[QUOTE="Astroboy, post: 58728, member: 4990"] Would it make any difference if you lived 10 years or 85 ? A dog's age is one 7th of human's, yet it has all the time to be better and loving creature. So what does one live for ? What is the purpose of your life ? Who do you live for and what are your reasons? I'm not saying living is bad. Go ahead and continue living your life for the next 20 years. And if those 20 years have passed and now we're talking, so what have you achieved in those 20 years. Eaten alot of deg. Done alot of paath yet don't have any clue why!!! Did this and that meditation, yoga, "satsangs", radhasoami, eckankar, prem rawat, ruhani satsang, sufism, white magic, palmistry, numerology, tarot, i-ching, taoism, buddhism, vedanta, rehan sebai, etc. ...... why then that dissatisfaction ? Where should one's dhyana be ? What is simran, sadhana, bhagti, sewa ? Why follow Guru ? One can do anything in this world but that dissatisfaction will always remain. Even those who think they hear the anhad shabad are also not satisfied. So where is satisfaction ? Alcohol ? Tobacco ? Drugs ? Let me tell you a story, There was a King who got every wise man in his territory to visit him. Like you/me, the King wanted the 'real' gyan. He asked every wise man to give him gyan but he had a condition. He said, I want you to give me the Gyan within a very short time limit - from the time I hold on to the reins of my horse till I mount the horse. Obviously, no one could do that. As the years passed, the King became even more dissatisfied with the rituals of daily living and his 'thirst' grew to an uncontrollable point. He ordered all his aides to seek high and low for someone who has real gyan and can live up to his time-limit conditions because he did not want to be bored with lectures. One of his servants finally had the courage to tell the King about a man who had a hunch-back, who lives all by himself and didn't mix with anyone. As he described to the King, the King ordered him to bring the hunch-back man before him. The King in total humility and desperation asked the hunch back to give him Gyan with the mentioned condition. The man said OK. When the horse was brought before the King, the man spoke up - he told the King, you laid the condition to get the gyan similarly in all fairness, I have a condition as well. The King asked what is the condition ? He said, give your MIND to me. The King said OK. So both were ready for the final show to begin. The King then held the reins of the horse and put one foot on the saddle. The hunch back voiced out again, he said - "Your Majesty, you cannot mount the horse, since you have given your MIND to me, you must obey me". In that very instance, the King was shocked but at the same time received his real Gyan. Now let's go back to the pictures: You might have a dream about these pictures tonight. Sweet dreams. The Emperor Akbar paying homeage to Guru Amar Das Ji [IMG]http://www.allaboutsikhs.com/youth/images/blank.gif[/IMG][IMG]http://www.allaboutsikhs.com/youth/images/blank.gif[/IMG] [CENTER][IMG]http://www.allaboutsikhs.com/youth/images/pic64.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] The Emperor Akbar paying homeage to Guru Amar Das Ji at Goindwal. Emperor Akbar had great reverence for the House of Guru Nanak. He honoured saints of all religions and apid his respects while touring his empire. In 1567 he visited Lahore where he met Guru Amar Das Ji. On being informed that no one could see the Guru without first partaking food in the Langur, Akbar who respected all religions welcomed the idea. the Emperor sat in a row on the floor with ordinary folk of humble origin and ate Langur.
