One half of our heart always knows that some wishes would never come true,
Still the second half waits for the magic and miracles to happen......
That’s life   🍁        🍁        🍁
Your wound is probably not your fault but your healing is your responsibility..........
             
 
Be soft n cool like water, so that you can adjust anywhere in life.
Be hard and attractive like diamond , so no one can play with your emotions
 
 
Likable people will always do better in life.
Their positive vibrations can be sensed by others and helps them with better progress in career and in life.
 
 
No matter how educated, talented, rich or cool you believe you are
How you treat people ultimately tells what you are.
 
Integrity is everything.
 
 
 

Can mantras be chanted silently? 
By Devala Rees
Generally speaking, mantras can and should be chanted silently, if and when you are able to keep the mind’s attention on the mantra.
Mantras function mainly in the mind. The sounds of the mantra should the object of your attention - ideally the “inner sound” chanted internally.
When you vocalize the mantra and chant it out loud, the sound may help you to attune yourself to the pronunciation of the mantra and the vibration of its energy, and to calm your mind.
The Vedas refer to this as Vaikhari Japa. It is helpful when you are distracted; if your awareness slips off the mantra, pronounce it out loud to allow you to come back to the energy of the sounds.
The physical sound of the mantra becomes the focus of your attention. This is said to be a good way to begin chanting most mantras, since a beginner’s mind is easily distracted.
When the mantra is whispered or hummed quietly enough to not be heard by others, this is known as Upamsu Japa.
This method requires a deeper level of awareness, and is many times more powerful than Vaikhari.
Now you may further experience the effects of the sound vibrations in your body, your breathing, and the feeling of the mantra in your mouth, lips, and tongue.
When you “chant” the mantra silently, in a purely mental way, it is called Manasika Japa.
This form of repetition requires a great level of attention to keep the mind pointed on the mantra.
It is many times more effective than Upamsu Japa.
However, this is a generalization across mantras overall. For specifics, one must refer to the specific instructions that go along with a certain mantra.
It’s ideal to receive a mantra from a Guru, who will also give you directions on how to use it.
For example, my Guru initiated me with a Tantrik Krishna Mantra.
She taught me to recite it mentally, not out loud, though I do sometimes like to sort of mouth it with the internal shape of my mouth, without actually parting my lips; I find that it helps my mind articulate the mantra precisely.
But my Guru also sometimes has me and other disciples chant certain other mantras loudly, especially in group Sadhana, where we want to hear and feel each other’s energy all joined together in prayer and worship.
Similarly in Pujas or Yagnyas, most of the mantras are chanted aloud, and participants are sometimes encouraged to join in, also out loud.
For example the Panditji of my local Mandir often tells us to chant certain mantras along with him, and frequently tells us “Louder! Louder!”
He taught me that for that kind of chanting, if you’re not striking deep in your diaphragm with a resonant voice then you’re not doing the mantras properly.
So it depends on the application as well as the specific mantras. Follow the instructions you receive from qualified teachers.

Respect the "No"
Once, a Bird searched for a Home to lay her Eggs and Shelter in the Rainy Season.
In her Search, She saw Two Trees,
 and She went to ask for Protection.
 
When She asked the First Tree,
 It refused to give her Shelter.
With Disappointment,
 She went to the Second Tree.
And the Second Tree agreed.
 
She made her Home and laid her Eggs, and then the Rainy Season arrived.
The Rain was so heavy that the first Tree fell and was carried away by the Flood.
 
The Bird saw this and,
 in a taunting way, said:
 ”See, this is your Karma,
 you didn’t offer me Shelter, and
now God has given you the Punishment.”
 
The Tree smiled for the last time and said :
”I knew I’m not going to survive this Rainy Season.
 That’s why I refused you.
I didn’t want to risk your and your Children’s lives.“
 
The Bird had tears as She now knew Why She and the Kids were alive !
 
Moral :
1. We should  not always consider someone’s "NO"as their Arrogance
2. You don’t know the whole picture.
3. Respect others' Decision
 whether it is in your favor or not.
4. We get so involved in our Problems that we forget to view the other person’s point.
5. Without even trying to understand the Motive,we make our Judgments.
6. We should Never Judge others by their “No” because we
 don’t know their Story.
7. You don’t know what good is hidden for you behind it.
Always Respect the "NO."
Pause, and think about it deeply before you pass any Judgments about it in your Mind.❗

So young Bro and so much wanting to know the Truth..... Very good, I appreciate and value your quest, this is the fuel to move forward in spirituality just as in any other field, but in spirituality, it is much more of His pull from within rather than a person´s wanting.
Keep it up bro.
 
Ok, so now going to your 2 questions above:
Q1) how to get gurprasad ?
A1) The thing is, while going through the Bani, people make pauses where they shouldn´t, for that modifies completely what Guru Sahiban wanted to convey us.
It should be, Gurparasd Jap, continously, and not Gurparsad then in the next line Jap..
Guru Sahiban, start the Bani by describing the true nature of the Creator and sustainer of His creation, then, after describing Him, say: Gurparsad Jap, which means that He the absolute Lord Waheguru Akal Purukh, can be realized by using the grace showered upon us of Guru Sahiban, and so, what is that Grace?
That bountiful and eternal Grace is, that They have revealed us that eternal and changeless Truth which is Nam or Shabad (Waheguru/Satnam), the true form of Waheguru; and just see the utmost beauty in these simple 2 words Gurparsad Jap, which means He is realized by the doing the jaap of that Truth, which they have graciously revealed us : Satnam.
Because they come from that level of Highest Consciousness, where Satnam is sole eternal reality, so that is what they stress upon us to hold on tightly, if only we want to reach Him within us, not otherwise.
That is the summary of Gurmat, that is their reason or purpsoe of coming at our human level, to share with us in our own understandable terms and limitations, to kindle the love and yearning in our hearts, for Him, our beloved Waheguru Akal Purukh.
Had Guru Sahiban and Bhagat Jan of highest order not come at our human level, we could never ever even though about Him, just as like the rest of the creation lost in delusion, after devis, devtays, Avtars, trinities, prophets, adoration of lifeless and inert pictures, figures,  etc, etc and etc ... a big whole lot of ignorance and manmat....
See, at each step in the Bani, Guru Sahiban only stress on the that unchangeable Truth: Nam/Shabad/Naad, Sachee Bani/Anhad Bani, Dhur kee Bani.... to the extent, that Guru Jee warn us to do that what is productive and fruitful: Eko Nam  Hukum hae Nanak  Satgur dhee bujhae jeeo.
We may ask, why have Guru Sahiban stressed so much on Nam or Shabad? Because it is the only changeless Truth since Aad Jugaad, and if we can hold on to it, it will take us there from where it is constantly coming and going continously.
Our body is like an airport, and Nam is the vessel while the Shabad Guru is the pilot of that craft or vessel, in which whosoever boards on, reaches back at Nijh Ghar.
Nanak Nam jahaaaz hae  jinee chareeya se utareeya paar
That is why Guru Jee says:
Bin Satgur kinaay na paaya ..... Bin Satgur kinnay na paayo.
The whole of the Bani is nothing but aparampaar mahima of Waheguru Akal Purukh and His real eternal formless form: Nam/Shabad.
 
 
 
Q2) in anand sahib we read " ghar taa tere sabh kich  hai jiiss deva soo pava ".if you could explain it
A2) Well brother, again you have asked a very important and meaningful question.
ਘਰਿ ਤ ਤੇਰੈ ਸਭੁ ਕਿਛੁ ਹੈ ਜਿਸੁ ਦੇਹਿ ਸੁ ਪਾਵਏ ॥
Ghar Th Thaerai Sabh Kishh Hai Jis Dhaehi S Paaveae ||
घरि त तेरै सभु किछु है जिसु देहि सु पावए ॥
Everything is in Your home; they receive, unto whom You give.
 
So now, what does Guru Sahiban mean with this assertion?
What is that everything is in Your Home?
Do they refer to material gains, possesions, wealth, jewellery, mansions, paradises, gold, silver, diamonds .... and an infinite etc.......
Nope, they do not refer to all these mayavee and perishable things ....
It is to Nam and Shabad to what they refer, for as the Bani says: Sach Khand vaseh Nirankar.
And the verse mentioned by you means: Nam is all what You have, and to those You choose to come back to You, You make them meditate on Nam only as per Gurmat,  the devotion liked the most by You.
The rest of the world, may read the Bani and see the Truth contained in it, but will remain on the surface like parrots, and will thus prefer many other things to do and stay engaged into them as per terms of devotion in eyes of the world.
This is the real meaning of the versed asked b you, I know many will not like what I am writing, but not because of somebody´s liking or not, I am going to not be faithful and respectful to the Bani.
I will not, and never ever blame anyone, for to reach Him, is only by His hukum, not by any man´s will .
Man wants and creates diversity/variety , thus they remain in delusion, and keep on rolling in the wheel of 84, but He, will give us the devotion of Nam (is not a word, or a name, in any language or dharam, rather it is a Creative power of the Highest order), for that is all that He has, and because that is what will free us from all our sins, sanskaras, mun , maya and vikaars, to ultimately take us towards Him.

Your first time here?
You're a native punjabi speaker?
Usually when people come, try and take the convo offline and have a locked down profile, it's a red flag. 

O my True Lord and Master, what is there which is not in Your celestial home? Everything is in Your home; they receive, unto whom You give. Constantly singing Your Praises and Glories, Your Name is enshrined in the mind. The divine melody of the Shabad vibrates for those, within whose minds the Naam abides. Says Nanak, O my True Lord and Master, what is there which is not in Your home?||3|| 
We are already and have always been in Karta Purakh. 
We are given Naam and Singing Kirtan, and by resonnating on it, we can dispell the illusion of seperation and open the Dasam Duar. 
If you have Naam you've been given much of this grace already. I'd say use what you've been given to find more. 

Loving and Amazing World By Richard Strachan.
 
“Drink water from the spring where horses drink. The horse will never drink bad water.
Lay your bed where the cat sleeps. Eat the fruit that has been touched by a worm.
Boldly pick the mushroom on which the insects sit. Plant the tree where the mole digs.
Build your house where the snake sits to warm itself.
Dig your fountain where the birds hide from the heat. Go to sleep and wake up at the same time with the birds – you will reap all of the days' golden grains.
Eat more green – you will have strong legs and a resistant heart, like the beings of the forest.
Swim often and you will feel on earth like the fish in the water.
Look at the sky as often as possible and your thoughts will become light and clear.
Be quiet a lot, speak little – and silence will come in your heart, and your spirit will be calm and full of peace.”
Saint Seraphim of Sarov
Nature is talking to you, are you listening?

If there is a family of swimmers who have been swimming for consecutive generations, is it possible that over time future generations could evolve to have adaptive characteristics to swim like aquatic animals? Meet the Bajau people in South East Asia.

 
Also known as the “Sea Nomads” these people have been living semi-aquatic lives for thousands of years. Almost their entire lives revolve around the ocean.
These people are constantly diving and thus holding their breath. This has lead to several evolutionary novelties in these people which are adaptation for diving in the ocean.
An increased spleen size due to genetic mutations in PDE10A in these people acts as an oxygen reservoir so they can hold their breath longer.
Mutations in the gene BDKRB2 also increases peripheral vasoconstriction helping the body preferentially oxygenate important parts of the body like the brain while diving.
Mutations in the gene FAM178B (which might have evolved via adaptive introgression from Denisovan interbreeding) help maintain regular pH in the bloodstream to prevent carbon accumulation during diving, variants of PDE10A help regulation of smooth muscle contraction including ones near the spleen, and variants of CACNA1A are involved in the regulation of the release of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate and the response to hypoxic conditions.
Essentially this group of people has evolved to become extremely resistant to hypoxia because of selection pressures from regularly diving.
So yes, it is very possible for a lineage of human exposed to aquatic environments to develop adaptations for swimming.
Not just possible because as you can see here it is happening before our very eyes. Because humans still evolve, we never stopped.
Though not likely a single family of diving people led to it, because inbreeding tends to lead to extinction.

SSA Harmeet Bro,
Welcome.
I suggest you to ask your questions here on the forum openly, for there is no shame in asking,  nor there is anything to hide by asking questions about Gurbani or spirituality; in this way, you may get a wide range of answers from the sangat here who will gladly answer your queries.
By the email way, I think only some fewer may contact you.
So come on Bro, please feel comfortable ask freely.

GOT DAMN!!!!

Please feel free to ask questions here.
If you prefer to talk via email, Daas can email you.
 
Bhul chuk maaf

We can discuss here Veer Ji. Welcome. 
It means 1 already knows how you die and there's no avoiding it. Just be doing Simran. 

My name is harmeet singh , 22 year old , is here anyone intrested in gurbani discussion .
 
I have many questions , one of them is " in sohella sahib we read that time of death is fixed " , i am unable to understand it . I have  many more question . Kindly email me harmeetsinghchugga@gmail.com so we can discuss about gurbani.

A1)The Simran is always done by the mind, in order to get purified(Prabh ka simran man kee mael jaae), and once purified to an extent, it can enter into the spiritual subtle realms within.
A2) We are not the mann, we are the jeev atma, a spark of the consciousness/Jot  of Satpurush. Yet we are tied knot with the mind in each birth to remain prisoners in the creation of Kal and Maya.
And unless we are born as human beings, and with the aid and guidance of the teachings in the Bani which in short and beautifully says: 
Eko Naam hukum hae Nanak Satgur dheea bujhae jeeo.
And the Simran of Nam is also the cutter of that otherwise tight knot between the mind and soul.
The Nam simran, is the one medicine for all our maladies, and the method to eternal bliss and union with our origin, Satnam.

'Angry-Saxon' vegetable. 

We can't do It unless allowed, is a way to converge the concepts of it. 
Every time we do Simran ego and paap dies, so I guess the real self watches itself emmerge as Vaheguru allows it to Jaap naam and the ego screams and dies or peacefully surrenders as the Paap burns. 

It's like an infinite cloud server of infinite resources beyond our comprehension, and only one ROOT admin, but we can be re-elevated to our superuser priviliges, identical to Root priviliges, but not accessible without your account being approved, resources allocated, and password provided. 
You can't say any account isn't the cloudserver. But...accounts come in unlimited number of limited configurations. And quantum and infinite, as a cloudserver, superusers can be given access to identical resources as the ROOT cloud itself. 
But who is doing this, is the only WHO, is the 1cloudserverindescribable. All processes emenate from and terminate in this. All is computed by Th1s, scripted by this, hosted by Th1s. 

SSA Free 123, please go through this wonderful post by brother Amardeep, though it is quite old (2009) yet it is full of knowledge, which somehow I feel, it can clear many of your questions, for it deals with the Creator, Trinity, Shakti,  mind, soul, higher entities, 84 lakhs of species, and a whole lot of related stuff... it is just fantastically amazing .... please just go through it slowly, if needed read it as many times as needed... it is just mind blowing, how Satpurkh has created this infinite creation from our point of view.
Maybe it could be a bit difficult to grasp it all, yet, it is delightful in it... somewhere in this thread, it states that without a Pooran Satguru/Shabad Guru within as a guide to the soul/jeev atma, it is impossible to reach Sach Khand, for there are creations upon creations, each more fascinating, and if there is not someone with us who has treaded that path, we are just lost in the cycle of 84.
Many many things in this thread by Amardeep maybe are out of our mental level now, but as we mature spiritually, we come to understand better all the contents, for in the end, it tells us, how to take hold on only one eternal Truth to get mukti in spite of being in this Mahabhavsagar: Satnam.
Enjoy.

Firsrtly sorry bro, I have not mentioned  Ramana Maharishi in my post above, right?
And secondly, the mind is used to be in constant noise, and its job is to stop the soul to cross from the mayavee realms, to the one of Sach-Truth, Chit- Pure Consciousness and Anand-Bliss, the plane of ultimate Truth, namely Sach Khand.
So the mind will disturb you sometimes with doubts, other times with the weapons of mighty Panj Chor....it will play all sort of tricks to knock you down, and keep your attention so much distracted and busy, that not even in dreams could one think of going back to our Nijh Ghar, Sach Khand.
Bro, our problem is that we are dumb and fools, and we think we all by ourselves can defeat the mind and reach back home.
The Bani says:
Baah pakad Gur kadeeya.
Mat koee bharam bhoolay sansaar, bin Satgur koee na utrae paar.
Bin Satgur kinay na paayo.
Bin Satgur kinay na paaya.
At each step, Gurbani stresses to get hold on to Satguru if only one wants to defeat the mind and cross the Mahabhavsagar.
Each one tries different methods/techniques and paths all by himself/herself...thinking that by doing so, as seen and hear others doing, we too fully try those things, forgetting that, the power is in the words/teachings/hands of Guru Jee, not in the manmat of the people.
People read and listen the Gurbani as parrots, without paying attention to what it is telling us to do.
The real wonderful effects of the Bani is by putting it in action to what we read or listen, not otherwise.
So, it is by taking refuge at the holy Feet of Satguru, that we get the protection,  the guidance from its Jot, and in His company not even the boss (Kaal Purukh)of the mind dares come near the jeev atma/soul, to harras or trouble it.
If for as simple as going from the UK to USA, we need a pilot and a vessel to take us, so how the hell can we think of going to Sach Khand all by ourselves.
Are we so mad, so dumb or stupid?
When even the heavenly beings, trinities, incarnations, devis, devtays are misled and trapped by the mind for not having Satguru's grace and guidance....and on the contrary we are lucky enough by being born as "sikhs" of the Guru, yet we do not at all follow what it really tells us to do, in order to get freed forever and go back to our true home in Sach Khand.
BIN NAVEY NAHIN KOU THAAO.
JIN HAR JAPEEYA SE HAR HOEEYA.
PRABH KA SIMRAN SABTEY OOCHAA.
PRABH KA SIMRAN GARB NA BASEH.
So you see, Gurbani clearly points out only the simran or jaap of Waheguru, to get freed from maya, mind and its dirt, and to regain our original purity in order to merge back into our origin, none other than Satnam.
Simran of Waheguru, has nothing to do with zaat, paat, caste, creed, gender, color, or nationality.
Simran is a universal and a natural technique, through which, the mind is cleansed, the soul gets freed from its clutches, karmas, sanskaras, and tightly grasps the hand of the Satguru/Shabad Guru within, to be guided back home in its company at all times.
Sorry, if it seems I am a bit hard, but the fact is I only care for Satguru Jee and their teachings: Gurmat, not the people, for in the indications of Gurbani/Gurmat, is the ultimate benefit of the soul, for merging in its origin, Satnam.
Stay blessed.
