How do you make the number one disappear? The more it is, the less you can see. What is it? It has 4 legs, but can not walk. What can you catch but not throw? Which is the most curious letter?

NEVER BE A PRISONER OF YOUR PAST IT WAS A LESSON TO LEARN NOT A LIFE SENTENCE. DEVELOPE AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE, AND GIVE THANKS FOR EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOU KNOWING THAT EVERY STEP FORWARD IS A STEP TOWARD ACHIEVEING SOMETHING BIGGER AND BETTER THAN YOUR CURRENT SITUATION HOW MUCH TIME & ENERGY WE WASTE IN ASKING PEOPLE TO CHANGE WAITING FOR THEM TO CHANGE. UPSET, BECAUSE THEY DO NOT CHANGE? INVEST A LITTLE TIME AND ENERGY IN TEACHING YOUR OWN MIND, TO RELEASE THE EXPECTATIONS

TRUTH TRUTH IS LIKE SURGERY IT HURTS BUT IT HEALS ON THE OTHER SIDE A LIE IS LIKE A PAINKILLER IT GIVES INSTANT RELIEF BUT HAS SIDE EFFECTS FOREVER

Killer speech by Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe: "Racism will never end as long as white cars are still using black tyres. Racism will never end if people still use black to symbolise bad luck and white for peace. Racism will never end if people still wear white clothes to weddings and black clothes to funerals. Racism will never end as long as those who don't pay their bills are blacklisted not white listed. Even when playing snooker, you haven't won until you've sunk the black ball, and the white ball must remain on the table! ...... But I don't care .......... as long as I'm still using white toilet paper to wipe my black ASSS, I'm happy."

RELATIONS AND RELATIONS ... MANY RELATIONS CAN NOT BE EVALUATED IN TERMS OF MONEY OR GAINS BECAUSE SOME INVESTMENTS NEVER MAKE A PROFIT BUT STILL THEY MAKE US RICH. THAT IS WHAT YOU CALL GOD´S WILL AS MUCH AS YOU WANT TO PLAN YOUR LIFE IT HAS A WAY OF SURPRISING YOU WITH UNEXPECTED THINGS THAT WILL MAKE YOU HAPPIER THAN YOU ORIGINALLY PLANNED

It is true what you say brother, but what else can one expect from the weak moorakh mankind manmukhs . In each Ang, Sree Guru Granth Sahib tells us what type of devotion we must do, but for that no one pays attention, rather they do what they see others doing, in terms of exteriority. For example, the Bani says in Prabh ka Simran, are all fruits of any external practices, but still, hardly anyone pays attention to it and puts into practice. People still like going on pilgrimages, sacred waters, hill stations, jap, tap, pooja, patth, incense, lamps, fast recitations as if there is a speed competition. Just tell me, when one is in the company of the beloved, does one like to talk fast and finish quickly, or for example, when one goes to watch a movie in the theatre, do they play the movie so fast that instead of 90 or 120 minutes its finishes in 60 minutes, without anything being understood... If not so, then why when it comes to His devotion in doing any patth, people want to finish as soon as possible from a few hours, into even lesser time... Is it not a shameful act? Has ever Wahiguru told anybody to do patth without love or sharda, but do it as a matter of duty to shake off, or like some work in the office, or shop, or any other place we may be working. The Bani clearly says: "awar kaaj tere kitay na kaam, mil Sadh Sangat, bhaj kewal Naam". Inspite knowing this, but what do we people do usually, well we prefer to work the body with penances or hardships and austerities, inflicting torture to the body, foolishly thinking He will be pleased with these actions ... We forget, or better said, we prefer to overlook the Bani, and put our manmat into it. If only we had put into practice the precise instructions of the perfect beings, Guru Sahiban, we would not be derailed away from Sikhee. We must keep in mind, only Wahiguru and His Naam, are the permanent eternal unchangeable Truth, and as long as we do not turn our faces towards it, through the true and correct devotion, the source of all true wisdom and bliss, we shall blindly remain deeply engrossed in maya for sure, and thus in the wheel of transgrimation with our strong manmat. Poor foolish beings .... Sat Sree Akal.

Hilarious. ...... 2 tamil brahmin men get onto a bus in New York. They sit down & engage in an animated conversation. The lady sitting next 2 them ignores them at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears 1 of them say the following: "Emma cums first. Den I cum. Den two asses cum together. I cum once-a-more! 2 asses, they cum 2gether again. I cum again and pee twice. Then I cum one lasta time." The lady can't take this any more and shouts "You foul- mouthed Indian, in this country we don't speak aloud in public places about our personal lives however extraordinary they are." "Hey, coola down lady,' said the man. "I am a justa tellin' my frienda how to spell Mississippi." (I swear you're gonna read this again)

ਜੁਗੁ ਜੁਗੁ ਭਗਤ ਪਿਆਰੇ ਹਰਿ ਆਪਿ ਸਵਾਰੇ ਆਪੇ ਭਗਤੀ ਲਾਏ ॥ Jug Jug Bhagath Piaarae Har Aap Savaarae Aapae Bhagathee Laaeae || In age after age, He loves His devotees; the Lord Himself adorns them, and He Himself enjoins them to worship Him with devotion. ਗਉੜੀ (ਮਃ ੩) ਛੰਤ (੪) ੪:੩ - ਗੁਰੂ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ : ਅੰਗ ੨੪੬ ਪੰ. ੯ Raag Gauri Guru Amar Das In the verse above Guru Jee tells us that, He Himself makes us worship Him. But to worship Him for what? Is it that, that will feed His ego, if any? No, He has no ego, but just love and mercy to bless us with, if only, we turn our face towards Him focused attentively. The thing is, we think we are devoting ourselves to Him with our efforts, but the fact is, even to turn our faces towards Him, is by His unilimted grace alone, otherwise we are busily abosrbed in all sorts of outer elements/activities. Sat Sree Akal.

Just found the following Sat Bachans by Third Patshahee Dhan Dhan Guru Amar Das Maharaj, where in just one verse, He summarizes for us moorakhs, the true unchangeable eternal wisdom of Sikhee. ਨਾਨਕ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮਿ ਨਿਸਤਾਰਾ ਕੰਚਨ ਭਏ ਮਨੂਰਾ ॥੧॥ Naanak Raam Naam Nisathaaraa Kanchan Bheae Manooraa ||1|| O Nanak, through the Lord's Name, emancipation is obtained, and the slag iron is transformed into gold. ||1|| ਗਉੜੀ (ਮਃ ੩) ਛੰਤ (੪) ੧:੬ - ਗੁਰੂ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ : ਅੰਗ ੨੪੫ ਪੰ. ੧੯ Raag Gauri Guru Amar Das Here we can clearly see, that He says, do whatever yo may want to do as in terms of devotion, or countless other religious practices, but it is "only", by His Name, that the jeev atma, the soul, gets emancipation, and thus union with Him, there are no other ways, neither substitutes, nor short cuts, except His Nam. Sat Sree Akal.

Follwing is a Shabad by Panchvee Patshahee, which is related to the title of this thread, where step by step He tells us about the supreme importance on Naam for our liberation from the cycle of chaurasee for any jeev atma. Naam is the ladder, the "jahaaz", which we have to board on, if only we desire to become with Him. no other parctices, no other rituals, no other ceremonies, no other pilgrimages, no other austerities, no other devotions to gods, devis, devtays... apart from Nam Bhakti, absolutely nothing is necessary nor of any use as seen in the Shabad below, in our intention and aim of God realization ਗਉੜੀ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥ Gourree Mehalaa 5 || Gauree, Fifth Mehl: ਗਉੜੀ (ਮਃ ੫) ਗੁਰੂ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਅੰਗ ੨੪੦ ਮਿਲੁ ਮੇਰੇ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਅਪਨਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਦੇਹੁ ॥ Mil Maerae Gobindh Apanaa Naam Dhaehu || Meet me, O my Lord of the Universe. Please bless me with Your Name. ਨਾਮ ਬਿਨਾ ਧ੍ਰਿਗੁ ਧ੍ਰਿਗੁ ਅਸਨੇਹੁ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ Naam Binaa Dhhrig Dhhrig Asanaehu ||1|| Rehaao || Without the Naam, the Name of the Lord, cursed, cursed is love and intimacy. ||1||Pause|| ਨਾਮ ਬਿਨਾ ਜੋ ਪਹਿਰੈ ਖਾਇ ॥ Naam Binaa Jo Pehirai Khaae || Without the Naam, one who dresses and eats well ਜਿਉ ਕੂਕਰੁ ਜੂਠਨ ਮਹਿ ਪਾਇ ॥੧॥ Jio Kookar Joothan Mehi Paae ||1|| Is like a dog, who falls in and eats impure foods. ||1|| ਨਾਮ ਬਿਨਾ ਜੇਤਾ ਬਿਉਹਾਰੁ ॥ Naam Binaa Jaethaa Biouhaar || Without the Naam, all occupations are useless, ਜਿਉ ਮਿਰਤਕ ਮਿਥਿਆ ਸੀਗਾਰੁ ॥੨॥ Jio Mirathak Mithhiaa Seegaar ||2|| Like decorations on a dead body. ||2|| ਨਾਮੁ ਬਿਸਾਰਿ ਕਰੇ ਰਸ ਭੋਗ ॥ Naam Bisaar Karae Ras Bhog || One who forgets the Naam and indulges in pleasures, ਸੁਖੁ ਸੁਪਨੈ ਨਹੀ ਤਨ ਮਹਿ ਰੋਗ ॥੩॥ Sukh Supanai Nehee Than Mehi Rog ||3|| Shall find no peace, even in dreams; his body shall become diseased. ||3|| ਨਾਮੁ ਤਿਆਗਿ ਕਰੇ ਅਨ ਕਾਜ ॥ Naam Thiaag Karae An Kaaj || One who renounces the Naam and engages in other occupations, ਬਿਨਸਿ ਜਾਇ ਝੂਠੇ ਸਭਿ ਪਾਜ ॥੪॥ Binas Jaae Jhoothae Sabh Paaj ||4|| Shall see all of his false pretenses fall away. ||4|| ਨਾਮ ਸੰਗਿ ਮਨਿ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਨ ਲਾਵੈ ॥ Naam Sang Man Preeth N Laavai || One whose mind does not embrace love for the Naam ਕੋਟਿ ਕਰਮ ਕਰਤੋ ਨਰਕਿ ਜਾਵੈ ॥੫॥ Kott Karam Karatho Narak Jaavai ||5|| Shall go to hell, even though he may perform millions of ceremonial rituals. ||5|| ਹਰਿ ਕਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਜਿਨਿ ਮਨਿ ਨ ਆਰਾਧਾ ॥ Har Kaa Naam Jin Man N Aaraadhhaa || One whose mind does not contemplate the Name of the Lord ਚੋਰ ਕੀ ਨਿਆਈ ਜਮ ਪੁਰਿ ਬਾਧਾ ॥੬॥ Chor Kee Niaaee Jam Pur Baadhhaa ||6|| Is bound like a thief, in the City of Death. ||6|| ਲਾਖ ਅਡੰਬਰ ਬਹੁਤੁ ਬਿਸਥਾਰਾ ॥ Laakh Addanbar Bahuth Bisathhaaraa || Hundreds of thousands of ostentatious shows and great expanses ਨਾਮ ਬਿਨਾ ਝੂਠੇ ਪਾਸਾਰਾ ॥੭॥ Naam Binaa Jhoothae Paasaaraa ||7|| - without the Naam, all these displays are false. ||7|| ਹਰਿ ਕਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਸੋਈ ਜਨੁ ਲੇਇ ॥ Har Kaa Naam Soee Jan Laee || That humble being repeats the Name of the Lord, ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਜਿਸੁ ਦੇਇ ॥੮॥੧੦॥ Kar Kirapaa Naanak Jis Dhaee ||8||10|| O Nanak, whom the Lord blesses with His Mercy. ||8||10|| Just wonderful the Shabad above by Guru Jee, no comments are needed, as He has in simple words and directly made the path clear for us, of what is the state of those who do not take seriously the devotion of Nam, and as manmukhs get entangled in all other practices. Sat Sree Akal.

Sorry Guest Singh Jee, but you have not quoted my words properly, as you can see in my post quoted in black and underlined. I never say : He needs us. Rather: except our full attention. This means Wahiguru, unlike other entities who like to get worshipped with outer ingredients, instead He wants our attention, means our total focus on Him, just as lover looks helplessly to his/her beloved. For if one is attentive, if the lamp or the incense are burning and so on ... what does that mean ? Is it not that, we are not concentrated on Him? It means that we are like machines, automated, or ritualistic even. To devote oneself to Wahiguru wholeheartedly means, only He exists for that time being for us. Then also, the attention, our concentration which He expects as a father from us, is not like someone who is tyranny, or greedy to feed his ego, but rather, as said, as a protective father, who knows, that our welfare, our purity, our benefit, is only when we concentrrate on Him with full attention. This "attention", means nothing more, but that : O Sachay Patshah, You are all mercy, all forgiveness, all wisdom, and I am all moorakh, all heavy shameless sinner, and I have come to Your door, with my jholee spreaded, so that if you think fit, pour some grace of Yours, in it. If I said He needs our attention, it did not mean, He is dying for it, but rather in the context, that it is our focused attention in Him, which draws us nearer to Him, and as He loves us unconditionally, He wants our sole benefit, by then showering His grace on us. Our attention on Him, is an excuse for Him to bless us, out of His unlimited daya meher. He is the Sachay Patshah, wishing to give us paupers a penny of His Grace, if only we knock at His door. He is a generous humble giver, while we are proud egoistic beggars. Sat Sree Akal.

Overthinking : The art of creating problems that weren't even there." Maturity: is learning to walk away from people and situations that threaten your peace of mind, self-respect, values, morals or self worth. "Sometimes walking away is the only option. Not because you want to make someone miss you, or realize they took you for granted. But because you finally respect yourself enough to know that you deserve better." About expectations "When you learn to accept instead of expect, you will have fewer disappointments."

"Pause and remember" Forgiving someone does not make you a weak person. Forgiving someone does not mean you have to have that person in your life. Forgiving allows you to release the anger, resentment and hurt. Forgiveness breaks the chains to your past and sets you free." — Jenni Young "When you are unforgiving and carry animosity, you feed the very soul of conflict that keeps your pain alive. If you suffocate your heart with anger, all your dreams will die. The only way to allow your soul to freely breathe, is to forgive." — Bryant McGill "Forgive anyone who has caused you pain or harm. Keep in mind that forgiving is not for others. It is for you. Forgiving is not forgetting. It is remembering without anger. It frees up your power, heals your body, mind and spirit. Forgiveness opens up a pathway to a new place of peace where you can persist despite what has happened to you." Les Brown

5 Cancer Fighting Foods Backed By Scientific Research by Anthony Gucciardi When we talk about the idea of taking back control in your life, it is absolutely essential that we talk about one of life's most important fundamentals: your health. The truth is, you most certainly can eat your way to optimum health – and it can actually be a very enjoyable (and delicious) experience. Here's 5 cancer fighting foods that are backed by scientific research to start adding into your daily optimum health routine: 1. Tea Enjoying a cup of tea is anything but a chore, and the reality is that plant-based teas can offer some very significant anti-cancer properties. Tea contains a family of natural compounds known as flavonoids, which are the phytonutrients responsible for the beautiful colors we see in fruits and vegetables. But in addition to playing a role in the vivid colorization of produce, flavonoids are also known for their powerful antioxidant effects. In particular, a flavonoid in tea called kaempferol has been pegged to help in the fight against cancer. According to an expansive Harvard University study that studied more than 66,000 women, participants who consumed more kaempferol were found to have the lowest rates of ovarian cancer. 2. Brussels Sprouts Brussels sprouts are the new kale, with various brussels-based recipes and preparation ideas popping up on social media almost daily. This happens to be a very beneficial trend, as eating brussels sprouts and other cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, broccoli, kale, cauliflower) can be an excellent choice in the fight against cancer and your journey towards optimum health. What's interesting about the research here is that scientists were able to identify some inspiring protective properties against both prostate and colon cancers with the consumption of cruciferous vegetables, but the substances required to produce the results may only be released during the cutting or chewing of the vegetables. One study, as reported by WebMD, found that: “In mice grafted with human prostate tumors and then treated with one of these cancer-killing substances, tumors began to shrink to half their size after 31 days.“ The promising results may have to do with the enzyme phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), which is found naturally in cruciferous vegetables. Other studies have examined the antioxidant called sulforaphane, which is also released when you chew up cruciferous vegetables. 3. Turmeric If you haven't already started spicing up your meals with turmeric, now is the time to start. As a member of the ginger family, the turmeric plant has been used in both Indian cuisine and ancient schools of medicine for thousands of years. Now, quite some time later, researchers and nutritionists are finally getting excited about what turmeric can do. One such study that gained recent notoriety in the news cycle focused on the anti-inflammatory effects of curcumin (turmeric's active ingredient) on the body. Published in the Journal of Clinical & Cellular Immunology, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston found that curcumin exhibited anti-inflammatory capabilities that could help in the fight against cancer and most other disease. "Most diseases are caused by chronic inflammation that persists over long periods of time," wrote biochemist Bharat B. Aggarwal, PhD, from The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. 4. Black Raspberries Yet another great tasting option, berries have been shown to help in the fight against one of America's most deadly conditions. In particular, black raspberries may be the best bet. It has been found that black raspberries contain a significant amount of phytochemicals known as anthocyanins, which could help to halt or slow the development of premalignant cells. One professor of internal medicine at The Ohio State University College of Medicine has even authored a book titled “Berries and Cancer Prevention” which details all of the ways in which berries wage war against cancer growth. 5. Vitamin D Not a 'food' per se, but vitamin D is such a uniquely important anti-cancer agent that it is a must-have in your arsenal against cancer. The research here is pretty clear, and even the National Cancer Institute has a lengthy page dedicated to vitamin D and its effects. In research surrounding cancer cells and tumors in mice, vitamin D was discovered to potentially slow or prevent the onset of cancer, inhibit cancer cell growth, reduce tumor vessel formation, and more. Addition pieces of literature focused on the association between vitamin D levels and death rates for some cancers. Participants living in areas with a higher amount of sunlight exposure were found to have lower rates of these cancers, which researchers stated could be due to the difference in vitamin D levels. Taking control of your health is more than just important, it's essential to living the life that you deserve to create for yourself. Adding these foods and others into your daily routine can be a step in the right direction towards securing your optimum state of health.

Brother Guest Singh Jee, as I usually say, stick faithfully strong to sikhee. wahiguru is much much more important than anything anywhere. Just keep in mind, before one is born, destiny is already tailored to the milimetere. And if it is written in one´s destiny to meet someone or have a spouse, believe it, it will sure happen, though that person maybe 7 seas far away, because one has karmic accoount to settle with that person, so is the same, which applies to any of our other relations. So, relax and cool down, do not get perturbered by these thoughts. If you eever have to worry for anything at all, just keep a check on yourself, of how much do you engage in His bhakti at His Lotus Feet. Give yourself up wholeheartedly to Him, and He will look out for your needs as a true Mata/Pita. Stay blessed. Sat Sree Akal.

ENCOURAGEMENT DONT FEEL LOW WHEN SOMEONE DOUBTS YOUR CALIBER. JUST BE PROUD OF YOURSELF BECAUSE THE PEOPLE ALAWYS DOUBT THE GOLD FOR ITS PURITY NOT THE IRON.

STAYING PURE Asceticisim does not lie is ascetic robes, in a walking staff or in ashes Asceticism does not lie in the earring or in the shaven head nor does it lie in blowing a conch. Asceticism lies in staying pure amidst impurities.
