vwihgurU jI kw Kwlsw! vwihgurU jI kI &iqh!! The Most Beautiful Heart One day a young man was standing in the middle of the town proclaiming that he had the most beautiful heart in the whole valley.

The young man was very proud and boasted more loudly about his beautiful heart. Suddenly, an old man appeared at the front of the crowd and said, "Why your heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine." The crowd and the young man looked at the old man's heart. It was beati…

Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! This is a small exercise which will prolly help you a lot to get up at amrit vela everyday., it will take about 5 minutes . Lie in your bed, or sit in a chair., relax by breathing deeply.. then close your eyes and try to fall asleep, go as deep as you can into unconsiousness for the next two - three minutes. Then after you have realized that your body is fully calm, relaxed; Get up from the chair/bed with a <admin-profanity filter activated> and waking yourself. Do the waking part as rapidly as possible. This exercise will give you control over the waking / sleeping states.. hope that helps. Waheguroo Jee Ka Kh…

When you are tired and discouraged from fruitless efforts.... God knows how hard you have tried. When you've cried so long and your heart is in anguish..... God has counted your tears. If you feel your life is on hold and time has passed you by.... God is waiting with you. When you are lonely and your friends are too busy even for a phone call..... God is by your side. When you think you've tried everything and don't know where to turn.... God has a solution When nothing makes sense and you are confused or frustrated..... God has the answer. If suddenly your outlook is brighter and you find traces of hope.... God has whispered to you . When things are goin…

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.
