[QUOTE="Luckysingh, post: 187378, member: 16886"] Understanding what sadh sangat really means is important. It's very easy to think of it as literally the 'holy company', congregation or company of true and wise..etc.. But what it truly means can be a little different for all of us ?? Different in the sense that it is the company around us that can 'Influence' us to ACT accordingly aligned with the Truth and gurmat values. The company that can bring out the best of us in terms of true Sikh values, pure and truthful values..etc. The company that can lead us to not be too attached to maya and materialistic world, to act with pure intentions without any sort of maya material gains or intentions. I find this quite interesting because I don't think I've given it much thought previously !! [B]''So jivai''[/B] means a whole new thing to me from the way I now look at it. There are a few shabads and tuks along the lines of drink the amrit essence and live forever, or forever be in bliss (amrit peevho sadha chir jeevoh) [I](I always knew that it was some what an incorrect literal translation but I could never quite nail it ![/I] [I]For eg.. not wanting to go off topic here, but I knew a patient dyeing from cancer and someone kept suggesting the shabad of ''amrit peevho sada chir jeevho'' and they kept insisting he drink the amrit from gurdwara or some where.!!! Although I knew it was incorrect translation I couldn't quite explain it even to myself!!- Now I realize that the 'LIVING" is in fact a whole new thing altogether.) see below-[/I] BUT, It makes me realize that the[I] 'jivai'[/I] or the so called [I]'Living[/I]' that we think of is the normal average Joe living a life, nice and happy and lives happily ever after with no problems of health, family, money..etc.. We become too accustomed to our lifestyles that demand these stress free joyous lives. The question is ''Am I living as per gurbani or not??'' Or am I living as per what my education, status and public standings should be entitling me for ? Sad fact is that a lot of us are not living as per Guruji's instructions. We are too absorbed in the maya surroundings and have these dictating what our ''jivai'' or living should be. I personally, have wasted much of my lifetime Living as per what I thought was living. I always said that you either 'dream your life'' OR 'live your dreams'' and I spent doing the latter for far too long. I'm getting a much better idea of HOW I should really be living as per gurbani and how and what I should be attached to and detached from in order to live or 'jivai' this life. Sikhi and Gurbani has made me discover a Whole New Way of LIVING my life and making me realize that all other forms of living are false and short lived. This 'Awake' is in contrast to being asleep. Like explained above about what 'jivai' should really be as per gurbani, it makes me realize that all other worldly forms of living are just like being asleep. In the tuk above, it mentions 'Remains awake to the lord's love, Day AND Night''-- [I]acẖuṯ abẖināsī an▫ḏin har rang jāgā.[/I] --This is telling the manmukh me, that in my life I wake in the day and sleep at night. BUT infact I am actually in Full sleep mode to the Real Life(the jivai that should be) and am constantly asleep. If I were to be awake to the Real Life as per Gurbani, Guruji's instructions, the life solely aligned with the truth, then I would be AWAKE and ALERT of the Lord and the truth (since there would be no me-ism, or you-ism) and I would be the Pure Lord inside me living that real life ALL day and ALL night ! If the company I associate with can help me in my average working day to help me live this way, then I am in the right surroundings in order to cross this world ocean. I thank SPNadminji for highlighting the very important words to think about in this shabad. And hopefully, when I see these same references in other shabads it will incline me to think about my thoughts here and apply them in that specific context. [/QUOTE]
