❝ No work or love will flourish out of guilt, fear, or hollowness of heart, just as no valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now. ❞ ― Alan Watts

A soulful Sufi recital by Abida Parveen. Includes Sufi Bulle Shah Couplets. Lyrics given both in Romanized Punjabi and also in English translations of the verses. In the end, the love for the Supreme Being, makes one enter in a blissful state of ecstasy, be he or she of any dharam, kaum, or mazab... Though this song is of a hindi film, what I find outstanding, is the relation of profound love between a disciple and his master... I wish we all had that depth in our love and sharda in our Guru Jee, that He came runninig to us from Sach Khand, and embrace us, just like in the song Sat Sree Akal.

Love of a child for his/her mother Mother sitting in a sad mood Child : Mom, you are the second most beautiful woman in the world. Mother: who is the first? Child: It is also you, but when you smile. Satisfaction in Life A satisfied life is better than a succesful life Because our success is measured by others But our satisfaction is measured by our own heart mind and soul.

A wonderful explanation on how to do meditation correctly. This shows, gyan is not limited to any race color or culture, it has to do more with using the correct methods in realizing the higher truths, in our case we are only interested in Wahiguru Akal Purukh; but any guidance, any help in starting and understanding our path is most welcome from anyone, we do not have to limit ourselves, we have the ability to see, select, and choose finally what we want, this is the greatness of freedom, not of extremism or fanatism.... Sat Sree Akal.

* Wah wah Sachay Patshay, Tujh bin avar na jaane mere Sahiba, gun gaava din raat nit tere . Sat Sree Akal.

Student Learns what is Greed A student asked his teacher, “What is Greed?” The teacher said, “In order to answer your question, go through the chocolate factory next to our school and pick the one chocolate you like the most. But there is a rule. As you pass through the factory, you can not turn back. You must pick the chocolate as you go forward only.” The student went to the chocolate factory. As he walked through, He saw the one chocolate wrapped nicely, he instantly liked it but he wondered that he may find much bigger one further. So, He walked further, then he saw another chocolate. But again, he thought the same. When he started to reach near the end of the factory, he couldn’t see any chocolates as big as the one he didn’t pick earlier and started to regret his decision of letting it go. Finally, he gave up. He went back to the teacher with an empty hand and gave an explanation of what he did. The teacher told him, “You did like the one chocolate very much but still you kept looking for a bigger one. And later you realized that what you let go off was the best chocolate you could find there. That my dear is called Greed.” *Moral:* _We let go of many good things in our life because of our greed of having even better things. Our Human Nature is such that we always want better and better. But in the search of better, we let go of many good things which could have given us similar satisfaction and made us happy. Learn... make your choice wisely.

Love of God One day a man asked God what is the difference between your love and our love God smiled and said a bird flying in the sky is my love and a bird in a cage is your love

Brother Misterr Singh, do not leave this forum, just because of a fool goon is playing wicked games here on this forum, it is not only you, but several are complaining about his misbehaviour here...someone called this guy a few days back "fudu fauj"..., yesterday you yourself exposed his true colors, and as usual, he himself is inviting disgrace on himself, and blackening his hard face. I invite you to stay here, you are a noble and a good person, with sense of healthy humor. Pleas stay here and keep on slapping him as many times as needed, until we drive out the egositic devil inside this chap. he pretends to be a saint, but far from it, he is not less than the worst fudu shaitaan.

Being judgemental as usual through ego, leads into failing to see goodness in others. Then why to generalize what Guru Jee told Nihala and Nivala? He answered their specific questions to them. What Guru Jee told them, was for them as new comers/starters, just to start the path of spirituality. While Bhagat Dhanna Jatt Ji, was a consumed devotee, he was a personality of a very high avastha, that is why you mention him as a great saint, so if you compare them to him, then it only shows how much clear thinking you have...or that is your ego, which makes you lack in producing and understanding Gurmat. Everybody goes to gym for weight lifting, but not everybody there lifts the same amount of weight. Why? Because, not all have started at the same time, some may have joined a week or so, still others a couple of months, still others, some years. Though all are weight lifters, but not all can lift the ame weight. All those sikhs who say they want to engage in devotion to Wahiguru, are not spiritually equal, or, we could say at the same level of consciousness, though all are devotees; that is why their thinking varies more or less, so then why so much fuss here? The thing is, one can not help being true to one´s nature, and yours is to keep poking your fingers, you have that special negative ability, be mindful, you may one day get hurt yourself with that nasty attitude, not neccesarily phisically. Though I have tried hard to understand, or find some logic in your wickedness, malice... but I am sorry to say, I fail to understand, why or how someone can be so wicked, as you are. You have a thick curtain of hatred and ego before yourself, which makes you see yourself as superior to others, that is why you are judgemental, and see stars in daylight, which means, you see negativity in others, when it is not so. Amend your ways, why be so wicked? If you can not be positive/helpful(not in your egoistic view), then keep quiet, and do not utter any nonsense, at least not here in this thread, neither in others, rather start your one of your own, and say whatever nonsense, and as much as you want there. Understood?

THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE NOT THINGS THEY ARE PEOPLE LIKE YOU Do You Know Why Love Is Blind? Love Is Blind Coz.... "Your Mom Started To Love You Before Seeing Your Face" Everyone May Not Be Good But, There's Always Something Good In Everyone Never Judge Anyone Shortly. Coz Every Saint Has A Past And Every Sinner Has A Future Always Ask God To Give You What You Deserve, Not What You Desire Coz Your Desires May Be Few, But You Deserve A Lot You Can't Tap Your Back For A Job Well Done. You Can't Hug Yourself For Comfort You Can't Cry On Your Shoulders, When Tears Fall. That's Why You Have Friends In Life, Let The Relationship Continue To Grow. True Friends Are Those You Care For, Without Hesitations, Without Limitations, Forgive Without Any Explanations, And Love Even With Little Communication.

Beautiful Thought Silence, happiness, love and blessings lead to good health. Illness is often caused when the body experiences the effect of the soul’s anger, greed, unfulfilled desires, expectations, suppression of feelings and relationships not based on true love. When we look into our hearts, we can know where our illness comes from. There are three ingredients for a long and healthy life: live with attention , awareness and without worry, use time in a worthwhile way, keep your thoughts pure, positive and filled with love. This will create good health..

TYPES OF DEVOTEES Bhai Navala and Nihala were residents of Patna. They always spoke the truth and acted in truth. They served the disciples engaged in devotion and meditation. One day they prayed to Shree Guru Har Gobind Jee, to advise them, what to do to achieve liberation. Guru Jee advised them to practice devotion to the Lord´s Name. They said some people believed that worship leads to duality. The followeres of the path of knowledge, considered themselves to be Brahm, or the supreme being. So whom should they worship? Guru Jee told them, that there were 4 types of devotees: 1) The devotees with desires. They worship the Lord and serve the saints with some specific desires in their minds. Wahiguru fulfills their desires and alo creates love for Himself in their hearts. 2) The distressed devotees. These were the persons who were suffering some physical disease or fear of the enemies. They recite the Lord´s Name to relieve themselves from these problems. Their diseases were relieved and their faith was enhanced. 3) The devoted disciples. They were known as sikhs. They considered Wahiguru as the Lord, Master, and Creator. They recite His name and are blessed with divine knowledge. 4) The devotees who know the truth. They know that Wahiguru is everywhere and in every being, as ether present in everything. When they meditate on the Lord´s Name with this conviction, their knowledge of Truth becomes firm, and they are blessed with divine knowledge. Thus, Guru Jee advised to recite the Lord´s Name,serve the saints, and remain humble, they would then be liberated. Dr G. S. Chauhan Sat Sree Akal.

Positive versus negative An elephant took a bath in a river and was walking on the road. When it neared a bridge, it saw a pig fully soaked in mud coming from the opposite direction. The elephant quietly moved to one side, allowed the dirty pig to pass and then continued its onward journey. The unclean pig later spoke to its friends in arrogance, “See how big I am; even the elephant was afraid of me and moved to one side to let me pass”. On hearing this, some elephants questioned their friend, the reason for its action. Was it out of fear? The elephant smiled and replied, “I could have easily crushed the pig under my leg, but I was clean and the pig was very unclean. By crushing it, my leg will become dirty and I wanted to avoid it. Hence, I moved aside.” This story reveals :Realized souls will avoid contact with negativity, not out of fear, but out of desire to keep away from impurity, though they are strong enough to destroy the impurity. You need not react to every opinion, every comment, or every situation. Kick the drama of the negative people, and keep going ahead ....

Waheguru meharvaan Kuch toh tune socha hoga, meree takdeer likhte hue mere WAHEGURU. Tabhee toh har baar, kismat ke band darwaze ke aage, Toon khada milta hai, mere Sachay Patshah.

I am afraid, one has to use onés heart and mind in deciding what is good for oneself, or ask opinions of others, especially matured in life, but the final decision has to be of oneself. As you asking/referring to Gurbani, to sort out your doubts on your decision for staying single or married, I would humbly say, Gurbani/Gurmat, is only for the relation of the sikh soul, with Creator Wahiguru Akal Purukh, in that sense Gurbani is complete. Guru Sahiban, come to release us from maya and matter, and reunite us with Wahiguru, that is their main purpose, and teach as to be most moral human beings, not hurting anybody for any reason, that is wickedness. For only a pure heart, can tread the path of devotion. Purity and devotion go hand by hand, because our purpose of walking on the path of Sikhee, is to merge ourselves in the most pure being : Akal Purukh., and that is possible, when we start walking from this our very present condition. What ever your choices are, just do Ardaas to Him, so that whatever karam you may have in store, you may be able to stay in His bhaana, that is important. Sat Sree Akal.

GOD'S TiMiNG After Sept. 11th attack , one company invited the remaining members of other companies who had been decimated by the attack on the Twin Towers to share their available office space. At a morning meeting, the head of security told stories of why these people were alive… and all the stories were just the 'L i T T L E' things. As you might know, the head of the company survived that day because his son started kindergarten. Another fellow was alive because it was his turn to bring donuts. One woman was late because her alarm clock didn't go off in time. One of them missed his bus. One spilled food on her clothes and had to take time to change. One's car wouldn't start. One went back to answer the telephone. One had a child that dawdled and didn't get ready as soon as he should have. One couldn't get a taxi. The one that struck me was the man who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, took the various means to get to work but before he got there, he developed a blister on his foot. He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid. That is why he is alive today. Now when I am stuck in traffic, miss an elevator, turn back to answer a ringing telephone... all the little things that annoy me. I think to myself, this is exactly where God wants me to be at this very moment... Next time your morning seems to be going wrong, the children are slow getting dressed, you can't seem to find the car keys, you hit every traffic light, don't get mad or frustrated. God is at work watching over you. May God continue to bless you with all those annoying little things and may you remember their possible purpose. Live Life Always Being Thankful

SUDDEN UNEXPECTED DEATH AT NIGHT - HOW TO AVOID IT. Warning to those who usually get up at midnight or early morning to urinate: You must take note of the "3 Half Minute Pauses". Why is it important? It will greatly reduce the risk of sudden unexpected death. We often hear stories that a person who looks very healthy, suddenly died at night. The reason is that when a person wakes up at night to go to the bathroom, it's often done hurriedly. Standing up too soon from a lying position causes lack of sufficient blood flow to the brain. That is why the "3 Half Minute Pauses" is very important. ECG pattern can change because of sudden change in body position affecting blood circulation to the brain eventually causing heart failure. You are advised to practice these: 1. When waking from sleep, lie in bed for the 1st half minute; 2. Sit in bed for the next half minute; 3. Lower your legs while sitting on the edge of the bed for the last half minute. After that series of half minute pauses, you won't likely suffer from insufficient blood circulation to your brain, reducing the possibility of sudden unexpected death

There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self. Aldous Huxley The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys, that will unlock the door to personal excellence Confucius We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies. Martin Luther King, Jr
