Subject: Philosophy 101







Birth Certificate shows that we were born





A Death Certificate shows that we died

Pictures show that we lived!

Have a seat . . . Relax . . . And read this slowly.



One may Believe in...

That just because two people argue,
it doesn't mean they don't love each other.
And just because they don't argue,
it doesn't mean they do love each other.



That we don't have to change friends if
we understand that friends change.



That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt
you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.


That true friendship continues to grow, even over
the longest distance. Same goes for true love.



That you can do something in an instant
that will give you heartache for life.



That it's taking me a long time
to become the person I want to be.



That you should always leave loved ones with
loving words. It may be the last time you see them.



That you can keep going long after you think you can't.



That we are responsible for what
we do, no matter how we feel.



That either you control your attitude or it controls you.



That heroes are the people who do what has to be done
when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.



That money is a lousy way of keeping score.



That my best friend and I, can do anything, or nothing and have the best time.



That sometimes the people you expect to kick you
when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.



That sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry,
but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.



That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had
and what you've learned from them and less to do
with how many birthdays you've celebrated.



That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.

sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.


That no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.


That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are,
but, we are responsible for who we become.



That you shouldn't be so eager to find
out a secret. It could change your life Forever.



Two people can look at the exact same
thing and see something totally different.



That your life can be changed in a matter of
hours by people who don't even know you.



That even when you think you have no more to give, when
a friend cries out to you - you will find the strength to help.



That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.



That the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.




'The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
they just make the most of everything.'

The self is the deity, the self the temple,
The self is the tribe of the trackers who trample.
The self is the essence, light and the offering.
In the self are the flowers the devotees string. ||1||
In the continent of the self, I found the Treasures Nine.
No one is born, no one dies, says the God sublime.
Whatever is in the world is obtaining in self,
He who seeks, finds it himself.
Says Pipa, it is eternal truth,
Only the True Guru helps realize forsooth. ||2||3||

[/FONT] Dear Sangat Ji, [/FONT]

In Essence:. After searching many regions, in body I have found the nine treasures. With God;s grace now(for me) neither any one comes nor goes.(pause) [/FONT]
If all is Him how He can take birth and then die? All actually is His show- creating it, ending it and recreating it. This fact is made clearer in Bhagat ji’s next Vaak.[/FONT]

In Essence: The God, who is in the universe, is in the body, the one who searches Him, finds Him. Pipa humbly says that the true Guru shows Akalpurakh (within)[/FONT]
So there is no other than Him and this fact is made realized by True Guru as one sees Him within[/FONT]
He, who is in the universe, that also abides in the body and whoever seeks, he finds Him there. [/FONT]Prays Pipa, "The Lord is the supreme quintessence of all. When there is the True Guru, he revealeth His unto us".[/FONT] [/FONT][/FONT]

The one, who seeks Him, finds Him. If true Guru is met, he shows Him (within]
[/FONT]
The Shabad is about the omnipresence of Akalpurakh that permeates in His creation, and He should be searched within instead of falling fir religious-rites
