I Am In Love


Recommended Posts

You will realize very soon what I mean. Please continue reading.

At times I wonder why people use the phrase "falling in love". I mean, something that makes you fall, can it be a good thing? Love should be something that elevates you. But what is the source of this love? Gurbani says that Vaheguru is the source of everything. The only true love you can and should have is with Vaheguru, because the only true love you get is from only and only Vaheguru. Numerous times in Gurbani it is stated by Guru Sahib that none of the worldly relations are of any use. At the same time He states the importance of saadh sangat. Now does that sound contradictory? It could, but its not, once you analyze the roots of each relationship. The foundation of worldly relations is either one's birth thereby resulting in family relations or a vikaar (like kaam or moh) resulting in other sorts of relationships. Can these have the "love element" in them? Well I'll let you decide, because the very foundation of these relationships is weak. One is the human birth which will one day end with death. The other is vikaars which can't go a long way. Probably this is one of the many reasons Guru Sahib tells us that worldly relations are temporary. Now coming to saadh sangat. The root of this relationship is Vaheguru Himself. He enjoins thirsty souls whose sole aim is Vaheguru. Here you can say that the "love element" exists. But can a mere human being elevate another one? After all no one is perfect, so how can one "not-so-perfect" human elevate another "not-so-perfect" human? Again, it is Vaheguru who elevates everyone. Love is elevation, not falling. "Falling" in love is an oxymoron, and totally ironic. If you are "falling", its not love, its some ditch you are falling into. If you are being elevated, it is love. But remember, only Vaheguru is elevating you, because only Vaheguru is perfect enough to elevate anyone.

Thanks for reading. The purpose of this pointless message of mine is a suspense. I just coined the full form for L.O.V.E. It stands for "Let Only Vaheguru Elevate", because only He can. "Let Only Vaheguru Elevate", because we imperfect humans can't elevate anyone else who is similarly imperfect. "Let Only Vaheguru Elevate", because then you won't fall. "Let Only Vaheguru Elevate", because that is true elevation, and thereby true love.

Next time you tell someone "I love you", deep down somewhere within the depths of your heart and soul, you should be saying "I Let Only Vaheguru Elevate You". I let only Vaheguru elevate you, because I can't as we both are imperfect. I let only Vaheguru elevate you, because He can elevate both of us. I let only Vaheguru elevate you, because with you I will be elevated, and then neither one of us will ever fall. And finally, I let only Vaheguru elevate you, because I truly love you, and He truly loves both of us.

With love, and yes, may Vaheguru elevate you

    • Net pay after taxes. If you don't agree, think about this: If you were a trader and started off in China with silk that cost 100 rupees and came to India, and you had to pay total 800 rupees taxes at every small kingdom along the way, and then sold your goods for 1000 rupees, you'd have 100 rupees left, right? If your daswandh is on the gross, that's 100 rupees, meaning you have nothing left. Obviously, you owe only 10% of 100, not 10% of 1000. No, it's 10% before bills and other expenses. These expenses are not your expenses to earn money. They are consumption. If you are a business owner, you take out all expenses, including rent, shop electricity, cost of goods sold, advertising, and government taxes. Whatever is left is your profit and you owe 10% of that.  If you are an employee, you are also entitled to deduct the cost of earning money. That would be government taxes. Everything else is consumption.    
    • No, bro, it's simply not true that no one talks about Simran. Where did you hear that? Swingdon? The entire Sikh world talks about doing Simran, whether it's Maskeen ji, Giani Pinderpal Singh, Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi, or Sants. So what are you talking about? Agreed. Agreed. Well, if every bani were exactly the same, then why would Guru ji even write anything after writing Japji Sahib? We should all enjoy all the banis. No, Gurbani tells you to do Simran, but it's not just "the manual". Gurbani itself also has cleansing powers. I'm not saying not to do Simran. Do it. But Gurbani is not merely "the manual". Reading and singing Gurbani is spiritually helpful: ਪ੍ਰਭ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਬਦੁ ਸੁਭਾਖਿਆ ॥  ਗਾਵਹੁ ਸੁਣਹੁ ਪੜਹੁ ਨਿਤ ਭਾਈ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੈ ਤੂ ਰਾਖਿਆ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The Lord's Bani and the words are the best utterances. Ever sing hear and recite them, O brother and the Perfect Guru shall save thee. Pause. p611 Here Guru ji shows the importance of both Bani and Naam: ਆਇਓ ਸੁਨਨ ਪੜਨ ਕਉ ਬਾਣੀ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਿ ਲਗਹਿ ਅਨ ਲਾਲਚਿ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਪਰਾਣੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The mortal has come to hear and utter Bani. Forgetting the Name thou attached thyself to other desires. Vain is thy life, O mortal. Pause. p1219 Are there any house manuals that say to read and sing the house manual?
    • All of these are suppositions, bro. Linguists know that, generally, all the social classes of a physical area speak the same language, though some classes may use more advanced vocabulary. I'm talking about the syntax. That is, unless the King is an invader, which Porus was not. When you say Punjabi wasn't very evolved, what do you mean? The syntax must have been roughly the same. As for vocabulary, do you really think Punjabis at the time did nothing more than grunt to express their thoughts? That they had no shades of meaning? Such as hot/cold, red/yellow/blue, angry/sweet/loving/sad, etc? Why must we always have an inferiority complex?
    • I still think about that incident now and then, just haven't heard any developments regarding what happened, just like so many other things that have happened in Panjab!
    • There was a young Singh from abroad who went to Anandpur Sahib Hola and got into a fight with some Punjabis who were playing loud non-religious music. He had bana and a weapon or two. There were more of them than him.  He ended up losing his life. Don't be like that. Not worth it to fight manmukhs. @californiasardar1 ਮੂਰਖੈ ਨਾਲਿ ਨ ਲੁਝੀਐ ॥੧੯॥ Argue not with a fool. p473
