With my eyes I see the Saints, and dedicate myself to serving them; I wash their feet with my hair.

Beautiful katha done in simple language on Jaap sahib which many of us find hard to recite.

Interesting threads on the same topic http://www.sikhawareness.com/topic/6827-how-to-become-celibate-when-married/ http://www.sikhawareness.com/topic/17628-why-nanaksar-ragiis-are-celibate/#comment-161154

Sggs ang 78 explains the marriage of a Gurmukh to God. The stages and language all refer to marriage terms like dehej as well which for the gurmukh is naam. I don't think it is referred to as anand karaj but as veyah of the gurmukh.

Just when I was wondering why people dont post secular videos on here, it happens !!!

If you have not read delivered from the powers of darkness then you are missing something. Evil exists and this book is a real story of how someone got caught right in the heart of it and got delivered. There is so much that goes on hidden from our eyes - good and bad. All this has a direct impact on your life. (It is a Christian book) It is hard to naam jap. Gurbani says akan aukha sacha naam. sache naam ki laghe bhukh. Ut bhukhe khae chaliye dhukh. It is hard to repeat the name of God, but if you are hungry for Naam and you eat it then your dhukh will end too. SGGS Ang 1163 tells us about how Naam dev Ji was trying to motivate himself to do bhagti. ਭੈਰਉ ਬਾਣੀ ਨਾਮਦੇਉ ਜੀਉ ਕੀ ਘਰੁ ੧ भैरउ बाणी नामदेउ जीउ की घरु १ Bẖairo baṇī nāmḏe▫o jī▫o kī gẖar 1 Bhairao, The Word Of Naam Dayv Jee, First House: ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥ ੴ सतिगुर प्रसादि ॥ Ik▫oaʼnkār saṯgur parsāḏ.

Anand sahib dha path as you will agree talks to lets say our eyes, ears, our body and our mun. eh netro mereyo, eh sanvno mereyo, eh sarira mereya and eh mun mereya. There is updesh for each part of the body depending on their function. what is for the ears cannot be for the eyes, what is for the mun cannot be done by body etc. In the same way bhaji there is updesh for avo Sikh Satgur ke peyaro gavo sachi bani. The tan mum dhan pauri which you are quoting is a guidance to the sant. We have simply not reached that level. We are still on the level of trying to conquer our mind, eyes and ears. Gursikhs can sing only ... Gun gavat teri upras mel, binas jaye Haume ... in Sukhmani. If we follow that pauri then we can see how further progress will be made. However Sant have already conquered their ego. updesh for sant is different because they can do the akath kahani of God. ਆਵਹੁ ਸੰਤ ਪਿਆਰਿਹੋ ਅਕਥ ਕੀ ਕਰਹ ਕਹਾਣੀ ॥ आवहु संत पिआरिहो अकथ की करह कहाणी ॥ Āvhu sanṯ pi▫āriho akath kī karah kahāṇī. Come, Beloved Saints, let us speak the Unspoken Speech of the Lord. ਕਰਹ ਕਹਾਣੀ ਅਕਥ ਕੇਰੀ ਕਿਤੁ ਦੁਆਰੈ ਪਾਈਐ ॥ करह कहाणी अकथ केरी कितु दुआरै पाईऐ ॥ Karah kahāṇī akath kerī kiṯ ḏu▫ārai pā▫ī▫ai. How can we speak the Unspoken Speech of the Lord? Through which door will we find Him? ਤਨੁ ਮਨੁ ਧਨੁ ਸਭੁ ਸਉਪਿ ਗੁਰ ਕਉ ਹੁਕਮਿ ਮੰਨਿਐ ਪਾਈਐ ॥ तनु मनु धनु सभु सउपि गुर कउ हुकमि मंनिऐ पाईऐ ॥ Ŧan man ḏẖan sabẖ sa▫up gur ka▫o hukam mani▫ai pā▫ī▫ai. Surrender body, mind, wealth, and everything to the Guru; obey the Order of His Will, and you will find Him. ਹੁਕਮੁ ਮੰਨਿਹੁ ਗੁਰੂ ਕੇਰਾ ਗਾਵਹੁ ਸਚੀ ਬਾਣੀ ॥ हुकमु मंनिहु गुरू केरा गावहु सची बाणी ॥ Hukam mannihu gurū kerā gāvhu sacẖī baṇī. Obey the Hukam of the Guru's Command, and sing the True Word of His Bani. ਕਹੈ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਸੁਣਹੁ ਸੰਤਹੁ ਕਥਿਹੁ ਅਕਥ ਕਹਾਣੀ ॥੯॥ कहै नानकु सुणहु संतहु कथिहु अकथ कहाणी ॥९॥ Kahai Nānak suṇhu sanṯahu kathihu akath kahāṇī. ||9|| Says Nanak, listen, O Saints, and speak the Unspoken Speech of the Lord. ||9|| In the same way Bhagats are explained. Hope you understand that there is a difference in Gurbani as to Gursikh, Bhagats, sants and the Gurus. ਭਗਤਾ ਕੀ ਚਾਲ ਨਿਰਾਲੀ ॥ भगता की चाल निराली ॥ Bẖagṯā kī cẖāl nirālī. The lifestyle of the devotees is unique and distinct. ਚਾਲਾ ਨਿਰਾਲੀ ਭਗਤਾਹ ਕੇਰੀ ਬਿਖਮ ਮਾਰਗਿ ਚਲਣਾ ॥ चाला निराली भगताह केरी बिखम मारगि चलणा ॥ Cẖālā nirālī bẖagṯāh kerī bikẖam mārag cẖalṇā. The devotees' lifestyle is unique and distinct; they follow the most difficult path. ਲਬੁ ਲੋਭੁ ਅਹੰਕਾਰੁ ਤਜਿ ਤ੍ਰਿਸਨਾ ਬਹੁਤੁ ਨਾਹੀ ਬੋਲਣਾ ॥ लबु लोभु अहंकारु तजि त्रिसना बहुतु नाही बोलणा ॥ Lab lobẖ ahaʼnkār ṯaj ṯarisnā bahuṯ nāhī bolṇā. They renounce greed, avarice, egotism and desire; they do not talk too much. ਖੰਨਿਅਹੁ ਤਿਖੀ ਵਾਲਹੁ ਨਿਕੀ ਏਤੁ ਮਾਰਗਿ ਜਾਣਾ ॥ खंनिअहु तिखी वालहु निकी एतु मारगि जाणा ॥ Kẖanni▫ahu ṯikẖī vālahu nikī eṯ mārag jāṇā. The path they take is sharper than a two-edged sword, and finer than a hair. ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸਾਦੀ ਜਿਨੀ ਆਪੁ ਤਜਿਆ ਹਰਿ ਵਾਸਨਾ ਸਮਾਣੀ ॥ गुर परसादी जिनी आपु तजिआ हरि वासना समाणी ॥ Gur parsādī jinī āp ṯaji▫ā har vāsnā samāṇī. By Guru's Grace, they shed their selfishness and conceit; their hopes are merged in the Lord. ਕਹੈ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਚਾਲ ਭਗਤਾ ਜੁਗਹੁ ਜੁਗੁ ਨਿਰਾਲੀ ॥੧੪॥ कहै नानकु चाल भगता जुगहु जुगु निराली ॥१४॥ Kahai Nānak cẖāl bẖagṯā jugahu jug nirālī. ||14|| Says Nanak, the lifestyle of the devotees, in each and every age, is unique and distinct. ||14|| We cannot say that Gursikhs will be able to achieve what Sants, bhagats or Gurus could do. Obviously Gursikhs are still at the stage where they need to understand and start to practice what Guru Ji said. This is why Gursikhs follow Gristi jeevan because that is the updesh of Guru Ji for us. They are not yet perfectified to stand single and to carry their lives without loosing the way. This is why ordinary people claim to be celibates but they cannot be the same standard of celibates which the sants or bhagats are capable of. Gursikhs of course have a high moral standard. Sikhs are just sikhs .... they need to start to follow the Guru yet. They are following their mind. eh mun chanchla chatrai kine na paya. All Gursikhs, bhagats and Sants operate under the instructions of Guru Ji.

Sorry by exercises I meant the yoga type where you turn your head to relax your neck.

Japji sahib gavahi eesar barmaa dayvee sohan sadaa savaaray. Shiva, Brahma and the Goddess of Beauty, ever adorned, sing. gaavahi ind idaasan baithay dayviti-aa dar naalay.

Lack of iron can cause these headaches. It is not because of the hair or dastar as we may end up thinking. It is sometimes just lack of exercise and circulation. A glass of water and a walk in fresh air tends to help too. Avoid sleeping or carrying your mobile phone on you for long periods of time. Electronic exposure from phone handsets, mobiles and tablets and laptops can cause these headaches. So try to limit your exposure. Avoid having unnecessary chats on your mobile phone too. Once iron builds up you feel better. Exercise helps anaemia get better contrary to what we think.

Daswandh which is input in Langar is the best seva. Take cash. Or daswandh which the charity uses for langar. Take the reund and redonate to sikh causes I guess. If possible take to gurdwara any time you visit some purchasdd items.

Best to check with your airlines or travel agent. The last time I heard somebody was there they were police escorted because of internal security issues. Maybe they are fine now. Mostly whites and arabs and Muslims visit there.

I am 43 and still wondering what that pappu syndrome means. Obviously I have missed some important stage.

Sach kaho sun leo sabhe Jin prem kio tin hi Prabh payeo as Guru Gobind Singh Ji tells us It is important to also understand that Amrit vela has been given to us by Guru Ji so be thankful to it. Thankfulness is very important. be thankful from the bottom of your heart to be blessed just to wake up at Amrit vela and do your path. So many people are lost and want God but do not know how. amrit vela itself is the greatest dhaat and blessing which God gives to those he love and who love him.

This may highlight the life of Baba Nand Singh Ji better for our knowledge and understanding. http://www.nanaksarkaleran.net/images/babajeepdftest.pdf It is also important to be aware that Guru Nanak Dev Ji has predicted that there will be a certain number of sants coming to the world. These are different from Gurus.

so what were the results of this poll which occured in 2013 ?

http://www.gurbaniupdesh.org/multimedia/listing.php?q=f&f=%2F04-Katha%2F00-Sant+Isher+Singh+Ji+%28Rara+Sahib+Wale%29%2FDeewans Contains most deewans of Sant Isher Singh Ji. Beyant kathas on all topics.

Perhaps the conclusion here is that Celibates are themselves already married spiritually. Marriage is a core concept in Gurbani. Suhagni is menioned time and again. Celibates are people who have the best marriage of all marriages. The marriage with God himself. If you are already married to the creator - who else can you get married to. It is when you are married that you get everything which you ever desired for. It is also when you are married that you are able to understand what your husband Waheguru wills every second of the day. The concept of marriage to an individual is just a journey for us in order to understand what it is to get married to God in the end.
