[QUOTE="khalsasikhi, post: 180971, member: 19238"] Blog post from: [url]http://conversationsfromasikh.blogspot.co.uk/[/url] The Guru Ji invites us to play the Game of Love. What if we really looked at this as a game? Sometimes Sikhi can seem so scary and intimidating, but looking at it as a game can change our perception. Perhaps by seeing this as a game in the traditional sense, we can see it as an exciting challenge, or a way of being truly rewarded for doing good deeds and keeping Guru Ji close to you. Metaphors can be powerful and you just need to find one that works for you. There are infinite possibilities; get creative and have fun with it. Sometimes I imagine my good and bad deeds as a bank account. Right now I’m overdrawn by a lot, and this is gauged purely by feeling, and hopefully I’ll know or feel when I’m close to building credit in my account – make real progress towards Waheguru. Right now I’m imagining Waheguru as my close friend who I have been separated from for so long. Close your eyes and picture your closest friend and think for a moment that you have been separated from them for many lifetimes and that they have been waiting for your return – urging you to come back. What does that feel like? Apply these emotions to Waheguru and believe this to be true. The love Waheguru has for you is immeasurable and the more you journey down this path of discovery the more you’ll feel it. It’s strange this feels more like a diary entry than a blog post.
