Well said bro. But the fact is, the seeds of Sikhi were planted by Guru Sahiban and Bhagat Jan thus they have to flourish. If anything but that much added by daas, is that at the end of the day, it is good to be helpful, but without losing from our sight, if we are truly working on ourselves the core teachings of Guru Jee, for at any moment without any notification we may have to leave this world, and then there will be no excuses of saying there, oh I am so sorry for not doing that Nam bhakti as I was busy helping my people, my kaum with all that religion is supposed to be from our narrow vision of the creation. Let's worry for ourselves first, for as per Bani, nobody, absolutely nobody can go go back to the Father, if not approved by Him. Believe it, nothing at all happens without His hukum, even the atheists, non believers, or even ourselves can do anything if He does not pull us from within. We tend to forget, it is His creation, He is the Lord... He knows everything. Now before anyone gets me wrong, let me clear, I am not saying He is favoring some and throwing others down, for we know not what are the heavy karmas gathered by others. Be good, but not to the extent of trying anything on anyone, for each one of us has to cover the chalked path before even we are born. From our side, me may see imperfections, but from His side, everything is perfect as it should be. If we are honest, with faith and love for Him, let us just be grateful to Him with each breath, from the very bottom of our hearts, for this His apaar bakshish on us. SSA.

God is not unfair, that is totally true. Bro, the problem is not with Waheguru, but is with us people. For the Bani says: aapay bheejeh aapaay khaae Which means you yourself sow the seeds(karmas) and you yourself will have to eat it(consequences). What has the good God to do here, if the foolish jeeva heavily incurrs in the entanglement of all sort of karmas, whether bad or good. It is not that God sows, and makes us reap the fruits, isn´t it? But as usual, the weak jeeva, likes to blame God for all his mistakes and bad deeds, what a fool... then too he wishes God to wave an imaginary magic stick and solve away all his problems and pains. The creation is sustained by the law of karma which God also created when the creation was made, so that there was total justice. For if here was no pain, how would ever the foolish human learn to abide by the laws of Nature? Naturally, never ever. In a way, pain, suffering and sicknesses, is also a blessing by God, so that the fools may learn by the hard way to behave as good human beings, (and also hold on to the arm of the Guru to get out from the endless cycles of births and deaths), when they willingly do not want to learn in the natural and easy way. The dumbness/moorakhta/agyanta of the human being is very thickly implemented in his mind, and has no intentions to remove it, so what can the good God do? We consider ourselves quite wise in worldly matters, but when it comes to our shortcomings, we say, God come and do this for me.... how silly. For example, the Bani in the below 4 verses, clearly summarizes the secrets of any true religion, but let us just think and answer sincerely, how many of us in spite of what Guru Jee is telling us to do to save our souls, yet how many actually put that in practice? For almost all, prefer to do many other things/practices according to their petty intellect, plus influenced by other moorakhs, that too when the Bani is crystalline clear, simple and direct without any double meanings. I still can not understand why people do not like to hold on to the One, and prefer to decorate themselves with layers, badges and lablels of "koor" of all that is temporary and perishable on themselves, for when the day will come to leave this plane, the soul will go naked without any of those perishable layers of "koor", either in the company of the mind and his own karmas, or the gathered wealth of Nam bhakti as per Bani, as simple as that. Now let´s have a attentive look to the 4 simple, beautiful and true verses of the Bani I am talking about: ਭਈ ਪਰਾਪਤਿ ਮਾਨੁਖ ਦੇਹੁਰੀਆ ॥ Bhee Paraapath Maanukh Dhaehureeaa || भई परापति मानुख देहुरीआ ॥ you have obtained this human body ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਮਿਲਣ ਕੀ ਇਹ ਤੇਰੀ ਬਰੀਆ ॥ Gobindh Milan Kee Eih Thaeree Bareeaa || गोबिंद मिलण की इह तेरी बरीआ ॥ and this is your chance(in human form) to meet the Lord of the Universe. ਅਵਰਿ ਕਾਜ ਤੇਰੈ ਕਿਤੈ ਨ ਕਾਮ ॥ Avar Kaaj Thaerai Kithai N Kaam || अवरि काज तेरै कितै न काम ॥ Nothing else will work. ਮਿਲੁ ਸਾਧਸੰਗਤਿ ਭਜੁ ਕੇਵਲ ਨਾਮ ॥੧॥ Mil Saadhhasangath Bhaj Kaeval Naam ||1|| मिलु साधसंगति भजु केवल नाम ॥१॥ Join the Saadh Sangat, and meditate on the Naam. *Can anyone see the simplicity, beauty and utmost Truth in these simple lovely 4 verses? Truly, no one is as wise as Guru Sahiban, and no one is as dumb or fool as the human being.... Guru Jee says, hold on to the One thing only, but we say, no Guru Jee, I want to do this, that, and that, and that, and that also ... we like to incur into varieties/diversity, which is Maya and "koor". Moreover the Bani also says: ਸੁਰਤਿ ਸਬਦਿ ਭਵ ਸਾਗਰੁ ਤਰੀਐ ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਖਾਣੇ ॥ Surath Sabadh Bhav Saagar Thareeai Naanak Naam Vakhaanae || सुरति सबदि भव सागरु तरीऐ नानक नामु वखाणे ॥ With one's consciousness focused on the Word of the Shabad, one crosses over the terrifying world-ocean. O Nanak, chant the Naam, the Name of the Lord. See the grace of God, we commit countless karmas under agyanta and the 5 vices, thus condemn ourselves, yet time after time, He blesses us with human body, with the hope of that we may learn from the teachings of the Guru and clear the total sum of of karmas with the soap of Nam to finish our coming and going in the endless wheel of 84 and merge in Him, our origin and goal. What more grace, kirpa and maafee, can He bestow upon us? And still, we only have complaints of Him? Shameless people.

The True Guru is the Shabad Guru, for the the physical bodies are made of the 5 perishable mayavee tattwas, so the body can never be the Guru, the Guru is the Jot of Waheguru Akal Purukh,whose main purpose when at our level is to awaken us from the slumber of ignorance by them singing the mahima of Akal Purukh and revealing us the path of the Truth as per Nam to clear our karmas and merge in our origin, Nam/Shabad, ultimate Truth. That is why Gurbani says: Sat/Saadh Sangat othay janeeyay, jithay Iko Nam vakhaneeyeh. The Truth is known there where the praises of Nam are sung in the company of the Holy.

SinghMunda Jee, though your post/topic is quite old for about 19 years now, I have just come through it and find it useful even today, for it affects each and every human being. The following verse from Guru Jee answers your query: ਕਿਰਤੁ ਪਇਆ ਕਰਤੈ ਕਰਿ ਪਾਇਆ ਮੇਟਿ ਨ ਸਕੈ ਕੋਈ ॥ Kirath Paeiaa Karathai Kar Paaeiaa Maett N Sakai Koee || किरतु पइआ करतै करि पाइआ मेटि न सकै कोई ॥ The karmic record of past deeds, written by the Creator Lord (as per the law of karma, by which the creation is in constant motion for the soul by the endless cycles of births and deaths) cannot be erased by anyone. And the limited free will you talk about, is the free will by His apaar kirpa that we become better human beings and collect as much as possible with our tiny hands by Simran, the inexhaustible riches of His Nam, for that akhoot bhandaar of His sacred Name will wipe away all the total sum up of our karmas for once and ever and at the same time strongly attract our surtees to Him, just as iron to magnet, then only shall we be freed from births and deaths. As simple as,that if no karmas, then no kismet, and consequently no births and deaths, then ultimately, our union with our beloved Waheguru in Sach Khand. Gurbani says: Prabh ka Simran garb na baseh. So bro, if in this way we wisely use our limited free will, then only we shall be saved for once and ever, by our union with Him, not any otherwise. Or also: ਵਿਣੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਨਾਲਿ ਨ ਚਲਸੀ ਸਭ ਮੁਠੀ ਜਮਕਾਲਿ ॥੨੭॥ Vin Naavai Naal N Chalasee Sabh Muthee Jamakaal ||27|| Viṇu nāvai nāli na chalsī sabh muṭhī jamkāli ॥27॥ विणु नावै नालि न चलसी सभ मुठी जमकालि ॥२७॥ Nothing will go with you in the end, except the Name; all are plundered by the Messenger of Death. | *Here Guru Jee can not be more clear, for they say: you may try all other tricks of jap, tap, pooja, paath, tiraths, fastings, moortee pujas, etc etc etc .... but, if you have not gathered the wealth of Nam, you have done nothing, and the messengers of death will pull you and take you to Narak, until you again get the human birth and learn the lesson of Gurmat, that without the devotion of Nam, everything else is just dust. At other place Guru Jee tells us: ਗੁਰ ਕੀ ਸੇਵਾ ਕਰਿ ਪਿਰਾ ਜੀਉ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਏ ॥ Gur Kee Saevaa Kar Piraa Jeeo Har Naam Dhhiaaeae || Serve the Guru, O my dear soul; meditate on the Lord's Name. He means, that to serve the Guru is nothing else, but to meditate on the Lord´s Name, this is the core teaching of Guru Jee, to love, serve and please Guru Jee, for He, Guru Jee, is our saviour, here and hereafter. SSA.

So sorry Bro. Though not easy, but the thing is, to leave behind all this headache, it is not worth that much tension . Give up all and turn to Guru Jee for help and guide within, and pray that whichever girl or not, is in your destiny, you will gladly accept it as His hukum, but also to bless you with love and faith for His Lotus Feet. Had anyone of us, had that pain, anguish, or love and faith for Him, instead for the worldly people or objects, for sure we would now have easily been one with Him, then believe it, nothing else matters at all, for we have given ourselves unto Him as His lovers, and all our kaamnas, trishnas get dissolved. Only He is and He remains at all times. SSA

By Inderpal1994, July 21 in Gurbani | Gurmat | Spiritual Poetry and Discussions Akaal Purakh lives within the belly? SSA Bro, regarding the title of your present thread found the following verse of First Patshahee from the Gurbani, in which it tells us, where we should look for the true Lord Waheguru Akal Purukh ਗਗਨ ਗੰਭੀਰੁ ਗਗਨੰਤਰਿ ਵਾਸੁ ॥ Gagan Ganbheer Gagananthar Vaas || गगन ग्मभीरु गगनंतरि वासु ॥ The Profound Lord dwells in the sky of the mind, the Tenth Gate; Raag Raamkali Dakhni Guru Nanak Dev Guru Sahiban clearly points out, where we should take our attention in meditation if only we pretend to find Akal Purukh. There are different energy centres through out our body starting, and Sach Khand is the highest plane of Consciousness far beyond mind and maya, that is why it is called also Paarbrahm. Where Paar means beyond and brahm means, illusion, maya, koor .... While all the lower chakras and the energy of Kundalini, are very much at the lower locations. Through chakras, Kundalini is awakened, the serpent energy, ridhis and sidhis are obtained but the jeev atma, is very much in the perishable creation. But, Guru Sahiban and Bhagat Jan through Gurmat, as per Bani, teach us to directly focus at the forehead and ascend upward, crossing the astral and causal planes, which are part and parcel of Brahm, and by holding on to the Jot of Shabad Guru, cross to Parbraham region, and from there on go on ascending in His company and finally reach our origin, Sach Khand, the true and eternal abode of Waheguru Akal Purukh. As seen in the verse above, Guru Jee clearly says that the Lord dwells in the sky of the mind, means, the upper space/location in our head, but definitely not in the belly. It is with the mind we think, so just as when we want to recall something, our hands move towards and touch our heads, and not about touching our chest, belly, or feet .... This is just a way of explaining, that the way/path for searching God without and dangers of lower energies, is safer and for sure within and upwards as per Gurmat. Illustration of the lower chakras and the ruling deities in them. 1. Muladhara It is also called as the root chakra and is located at the base of the spine. This chakra is the birth of human mindfulness. When the energy gathers at that point it is also called as Kundali. Muladhara. The Hindu god associated with it is Lord Ganesha. 2. Swadhisthana It is known as the Sacral Chakra and is positioned under the navel. This sacral chakra is located in the loins, and is related to sentiments, sexual pleasures and creativity. The Hindu God for to this chakra is Lord Vishnu. 3. Manipura Manipura is also known as Solar Plexus Chakra and is placed at the base of the chest bone. This chakra is linked to metabolism, liveliness, change and digestion. The Hindu God in control of this chakra is Maharudra Shiva. 4. Anahata It is also known as the Heart Chakra and is positioned at the center of the chest. The Hindu God related to this deity is Ishvara 5. Vishuddha It is known as the Throat Chakra and is positioned at the throat above the larynx. The Hindu God related is Sadashiva 6. Ajna It is also known as the Third Eye Chakra and is placed at front part of the forehead in between eyebrows. The Hindu God related is Ardhanarishvara –a genderless form of Lord Shiva and Parvati, also popularly known to be Devi and Shakti. 7. Sahasrara It is also known as the Crown Chakra and is positioned at the top of the head. It is the source of the uppermost intellect or prajnanam. placed at the tip of the head. The Hindu God related is Lord Shiva. And the goddess is Yakiniyamba. She is represented holding weapons in the faces of all the colors of the chakras and resides in Shukla. *We can clearly see in the above elaboration, that all the energy forces are deities ruling in those centers. Nowhere can ever anyone say, Akal Purukh is to be found there, simply because Sach Khand, the abode of eternal and absolute Truth, is much much farther and still much higher, where no deities rulers of the lower chakras, can ever reach..... thus not found either. While on the other side, Gurbani says: Sach Khand vaseh Nirankar. We as sikhs, our aim should be only to look and search for our true Origin, which is none other than Waheguru and Sach Khand, with the only means of devotion and love to the Shabad Guru. I really feel pity, when I see so many teachers of different paths/ ways/sciences/yoga/pranayama, drawing our attention away from what Guru Sahiban tell is in the Bani, and lead us to other undercovered destinations, except that which should lead us to Akal Purukh. We are all weak, we easily get fascinated and attracted towards these paths, and think we are spiritually achieveing something. No doubt, we are spiritually reaching some levels... but sadly, towards other inferior levels, but not Sach Khand, and as seen, almost nobody is that much alert or consciouss about the core teachings of Gurmat, we keep on telling others to do this or that, as if that was all what spiritualiy is about... almost nobody cares for Nam, which Guru Sahiban in each and every Ang remind us of only devoting ourselves to IT, with all our mind and body. Instead of looking for diamonds(Waheguru), we are idiotically satisfied and looking for shells(lower energies).... what else can be expected from the poor fellows .... it is indeed sad, but the bitter truth. *Note: Lastly I would like to say, that with this my post, my intention is not of hurting anybody, for everyone is free to do whatsover one wants with one´s life, but as a sikh brother and a low disciple of Guru Jee, my only intention is to draw nearer our attention to what Gurmat tells us, teaches us through each and every Ang; alas... if only we paid careful attention to what we read and listen in Gurbani. There are many countless powers, deities, creations upon creations within us, but, the only Power to which we should pay attention, is the one that of Satnam, Sachee Bani, Anhad Bani, with the devotion of Nam Simran. Ik Oankar Satnam Satgur Parsad Jap. Moreover, that is why Guru Jee says: ਧਨੁ ਵਿਰਲੀ ਸਚੁ ਸੰਚਿਆ ਨਿਰਮਲੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਪਿਆਰਿ ॥ Dhhan Viralee Sach Sanchiaa Niramal Naam Piaar || धनु विरली सचु संचिआ निरमलु नामु पिआरि ॥ How rare are those who gather the wealth of Truth, and love the Immaculate Naam, the Name of the Lord. SSA.

Sorry Bro, I never said those are sants about whom some people take them as such, and then, even then, their thought process has to flow with the teachings of the GURU. Be it anybody, nobody is above the Guru. Is that much, difficult to understand, third time?

Well brother, I was just saying, that whom people refer to some as Sants or Mahapurukhs, then to know if they are truly what they are supposed to be, and as said above, their thought process has to flow in the same direction of the teachings of Guru Jee, otherwise they are fake and the cause of agyanta among mankind.

Bro, If there are any true sants or mahapurukhs, their thought process has to always flow in the same direction with the gyan of the GURU, the embodiment of light, gyan and eternal Truth, otherwise they are pakhandees, thus the cause of thick moorakhta.and agyanta. SSA.

My dear small brother, it is all fine what you say, but also keep in mind that as per Gurbani, there is another Amrit which one can have it and attain eternal life, which can very well be reflected in the following verse: Amrit naam parmaysar tayraa jo simrai so jeevai. Your Name, O Transcendent Lord, is Ambrosial Nectar; whoever meditates on it, lives forever. And believe it, to have this Amrit, there is no limit of time, age, gender, caste, creed, nationality or whatsoever .... it just needs faith, courage, and love for the Divine. This Amrit, the Lord has kept it within all of us in equal measure without any manmukhee limitations, any wadbhagee jeeva, who dares to go within by His grace, will drink it and achieve jeevan mukti, salvation while live. Such is the aparampaar mahima of His holy purifier Amrit Nam. Stay blessed. SSA

Hi Bro, I am going to share my 2 cents with the query in your post above . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GurjantGnostic Posted 9 hours ago This translation looks weird. Thoughts on what this is saying? The bit on crucifix and the next particularly. ਗਰਦਸਤਿਮਨਹਮੇਸ਼ਾਪੈਇਕਾਰਮੀਰਵਦ gar dhasat man hameshaa pai kaar meeravadh Although my hands and feet are occupied in my mundane activities, ਮਨਚੂੰਕੁਨਮਕਿਦਿਲਬਸੂਇਯਾਰਮੀਰਵਦ॥੨੮॥੧॥ man choo(n) kunam k dhil basooi yaar mee ravadh || 28 || 1 || But what can I do, (because I am helpless) my mind is constantly thinking of my Beloved. (28) (1) * Here it means, that though one may be busy fulfilling one´s duties towards the world, internally he is thinking about the beloved Guru Jee/Lord, whenever there are a bit of free moments. jut as a mother goes out for work or anything, yet her heart and mind is always thinking about her child. ਆਵਾਜ਼ਿਲਨਤਰਾਨੀਹਰਦਮਬੋਗ਼ਸ਼ਿਦਿਲ aavaaz lanataraanee har dham bog(h)sh dhil Although the voice of 'One cannot see' keeps echoing in our ears all the times, ਮੂਸਾਮਗ਼ਰਬਦੀਦਨਿਦੀਦਾਰਮੀ-ਰਵਦ॥੨੮॥੨॥ moosaa mag(h)r badheedhan dheedhaar mee-ravadh || 28 || 2 || But still Moses kept on going to get a glimpse of the Lord. (28) (2) ਈਣਦੀਦਾਨੀਸਤਆਣਕਿਅਜ਼ੋਅਸ਼ਕਮੀ-ਚਕਦ e'een dheedhaa neesat aan k azo ashak mee-chakadh This is not the eye that will let out any tears, *Though one may not be able to see the beloved Lord with these physical eyes, His Shabad Dhun, Anhad Bani, Sachee Bani, is always resounding within us non stop all the 24/7, which one can hear it if only we concentrate through meditative simran. Moosaa, once having darshan of the Jot of Beloved within, always wants to have it at all times. ਜਾਮਿਮੁਹੱਬਤਅਸਤਕਿਸਰਸ਼ਾਰਮੀ-ਰਵਦ॥੨੮॥੩॥ jaam muhabat asat k sarashaar mee-ravadh || 28 || 3 || In fact, the cup of love and devotion is always full to the brim. (28) (3) ਦਿਲਦਾਰਵਾਦਿਲਜ਼ਿਬਸਕਿਯਕੇਅੰਦਦਰਵਜੂਦ dhiladhaar vaa dhil z basak yake a(n)dh dhar vajoodh The heart and the beloved are so much intertwined with each other, ਜਾਣਦਿਲਹਮੇਸ਼ਾਜਾਨਬਿਦਿਲਦਾਰਮੀ-ਰਵਦ॥੨੮॥੪॥ jaan dhil hameshaa jaanab dhiladhaar mee-ravadh || 28 || 4 || That this is the reason that it always keeps running towards (seeking) the latter. (28) (4) *When one goes within and tastes the flavor of Nam, one gets purified and is fully receptive to the bakhshish of Waheguru, who is constantly showering love-prem and devotion-bhakti, to any wadbhagee who is brave and goes within by the repetition of His holy Name. ਦਰਹਰਦੋਕੌਨਗਰਦਨਿਊਸਰ-ਬੁਲੰਦਸ਼ੁਦ dhar har dho kauan garadhan uoo sara-bula(n)dh shudh Any one who rushes towards the crucifix like Mansoor ਮਨਸੂਰਵਾਰਹਰਕਿਸੂਇਦਾਰਮੀ-ਰਵਦ॥੨੮॥੫॥ manasoor vaar har k sooi dhaar mee-ravadh || 28 || 5 || Will have his neck and head high with pride in both the worlds. (29) (5) * Any one who wishes to run within oneself (the Crucifix), or has desires to go within, and have His darshan, is most welcome by the Lord Himself and thus that person can proudly say in this world and the world hereafter, he has fulfilled his duty, his purpose as a human being, of God realization and thus achieving the salvation of his soul. ਗੋਯਾਜ਼ਿਯਾਦਿਦੂਸਤਹਕੀਕੀਹੱਯਾਤਯਾਫ਼ਤ goyaa z yaadh dhoosat hakeekee hayaat yaaphat Goyaa says, "I have found the real life in the remembrance of my beloved, ਦੀਗ਼ਰਚਿਰਾਬਕੂਚਾਇਖ਼ੁਮਾਰਮੀ-ਰਵਦ॥੨੮॥੬॥ dheeg(h)r chiraa bakoochai khhumaar mee-ravadh || 28 || 6 || Why should I now have any reason to visit the tavern or the pub?" (29) (6) * Goyaa has found the real life, which means, by His grace, he has found that eternal life, of freedom from the cycles and deaths, which is achieved by the only remembrance/ simran of His holy Name, thus is free of the desire of satisfying his bhog/karam indriyas which keep us trapped in committing sins/karmas, thus prisoners in the mayavee perishable creation. Bhai Nand Lal Ji in Vaaran SSA

SSA Brother. Your love and faith for Guru Jee is admirable and praise worthy. It is indeed a blessing from Him. So be thankful for that bakshish. Have faith in Him, if He has brought you to your present stage, for sure He will take care of you some more years and still more. But at your present age, worldwise you also need to mature by growing mentally/ intellectually and be a bit patient. My advice is, do as your parents say to wait after you pass 12th standard, they really want the best for you, after Waheguru usually they are our guardians and the best well wishers also till their last breath. You see, our relation with Him is interior, personal and spiritual , where nothing and no one can interfere. You can talk and pray to Him at any time and place, for He is omnipresent and omniscient. So, just as you have grown from childhood to teen age now, these few years will pass also by His kirpa. Study and prepare yourself to be able to choose your career and earn a honest living, and not dependent on anyone. This will make you walk firmly and remain steady on the narrow road of spirituality. My best wishes and blessings . SSA.

SSA Bro, I do not know what is going in your mind to say to descend into the gutter .... but there for sure is not a place to go, and I will never ever go, who the hell wants 5hit? I am sure you have a different meaning by saying those words, so please say exactly what you mean and I may or not give my opinion .... Secondly, Bachitar Natak is just a bit too much to understand and digest it, at least for a lowly person like me. But then too, if you or anyone asks me, what have you found useful for you? Then I will just bring forward the following 2 verses which are more than enough for me as a soul to understand and work on it, to reach my goal Waheguru Akal Purukh, rest is all His khel which only He knows about, so who can even dare to imagine His Infinity? ਨਿਰੰਕਾਰ ਨ੍ਰਿਬਿਕਾਰ ਨਿਤ੍ਯੰ ਨਿਰਾਲੰ ॥ Nrinkaara Nribikaara Nitaiaan Niraalaan ॥ निरंकार न्रिबिकार नितयं निरालं ॥ He is Formless, Flawless, eternal and Non-aligned *This is what He is ਜਿਨੈ ਨਾਮ ਤਾ ਕੋ ਉਚਾਰੋ ਉਬਾਰੇ ॥ Jini Naam Taa Ko Auchaaro Aubaare ॥ जिनै नाम ता को उचारो उबारे ॥ Those who have remembered the Name of the Lord, have been saved, ! *This is what I need to pay attention and do to reach Him. SSA.

What others say, whosoever maybe is not that important if that does not telly with Gurbani, for, Gurbani does indeed say, that the Guru, of the supreme heights as Guru Sahiban, is the manifestation of Akal Purukh Himself. gur mayree poojaa gur gobind. I worship and adore my Guru; the Guru is the Lord of the Universe. gur mayraa paarbarahm gur bhagvant. My Guru is the Supreme Lord God; the Guru is the Lord God. But the thing is, though Guru Sahiban are undoubtedly Akal Purukh, but, that does not mean that they will be our Aladdin´s genie, to fulfill our desires and wishes, or save us from sickness, poverty, riches, grant children and so onnnnnnnn. Rather they firstly come to teach us learn to live in whatever happens according to our own karmas bravely, for the action/reaction effects of karmas is also His hukum. He, is not like a magician with a magic stick to waver, or like corrupted politicians in changing/modifying the laws upon receiving bribery .... it is the most inhuman injustice man can do to Him, and then too blame Him, out of own ignorance about how Nature works. Secondly, they come to release us from al our manmukhta/agyanta, and teach us to connect our surtees with the jugtee or abhyaas of Nam simran, to the Shabad Guru within , the link between us and Him, in whose company will the soul return back Home. That is why also the Bani says: Mat koee bharam bhoolay sansaar, bin Satgur koee na utraas paar. Bin Satgur kinay na paaya, Bin Satgur kinay na paayo. Would like to end with humble tribute to Guru Jee : Guru Guru Guru kar man mor, Guru bina mai nahee hor

Some techniques to be able to comfortably sit in the lotus pose for longer time in meditative practices

Found this video, which touches several interesting points/useful information for whoever practices meditation, not that I agree with the method of Kundalini, but, there are many common points which are good knowing or we are not aware of, for those as said who engage in spiritual practices. Though the video may seem a bit long and thus one may not feel like watching it, but I do sincerely encourage anyone to watch it, there is nothing to loose. Thanks.
