[QUOTE="Astroboy, post: 57136, member: 4990"] One has to experience the [U]presence[/U] in one's life. Not just quoting Gurbani and then explaining that it is a metaphor. "Hath De Rakhe Apney Ko, Saas saas pritpalay." The idea that we meet here is to exchange similarities and motivate each other to be better people. Take this story as your guiding light for today: [LEFT][FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3]After traveling for many years and showing the people of the world the path to God, Guru Nanak Dev Ji came to a land near the banks of the Ravi River. This Land belonged to a wealthy man named Krori Mal who donated this entire land to Guru Nanak Dev Ji. The land was renamed to Kartarpur. Guru Nanak Dev Ji spent the later years of his life here in Kartarpur along with Bhai Lehna Ji. One afternoon, while staying in Kartarpur, Bhai Lehna Ji was giving Guru Nanak Dev Ji a massage. What did Bhai Lehna Ji see?[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3]When he first started the massage Guru Nanak Sahib Ji was fine.
