I want to explore Shri Guru Grath sahib ji and connections to eternal consciousness to try understanding and growing spiritually but unfortunately I dont know how to read punjabi and I think this is a major drawback. Are there any english books or resources that I can use to get a better understanding.

"Jo brahmande soi pinde” means the entire universe is within you. There is One universal (GOD) consciousness divided into infinte consciousness yet it retains the same original characteristics. This life form or any other form is giving it a contast, appearing to be something less in an illusion since it doesn't remember.  Simran is remembrance or rejoining its true self is the main idea of Sikhi. As the picture says, each part contains the Whole. No matter how many parts it is divided into it remains its true self. A book called Bandginama by Raghbir Singh also available in English is a good start.

GOD is the creator and the created. All possibilities exist so we choose our experiences. If an Atheist chooses his/her experience, it will be separation since GOD is unity (one consciousness) the universe will honor his choice and bring him/her that experience. Life is about free will choose and experience. GOD doesn't judge if you are an Atheist or a saint.

This is a piece from conversation between Birla Seth and Baba Nand Singh Nanaksar Wale. Basically says have faith in Satguru and do Naam Jaap and live according to Satgurus teachings and the previous Janam Karam will change.

Life is like a circle. Humans in that circle of awareness are more conscious than other life forms. If they choose they can accelerate their conscious meregence with GOD. Like a diamond in the earth core take bllions on years to form but in a factory you can create a cultured diamond in weeks. Naam Jaap can similarly create the condition of higher conscious awareness. There is only one thing in creation (GOD) in many forms looking back at itself by providing contrast to itself. Humans , Animals, Rocks all have same basic elemental compostion in various concentrations, but different levels of consciousess hence all is GOD- Sab Gobind hai Sab Gobind Hai.... The overly concern obsession with various joons become irrevelnt as one can choose to become a Ghost or an Animal. Ghost is a person after death refuses to go into the light due to its earthly attachments. Gods plan is to move you forward in awareness not go back as animal as it would be further back in awareness. There is no superior of inferior life forms just various levels of awareness.

My gut instinct is he is a government agent stirring up trouble in Punjab. Center Government BJP needs an excuse to put president rule in Punjab i.e to get AAP out. He comes out of nowhere saying he was in Dubai for many years doing dispatch for trucking service etc. THIS GUY is trouble!

The quality of questions and discussions have gone down exponentially on sikhsangat. It seems like people are wandering aimlessly. 

I think most Sikhs have lost the plot. Most of the questions on this fourm cannot provide convincing answers. Why don't we have a inteliigent group of Scholars in our panth on these webpages for us. The loads of parcharaks from India collect $'s  year after year and sangat is still confused. 

Well it’s easy to label Sikhs are Khalistanis etc. to impose president rule in Punjab. Just look at Lakhimpir Kheri incident BJP still won most seats. The Sikh farmers got ran over yet no sympathy from the locals. The only reason why Kisan andolan was partially successful is because of Tikait was the face of the Morcha. AAP is Playing it safe but only time will tell.

Loving all doesn’t exclude oneself  and what’s right. If an act of unevolved person causing hurt to another. Then I would do whats appropriate to defend. Ones free will doesn’t give right to revoke other persons free will. Universal laws work on consequences not punishment. Like smoking cause Lung cancer.

The central theme for human existence revolves around Ego. What’s in it for me and to get that by any means necessary by hook or crook is the limit of existence for most. That’s why the concept of onesess is foreign and impossible to believe. But that doesn’t change the ultimate truth of Unity that all (separation illusion) leads to the oneness. 

We are what we believe we are. It’s free will. Choices are infinite. Since all possibilities exist in the one. We also create what we repeatedly believe. Upon death one sees jamdoots, yamraj etc if your faith makes you believe and if your faith don’t have those you don’t see them. I have gone through a review of thousands on near death experiences cases and realized that the your belief creates your reality so why not believe in the ultimate reality that we are all one and bypass the drama.

We are all one and separation is an illusion.

Why would GOD punish itself for committing sins against itself. The sins are committed in ignorance of Separation and once upon death it’s realized without judgement and punishment soul moves forward for mergence into the one shedding it’s association with the ego self. The purpose of GOD is to make things move forward in evolution not to get us back for our deeds like what humans  do.

Let’s stick to Gurbani or this could happen

Another good read which sent 3HO to prompt damage control. 3HO the US version of dera culture.

A near death experience (NDE) 

“When I was eleven years old I had a weird experience. It was 12/03/1990 and I was coming back from school. When I reached our house in the village, I started having these weird hallucinations and I fell, hitting a rock directly on my head. I passed out. Here is where it began. I lifted out of my body and something pushed me into a weird place. It was like a magnet pushing me there. I then saw someone who was dead. My grandfather. He said, ‘To the stars’. I got pushed by that force and fell on my knees. Free of that power, I fell into a weird city that looked like a very ruined version of earth. I then noticed it was earth. But earth during World War 3. Everything was rubble but thank God, it was only in one continent that was blown up. That was Europe. I then heard voices explaining how the savior of this event will be born in 2001 on this exact date in Canada. He too would be a Sikh. I awoke in the hospital and the doctor said that I had just died and was now alive. No one believed my incident except the doctors and my family.”

Birth Is disintegration of an integrated being in Physical plane- Body, Mind (ego, personality, not localized in brain, reside in every cell) and Soul. 
Death is integration- first recognition of that you were not the body. that you have no interest in your body after you die and you can exist without it. Next is purging emptying your earth belief systems ie experience dharamraj, hell etc other belief system has no mention of meeting jam doots or dharamraj. Most do have a life review to make them understand that since we are all one we were doing all bad or good to ourselves. Next mergence into GOD all is one feeling. Next go out of the mergence. Then go to spiritual plane all the Khands described in end of Japji Sahib to do Plan for next reincarnation. Then back to mergence in GOD. Followed by awareness and contiinuation of where your ego left off birth again to earth or many other planes. This is just my understanding.

Waheguru Ji Ki Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Im 13 years old and I’m planning to take Amrit. I’m trying to gain as music information about Sikhi as possible. I heard that Amritdhari Sikhs can only eat food made by other Amritdhari Sikhs. Is this true? If it is then this follows the Brahmin way of eating food. Guru Nanak Dec Ji taught us that everyone is equal. Also do Amritdhari Sikhs have to eat from a steel or iron plate?

First of all I commend you thinking in this direction. No one will have the right answers to all the questions,  you will end up getting more confused. After taking Amrit Keep Rehat (stay away from four bajjar Kureiths) do nitnem banis and naam jaap. Just know that you can always take Amrit again after peshi to panj pyaaras if kureith occurs. If you need direction pray to Guru Sahibs they will show you the way. Thats all Good Luck.

If this was true why would Gangu be employed as a cook in Guru Gobind Singh ji's house. This Jhoota food  is Bhamanvaad creeping into Sikhi.

This is all happening because Separation is an illusion. In truth what you are doing to another you are doing it to yourself ( including people, animals and nature etc..). Unless majority of people realize and move through life as One the illusion would continue. To raise the consciousness of the whole in an illusion would require effort of giving up ones Ego (Naam Simran and Seva principles of Sikhi) or at least have a believe in the principle of Oneness since belief creates reality. Looking at the world now it seems to be in Kindergarten and has a long way to go...

Guruji has no problem with the Mosque their message is of equality. Just Like Guru Teg Bahadur Ji sacrificed his life to save Hindus. Its the Muslims or even the Christians who preach that if you don't accept Christ as their savior you will go to hell. So lets not divert from the issue. Its about GOD letting it happen due to his Hukam. His Hukam is free will, create whatever you want without restriction and face the consequences of your (actions). What point would de for GOD to lay options in front of you and restrict you from choosing them, to give a free will and then restrict it. As I see in Amritsar Sikh Barber trimming beard of a Sikh customer. Both have turbans on. Utmost shameful per Sikh principles.
