True, .. even if just 10 percent of the Guru ji Bani existed in us - in its true spirit, the world would be so much wondrous .. But the ideal world (the Gurudwara is a perfect example of the true spirit of heaven in a vague sense, to me..) and raw human nature are at conflict with each other...

Yes, heaven and hell exist. Both exist on the plane that we exist. We constantly choose between one or the other. Heaven is a state of happiness and is called "Chardi kala". But then, what is happiness really?? Happiness.It isn't always fulfillment of your goals.It isn't always acquisition of...

Prose has more or less a literal translation. Poetry, that is one of the reasons the truth was revealed thus in the Guru Granth Sahib ji by the Guru's. A profound reason that they chose poetry. So one can feel the truth. Poetry affects each soul in its own way. Some find it soothing, some find...

Why? - because you have progressed far beyond the average human spiritually. For most are ignorant and too busy enjoying their attachment to worldly pleasures to feel this way. A few feel this way sometimes but do not let the feeling linger beyond a fleeting and fleecing thought due to fear...

The kiddo - how can people cut a chicken and eat it, yucky.. she made a scornful face... She has little children, they will cry and miss their mommy. (She is not aware yet of the other meats being consumed). The surprised daddy - it's..You know like... Wrong you feel?. Kiddo - yes, remember how...

Yes, if the compulsion, searing and yearning need is love - it's the most profound reason to do so. Sublime in a true sense. But readiness must be in action and not mere lip service. I do not yet know how to exist in and yet not 'live' in - this world. In isolation and raw nature I am at...

Stand in the rain but do not get wet, - stay dry. How can anyone do that?. Those Ten across the river - do you see them ?. They are the ones who know the answer to your how. But how do I reach them?. How again she smiled - You see - they left the answers in hyms, once you let the music flood...

Could we start working out and sharing our understanding of the Bani's. Asa di Var first and slowly move on to the other gems. Not the literal line by line translation but as to how the inherent message is meant to guide us, inspire us - as we perceive the same - in a practical way that that...

To me 'sangat' is anything, everything, anyone, everyone who inspire and align you with the ' hukam'. All of Nature, the animal brethren and most of the mortal clan is sangat. Raw Nature fills one with awe and humbles one, the animal kingdom lives more or less in perfect hukam and quiet a...

I was sitting in the midst of a dense forest beside a cold stream on a moonless night.. I walked into a dream or did I walk out of a dream? " Are you willing to break free?. Have you conquered the fear of finally embracing freedom?. Are you ready to finally start undeceiving yourself? What do...

Like the reason for langar is to satiate the physical hunger in us and not make us obese and lazy. So should knowledge - no point in accumulating it unless it is actually helping us grow as a Sikh. A ship only needs a basic amount of reserve buoyancy to stay afloat. Doubling the number of...

Like being born - akin to awareness in the womb perhaps - is how I feel now. My heart stroke was the best thing that happened to me. It was like running into a sign that said - 'pull over - the road you are on is headed nowhere'. Subsequent things like losing my career were acts of kindness...

If my life were a movie it would be a comedy. The ship of my 'rehat' is beyond repair and just when I think I have at last plugged the breach of Maya in my hull, 'pop' starts another leak, lol. I seem to be repairing the breaches so often that I have no time to unfurl my sails. Drifting is more...

@JasmineLydia This was a post on another thread, posting it here as this explains in detail the answer to your query in the most comprehensive manner.. This post is by Dalvinder singh grewal ji. Quote Khande di Pahul was initiated in the times ofGuru Gobind Singhwhen the Guru established...
