I've used far less insults and will use none. I'll stay on topic. This isn't a 50 50 thing. 

great book about the life and teachings of this mahapurkh

The reflected (adhyasika) Reality admits of degrees which are named:
(1) Vyavaharika satya (everyday life) - this chair is seen by me and is real. Ramana Maharshi, Talk 33
(2) Pratibhasika satya (illusory) - Illusion of a serpent in a coiled rope. The appearance is real to the man who thinks so. This phenomenon appears at a point of time and under certain circumstances. Ramana Maharshi, Talk 33
(3) Paramartika satya (ultimate) - Reality is that which remains the same always and without change. Ramana Maharshi, Talk 33

These are the basic books taught by Vadeh Mahapurkh

My sister has intense OCD after 7 yrs of suffering of figuring it out what was wrong with her!. As we did mri scan, all neurological scans it turn out to be OCD. I understand every case is different, if you certain you got OCD take the meds and see if it helps.

Gurfateh all,
Just passing by, wanted to post Adyatam questions and answers by Sant Jagjit Singh Harkhowale 2017 trip to toronto, they are deep answers as usual clears lot of doubts, give deep insight of gurbani and also into state of bhramgyan:

Not been on here for a long time, but I'll attempt to answer your question.....
A few reasons for the pause. 1st,  the pause is when you are neither breathing in or breathing out. it is a momentarily hold of breath. It makes sure you are listening. as in listening to the gurumantar.. when you pay attention to your focus(dhyian) at the moment you are pausing(holding breath), then you are focusing with more attention. .  just to add, a sniper or someone who is shooting a rifle or pistol at a target with precision, will, at the moment just before taking the shot, hold their breath and be in complete stillness.  In most sports, just before taking your snooker/pool shot or even a basket ball dunk, you will hold your breath at the decisive moment.. 
2nd, this pause or hold is your intro into getting to listen to the 'void'. For that is where the divine sounds will begin to appear.
3rd, We are in a world of duality. Duality came into existence when Waheguru blast(big bang) 'ong''emerged and creation was made. The 'singularity" of EK made the ONG, and KAR creation was made, hence "Ek ong-kar" .(see post below)  for example, we have Good-bad, dark-light, sun-moon, hot-cold etc..  The perfect place is to be neither left or right, but in the center. In the center, is the perfect balance, like a see-saw or scale when it's horizontal.  In similar fashion, amrit vela on a physical worldly level is when the moon's cooling energy is minimal and the sun's heat energy is beginning to emerge and at a point equivalent but opposite to the moon's.
 
 
 
Hope, the above helps you understand about duality and the importance of being still and neutral.
 
 

Bump, another light bulb moment, regarding where thoughts come from? There is individual antish karan surely but there is also collective antish karan for lack of better word- vayu mandal (field of awareness) thats why sadh sangat, naam simran, gurbani and positive thinking is encouraged all the time- to increase vibrations to deal with our own shortcoming/ also deal with thoughts and also vayu mandal - field of awareness- people we interact with whether its in the household, or outside world. At the end, never mind the thoughts- give it back to universe - keep going on the path of sikhi- naam simran, never be discouraged.
 

This shabad below is answer by Guru maharaj to his sikh- when they asked- where we come from? and where the world comes from? and how to go beyond mind?

its about time the real boyz showed up....wheres kaljug and kam1825 and so many others can't remember them magarmach, Dalsingh101, the geezer with baba Jawala Singh photo etc etc....sick of forums.... Singhs confused with what paper towel to wipe their eyes with or whether eating walkers crisps requires me to go Peshi.  Only after serious Gurbani Abhyas can you start to understand Gurmat, im on my 11th Sehaj Paat now.  This is a very rare appearance mainly out of love for Singh's.  I did myself benefit greatly from this site but now having seen the dasam duar and the hirda open where transcendence occurs, you actually get the real understanding then.  Read/study Kabirs shabad Jaani Jaani Reh Raja Raam Ki Kahani.  Too much quarreling and argueements now on forums, im only interested in saving myself.  facebook is really just a place for me to store the important passages from books im reading.  Im busy listening to this atm so Gurfateh to all and i'll try to make some posts again perhaps after 6 months.  Khalsa Ji Bhul Chuk Kima Karni, Gajke Fateh Bolo VAHEGURU JI KA KHALSA VAHEGURU JI KI FATEH

It is sad and shocking for the community as the school has been created and adheres to the Sikh ethos. However it is not a private independent school but one that is funded by the state but managed independently as an Academy under a Sikh Trust. Only up to 50% of Sikh students are given priority. The other 50% is made up from locals of any other faith so you get others also attending especially because it is a newly built school with modern facilities. Obviously it has given parents of children who attend the school cause for concern especially if the motives of children from other faiths is to try and convert and disrespect Sikhi. A lot of parents who choose to put their children in the school was so their kids would be free from bullying and where the kids could excel in like minded environment. I for one regret sending my son there. Not just because of this incident, but because I don't think a faith school attracts the best teachers and there is a very high turn over of staff at the school. They lack experience of running a school and it's becoming a hub for parents to get jobs when they may not have any experience in working an educational environment. If someone were to ask me if I should send my child there? I would say think it through it through and not just jump on the Sikh bandwagon because yes there are a fair few Sikh children there but is the setup and education really at a high standard? The school is stretched for funding so will make compromises where possible.
Primary is Sikh students heavy but in Secondary that it is not the case. As the primary years move up then the position in Secondary will change if parents still choose this to keep their children in the school for secondary. As a parent I'm deeply concerned if my child is getting the best possible education at this school, and would be taking a big gamble if he were to remain. The Ofsted rating of "Needs improvement" speaks for itself. It was rates Outstanding when it first was assessed then Panjabi politics kicked in and there was power struggle and key people were removed. After that there has been a high turnover of head teachers and staff. The KAT trust lost also lost it's secondary school in Slough West London. They just can't afford or attract the best and the good teachers/governors and the ones they do have leave or forced out. I had my reservations when I picked this school for my child, as those gut instincts were right.

Happy Vaishaki everyone!!!!!!

Gurdwara Mall Ji Sahib. This Gurdwara marks the spot where Rai Bullar witnessed Guru Nanak while sleeping beside a tree a large cobra shielded his head from the sun. Here Rai Bullar erected a small monument beside the tree which still stands today. Later a larger Gurdwara was built.
 
 
Here is picture of the tree Guru Nanak Ji slept under
