Humility is not fear of embarrassment, or lack of courage, it is rather a humble awareness of being bestowed with God consciousness or Gurmat in a world greatly bereft of the use of the basic five senses let alone a sixth extra sensory intuitive perception. As a Child knows not of the greater world beyond the threshold of its parental home thus man is not aware of his moral or life purpose. Some live happily as householders without this realisation whilst others are inspired y the flame of enlightenment creating a yearning, a calling from beyond their senses to a greater Truth and Universal Consciousness. It is a blessing than a necessity and is one member of a family, community or faith is this blessed makes richer in Wisdom the entire throng. As Nanak Sayeth as a boond'' of impurity defiles an drinking vessel, impure thoughts defile the intellect and thinking, similarly one Wise person is able to lead billions to Peace and understanding. That he world is not united is legacy of the demons and raksha’s or trolls as we know them who impede each step of progress in sulken derailing in an attempt to ensure progress to pace is hindered. There is one such person in most family’s, the antagonist who will provoke argument without closure destabilise harmony and feign indignation when cornered by transferring blame upon the victim. This occurs not only universally, but nationally, socially, in the family and in the mind.

It maps a path for spouses to win the favour of one another through a journey of mutual understanding, not by contentious demands, and creates a well balanced society where in some households men are dominant and in others women are the leading counsel on the premise that there be peace in the household and community.</span></span></span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'Baskerville Old Face'"><span style="color: #333333">Yes when faith reserves are low, </span><strong><span style="color: #365f91">na sut mit na bhai, aur Nanak sang sahai</span></strong><span style="color: #333333"> bi nahin, then one cries out in anguish, of falsehood, a false meaningless life, a false God that allows such suffering and pin and a false world of fickle people who turn on one in ones hour of need, only to hear him say ‘’Nahin to...’ and ‘erase’ the demons he has set upon me and I laugh at the foolishness of it all. SGGS is our Truth and our Guru. The intellectual relationship of mid and matter of self-awareness causing perception of our world if misaligned causes suffering and confusion. We relax, submit, supplicate the mind, he tension fades away, eases stress and find the truth we were searching in right here within and not as monumentally important as when it loomed large over our consciousness. Such is liberated life and mind, ascended above susceptibility to nuances of fluctuating climes and fair weathered friends, finds its true peace and purpose amidst the universal imagination contained within its own mind. A Mind and Consciousness under siege. Who Am I, ‘’who?1’’ the hyenas idolisers sneer snickeringly, and I laugh at the mob, a group finding their purpose in the trolls of my tormentor, and, Listen as my fellow commentators and frontline anchor men echo my sentiment and know in my nonexistence I remain, it suffices, In The WaheGuru’s consciousness awakens his portals of sense, as One. The Lord is at world with the barons of media and would not partake of anything from their cauldron and matrix of illusion. Man finds his comfort where so his mind or lack allow. Armed with {censored}nals of nuclear arms, trillion dollar surplus’ and still we find powerless ordinate men , we could not idolise or other than show a respect for authority so bereft where Gurmat and Wisdom is remiss. We would not deign to revere entertainers and amusers. The Supreme Lords battle is won, an obscure nonentity with Wisdom and Morality outshines and commands greater influence than the publicised by the same contingents orchestrating the demise of Truth is favour of manufactured lies to serve any current agenda. Wisdom and Gurmat cannot be purchased, cannot be contrived for without a moral premise and a foundation built upon Truth it is soon found to be a gilded false coin, vessels of an demagoguery drunk upon its own power. It is Our Victory, The Superstar Lord. Supernal Personages held captive in darkness, and when we look for what are Gods of Morality and Wisdom sacrificed, we laugh, ‘’who?’’ indeed. Let us shift focus from trolls to shoals of little angels lighting a candle and becoming as thus lights for the Eternally Living Immortal One. All can look to The Supreme Truth and find comfort in its each morsel, idolatry worship falls by the ignominious upon the ingratiates aggrandised. To be One with the Noble Truth of Ones Lord is the greatest accomplishment. Again my enemy has entwined his hateful bile into my truth, should I edit or post as is. Sometimes malady is remedied in the telling, exposing...</span></span></span></span></p></blockquote><p></p>

It maps a path for spouses to win the favour of one another through a journey of mutual understanding, not by contentious demands, and creates a well balanced society where in some households men are dominant and in others women are the leading counsel on the premise that there be peace in the household and community.[/FONT][COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana][/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE] [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana] [/FONT][/COLOR] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][FONT=Baskerville Old Face][COLOR=#333333]Yes when faith reserves are low, [/COLOR][B][COLOR=#365f91]na sut mit na bhai, aur Nanak sang sahai[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=#333333] bi nahin, then one cries out in anguish, of falsehood, a false meaningless life, a false God that allows such suffering and pin and a false world of fickle people who turn on one in ones hour of need, only to hear him say ‘’Nahin to...’ and ‘erase’ the demons he has set upon me and I laugh at the foolishness of it all. SGGS is our Truth and our Guru. The intellectual relationship of mid and matter of self-awareness causing perception of our world if misaligned causes suffering and confusion. We relax, submit, supplicate the mind, he tension fades away, eases stress and find the truth we were searching in right here within and not as monumentally important as when it loomed large over our consciousness. Such is liberated life and mind, ascended above susceptibility to nuances of fluctuating climes and fair weathered friends, finds its true peace and purpose amidst the universal imagination contained within its own mind. A Mind and Consciousness under siege. Who Am I, ‘’who?1’’ the hyenas idolisers sneer snickeringly, and I laugh at the mob, a group finding their purpose in the trolls of my tormentor, and, Listen as my fellow commentators and frontline anchor men echo my sentiment and know in my nonexistence I remain, it suffices, In The WaheGuru’s consciousness awakens his portals of sense, as One. The Lord is at world with the barons of media and would not partake of anything from their cauldron and matrix of illusion. Man finds his comfort where so his mind or lack allow.

Wisdom and Gurmat cannot be purchased, cannot be contrived for without a moral premise and a foundation built upon Truth it is soon found to be a gilded false coin, vessels of an demagoguery drunk upon its own power. It is Our Victory, The Superstar Lord. Supernal Personages held captive in darkness, and when we look for what are Gods of Morality and Wisdom sacrificed, we laugh, ‘’who?’’ indeed. Let us shift focus from trolls to shoals of little angels lighting a candle and becoming as thus lights for the Eternally Living Immortal One. All can look to The Supreme Truth and find comfort in its each morsel, idolatry worship falls by the ignominious upon the ingratiates aggrandised. To be One with the Noble Truth of Ones Lord is the greatest accomplishment. Again my enemy has entwined his hateful bile into my truth, should I edit or post as is.
