vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh

ਕਬੀਰ ਸੂਖੁ ਨ ਏਂਹ ਜੁਗਿ ਕਰਹਿ ਜੁ ਬਹੁਤੈ ਮੀਤ ॥

kabeer sookh na ayNh jug karahi jo bahutai meet

Kabeer, peace does not come in this world by making lots of friends.

ਜੋ ਚਿਤੁ ਰਾਖਹਿ ਏਕ ਸਿਉ ਤੇ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਵਹਿ ਨੀਤ ॥੨੧॥

jo chit raakhahi ayk si-o tay sukh paavahi neet.

Those who keep their consciousness focused on the One Lord shall find eternal peace.

"sukh" = happiness

"jug" = world

"bahutay meet" = lots of friends

"chit" = mind

"raakhai" = keep

"neet" = always, forever

This Salok of Bhagat Kabeer Ji shows how highly we regard materialistic things and how we ignore the Truth.

We are so attached to worldy things; the people we love, objects we treasure, the food we eat. We worry so much about losing them. No matter how many friends we have to console us, we won't be happy. We find our friends betraying us, lieing to us, avoiding us, hurting us. Then we realise how much time we waste. Some think that by getting married, falling in love or having children, they'll be happy. We place so much value on this stuff, but does it really matter?

In the end, it doesn't go with us. It doesn't calm us, it doesn't help us if we can't meditate on Maharaj. This is so easy to say, but immensely difficult to actually believe and implement. Placing our faith in this stuff is not the right way to go. It's a useless, pointless wasting-of-time way to go, but we usually do it anyway :D . Placing our faith in Maharaj is the Way to Go.

Imagine not feeling any worry. Not feeling any sadness when the people around us die, or feeling angry when we bite our tongues or stub our toes or when the post we just typed out gets lost due to the Page Not Being Displayed. :D Anyway, that would be a good feeling. A state of mind which we can't begin to comprehend, but will ensure peace and tranquility (*understatement*).

The point is to always remember quietly at the back of our minds, that whatever happens around us is an illusion. It's temporary, it'll pass, we'll get over it. Our focus is to remember Maharaj in any situation we're put in, and to trust Him with everything, thank Him for everything and become obsessed with Him in general.

Today's picture is not relevant to the post because I didn't know what would be relevant.

      Concept of Sin

      By BhForce · Posted

      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

      Fake Baba

      By BhForce · Posted

      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.

      Fake Baba

      By Singh1989 · Posted

      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!!

      Is suraj parkash right? is it a reliable source of info?

      By BhForce · Posted

      Leaving aside Guru ji, the general question of taking afeem (opium) in limited quantities for war/medical wounds is simply unproblematic. When you go to the hospital, they give you morphine. What do you think morphine is? It's an opiate. Even codeine (cough syrup) is an opiate! Ever had a cough? Granted, it is against Gurmat to take opium or other drugs for the fun of it.
