If God Seems Far Away, Guess Who Moved?

what a nice article...thanks for sharing that..Waheguru is no near to us and we dont feel him

I think although we have so much of technology that keeps the world a small place, our hearts have moved far from each other.

we have our priorities wrong and we believe in wrong things especially Duality

[humble_kaur]

Instead of focusing on the world and its duality, we should be focusing on ourselves. Our focus should start from incorporating Gurbani into our lives and following the Sikh Rehat Maryada. In order for us to spread Sikhi, we need to fully understand it ourselves.

When you attend a class, and your teacher doesn’t understand the subject themselves, how are they able to teach it? The teacher is a failure, and you will fail as well. If the only thing you do is wear the 5 Kakaars, and know nothing about it, you’re doing just as good as the teacher.

"Sikhi is something that is to be lived and experienced rather than something that is intellectually grasped and comprehended. In Sikhi there is no duality between spirit and matter. The highest goal of spiritual progression is harmony with God, while remaining earth-conscious, so that the world itself may be transformed to a spiritual plane of existence.” (Sardar Kapur Singh)

Yes, technology is available to us, and it is a wonderful thing. But do not put the blame on technology. Yes, technology has made the world a smaller place, but is that really the reason for us growing apart? We tend to make up excuses for everything; technology is a sore excuse for losing connection with God.

Remember, from one seed sprout many fruit. So let’s become that one seed.

WaheGuru Ji ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji ki fateh

" Living to leave an earthly legacy is a short lived goal"

To a person who is yet struggling to come to terms with the ways of the world this may seem a lofted aspiration. As of now, I would feel blessed if I could leave a simple legacy around me that the lives I touched were better off for it. To be able to make a positive difference to the lives of people around me would seem a good enough life lived. Am I aiming too low? Wasn't making a difference in other peoples lives the goal most Blessed Souls achieved? Isnt looking for a higher spiritual goal a more selfish aspiration than making the worldly lives of people around us better?

forgive me if I sound foolish. Bhul Chuk maaf. Will look forward to all your views on this.
