ਤਿਸਨਾ ਅਗਨਿ ਜਲੈ ਸੰਸਾਰਾ ॥ thisanaa agan jalai sansaaraa || The world is burning in the fire of desire, ਲੋਭੁ ਅਭਿਮਾਨੁ ਬਹੁਤੁ ਅਹੰਕਾਰਾ ॥ lobh abhimaan bahuth ahankaaraa || in greed, arrogance and excessive ego. ਮਰਿ ਮਰਿ ਜਨਮੈ ਪਤਿ ਗਵਾਏ ਅਪਣੀ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਗਵਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੩॥ mar mar janamai path gavaaeae apanee birathhaa janam gavaavaniaa ||3|| People die over and over again; they are re-born, and lose their honor. They waste away their lives in vain. ||3||

ਭਗਤ ਤੇਰੇ ਸਭਿ ਪ੍ਰਾਣਪਤਿ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਮ ਤੂੰ ਭਗਤਨ ਕਾ ਪਿਆਰਾ ॥੨॥ bhagath thaerae sabh praanapath preetham thoon bhagathan kaa piaaraa ||2|| Babaji often emphasized that everyone could get the merit equivalent to a complete reading of Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj by: 1. Completing the recitation of 50 paaths of Sukhmani Sahib; or 2. Completing the recitation of 250 paaths of Japu Ji Sahib; or 3. Completing six rosaries (108 beads) daily, for one month, of the Mool Mantra (From Ik Oangkaar To Naanak Hosee Bhee Sach) Thus, those who could not read Gurmukhi or have access to Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj, could obtain this merit. The real purpose of Baba Nand Singh Ji Maharaj was to have the Sangat get involved in recitation of Naam and Gurbani. -Dr. Hakam Singh's 'Life Stories of Great Sikh Saints'.

Here's a site for you: Baba Nand Singh Ji Maharaj

Prayers that are 'good' for us and 'others' are the ones that are usually accepted by his nature. We should really be thankful for this. It is a blessing. We believe our imagination to be true. But his nature knows what's 'actually' best for us. Sometimes, if you don't get the 'thing' you've asked for, you'll realize, in future, that yes, it was better that I didn't get that thing. It wasn't good for me at all. And no I WILL NOT ASK for anything like it again. Why should I ask for things that will last a few days/months/years? Rise to a higher level. Ask for something that lasts forever and has no end whatsoever...ask for Guru Nanak Saheb. Don't ruin your precious time asking for worldly things. You'll regret. For sure. They are not worth it. They are not worth it. Nothing can be compared to Maharaj Ji. No PERSON, no THING...nothing at all. These things will give you PAIN. You'll be STUCK in them. Unfortunately...

ਰੇ ਮਨ ਐਸੀ ਹਰਿ ਸਿਉ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਕਰਿ ਜੈਸੀ ਚਕਵੀ ਸੂਰ ॥ rae man aisee har sio preeth kar jaisee chakavee soor || O mind, love the Lord, as the chakvee duck loves the sun. ਖਿਨੁ ਪਲੁ ਨੀਦ ਨ ਸੋਵਈ ਜਾਣੈ ਦੂਰਿ ਹਜੂਰਿ ॥ khin pal needh n sovee jaanai dhoor hajoor || She does not sleep, for an instant or a moment; the sun is so far away, but she thinks that it is near. ਮਨਮੁਖਿ ਸੋਝੀ ਨਾ ਪਵੈ ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਦਾ ਹਜੂਰਿ ॥੫॥ manamukh sojhee naa pavai guramukh sadhaa hajoor ||5|| Understanding does not come to the self-willed manmukh. But to the Gurmukh, the Lord is always close. ||5|| You are right, it is more than beautiful. Chakvee, we should be. Waheguru.

I don't know about the duck you are talking about. But I really like this Chakvi Duck that Maharaj Ji talks about... ਮੋਹਿ ਮਛੁਲੀ ਤੁਮ ਨੀਰ ਤੁਝ ਬਿਨੁ ਕਿਉ ਸਰੈ ॥ mohi mashhulee thum neer thujh bin kio sarai || I am the fish, and You are the water; without You, what can I do? ਮੋਹਿ ਚਾਤ੍ਰਿਕ ਤੁਮ੍ਹ੍ਹ ਬੂੰਦ ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤਉ ਮੁਖਿ ਪਰੈ ॥ mohi chaathrik thumh boondh thripatho mukh parai || I am the rainbird, and You are the rain-drop; when it falls into my mouth, I am satisfied. ਮੁਖਿ ਪਰੈ ਹਰੈ ਪਿਆਸ ਮੇਰੀ ਜੀਅ ਹੀਆ ਪ੍ਰਾਨਪਤੇ ॥ mukh parai harai piaas maeree jeea heeaa praanapathae || When it falls into my mouth, my thirst is quenched; You are the Lord of my soul, my heart, my breath of life. ਲਾਡਿਲੇ ਲਾਡ ਲਡਾਇ ਸਭ ਮਹਿ ਮਿਲੁ ਹਮਾਰੀ ਹੋਇ ਗਤੇ ॥ laaddilae laadd laddaae sabh mehi mil hamaaree hoe gathae || Touch me, and caress me, O Lord, You are in all; let me meet You, so that I may be emancipated. ਚੀਤਿ ਚਿਤਵਉ ਮਿਟੁ ਅੰਧਾਰੇ ਜਿਉ ਆਸ ਚਕਵੀ ਦਿਨੁ ਚਰੈ ॥ cheeth chithavo mitt andhhaarae jio aas chakavee dhin charai || In my consciousness I remember You, and the darkness is dispelled, like the chakvi duck, which longs to see the dawn. ਨਾਨਕੁ ਪਇਅੰਪੈ ਪ੍ਰਿਅ ਸੰਗਿ ਮੇਲੀ ਮਛੁਲੀ ਨੀਰੁ ਨ ਵੀਸਰੈ ॥੪॥ naanak paeianpai pria sang maelee mashhulee neer n veesarai ||4|| Prays Nanak, O my Beloved, please unite me with Yourself; the fish never forgets the water. ||4||

Waheguru... Yah know...This article of yours can open some real stubborn eyes.

Harsimrat: 'I can't help it, these kiddy jokes are just so cute...' Avnit: 'I wanna hear one of your bandar jokes, pweeze...' Pretty please?!

Trying to come to the aid of his Father, who was stopped by an officer for speeding, the lil' tyke piped up,= "Yeah? Well, if we were speeding, so were you!" Cute

In Anand Sahib, Maharaj Ji says: maataa kay udar meh partipaal karay so ki-o manhu visaaree-ai. He nourished us in the mother's womb; why forget Him from the mind? manhu ki-o visaaree-ai ayvad daataa je agan meh aahaar pahuchaava-ay. Why forget from the mind such a Great Giver, who gave us sustenance in the fire of the womb? So, yes, it''ll be safe to say that your soul is present in the womb after conception. Bibi, as for Dharam Raj, don't ask so many questions about him. It shouldn't matter to you. Know that if you have gained Maharaj Ji's mercy, no Dharam Raj or Jam Dhoots can near you. No one expect for Maharaj Ji, and the souls that have become 'one' with Maharaj Ji, is free from the wheel of time. Even the Devtas are destined to 'die'. By Devtas, I mean: Shiv, Vishnu, Brahma, Indra, Narad Muni, So on... These souls wanted power, they didn't want to merge into him. They did Bhagti to attain their selfish goals. So they are still, indeed, bound by time. ਸਿਵ ਬਿਰੰਚਿ ਅਸੁਰ ਸੁਰ ਜੇਤੇ ਕਾਲ ਅਗਨਿ ਮਹਿ ਜਰਤੇ ॥ siv biranch asur sur jaethae kaal agan mehi jarathae || Shiva, Brahma, angels and demons, all burn in the fire of death.

The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray, "Take only one. God is watching." Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies. One child whispered to another, "Take all you want. God is watching the apples." A little girl was trying to raise $100 for her softball team. She prayed for two weeks but nothing happened. Then she decided to write a letter to the Lord requesting the $100. When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to the Lord, USA, they decided to send it to the President of the United States. The President was so impressed, touched, and amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little girl a $5 bill. The President thought this would appear to be a lot of money to a little girl. The little girl was delighted with the $5 and sat down to write a thank-you note to the Lord, which read: Dear Lord, Thank you very much for sending me the money. However, I noticed that for some reason you had to send it through Washington, DC and as usual, those jerks deducted $95. Love, Sara A nun asked her class to write notes to God. Here are some of the notes the children handed in: Dear God: I didn't think orange went with purple until I saw the sunset you made on Tuesday. That was cool. Dear God: Instead of letting people die and having to make new ones, why don't You just keep the ones You have? Dear God: Maybe Cain and Abel would not have killed each other so much if they had their own rooms. That's what my Mom did for me and my brother. Dear God: If You watch me in church on Sunday, I'll show You my new shoes. Dear God: I bet it is very hard for You to love all of everybody in the whole world. There are only 4 people in our family and I'm having a hard time loving all of them. Dear God: In school they told us what You do. Who does it when You're on vacation? Dear God: Are You really invisible or is it just a trick? Dear God: Is it true my father won't get in Heaven if he uses his bowling words in the house? Dear God: Did You mean for the Giraffe to look like that or was it an accident? Dear God: Who draws the lines around the countries? Dear God: I went to this wedding and they kissed right in the church. Is that okay? Dear God: Did You really mean "do unto others as they do unto you"? Because if You did, then I'm going to get my brother good. Dear God: Thank You for the baby brother, but what I prayed for was a puppy. Dear God: Please send me a pony. I never asked for anything before. You can look it up. Dear God: I want to be just like my Daddy when I get big, but not with so much hair all over. Dear God: You don't have to worry about me; I always look both ways.

Yes, I love it too. Very close to my heart. Often sing it too. I've heard 'Jagjeet Singh' singing this shabad. It's heart capturing, the way he sung it...

lolllll... Thank you.

Thanks everyone. I have had blood tests done and there is nothing missing or nothing abnormal. Hmmm...Ask your doctor if it'll be beneficial for you to take B12 supplements or multivitamins. And also, increase the intake of 'milk', if you aren't allergic to dairy products, maybe two times a day. Okay? =) I have been warned about the negative effects of medication and i will be on the lowest possible dosage. The more long term treatment will be behavioural therapy, the medication is more short term. Yes, the medication does have side effects. I'm wishing the therapy works for you. It's just very hard to have complete faith in myself. I know i shouldnt worry about the future but like i said, i just worry about myself. You do eh? =) I wonder...why that is so?

Just 33%? Seems like a calculated answer. :happy:

The local police had asked schoolchildren to make posters and bookmarks for a Don't Drink and Drive campaign. When I gave my Grade 1 class the assignment, one little girl raised her hand and said: "My mom doesn't drink and drive. She only drinks at stop signs and red lights." --Sylvia Lyon, Camrose, Alta., 2004, from Tales Out of School

Not really. It's more of a hereditary problem. Though, your depressing circumstances may have possibly contributed to the 'growth' of this disorder. Anyway, mostly the people that have this disorder lack Vitamin B12. The deficiency of Vitamin B12 leads to accumulation of the amino acid 'homocysteine', which has been linked to depression. So I suggest you get a blood test done and find out whats missing. And don't worry about this marriage stuff. Nothing much to marriage anyways. Imagination is not the truth. Nothing 'goes' according to your 'mind's' plans. If it's meant to happen. It will. Why stress over such things? What's in a marriage anyway?! Nothing. But sometimes, it's a HUKAM. You can't do anything about it. And if thats so, you'll find out. Hence Bibi, don't bother with 'future' thoughts. Live for this breath. This breath thats escaping your lips right now. 'For the rest aren't even promised'...Bibi Rena Kaur used to say this. True isn't it?

:-)

okay this is a kiddie joke...but I found it funnyy :BL: Question: Why did TIGGER look inside the toilet? Answer: Because He was looking for POOH...

lol...swine flu sure made the pigs famous... :lol:

lol HSD...thats really funny!!!

ahah bhenji, no worries... You've just created a joke ;-) ...well made me laugh!

A police officer pulls a guy over for speeding and has the following exchange: Officer: May I see your driver's license? Driver: I don't have one. I had it suspended when I got my 5th DUI. Officer: May I see the owner's card for this vehicle? Driver: It's not my car. I stole it. Officer: The car is stolen? Driver: That's right. But come to think of it, I think I saw the owner's card in the glove box when I was putting my gun in there. Officer: There's a gun in the glove box? Driver: Yes sir. That's where I put it after shot and killed the woman who owns this car and stuffed her in the trunk. Officer: There's a BODY in the TRUNK?!?!? Driver: Yes, sir. Hearing this, the officer immediately called his captain. The car was quickly surrounded by police, and the captain approached the driver to handle the tense situation: Captain: Sir, may I see your license? Driver: Sure. Here it is. It was valid. Captain: Whose car is this? Driver: It's mine, officer. Here's the owner's card. The driver owned the car. Captain: Could you slowly open your glove box so I can see if there's a gun in it? Driver: Yes, sir, but there's no gun in it. Sure enough, there was nothing in the glove box. Captain: Would you mind opening your trunk? I was told you said there's a body in it. Driver: No problem. Trunk is opened; no body. Captain: I don't understand it. The officer who stopped you said you told him you didn't have a license, stole the car, had a gun in the glovebox, and that there was a dead body in the trunk. Driver: Really? Ain't that something? And I'll bet the lying sucker told you I was speeding, too ...
