I do not possess greater knowledge, but the simple knowledge tells me, it is like a a municipality mayor talking of his "authority" to a common person...but that does make him an Emperor(Kul Malik Wahiguru), from Whom, he derives all his temporal authority. Sat Sree Akal.

KEEP ME IN YOUR PRAYERS - Actual meaning Since we always say "Keep me in your prayers" to each other, I thought of sharing a small story about the actual meaning of these 5 words. Just go on and read it and I am sure you will start thinking the way I am after reading this story. A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men on it were able to swim to a small, desert-like island. The two survivors, not knowing what else to do, agreed that they had no other recourse but to pray to God. However, to find out whose prayer was more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island. The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the land, and he was able to eat its fruit. The other man's parcel of land remained barren. After a week, the first man was lonely and he decided to pray for a wife. The next day, there was a woman who swam to his side of the land. On the other side of the island, there was nothing. Soon the first man prayed for a house, clothes and more food. The next day, like magic, all of these were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing. Finally, the first man prayed for a ship, so that he and his wife could leave the island. In the morning, he found a ship docked at his side of the island. The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island. He considered the other man unworthy to receive God's blessings, since none of his prayers had been answered. As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from heaven booming, "Why are you leaving your companion on the island?" "My blessings are mine alone, since I was the one who prayed for them, "the first man answered, "His prayers were all unanswered and so he does not deserve anything". "You are mistaken! "the voice rebuked him. "He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings." "Tell me", the first man asked the voice, "what did he pray for that I should owe him anything?" "He prayed that all your prayers be answered." For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone, but also those of others praying for us. My prayer for you today is that all your prayers are answered. Be blessed. "What you do for others is more important than what you do for yourself". Sat Sree Akal.

Being human we are human,we are not perfect we are alive, we try things we make mistakes, we stumble we fall, we get hurt we rise again, we try again we keep learning, we keep growing, but nevertheless, we are thankful for this priceless opportunity, called life.

HURTING SOMEONE Hurting someone can be as easy like throwing a stone into the sea, But do you have an idea, how deep can that stone go?

Being Natural Flowers blossom even in the forest, where there is nobody to admire their beauty. Let us be good and do good, even when nobody appreciates us.

Something on USA elections Barack Obama and Donald Trump somehow eded up at the same barber shop. As they sat there, each being worked by a different barber, not a word was spoken. The barbers were even afarid to start a conversation, for fear it would turn to politics. As the barbers finished the shaves, the one who had Trump on his chair, reached for the aftershave. Trump was quick to stop him, saying : No thanks, my wife will smell that, and think I have been in a whorehouse. The second barber turned to Obama and said, how about you? Go ahead, my wife does not know what the inside of a whorehouse smells like.

If woman was bad, why would God have created her? Secondly, it is through woman we come into this world, and have the blessings of being born as humans, from their womb, to do His bhakti and achieve the goal of our lives. Thirdly, we men are mostly beasts compared to them, we have caused more pain and sufferings then them, throughout the history. Nobody is perfect, the mind in us, is also very much present in them also. If they have hypothetically got spoilt, it is because we have spoiled them, they have aquired all our bad qualities, but even then, they are far better than us, as human beings, now if we look them otherwise, it is due to our faulty outlook, distorted vison. Women are not bad or wrong, it is our vision which is faulty .... Sat Sree Akal.

Brother, I totally agree with what you have said, but I think I made it clear in my post, when I said, we have right to defend ourselves if attacked, or if someone is ill treated, even then we should take part in it. What does violence mean? Violence means unrighteousness, means causing pain to others, whether it is verbal of physical. Violence does not mean, not defending oneself if the need arises to beat the other one. You see, one thing is to beat someone for fun, or for any other reason, and other thing thing is, to beat someone in defending oneself , agreed as you have said in those required scenarios, and believe me, if that ocassion arises, I can go to the extent, that the other one will think twice next time in troubling someone just like that, cause he will have to lie down flat on bed for a couple of months...

What controls our mood, and how to control our mood...

HAPPINESS * Happiness is not based on achievement. It is not the destination, it is on the journey. * Happiness is a state of being, created while working towards the goal, not a feeling to be experienced after achieving the goal. * Obstacles on the journey are obstructions in our achievements, not obstructions in our happiness. * If we believe happiness is at the destination, then we will experience fear and anxiety if there is any obstacle or delay on the journey. Our every thought, word and action is OUR creation. Situations come to us from outside, but our responses are completely OUR choice. We have doctors , psychiatrists, spiritual masters, family and friends . in short we have all sets of healers outside yet we are not healed inside. The creator of pain is inside, and the healer is also within. And healer inside each of us is the perfect healer for ourselves . Meditation is a method of relaxing, refreshing and recharging the mind. lt helps you look inside to rediscover and reconnect with your original, spiritual essence and restore a healthy balance between your inner and outer worlds. Knowing God, Relationship with God, Law of Karma, Cycle of Time and Spiritual Lifestyle, ln time, this understanding becomes a natural part of your day to day awareness, constructively influencing how you see yourselfand how you relate to your world. Meditation is the method to - Become intuitively aware of who you really are beyond the superficial labels of modern society; Experience the core energy of your being which is peaceful, positive and powerful; Direct that power into our abilities to create, communicate and co-operate with others; Discern the real meaning of life and your unique purpose in this lifetime. Dr. Girish D. Patel MBBS, Phd(Psy. Th), FRSH (London) 24 jun. 2015

Violence can never be justified, under any circumstances. How others behave, it is their karma created, and how we react with others, that is our karam, so why add uncessary burden on our shoulders, which carry karmas of countless lives. Just tell me, has any Guru Sahiban, given you the authority to take justice by your ownself? If not so, and still we do it, then we are no better than muslims. Fifth Patshahee, was Akal Purukh in human form, and we all know how he was tortured and abused, and so, if He wanted, He could turn them to ashes for example, but rather, He did not loose balance. You see, we are guests here in this creation. He the creator knows much better than any of us, how to handle His creation, which after all is His look out, we are blind and full of agyanta. Suppose you have some guests at home, and they they abuse in your presence some of your family members, just because they disagree on some issues. How would you feel. Let us bother for ourselves, and our betterment as human beings, and do the needful of bhakti, to get closer to Him, and be able to stay in His bhaana, that is it. At the end of the day, our actions alone will count, others come and go at their own appointed times, so let us worry for ourselves. Instead to make others good, if everyone tries to be good for himself or herself, then only can all become good. So the question is what is to be good? Good means, not harming anyone in thought, word, or deed. I am not saying not defending if one is attacked, that is another thing. You see, the path which will take us to Him, is individual and within each and everyone of us. So brother, if anyones does anything like you have stated, how can that be a hindrance, in that your inner path? Of course, we may not like things like those you have mentioned, but that is when Gurmat is helpful to us, for the horizons of our minds are wide open, as we are much more mature than many of the other dharams. There is quite a difference in being a true sikh, or a fanatic fascist. The true sikh looks at himself/herself within, where the Reality is, the fanatic fascist looks all around, except within. Sat Sree Akal.

You have mentioned a couple times the word mind, in your short post. So you are aware, that it is the mind which is making you dance to it´s tunes. Your soul knows this, and it does not like it. But brother, the solution has to come from your within, none of us can help you in that sense. You have already taken the first step by recognizing at falling prey to kaam. Guru Sahiban are Wahiguru, believe firmly, you are the royal child of Scahay Patshah Wahiguru Akal Purukh, and unluckily, the vikaar of kaam is troubling you. My only humble suggestion is, keep an eye on this thief and be alert, when you see it coming towards you, look at it firmly, and tell it, enough of troubling me, I am also no small thing, I am the child of the most Highest and Powerful Being, Wahiguru, and from now on, do not even bother to trouble me, because I have recognized you, and in no way, I am going to fall into your trap, and at the same time imagine that Guru Jee is near you and watching your bravery...with practice and faith, by His apaar Kirpa, kaam wil trouble you no more. At the same time, avoid bad sangat, and join good and healthy sangat. The company one keeps, has an deep impact on us. So better let it be good. If you have any films, magazines, nude photos, throw them away, it is all rubbish, which only fuels kaam. And at the same time, read Gurbani, divert your attention towards His Lotus Feet, by regularly and faithfully doing His Simran. God bless you. Sat Sree Akal.

INTELLIGENT ANSWER Wife: Tell me, who is stupid, you or me? Husband: (calmly), everyone knows that you are so intelligent, that you can never marry a stupid person.

What are you saying man? Do you even know what perfect religion means? Perfect religion means, that which unites the soul with the only Perect Being, namely Wahiguru Akal Purukh. And this union, is only possible by meditating on Him, which is worsrhip done by the soul, and this worship is as per Gurmat, by Guru Sahiban. This type of devotion produces divine virtues in us, such as humility, love, mercy and forgiveness Not by rituals, fastings, peregrinations,blind beliefs, killing, torturing, forcing conversions on others, etc which is done by the body under the influence of mind or agyanta, which for sure is a highway to hell. And this type of manmukhta creates hatred, anger, thirst for blood, ahankaar, all of which are devlish, or shaitanee vikaars...in those who follow it. Sat Sree Akal.

You want to see the true colors of these 2 pakhandees. Get the pictures or videos of any of these guys, look at their eyes carefully and their eyebrows, and then look at any pictures of our Guru Sahiban, and also look at their eyes and eyebrows, in the Guru Sahiban, you will see love and the Jot of Wahiguru; while in these others you will notice evilness....

Bihaagarhaa Mehlaa 4 Some Sat Bachans of Chauthvee Patshahee Dhan Dhan Satguru Ram Das Maharaj : sabh jee-a tayray toon varatdaa mayray har parabh toon jaaneh jo jee-ay kamaa-ee-ai raam. All beings are Yours - You permeate them all. O my Lord God, You know what they do in their hearts. In this line above, Guru Jee is telling us, He the Supreme Lord, whom we call Wahiguru Akal Purukh, is the creator of absolutely all beings. Unlike us, who discriminate and segregate different people of different races, different dharams, due to our narrow mindedness and agyanta, we fail to see the Jyot of Wahiguru, not only in us, or the rest of humans, but as well as the rest of beings or creatures. har antar baahar naal hai mayree jindurhee-ay sabh vaykhai man mukraa-ee-ai raam. The Lord is with them, inwardly and outwardly, O my soul; He sees everything, but the mortal denies the Lord in his mind. Guru Jee clearly says, he, the Lord, is within and outward everone and everywhere, there is no such place, where He is not. But due to the impurities on our minds, we fail to see Him as omnipresent. A child may not know, what is oxygene, but still he breathes that very oxygene. One day he grows, and comes to know about its name; but knowing or not knowing the name of that essential thing called oxygene to be alive, does not change the fact, that we may even give different names to it in different langauges, but that thing oxygene exists by itself, and is the same for all. We may see the stupidity, if some fools fight saying my oxygene is superior to yours. This is how moorakh humans behave, they give different names to that one universal existent Truth, then fight and kill each other. This shows their agyanta only. Had they known that, that one oxygene is the life giver to all, in spite of different words given to name it, they would never fight. Thus there are some very stupids, who take each and every chance, to engage in disputes and see diversity. Not all are born for God realization, it is by His hukum, people are born in diferent dharmas, races, countries, etc... so we should respect His hukum, if by bad luck they know little or nothing of Gurmat. What the hell can they do? No gyani, no scholar can ever convince anyone, if it is not written on their forhead. So instead to get angry, or condemm anyone, we should, as said before, respect His hukum, and feel sorry for them. That primal Truth is universal, and is one, we call it and know it as Satnam, Satpurukh, Wahiguru Akal Purukh. Others may deny this fact, and say there are multiple truths(that is their agyanta), but not because of that, we should behave as donkeys and start quarreling, because in them also, He is the reason of their existence, Without Him, that One, there is no other. If there are lesser levels of conciousness, even then, He is in them. manmukhaa no har door hai mayree jindurhee-ay sabh birthee ghaal gavaa-ee-ai raam. The Lord is far away from the self-willed manmukhs, O my soul; all their efforts are in vain. The Lord is far away, in the sense, that due to the agyanta of the manmukhs, they have lost the jewel inside their home, and go out with a torchlight to find it in the streets, thus, all their efforts are useless(rituals, customs, ceremonies, etc, outer actions). jan naanak gurmukh Dhi-aa-i-aa mayree jindurhee-ay har haajar nadree aa-ee-ai raam. Servant Nanak, as Gurmukh, meditates on the Lord, O my soul; he beholds the Lord ever-present Here Guru tells us clearly, He is not found or met, by just belonging to any particular religion or dharam, but, by meditating on Him, through His simran, then we sahll see Him in everyone and everywhere. say har dargeh painaa-i-aa mayree jindurhee-ay ahinis saach samaanay raam. They are robed in honor in the Court of the Lord, O my soul; night and day, they remain absorbed in the True Lord. By meditating on Him, there comes a time, when the soul gets the "rus" of the Amritful Naam, and looks forward to sit and do abhyaas as much as possible. tin kai sang mal utrai mayree jindurhee-ay rang raatay nadar neesaanay raam. In their company, the filth of one's sins is washed away, O my soul; imbued with the Lord's Love, one comes to bear the Mark of His Grace naanak kee parabh bayntee mayree jindurhee-ay mil saaDhoo sang aghaanay raam. Nanak offers his prayer to God, O my soul; joining the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, he is satisfied. In these 2 lines above, Guru tell us about how to know and love Him, through Sadh Sangat, the company of the Holy. hay rasnaa jap gobindo mayree jindurhee-ay jap har har tarisnaa jaa-ay raam. O tongue, chant the Name of God; O my soul, chanting the Name of the Lord, Har, Har, your desires shall be extinguished. By meditating on Him, by doing His Simran, we get rid of our desires, trishnas, not otherwise,which are a hindrance on our path towards Him jis da-i-aa karay mayraa paarbarahm mayree jindurhee-ay tis man naam vasaa-ay raam. He, unto whom my Supreme Lord God shows Mercy, O my soul, enshrines the Name in his mind. Once again, doing this type of Bhakti of repeating His Naam, it is not in one´s hands, but by His apaar kirpa on them, whom He wants to get out of ths mahabhavsagar of maya and kal. jis bhaytay pooraa satguroo mayree jindurhee-ay so har Dhan niDh paa-ay raam. One who meets the Perfect True Guru, O my soul, obtains the treasure of the Lord's wealth. Sat Bachan. vadbhaagee sangat milai mayree jindurhee-ay naanak har gun gaa-ay raam. By great good fortune, one joins the Company of the Holy, O my soul. O Nanak, sing the Glorious Praises of the Lord It is not in one´s hands to join Sadh Kee Sangat, even that is by His Kirpa thaan thanantar rav rahi-aa mayree jindurhee-ay paarbarahm parabh daataa raam. In the places and interspaces, O my soul, the Supreme Lord God, the Great Giver, is pervading. There is no such realm, whether visible or invisible, where He is not present. taa kaa ant na paa-ee-ai mayree jindurhee-ay pooran purakh biDhaataa raam. His limits cannot be found, O my soul; He is the Perfect Architect of Destiny. He is Ooch Apaar Beant Soami. sarab jee-aa partipaaldaa mayree jindurhee-ay ji-o baalak pit maataa raam. He cherishes all beings, O my soul, as the mother and father cherish their child. He takes care even of those, whom we dislike or reject, due to our narrow mindedness, all beings belong to Him. sahas si-aanap nah milai mayree jindurhee-ay jan naanak gurmukh jaataa raam. By thousands of clever tricks, He cannot be obtained, O my soul; servant Nanak, as Gurmukh, has come to know the Lord There is no way to get ever closer to Him, no matter how much chaturaee, akalmandee, we may use, unless we put into action the jugtee given to us by our Guru Sahiban for His realization. Sat Sree Akal.
