SORAT'H, FIFTH MEHL: The Guru's feet abide within my heart; God has blessed me with good fortune. The Perfect Transcendent Lord became merciful to me, and I found the treasure of the Naam within my mind. || 1 || My Guru is my Saving Grace, my only best friend. Over and over again, He blesses me with double, even four-fold, greatness. || 1 || Pause || God saves all beings and creatures, giving them the Blessed Vision of His Darshan. Wondrous is the glorious greatness of the Perfect Guru; Nanak is forever a sacrifice to Him. || 2 || 9 || 37 || Thursday, 10 Poh(Samvat 536 Nanakshahi) (ang: 618)

vwihgurU jI kw Kwlsw! vwihgurU jI kI &iqh!! TILANG, FIRST MEHL: As the Word of the Forgiving Lord comes to me, so do I express it, O Lalo. Bringing the marriage party of sin, Babar has invaded from Kaabul, demanding our land as his wedding gift, O Lalo. Modesty and righteousness both have vanished, and falsehood struts around like a leader, O Lalo. The Qazis and the Brahmins have lost their roles, and Satan now conducts the marriage rites, O Lalo. The Muslim women read the Koran, and in their misery, they call upon God, O Lalo. The Hindu women of high social status, and others of lowly status as well, are put into the same category, O Lalo. The wedding songs of murder are sung, O Nanak, and blood is sprinkled instead of saffron, O Lalo. || 1 || Nanak sings the Glorious Praises of the Lord and Master in the city of corpses, and voices this account. The One who created, and attached the mortals to pleasures, sits alone, and watches this. The Lord and Master is True, and True is His justice. H! e issues His Commands according to His judgement. The body-fabric will be torn apart into shreds, and then India will remember these words. Coming in seventy-eight (1521 A.D.), they will depart in ninety-seven (1540 A.D.), and then another disciple of man will rise up. Nanak speaks the Word of Truth; he proclaims the Truth at this, the right time. || 2 || 3 || 5 || Thursday, 3 Poh (Samvat 536 Nanakshahi) (ang: 722)

vwihgurU jI kw Kwlsw! vwihgurU jI kI &iqh!! i totally agree, while discussion is good sometimes things just get outta control and we just start arguing....nothing gets resolved ! i think its best to just ask Guru Ji aswell, Guru Ji gives the best answers and its more personal aswell cos Guru Ji nos exactly what we're feeling.......just my view bhull chukk muaff vwihgurU jI kw Kwlsw! vwihgurU jI kI &iqh!!

vwihgurU jI kw Kwlsw! vwihgurU jI kI &iqh!! Well i was at Gurudwara listening to someone tell this sakhi of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, i dnt no wer you can find it written, maybe the sangat could help find it ??? nway it gos lik dis, basically Guru Nanak Dev Ji and Mardana where walking and praising Vaheguru, they were walking past these houses in which they could see people dong wrongfull acts. Guru Nanak Dev Ji would just walk past these people, Mardana got angry, he sed to Guru Nanak Dev Ji that why are you walking past these people lets go and save them. Guru Nanak Dev Ji replied to just leve them it is not their time to be saved yet. Now to me this meets with your Q in regard to the fact that your teacher is not amritdhari, If amrit is the only way then maybe it is not her time to be saved yet, or maybe she will become Amritdhari later in life - who nos gods will bhull chuk muaff vwihgurU jI kw Kwlsw! vwihgurU jI kI &iqh!!

Need Or Greed? Dhan Guru Arjun Dev jee (meditating upon whom will release one from cycle of births and deaths - japio jin arjun dev guroo fer sankat jon garab na aa-i-o), says 'Jo Mangeh Takur apany tey so-ee Soee devay' 'whatever is asked from the Master that is exactly what is given'. In Hibernia Road Gurudwara they have this in big letters across the entrance to the Darbar. I used to think this meant whatever you asked for in Ardas is what you'll get, but all ardas's don't come true do they? So what does it mean? The answer clicked when my dad was watching a nature program, some creatures have evolved to leave in extreme heat or extreme cold etc, and my dad said 'Jo mangeh Takur apaney tey soee soee devay'. Even the animals have an ardas inside to survive wherever they are and over time their ardas comes true. Even plants have an ardas to have the sun on their leaves, so plants on my windowsill start leaning towards the window. Takur answers all true internal ardas of all His creatures and plants. So people may ask why didn't my Takur answer my ardas? I was standing up with palms pressed together at the Gurdwara after having done Akahnd Paat seva and donating lots of money?? That ardas was lip service - it was ardas for greed not need. Like when people do nitnem, but they don't understand and inside they really want to be out and about perhaps boyfriend and girlfriends. Then their internal ardas is heard not their lip service. Good or bad, whatever your real daily internal ardas is, will be heard and answered over time. When someone does paat with concentration and love and their internal ardas is the same as Guru jees words, then the supreme gifts will be delivered over time. And God keeps giving us gifts all the time, `dida dey laday thak pai juga jugantar kahee kahi' (JapJi Sahib). He provides without ever getting tired but we the askers get tired of asking! The provider provides all the wishes.... the requester asks for all. There is nothing wrong with asking for things because we always need things but unfortuantely we are greedy, so we need to become content. In ardas thank God. Accept pain and sorrow as sweet rather than complaining about things that went badly or Ardas's that didn't come true - everything is for the best: Ketia Dukh bhukh sad mar Eh bee daat teree datar Countless Pains and Hungers continually strike O Giver-Lord, even these are your gifts,. (JapJee Sahib) In ardas accept God's will and ask for the supreme gift of Naam and God's Praises. SatGuru Arjun Dev jee on the hot plate lived upto the true words: Tera Keeta Meeta Lagay, Har Nam Padarth Nanak Mangay Your Will is sweet, SatGuru Nanak jee asks for the gift of Naam' 'Manganay mangan neeka , Har jas gur te manganay' 'Of all the Askings, the Asking supreme is to ask the Guru for the praises of God But God's Name and Praises can only be done if the basic needs are satisfied. Most of the Bhagats were so poor that Bhagat Kabeer jee said to Waheguru ji, without food and shelter I can't sing your praises Having a hungry stomach how can I devote myself to You? Take away Your rosary. (Bhagat Kabir ji, Sorath Raag) Waheguru jee provides. Asking for house or car or a wife etc is not wrong, but why do people ask? What is the motive? Is it going to get them closer to God? Bhagat Kabeer jee asked for these things so he'd get closer to God, most people ask for these things because of selfish motives (status, to fulfill one of the 5 thieving desires). But then again Guru Arjun Dev jee has said use Waheguru jee for your own advantage. It's good people do paat and ardas and seva of langar and Akhand Paat for their own advantage because bit by bit they might get to the state where they start asking for the gift of Naam and God's praises and that will truly give them the Supreme advantage.

Where does it say that??? It seems very lovey-dovey to believe that all paths are great and lead to God, but it's patently FALSE. I've already given shabads from baNee that say that not all paths lead to Vahiguru, where are the lines that say they do?

vwihgurU jI kw Kwlsw! vwihgurU jI kI &iqh!! I am sorry Pheena Veer Ji for mistaking you as a bhen ji, i am deeply sorry if i upset you in any way and I ask for your forgivness. Also, i am sorry if you misinterpreted my post as bashing other religions, this was not my intention and nor my beliefs. Mahraj Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji says that all religions if followed properly are a way 2 Vaheguru, I do not believe that sikhi is superior to other religions..and im sorry if i gave you that impression, All i was trying to say is that Gurbani - Sikhi is straight from Vaheguru...so why follow what others are saying. As for the Mohamed and the Jesus statement, the Gurbani about the followers of the koran and bible stood at Vaheguru's gate, did they (jesus and mohamed) not follow their own teachings?? i.e the bible and the koran, therefore making them followers of the bible and the koran? Additionally i did not say that standing at Vaheguru's gates is a little thing...i am sorry if i gave you that impression. Also, the thing you say about experience at the end of your post............If it is in Gurbani i do not need to experience it, i have my full faith in Guru Ji - Gurbani for me is the truth so if Guru Ji says it i believe it i do not need to experience to believe it. vwihgurU jI kw Kwlsw! vwihgurU jI kI &iqh!! bhull chuk muaff

vwihgurU jI kw Kwlsw! vwihgurU jI kI &iqh!! you say u can't picture yourself being a sikh cos u trim your beard etc. do u rely want to be a sikh? do you really want 2 reach god? because if you do, if u rely want it then all u have to do is ask Guru Ji and then just leve it with Guru Ji as Guru Ji will show you the way, u will automatically not want to trim your beard and Maharaj will show you how to do paart and simran etc. You can't say it's not for you if you havn't tried. Also, from what i've been told is that sikhi is the 'straight' path to god, For example if you follow sikhi you are walking the path straight to Vaheguru, whereas if you follow, say christianity you are asking Jesus to look after you, and he will, but he only has the power to do so for a little while after which you will be sent back down. Prophets like Jesus and Mohamed etc are all asking Vaheguru to let them into sach khand, they all pray to Vaheguru anyway so wts the point in following a different religion why not ask the Creator himslef to let you into sach khand. see being born into a sikh family as a blessing, Maharaj has blessed you alredy. bhull chukk muaff vwihgurU jI kw Kwlsw! vwihgurU jI kI &iqh!!
