Am i prepared?


Recommended Posts

When we are leaving this world for the next one, it shall be like a trip to

another country.

Where details of that country won't be found in glamorous travel Brochures

but in the Holy Granth.

Where our plane won't be British Airways, Air India or American Airlines

but Air Khefen.

Where our luggage won't be the allowed 23 kgs but our deeds no matter how

heavy they weigh.

You don't pay for excess luggage. They are carried free of charge. With your

Creator's compliment.

Where our dress won't be a Pierre Cardin suit or the like but the white

cotton shroud

Where our perfume won't be Chanel, Paco Rabane, but the camphor and attar.

Where our passports won't be British, French or American but " Amrit "

Where our visa won't be the 6 months leave to stay but the "Anhad Bani"

Where the in-flight services won't be 1st class or economy but a piece of

beautifully scented or foul smelling dehi.

Where our waiting lounge won't be nice carpeted and air-conditioned rooms

but the 8 feet of ghee soaked logs.

Where our place of destination won't be Heathrow Terminal 1 or India

International Terminal but the burning log of woods thirsty to engulf you

Where the Immigration Officer won't be Her Majesty's officers but Chitth

and Guptth.

They only check out whether you deserve the place you yearn to go.

Where there is no need for Customs Officers or detectors.

Where the transit airport will be Dharam Raj Inn.

Where our final place of destination will be either the Garden under which

rivers flow or the Hellfire.

This

trip does not come with a price tag. It is free of charge. So your

savings would not come handy.

This flight can never be hijacked so do not worry about terrorists.

Food won't be served on this flight so do not worry about your allergies or

whether the food is Vege.

Do not worry about legroom; you won't need it, as your legs will become

things of the past.

Do not worry about delays. This flight is always punctual. It arrives and

leaves on time.

Do not worry about the in-flight entertainment programme because you would

have lost all your sense of joy

Do not worry about booking this trip, it has already been booked the day

you became a foetus in your mother's womb.

Ah! At last good news!

Do not worry about who will be sitting next to you. You will have the

luxury of being the only passenger.

So enjoy it while you can. If only you can!

One small snag though, this trip comes with "no warning".

AM I PREPARED ?

    • Definitely the Guru Sahibs would be a heavier Scriptures to handle. Dasam Granth is more towards Bir Rass, Guru Gobind Singh showed his Greatness (of course, they would never say this) by separating his own Baania.  And the BIGGEST test of all?? Do we try and read Dasam Granth, Understand n show respect like we do to SGGS? Or... Do we QUESTION it? Guru Gobind Singh Ji is testing us. 
    • My wife will be going for an MRI scan next week but her Kara won’t physically come off.  Is there any way the mri scan can be done with the Kara still on?  The alternative is we will have to try to saw it off before the scan.  
    • was researching this and came back to this thread. Also found an older thread:    
    • 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?
