to the service of the True Guru.
Whatever is seen, shall pass away. Abandon the intellectualizations of your mind. ||1||Pause||
Like the mad dog running around in all directions,
the greedy person, unaware, consumes everything, edible and non-edible alike.
Engrossed in the intoxication of sexual desire and anger, people wander through reincarnation over and over again. ||2||
Maya has spread out her net, and in it, she has placed the bait.
The bird of desire is caught, and cannot find any escape, O my mother.
One who does not know the Lord who created him, comes and goes in reincarnation over and over again. ||3||
By various devices, and in so many ways, this world is enticed.
They alone are saved, whom the All-powerful, Infinite Lord protects.
The servants of the Lord are saved by the Love of the Lord. O Nanak, I am forever a sacrifice to them. ||4||21||91||

The Five Deadly Sins

In Sikhism there are 5 sins which are deadly. They are considered deadly because the prevent you from living a truthful life and getting closer to God. It is therefore in our best interest to help get as far away from these sinful states of mind, as possible.

The five deadly sins are:
• Kam Lust
• Krodh Anger
• Moh Attachment
• Lobh Greed
• Hankar Pride

Kam –- Lust

The biggest problem with lust is that people find it hard to understand. Before we start. let me differentiate between love and lust. There is a thin line between the two. One is a wonderful state of mind that can bring you closer to God and one is a seemingly-wonderful state of mind that will put distance between you and God.

Love is great, as a Sikh you are meant to love everybody to the best of your ability this is because God resides in everybody (including animals); so by loving everybody you love God.

In the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Maharaaj there is a lot of imagery whereby you are the wife and God is the husband. By total dedication to your partner will you be able to realise him.

“If she effaces her ego, then she merges in her spouse.”
Rag Suhi Ashtpadian 1st Guru.

In Sikhism loving relationships are where you help each other to get closer to God.

“O, Friends! Give me your blessing so that I may attain union with my master.”
Kirtain Sohila, 1st Guru Verse 3

So do not fear from loving people, it can only bring you benefits.
However you must differentiate between love and lust. Lust can take over your mind, and get you into sticky situations. If you ask most rapists why they committed the crime, they will often say “I couldn’t help it, I couldn’t control myself” Make sure that lust does not overcome you and get you into a sinful state which will be hard to get out of. By lust I mean carnal sexual desires . The desires that do not involve loving etc... One must be careful not to step over the line.

“Oh lust, thou landest the mortal in hell and makes him wander as many species”
Gauri 9th Guru


Krodh –- Anger

Anger is a sick state of mind. Like lust it can take over your mind and get you into sticky situations.
One might ask, “Well what about the 10th Guru and the early Sikhs, look at all those people that they angrily killed on the battlefield..” I tell you this, the true members of the Khalsa killed nobody out of anger only out of love. You see it is fear that leads to anger, the Khalsa fears nobody but God, and therefore they have no anger.
One will often have to stand up for oneself in one sense or another. When you do, make sure it is not out of anger, but make sure it is because you have to fight for Justice.
If you look at all those martial arts movies, you see the Buddhist kick everybody’s head in. He does not do it with anger, he is completely at peace with everybody (and himself). When he fights he does not fight with anger in his heart, but purity.
When you have to fight, ensure God’s name is residing in you and fight with all your heart, do not lose the battle before you start by giving your heart up to anger.

Moh –- Attachment

Moh is attachment to worldly goods or Mammon (known as Maya in Punjabi). One must be careful not to get caught up in chasing after money or material goods. Sikhism is not like other religions where it asks you to drop everything and become a hermit with no clothes or money. Sikhism encourages a household life (a ‘Ghristi Jivan’). Ultimately everything good that you have got is through God’s grace, enjoy it and be grateful. However you must not get so caught up in living your materialistic lives that you forget the Ultimate Objective – God.

Lobh –- Greed

Greed, one must not get caught up in gathering worldly things. You must be able to at the snap of a finger, renounce everything and follow the Lord should the call come.

Hankar –- Pride

This in my opinion is the worst sin of all 5. This is where your ego gets in the way of God. If you are anything like me, then whenever you do something good, you immediately think good of yourself. This essentially is a load of rubbish. The only reason something good has happened to you, is because God had graced you, it is through no cause of your own. If anything bad happens to you it is your fault, then why do we blame God?
Until we can realise that there is something greater than us, then we will not be able to advance. Pride or your Ego is the worst of the sins, renounce it you are nothing compared to the Lord.

“If a man destroys his ego and by the Guru’s grace receives the Lords love, then he attains Supreme status”
Bilaval Mahalla 4th Guru Ashtpada

“The Vedas proclaim aloud that the Reverend Lord likes no pride.”
Mohalla 3rd Guru

Conclusion

It all sounds very harsh. According to what I’ve written above, I’m definitely far from God and am going to be condemned to thousands of rebirths. However God is all loving and all forgiving. If you do do something wrong, then ask for his forgiveness and I promise that he will forgive you. Every-day we commit hundreds of sins, God is all loving and will forgive them all. Just repeat his name with all your mind, body and soul.

“If your hands, feet are dirty you clean them with water.
If your clothes are dirtied with Urine, you use soap.
If your mind is filled with sins, colour it with the Name of God.”
Japji Sahib 1st Guru.

With His kirpa, and then by one's realization of such deep bhakti, then determination to adhere to it firmly, in order to get that desired divine transformation. 
His grace and our sincere efforts go hand by hand.

Brother Still Nascent,
the Bani when refers to 10 doors, though some may take those doors as the different chakras(energy centers) we have within us, I believe the doors mentioned are as follows: 2 eyes, 2 ears, 2 nostrils, mouth, and the 2 lower apertures; being the tenth one, the one referred as the 3rd eye, or above and between the eyes.
You see, through these 9 apertures our attention, our consciousness, is dispersed/scattered in the mayavee nashvant creation, but it is by concentration at the 3rd eye, that we collect our consciousness and enter the spiritual realms and move upwards, towards Sach Khand where Waheguru the Highest Consciousness resides.
Though once in the subtler spiritual realms, one can move freely  there where one is instructed as per different techniques or means of concentration in any of the chakras right from the base of the spinal cord upto the one in the top of the head.
To clear a bit more the point of ten doors, following are some verses from the Bani, special attention those in black
mai har har naam adhaar rameeaa |
I take the Support of the Name of the Lord, Har, Har.
iKnu plu rih n skau ibnu nwvY gurmuiK hir hir pwT pVeIAw ]1] rhwau ]
khin pal rehi n sako bin naavai guramukh har har paath parreeaa |1| rehaao |
I cannot live, for a moment, even for an instant, without the Name of the Lord; the Gurmukh reads the Sermon of the Lord, Har, Har. ||1||Pause||
eyku igrhu ds duAwr hY jw ky Aihinis qskr pMc cor lgeIAw ]
eaek girahu dhas dhuaar hai jaa kae ahinis thasakar panch chor lageeaa |
In the one house of the body, there are ten gates; night and day, the five thieves break in.
Drmu ArQu sBu ihir ly jwvih mnmuK AMDuly Kbir n peIAw ]2]
dharam arath sabh hir lae jaavehi manamukh andhulae khabar n peeaa |2|
They steal the entire wealth of one's Dharmic faith, but the blind, self-willed manmukh does not know it. ||2||
 
The five thieves referred as robbers, is because, the wealth of Nam as well as other attributes are within us, but, by being scattered in the mayavee creation through the 9 doors, or apertures of the body, throughout the whole day, one remains unaware and devoid of that True wealth, thus goes as a paupper at the time of his/her departure from this world.
That is why Guru Jee, tells us  to enter through that 10 th gate or door, with the concentration of Nam, Gurparsad, as seen in my post above and enter into the spiritual realms, and move towards the direction ( Nanak Nam jahaaz hae, jinee chareeya se utareeya paar)of Sach Khand, the only permanent and eternal abode of Supreme Reality.
SSA.

Question 14: Dear Guru Jee, why is it that inspite of all the regular practices and  offerings to Waheguru I do not get even a glimplse of His darshan?
Guru Jee : my dear sikh, listen carefully; if you really want to have His darshan, you have to discard all other practices which keep you away from Him, and faithfully and devotedly do the following as I say : 
ਦਸਵੈ ਦੁਆਰਿ ਕੁੰਚੀ ਜਬ ਦੀਜੈ ॥
Dhasavai Dhuaar Kunchee Jab Dheejai ||
When the key is inserted in the Tenth Gate,
ਤਉ ਦਇਆਲ ਕੋ ਦਰਸਨੁ ਕੀਜੈ ॥੨੪॥
Tho Dhaeiaal Ko Dharasan Keejai ||24||
Then, the Blessed Vision of the Merciful Lord's Darshan is seen.
 
* Note: the Tenth Gate referred by Guru Jee in the verses above,  is located in the center above the 2 eyes;  and the key which has to be used to open that Door and have His darshan, is His simran alone.
SSA.
 

Question 13 : Guru Jee, what is that only one thing  that we should  always ask from Waheguru without fail?
Guru Jee: listen carefully to the following words my dear sikh, and keep them always present in your mind, for in it lies your true welfare.
ਕਿਰਪਾ ਕੀਜੈ ਸਾ ਮਤਿ ਦੀਜੈ ਆਠ ਪਹਰ ਤੁਧੁ ਧਿਆਈ ॥
Kirapaa Keejai    Saa Math Dheejai    Aath Pehar Thudhh Dhhiaaee ||
Shower me with Your Mercy, and bless me with that such understanding, that I may meditate on You, twenty-four hours a day.
Raag Suhi Guru Arjan Dev
 
SSA.

Question 12: Guru Jee, I am a bit confused, for I hear people say that all past noble and warriors who sacrificed their lives, are there as such in His court, is it true?
Guru Jee:   ਇਹੁ ਅਰੁ ਓਹੁ ਜਬ ਮਿਲੈ ਤਬ ਮਿਲਤ ਨ ਜਾਨੈ ਕੋਇ ॥੩੮॥
Eihu Ar Ouhu Jab Milai Thab Milath N Jaanai Koe ||38||
When this soul and that Lord are blended, then, having been blended, they cannot be known separately.
So,  all that you have heard is agyanta which creates doubts in you.
* Waheguru is One, when anybody returns there into Him, becomes one Him without any distinction. 
Any spiritual being/ entity if seen as such in any of the limitless lower spiritual realms, be sure that those realms are yet under the jurisdiction of maya, thus very much in Brahm, and much far away from Satnam, the Highest level of Consciousness and Truth.

I agree that evil must be confronted and challenged. I think some active members of our quom has been doing this admirably for a while now - in spite of massive challenges and powerful institutes constantly trying to undermine and obfuscate their efforts . I think forming alliances like you suggest is a very bad idea, because we have no idea of the motives and backgrounds of the external people who might act like allies but have other agendas. And I can guarantee some of those who will latch on will be informants planted by various agencies (including some sections of the police) inimical to the Sikh community trying to address this issue. It would only take one or two rotten eggs to completely defame us and set back the progress we have made. Then the issue just gets sidelined and dismissed as one only extremists are concerned with, whereas it is clearly a matter many people in the panth, from all sorts of backgrounds are concerned about. From your average mona to Amritdharis and all the spectrum in between. This is a very common tactic that has been used against us for decades now - we have to be wise to it. 
The ideal situation is a cultural shift amongst our entire community in problem nations. What we really need to aim for is awareness and vigilance that starves the predators of their victims. We need girls to not get themselves into these situations in the first place! This can only be achieved by education; not only of those who might be targeted but also wider family members in terms of how they raise their children. We also need to tweak attitudes which are so lost in the rat race for material gain and success (understandably) that they do not feel the sense of panthic ekta that they should, and only act concerned when problems hit them close to home. Often such people will sweep issues they have experienced within their families under the rug in order to keep up some facade of being successful and not having problems. Right now we frequently have this coy, prudish attitude towards the matter (although this appears to be slowly changing). Some family elders seem reluctant to broach the issue because it is contentious and perceived to be a 'dirty' subject they would rather avoid. This has to change, and I believe it is changing - though it could be faster. 
Another key issue I think we need to address concurrently is the taboo matter of sexual abuse within our community, within families or family friends. I think Bhai Mohan Singh of the SAS has done good, pioneering work in this respect. These things are vastly underreported in all communities, especially conservative ones. In addressing external predators we shouldn't forget sweeping up under our own beds [manji] (as the Panjabi saying goes). 

Its sickening of what is happening in the outside world especially for the young victims who are from dysfunctional families where nobody has tried to understand the victims thoughts or state of mind. Then they end up in this web of hell.

Well brother curious man jee,
from what I understand, is that, the all powerfull Waheguru Akal Purukh, will continoussly keep satisfying all our desires which keep on arising without any stop, for He is as great as only He is.
Eventually, we may get tired of asking, but He Sachay Patshah, never ever gets tired nor short,  even if the whole of the "kaenaat"  gets together and keeps asking countless times ....
Denda de : The bountless Giver, nonstop keeps on giving whatsoever is asked from Him
lenda thak paahe: to the extent that in the end, the receiver gets tired of asking and receiving.

MEDITATION AND PRAYER
Meditation  should not  be  confused  with  prayer -silent  or vocal.
A devotee prays in a  temple,  a shrine or at any place considered appropriate  by him, while in meditation  he worships in the  sacred and  stainless  shrine of  atma , which is  independent  of time , place and distance. 
Prayer is an earnest , humble request.  In prayer, the  devotee talks to the  God, communicates his feelings,desires and  gratitude  to Him. In meditation,  the devotee asks nothing  of God ; he simply  listens to  the  voice  of God within.  
In prayer,  he gets close  to  God , while  in meditation  he strives  to become one with  God. 
In prayer, a dualism between  God  and  devotee  exists; in meditation  the apparent  dualism eventually disappears.
THEREFORE,  IT IS BELIEVED  BY SOME THAT  MEDITATION IS THE HIGHEST FORM  OF PRAYER.

cybersing jee,
the purpose of this Bani as well as  any other, is only to get us purified in order to re-unite ourselves with Him, through the prem bhakti of the jaap of His paviter Nam, as seen in the following verses.
ਦੁਖ ਭੰਜਨੁ ਤੇਰਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਜੀ ਦੁਖ ਭੰਜਨੁ ਤੇਰਾ ਨਾਮੁ ॥
Dhukh Bhanjan Thaeraa Naam Jee Dhukh Bhanjan Thaeraa Naam ||
दुख भंजनु तेरा नामु जी दुख भंजनु तेरा नामु ॥
The Destroyer of sorrow is Your Name, Lord; the Destroyer of sorrow is Your Name.
 
To some the question now may arise as per how should it be done, well, it should be done as much as possible in the early hours of Amrit Vela, otherwise any time is good to wash away our countless paaps, that is why Guru Jee facilitates us  by saying:
ਆਠ ਪਹਰ ਆਰਾਧੀਐ ਪੂਰਨ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਗਿਆਨੁ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
Aath Pehar Aaraadhheeai Pooran Sathigur Giaan ||1|| Rehaao ||
आठ पहर आराधीऐ पूरन सतिगुर गिआनु ॥१॥ रहाउ ॥
Twenty-four hours a day, dwell upon the wisdom of the Perfect True Guru. ||1||Pause||
All time is auspicious time, if only He is remembered through His holy Name.
 
What other benefits happen, when clings on to His Lotus Feet through His Name?
Many beautiful  things happen of which we could not even imagine, for example :
ਜਮ ਕੰਕਰੁ ਨੇੜਿ ਨ ਆਵਈ ਰਸਨਾ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਣ ਗਾਉ ॥੧॥
Jam Kankar Naerr N Aavee Rasanaa Har Gun Gaao ||1||
जम कंकरु नेड़ि न आवई रसना हरि गुण गाउ ॥१॥
The Messenger of Death does not even approach those who chant the Glorious Praises of the Lord with the tongue. ||1|
 
Then one more most beautiful  thing:
ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਮਨਿ ਭਇਆ ਪਰਗਾਸਾ ਪਾਇਆ ਪਦੁ ਨਿਰਬਾਣੀ ॥੪॥੪॥੧੨੫॥
Kahu Naanak Man Bhaeiaa Paragaasaa Paaeiaa Padh Nirabaanee ||4||4||125||
कहु नानक मनि भइआ परगासा पाइआ पदु निरबाणी ॥४॥४॥१२५॥
Says Nanak, the Divine Light has dawned within my mind; I have obtained the state of Nirvaanaa. ||4||4||125|
 
Waheguru Akal Purukh Himself comes to abide in our minds.
What else can one want? What else is left to ask for?
 
Stay blessed.
