darling - an affectionate or familiar term of address , nothing sexual !

I now know loves and crushes only exists in head and are an utter waste of time and energy ..

And why would I be in school ? I would be in college .. ( I guess you are referring to college as school ).

No one calls me Darling anymore :(

<br />If u accept its in your karam , how can u make efforts<br />

karam is from the past. the influences on your life now are from karma. you are still free to make whatever efforts you wish to make in the present. naam bani, seva, satsangat all improve our karams. meaning that the weight of influences on our life lessens.

here's a simple example. let's say you want to regularly workout but don't. laziness is a habit, that's your past karma influencing you. it doesn't stop you from working out though. you can still make yourself go to the gym.

it`s hard to know unless you reach some high spiritual stage. Sometimes life is going along fine, then all of a sudden bad things start happening. This doesn`t mean that our karam has suddenly become worse. it just means that some tougher karams have come up that we need to work through.

Think of a bag of marbles that represents all of your karma. This is a storehouse of karma (sanchit karam). In each life, a handful of marbles (karmas) are taken from this storehouse. These karmas MUST be lived through (pralabdh karam). Some of these karams are ``good``, while some are ``bad``. The severity of the pralabdh karams is AUTOMATICALLY reduced through seva, simran, satsangat. These three things also burn up sanchit karam as well. nishkaam simran (simran done without any desires) has the most powerful effect.

Although I feel that there is no way of absolutely knowing for sure, I can tell you from my own life that there have marked noticeable improvements in overall happiness and the ability to open doors since Maharaj had me do more jaap. You`ll probably notice a similar improvement in life once you make a serious effort to increase naam kamai, especially if its done in sangat. REGULAR meditation in sangat can cause a VERY noticeable improvement in quality of life.

    • 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?
