I know it doesn't matter, but my question is more of would this be a wrong thing to do to resurrect dinosaurs? Looking more at the moral aspect as to if this is right or wrong. I'm personally confused whether or not it'd be a good thing. I can see the pros and the cons.

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh, I feel I need a great amount of mental and spiritual strength to develop and get through the days, where I face many challenges. I'm turning to Chandi Di Vaar, having heard that this bani will provide me with that strong mentality. However, reading the translations, I do not understand it. I do not understand its meaning; I am trying to relate the battle to that of the mind and the panj chor, but I do not know if this is at all correct. Can somebody please explain to me? Can I read Chandi Di Vaar without understanding it? It feels like pakhand if I do.

From what we know about Sikh history, Dasmesh Pitah Sahib Sri Guru Gobind Singh Jee Maharaj had asked the Sikhs to assemble at the Vasakhi of 1699 with uncut beards and kesh. I have been thinking, would anyone know if someone preserved that handwritten invitation letter? Probably atleast one sidak vaali Gurmukh family must have preserved it? Right? Thank you

:..: there is a point in everyones life when they try to be spiritual. After attaining a certain minimal lvl... we hope to go out and start helping others and trying to point out whats wrong or write about others. what we fail to recognize is the simple fact that we are all talk and no action...i am srry if i just insulted anyone...i am talking about those out there taht are like me...we dont love...and those that do are way above us...bhagat kabeer ji actually wrote something pretty interesting on this topic that made me laugh. He mentioned how people are all talk and nothing else and after that babaji says what i thought was funny: "aisey lokan sio kya kahiye", what sh…

vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh ਕਬੀਰ ਐਸਾ ਕੋਈ ਨ ਜਨਮਿਓ ਅਪਨੈ ਘਰਿ ਲਾਵੈ ਆਗਿ ॥ kabeer aisaa ko-ee na janmi-o apnai ghar laavai aag. Kabeer, there is no one born, who burns his own home, ਪਾਂਚਉ ਲਰਿਕਾ ਜਾਰਿ ਕੈ ਰਹੈ ਰਾਮ ਲਿਵ ਲਾਗਿ ॥੪੨॥ paaNcha-o larikaa jaar kai rahai raam liv laag. and burning his five sons, remains lovingly attuned to the Lord. ਘਰਿ = house, ਆਗਿ = fire, ਪਾਂਚਉ ਲਰਿਕਾ = five sons (vices), ਜਾਰਿ ਕੈ = burning whom (i think), ਲਿਵ = adoration. Bhagat Kabeer Ji says that there are very few people in the world who are indifferent to worldly pleasures. The part about burning the home can either mean having no attachment to the body, or having no attachme…

There was once a man who was a devoted disciple of a holy man. He served this holy man well, after serving the holy man he would go for long walks in the beautiful countryside and he would get so much pleasure from doing so. One day after serving his master, he decided to go for a walk using a different route. While on this new route he came across a town. He thought to himself "this looks like an interesting place," he proceeded to walk through the town. As he went through this town he saw things that he had never seen before. He saw luxurious clothing and furniture, he smelt foods that he had never smelt before, he saw priceless jewelry that shone like the stars. He a…

Very nice excerpt from The Amazing Laws of Cosmic Mind Power by Joseph Murphy STEP THIS WAY FOR A HEALING 1. Man says it's impossible, but with God all things are possible. You can be healed by God, Who created you. 2. The healing principle flows through your mental patterns of thought and imagery, bringing all things you wish into manifestation. 3. If you believe something, it will be manifest -- whether or not you are consciously thinking of it. Believe only in that which heals, blesses, and inspires you. 4. Exalt the power of God in the midst of you, and you will stop the spread of any disease in your body. 5. The thankful heart is close to…

Everything has a cost. And that is good, because it enables everything to have value. You get what you pay for. And that is good, because everyone wins when value can be traded equitably. If you’re not willing to pay the price, it is not possible for you to benefit from the value. What you get with no effort or payment on your part, is not worth having. It is your participation in the creation of value that makes it valuable and meaningful to you. It is a waste of your precious life to expect something for nothing. It is the earning, not the possession, that brings fulfillment. It is what you contribute that determines your true wealth. The authentic and immensely sa…

back then was waaaay different. ppl didn’t attend higher education or have much to do after the age of like… 13, lol. you’d have 13 year olds boys and girls that know how to do kethi, cook entire meals, etc nowadays even 22 year olds are extremely immature and can be sheltered. the average person doesn’t know how to do anything except their 9-5 which they are probably half arsing as well. -
Yeah Dhadi and Kaweshria are known for joking around now and then. -
Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
