Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa , Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.

I had a long msn chat with a dear friend/sister, and the inspiration that I was able to get out of that chat I would like to share with you. Through that chat, I realized how Waheguru Ji did such kirpa on me that I was not able to see it before. I have not yet become a Sikh. So I am not worthy to call myself Kaur. But, in my heart, I know very soon, I will. I would like to share my story with you.

I found myself spiritually lost. Now that I have found Waheguru Ji, nothing seems to matter to me .... ok, fine...almost nothing! I love this new life He has blessed me with. I can't get enough. The more I read, the more I thirst for God. As it says in Bani "if one is hungry for the true name let the hungry consume his pain."

I always depended on happiness from others, but now I want to attach myself only to the feet of the True Guru. Then true happiness will come to me, and nothing in this world can affect that happiness.

What brought happiness back into my life was to realize that nothing in this world is permanent. Everything you see, feel or touch can and will disappear. Whatever happens to me in this life is His will...and His Will is Sweet. Only love the Lord...cuz all that exists is the Lord. If you have any worries, as I, remember God is in charge of my life, so there can be no worries.

God gave me all this pain, because I started to forget Him. It is written in Gurbani, that when happy, you forget, when in pain, you remember. If this is the way that I remember Him, then I will accept all the pain He has to give. As Gurbani says, pain is the medicine, while pleasure/love of maya is the disease.

Family and Friends are always slow at responding to your needs, but the bestest Friend of all is all around you, every second. Guru Ji is here, watching over me. Even when I was hurting, I knew that there is a purpose that is beyond us. I lost faith in Waheguru Ji. But, that Faith will grow stronger with love. The more I love God, the more faith I will have in Him.

A Gursikh told me that, in order to wake up at Amrit Vela..just love God the same deepness you would love your true love...you would do anything to see him, meet him in the night, anything...it's the same for Guru Ji..love him so much you cannot stand to be separate from Him. Taken in that light...you already have an eternal lover ; ) (hehehe). As my dear sister Summer said, "Looks like you found True Love, because you definitely are blushing!"

So remember, first thing important in life is God, Bani and Simran, and then everything else follows.

God Bless

Rab Rakha

Forgive this humble servant for any pain and sufferings she may have caused. For she is just a mere human being. But please do let me shed the Light of the True Guru. For He is the Supreme Being.

P.S. Thank you for the wonderful inspirational stories that many of you have shared with us. I am just starting to realize Waheguru Ji, and through your help and inspirational guidance, my love for Waheguru Ji will become stronger.

On a personal note, thank you bhenji for making me realize this. I Love You!

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
