  1. A meal at a restaurant costs more than £25. So does a birthday or a Christmas gift. I have a confession to make- I was doing my rehras path and went to the shop. I handed my fiver then walked out. A fiver flew past me- I mistook it for my fiver and pocketed it. For some reason I had been viewing the fiver pretty lustfully before handing it over to the shopkeeper. Then I realised what I had done. I thought of the poor person who must have lost it. I should have handed it over. But with so much cheating going on in the world - who knows if the rightful owner would get it or not. I thought of throwing it on the street. That won't get it back to the original owner either. Matha tek at the gurdwara. Well I had failed my test. I love maya more than God. At least that one instant I did. Imagine what dhaat could have come my way if I had rejected that fiver. Well so it stayed in the pocket and I bought something with it wowing to get my class kids some nice gift worth a fiver, as it was the only cash I had with me that day. Despite having gone to the gurdwara, I didn't use it for matha tek. The guilt grew so great that I ended up doing everything - after that - everything I thought of ever doing with the fiver. Matha teked a fiver - 2 times until the guilt went away. Got the kids some erasers for Christmas. They were so happy - came home with a smile that day. Never again look at money like that! !!!!
  2. I experienced a hug from God. I really needed a hug from the man of the house I.e. my husband to be specific. However he had made it clear that a hug will not just be a hug.. Some more will accompany it. So this day, I was in a lonely but prayerful mood. Either I miss my prayer time or I miss the hug. I decided to forego the hug and settled down for prayer. That night I got my hug from invisible arms which I understand were of the almighty. I also understood that he has a spirit form. I woke up feeling a bit sorry for God. Then I thought he has the whole world in his hands and he can get a body anytime he wants to. So anytime I come across the pangtis which talk about Guru ji getting a hug from God, I remember that experience and how God is there to provide support to his bhagats. Funny enough I never paid any heed to those pangtis before. There are a number of them actually - now when I read them.
  3. The ones who used it for what it was really intended for were the muslims. See how many they are today.
  4. Regarding the male state of unstablemind such tthat any woman on the road is enough to kick in the animal instinct - yep my hubby tells me akl those feelings coz I asked him ans and I can handle it - the state a man should reach is where the female body unclothed appears to have no effect. This is what I readIin some old katha book where some rishi ji was being tested by God. He managed to achieve this stage. It is sort of going back to the days of adam and eve when they knew not what they could do and had no sense of their bodies not being covered.
  5. If you have the right partner and you are attracted to a high level it is possible that when your union takes place , you can experience your soul travelling out of your body. This is the state which people try to achieve during samadhi. Some Christian ladies always told me- if you get married your love should be two sided - your husband or wife should be able to love you back just as much. This is the God given love.
  6. I doubt it whether bani has asexuality in it. Sometimes jeev atma is referred to as a female and God as a male. So there is definitely a talk about male and female going on. This is the only way that a union is possible.
  7. It should be remembered that new years resolutions work better if you renew your commitment to your resolution every day of that year. The first day is just like any other day. It is not a magical day whereby you will get everything you want without putting in the effort. Every new years day we resolve to be better. The question should also be did you achieve your last year's resolution? I am sure no one even remembers what it was. It did not get written down so we don't quite know what it was! !!! So what about the other years? Did you achieve your new years resolution? Renew and review it everyday not just the one day that is the start of the year. Every day for me is like a new years day because I will take some time to think about yesterday and try to put right today what I think was wrong with me yesterday. I try to repeat what I think I did right yesterday st that it can become a habit.
  8. Only highly blessed people find themselves drawn towards SGGS, our living guru. The ultimate truth and guidance are contained within. The actual essence is obtained from continuous recitation of the shabads contained therein. These are directly from God himself.
  9. God just needs true worship wjich comes from deep down from the heart, not false pretending worshIp.
  10. Virtue and getting closer to God is the basis of all religions. However evil is the driver. Many people will do good to avoid something evil befalling them. Good would not exist if evil was not there. Good is a comparison and a complete opposite of evil. Evil is what brings good out I.e. evil had to fall upon Jesus for him to be crucified and gain his glory. We go to church or to the temple so that we can be saved from evil. So what does plato say about this relationship between evil and good.
  11. Jesus I believe was a highly enlightened soul who was aware of jis existence when God created the universe. He preached for the least amount of time - 3 years and no one at that time actually understood his parables. He did not relay the message in a straight forward manner. However the world later embraced Christianity and the missionaries worked hard to colonose the world and bring some sort of civilisation. A big thankyou to Jesus. None of his disciples were near him at the time of crucifixion. Believers in him came years after. In sikhism however the message comes straight forward. Practice naam simran, earn by the sweat of your brow and share your earni gs with others. Our Gurus have worked to perfectify every little portion of spirituality there might be to practice on this earth.
  12. Good time management. Keep time for bhagti as you can't do it 24 7. Devote time for career too. Alternatively choose a job that involves physical work. If necessary use alarms to keep reminding you of your duties. I remember being so busy... in school. Totally focused on each minute... to use time to its best productivity. The energy from bhagti is put into use to further your achievement in this world. Laziness imo is not a product of bhagti... it seems rather like a leisure time pass.
  13. This video shows us how prayers are first smoke and then turn into fire. Havan is a fire. So it makes more sense to me that this is the fire which our phaat turns to which in turn reaches God. There is lots of evil amongst our people. We believe in evil eyes, bad luck, bad omen, prayers not answered... well this makes more sense as to what the cause really is.

  15. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avadhuta Avadhūta (IAST avadhūta) is a Sanskrit term from the root 'to shake' (see V. S. Apte and Monier-Willams) that, among its many uses, in some Indian religions indicates a type of mystic or saint who is beyond egoic-consciousness, duality and common worldly concerns and acts without consideration for standard social etiquette.[1]Similar figures (colloquially called 'mad/crazy monks') are also known in Buddhist traditions, such as the medieval Zen monk Ikkyū, and the 20th century Tibetan tulkuChögyam Trungpa Rinpoche. In Tibetan Buddhism the equivalent type is called a nyönpa (Wylie: smyon pa).
