  1. I Dont Know How To Make Friends

    in GUPT FORUM

    Posted

    did bhai randhir singh ji have friends when he frist started out on the path? I'd assume yes.

    Friends can be a very calming and positive influence... I'm going to go out on a limb, but when you mention youth programs, it makes me assume you're from Ontario, Kanaydda.

    There's LOTS of bhainaan who you can talk to that are very open and loving people. In my mind, a real Gursikh is detached, but friends with everyone at the same time. The love radiating off them should be felt by everyone they pass by in the halls, on the street, wherever.

    Sometimes the best way to cultivate that love is to be around people who also are aspiring to be like that.... It's no secret that sangat is incomparably important in your life.. you BECOME what your sangat is, and not everyone has the ability to have ONLY guruji as their only sangat... for the average human being, it's very hard to associate with a non-physical being. We need companionship that can be felt at a physical/superficial level..... but it helps us grow into reaching and understanding "Guru Meray Sang Sadaa Hai Naalay"

    From all the sakhis i hear, I hear that Bhai Randhir Singh Ji had not a single enemy, and only friends. No one had anything bad ot say about him, even the oppressors... look at the above sakhi, even the jailers who kept him in captivation wanted to help him and provide him companionship.

    If you're in Ontario, i suggest you get an account on Sikhsangat (if you haven't already), and pm any one of the countless girls on this site from ontario... worst comes to worst, PM me, and I'll tell you who to pm... if they don't answer, then they're probably not the type of person you want to associate with anyways.

    Keep faith, Bhanji.

  4. A Knowledge Of The Roots

    it's too bad so many people think the word "yoga" is some sort of swear word in sikhi....

    sometimes all it takes is an effort to learn its benefits to see it parlay benefits in your everyday life... i definitely don't doubt that yoga has mental discipline benefits that keep your mind way more in check, and way more aware of your suroundings and your actions.

    Self-realization is pretty important..if you don't know who you yourself are, how are oyu feasibly going to go to your guru and say "accept me...whatever it is that i am"... it's important to understand who you are because only then can you really properly incorporate gurmat into your life in a way that really really benefits you..if you dont know who you are, what you want, where you want to be...then you will be as blind mentally as we are spiritually.

    20legend, welcome to the board :)

    i believe the point that tarunjeet singh is making is that there shouldn't be that type of relationshpi before marriage, unless you're actually at the mature and ready age for marriage...(whatever that may be...it diferes for everyone)...

  11. Ardas For Dhulla Ji

    in WHAT'S HAPPENING?

    firstly there's never a bad time to remember God by saying his name....

    secondly, saying "Vaheguru" or "Dhan Guru Nanak" or anything of that nature...it's about at least begnining ot help your mind accept it as Satguru's Will. .. Don't misunderstand it to mean that we aren't greiving for the children and for dulla ji himself, we definitely are, but, me personally, anyways, when i say "Vaheguru" after hearing this news, it was Vaheguru, please give them the strength to slowly accept Hukam. Vaheguru, please let them know that they are not greiving alone.

    That's my personal feelings, and i might be wrong.

    Waheguru, may akal purakh bless us with this treasure before he is taken to his charan for a while longer!!

    Din Ren Saas, Saas Gun Gavaa - Toronto 1998 - Neverforgetdaat!!!

    :D that brings a smile to my face

    that was my first ever raensabhayee, and up till then, i had only hear dulla veerji do keertan from tapes.

    i remember i was in the langar hall when he started, and i came in, and the place that me and my dad were sitting were filled... my dad was till there, but there wasn't much room around him..and we weer sitting right behind guru ji's hazoori... against the wall where everyone was doin the recordings... so i came in.. and there was nowhere to sit, so i think i stood up for the first half hour or so of his keertan haha... i was this totally awe-inspired 10 or 11 year old seeing my hero for the first time haha...

    i ermember when dulla veerji wanted to finish, amolak singh was playing tabla..and he reaches over and makes him sit again..and makes him do another shabad or two...

    and then when amolak singh went to do keertan, dlula veerji was playin tabla, and when amolak singh was about to finish, dulla veerji did the same thing... didn't let him get up haha..and made him do another shabad.

    that was a very magical night.

    can we please make sure there is no room for doubt when discussing matter of Dulla Ji's condition.

    It's a sensitive issue, and unlses people are 100% positive about his state, we should make sure that we don't release nwes that could affect people who have a lot of emotions divested into this situation.

    It's no secret that Dulla Veerji was, is, and probably will be for years and years to come a mentor for kids to get into sikhi and keertan.

    frankly, i think even with a gutka, do paath wherever you want, regardless of if your bibiji is lying on a bed.

    i highly doubt Guruji was so insecure about his "vaddiyayee" that he made bajurgs who might possibly have bad joints and legs sit on the ground in discomfort.. in fact, i imagine guru sahib being the first one to go grab a chair or stool for those sevaks who experience pain while sitting.

    we know that animals feel pain because of the reactions they give us.

    i remember reading a little while back that plants did in fact have nervous systems, although not nearly as complex as those of animals and humans.

    from a mailing list:

    Clearly, plants and animals have some sensory structures and nerve fibres (depending on their evolution) - but obviously clear also is that these are nowhere near that of human capacity. So clearly plants and animals require care and have rights of some extent. But lets not get carried away with some fantasy notions that science has suddenly discovered that the feelings of plants and animals are of human characteristics. They have some propensities no doubt, but not the conscious awareness of a human being or the ability to express it in their

    bodily structure

    so, assuming this is truth (because i couldn't find an official source for it), what does that suggest in terms of planteating? this paragraph suggests that plants have nerves aand nerve fibres... therefore just cuz they can't express their pain, it may not in fact mean that they dno't feel it.

    this paragarph also says that animals don't have the human ability to feel pain...i dunno bout that one!

    Divisions

    it's divided cuz we don't practise "maanas kee jaat sabhai ekai pehchaanbo"

    it's divided cuz we forget that "ek noor tay sabh jag oopjiya", and we figure we have the gyaan to decide ",kaun bhallay, kaun manday" when even Guruji never hated hindus.

    GURUJI spoke out against the ritual and idol worship

    tehse days people are very personal in their hate for hindus (And other relgions too)... people don't speak out against rituals, they label all hindus as horrilbe people... Guruji was against the practises of the Hindu people, not the Hindu people themslves.

    Sikh Bhallay, Hindu Manday?

    Alot of people i know (myself included) love asa di vaar di paath.. just love it... and theres so much prem in it.. like it's such a beautiful bani. But i know I'm like this, sometimes in reading, we skip over what the meaning is, and we jus end up hearing rhythm... or just reading words...picking up a sentence here or there..

    These actions that WE do of labelling people bad and worse...it only come back to hit us HARD in the end... HARD.

    In Asa Di Vaar, guruji gives us direct instruction on how to treat and look at people. And that above all, if we don't claim the One Lord as our own, then we're useless... so what happens when we claim that we "own" the Lord yet still go around deciding who is good., who is bad.

    There's no bones about it, Guruji tells us STRAIGHT up, "Listen to these words, understand them, this is IMPORTANT STUFF. Do not call anyone bad; read these words, and understand."

    But we don't listen.
