You wander from door to door like a dog, unconscious of the Lord's meditation.

You lose this human life in vain, and You are not even ashamed when others laugh at you

"Turn your face toward the sun and the shadows will fall behind you."

"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.

🙏 Dhan Sri Guru Ram Daas Sodhi Patshah Ji Maharaj, Oct 15.

Malik teree razaah raheh
aur Tuhee Tuhee raheh
bakee na meh rahoo
na meree arzoo raheh

Simran karta chal manah
kaisee jeet aur haar
Sajjan baseh jho seenay meh
khud leh jaaega paar

🙏 Dhan Guru Nanak Tuhi Nirankaar, Oct 13.

*Note: in a similar way, by being in the web  mayavee creation is not the motive to be stuck in the cycle of 84, it is by not meditating on Him as per Bani, to get out of this false web/creation and merge in Him forever.

- Napoleon Hill
*Note: We should never feel discouraged if by any of our efforts as per bhakti we think we are not making any progress by having even a glimpse of His darshan, it is not that His Light has diminished in any way, it is only that,  the veil of our karmas is yet very thick, but surely, by persisting without fail in our regualr Bhakti, we shall surely pierce it by His grace. 

Note: in our case as jeevas, we should also do His bhakti as much as possible, before death takes place.
