saakhi-- two shopkeepers

Two shopkeepers had their shops next to one another. One shopkeeper

(S1) used to close his shop early and go to see Guru Nanak Dev ji.

The other shopkeeper (S2) asked him that why you close your shop

early, S1 said he goes to see Guru Nanak Dev ji. S2 also started

closing his shop early but instead started going to a bad place.

Both kept on going to their places. One day S2 asked S1 to go home

together and agreed upon a place to meet after visiting their

places, so that they can go to their houses together. S2 came to

meeting place early because the door was locked at a place where he

used to go. He found golden ring there by digging through pile of

ashes. He was happy. S1 was on his way to a meeting place and thorn

(kanda) hit his foot. So he was in pain and came to a meeting place

limping. S2 told S1 that he used to go to a bad place and found a

golden ring but you used to go to a good place and are in pain. S1

told S2 there may be something behind this and asked S2 to go to see

Guru Nanak Dev Ji next day. Both asked Guru Ji why it happened like

this. Guru ji asked " Do you know what you did in the past life?"

Both said no. Guru you told S2, you donated many golden rings in the

past life and every day you used to go to bad place, the golden ring

turned into ashes. One golden ring is left because you could not go

to bad place on the last day. Guru Ji told S1, you were supposed to

be hanged but because you started coming to our place, hanging has

changed to pain of a thorn.

LESSON LEARNT:

Dukh and Sukh in our present life are the result of deeds done in

the previous lives. Gurbani says"Dukh sukh purab janam ka kiye". We

can reduce the pains and sufferings of this life by devoting time

toward WaheGuru (Naam Japna, Paath, Keertan etc.). This will

neutralize the effects of bad deeds done in the previous lives. My

advice is to devote at least 2.5 hours daily for WaheGuru. Repeating

WaheGuru WaheGuru ..... WaheGuru is the most powerful way especially

at Amrit vela (3 hours before sun rise). Keep doing that everyday

without any break, not only your this life will be better but you

will reap the benefits after this life also.

waheguru ji ka khalsa

waheguru ji ki fateh

Guru Arjun Dev ji writes lovingly'

M:5 (Raag Gujree)

Nanak Satgur bhayte-ai, Nanak says, upon meeting the SatGuru

Pooree hovai jugat.(1) The Perfect Union occurs.

Hasande-aan, LAUGHING,

Khaylande-aan PLAYING,

Paenande-aan, DRESSING,

Khavande-aan, EATING,

Vichay hovai mukat. (2) within these one is liberated.

Guru Nanak Ji's path is RAJ JOG. Living with Raj (luxuries of kings) we obtain JOG Union).

It is important, very important, to laugh, eat well, dress well and

be playful. We are children of Waheguru ji, Waheguru ji has freed

us of mental and physical chains. We are free to play and laugh,

free eat and dress like Kings. Our God is Wonderful, our SatGuru is

always with us....why should we worry and be stressed, why should we

care if the world does all the sins we avoid...let them reap their

rewards for we are too busy being free like children in Satguru

Nanak ji's garden. With smiles on our faces, love in our heart and

a wondrous feeling inside us as we marvel at the sinners and saints

God has created.

V have sadly seen people enter Sikhi because they were depressed, negative and living in the hell of their own mind from which they. wanted to escape. But having entered Sikhi, they tortured themsleves believing more pain is the way to please God. They had freezing cold baths even when they were sick, they thought it was better to hardly eat and hardly sleep because Guru ji said 'eat little, sleep little' (but Guru ji didnt say 'under eat and under sleep'). They were obsessed with cleanliness that before and after eating they would basically wash and clean every nook and crany of their kitchen.

They didnt laugh, everything was serious. They were so worried about committing even the tiniest 'sin'. They didnt bother taking care of their appearance. And to top it all, they couldnt stand anyone who wasn't following Sikhi as they understood it. Criticise, criticise, criticise! No happiness, no enjoyment of

love, no life at all.

In the end, how much pressure can the human mind take? Every new

rehat (discipline) we start is like placing a brick on our head

until we get used to it. These people picked up so many rehats all

at once that they were carrying a wall on their had. What

happened?

...they got mentally depressed...

...they cut their hair and went back to their old ways...

Dhan (Great) is the person who makes others

laugh,

Dhan is the person who dresses well like the royal child of Guru

Gobind Singh ji and inspires others,

Dhan is the person who has a playful nature,

Dhan is the person who eats and sleeps to keep their body healthy.

And most of all , Dhan Dhan Dhan is the person who doing all these

is detached from it and never forgets Waheguru for even a blinkof aneye.

" DHAN DHAN GUR NANAK JAN KERA

JIT MELIYEA CHUKE SAB SOKH SANTAPE"

guru fateh to all,

Even if there is God why should people worship Him?

We do not bribe or oblige God when we worship Him. If a person is swimming in a pool, he does not oblige the water or the pool; he is enjoying himself. To worship God is to revel in His virtues and to be benefited by them. We do not worship God to benefit Him. He does not need anything from us, not even His worship. We do it for our own benefit. The sun does not benefit if we sit in the sun and enjoy its warmth. When we worship God, we sit in the "sunshine" of His virtues to benefit from them and not to please Him.

The example of a good social act can also help us to understand. A student gets training from a teacher, becomes a professional and gets a good job. Being happy with the job, he brings a gift to the teacher and expresses thanks to him for his help and guidance. Offering a gift to the teacher is not giving a charity or any donation to him. This act only expresses the feelings of happiness and also the gratitude of the trainee to his teacher. Waheguru is a great Teacher. When we offer money or we bow our head to the Guru Granth Sahib, which describes the virtues of Waheguru to us, we express our gratitude and thanks to Waheguru; we do not oblige Him. It is wrong to think that we can give anything to Waheguru. We are always receiving unlimited favours from Him. As custodians of His gifts we only handle them (share them with others), we do not create them or give them to anyone else.

Worship of Waheguru means to love Waheguru, to love His virtues and to love truth. The purpose is that these good qualities and virtues become a part of our life. These virtues will keep us happy and blessed with favours of Waheguru.

dhan dhan sri guru granth sahib ji.

A Gurmukh pyari-o said 'by thinking wrong thoughts people make

themselves ill, they make themselves depressed with their

negativity'.

In one respect, there is little difference between a GurMukh and a

ManMukh. Both are attacked by the 5 enemies, both have suffered

traumatic situations, both recall happy times and sad times in their

minds.

The difference is the way they deal with the attack. The ManMukh,

the untrained warrior, has no idea that the thought that has come

into their mind is an enemy. The grab hold of it, think about it and

jumping into the carriage they ride the Train of Thought to its

bitter end.

My friend at Uni loved listening to depressing songs, he said it

made it feel sad and he liked

that!!!

Mention money and relatives and unreturned loans, and this other

person i know will jump on the train of thought and ride all the way

to the point where they are as mad as hell at the injustice of it

all!.

Another person says some people live their life, but i am enduring

it. I guess cause of my sins I was born to suffer...all I think

about is running away, running away, running away is the only words

in my mind day and night. One bad thought comes along and these

people jump onto it and ride it to the bitter end, depressing the

hell out of themselves.

So how does the GurMukh deal with it? Firstly, the Gurmukh has

ridden this train many times in the past. BUT HE KNOWS WHERE IT

ENDS UP SO HE DOESNT RIDE IT AGAIN. As soon as the negative thought

comes he doesnt cling on to it, he watches it...calls out its

name ...YOU'RE ANGER...yes I've seen you before..you can go because

i havent got time for you ...only time for Waheguru Waheguru.

The Gurmukh has had bad experiences and when something triggers off

the memory, she doesnt wallow in it like a pig rolling in the mud,

she puts her foot down and says 'I REFUSE TO FOLLOW THIS TRAIN OF

THOUGHT' and she does Waheguru Waheguru.

Ultimately, each little battle that is won leads to winning the war,

these thoughts dont come back very often..they know they've got no

chance..plus there's no room for them because Waheguru Waheguru

occupies the mind.

No-one else can fight your internal battles, no matter how hard the

time you are going through is...ONLY YOU AND GURU CAN FIGHT IT...but

you have to FIGHT. Your hard time is not worse than Guru Arjun Dev

ji sitting on the hot plate, and he said 'Your Will is Sweet, I beg

for your Name'... so dont lose faith in God for giving you Dukh.

You are drowining in the ocean of fire : Desire, and only by

holding onto SatGuru ji will you escape...Naam is your Support,

without it you will drown.

Waheguru ji ka Khalsa

Waheguru ji ki Fateh

Abandon me not

Unfathomable incomparable ONE

As i listen to Thy praise being sung

A piercing arrow strikes deep in my heart

Intensely wounding its most hidden part

Unbidden tears well up spilling and seep

Expressing suppressed emotion and weep

Salty declarations staking their claim

Tongue unrepentant for taking Your name

How much anguish nay how great a despair

Sorrow laden is one able to bear

Be sure this life is the ultimate test

Enduring forbearance in cruel jest

Of separation as oneness is wrought

One instance brilliance then lovers are naught

ssa to all sangat here,

Funny how…….

Funny how £10 looks so big when we take it to the Gurduara, but so

small when we take it to the shop.

Funny how long 1 hour is when we are serving in the Gurduara,but how

short when watching TV.

Funny how laborious it is to read a page of SRI GURU GRANT SAHIB JEE,

but how easy to read 200 pages of a best selling novel.

Funny how we believe what the newspaper says,but question what SRI

GURU GRANTH JEE says.

Funny how we need 2 or 3 weeks to fit a Gurduara programme into our

schedule,but have no problem adjusting for a social event at the last

minute.

Funny how we get thrilled when a football game goes into extra

time,but are irritated when a Gurduara programme is longer than usual.

Funny how we scramble to get a front row seat at a sporting event,

but scramble to get to the back row at the Gurduara.

Funny how difficult it is to share the God's word with others, but

how simple it is to spread rumors.

Funny how everyone wants to go to heaven,provided they don't have to

believe or do anything.

Funny,isn't it? Or is it funny at all.

********tnks to simar for sending me.***********

wjkk wjkf ji.

nice to hav u here on board.

woooooooooooow,

nice appearance of sardar. he is caring. i think this will help in building good sikh image. tnks for posting.

yes bhaji,

i m agree with u. i hav seen so many fake sants doing katha. in whole of their katha, they will say only in ashtpadi of sukhmani sahib

which describes abt. true sants. but they people use it for their self

"saant ke dukhan aarja ghaate

saant ke dookhan jaam te nahi chute"

& much more. as guru arjan dev ji here saying for a true saint. but these faki saints for their own praise in sangat.

the result v see that there will be more sangats in baba/sints room than in sangat.

bhul chuk di khema.

guru fateh ji,

dear sewak ji i just want 2 know that is their any benefit doing paath without concentration ? as u told to do paath, rest 'ill come ill come by itself , howcome?

fateh.

guru fateh ji,

i think, wat so ever difficulties v r facing abt sikhism is wholey ur politicians. daily v r reading in newspaper that jathedars have done this & this. this whole effects our religion. today our politicians need only seat but not religion.

members of shiromani comittee in gurd parbhandak comitee r giving away alcolhal, cash money just for the sake of their seats.

so 1st v have to change whole parbhandaks.

fateh.

guru fateh,

my goal is to do paaths & to follow guru's teachings. i wana do sewa of sikh religion.

" aap japo awre naam japavo".

& to do ardas for whole world

"nanak naam chardikala tere bhane sarbat da bhala"
