Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh

The Lost Soul

The mirror reflected nothing as I lay seeking the reality beneath the shrouded illusion I had felt close to my heart. Why did I come here, and why was I meant to seek your sanctuary? So many times my heart has bled and yet I have never wanted to leave your side. In my errors, you encircled me with forgiveness, and gave me the next breath of redemption. But why have I come here? Why have you kept my thoughts of you in a heart where it does not belong? Emotions of you? This journey is an endless one, but what becomes of a soul like mine that has yet to tread the first step upon this strenuous crossing? From far I have admired your creation, but within, an emptiness echoes in silence. The echo of this heart does not even make a sound, what sense does that make!?! The pitcher full of water plays a dampened tune, when it is embraced by the affections of touch. Yet the vessel of my body was meant to ring a thousand tunes of praise, but yet has to become what it is not, within, to hear it, and display it. Like the screams of a black crow, my existence is but a scream. I wish for you to answer the call, but who am I to beg for something I cannot even hear? My heart bleeds, I just wish is was not out of yearning for YOU, but out of the joy of being comforted by the one I have always thrown afar and never loved.

Love. What is that thing which the world seeks? Love. Is that you? Or is it another veil that has to be removed from the illusion of this Grand Play? So many joys have been robbed, so many embraces have been lost, and yet the gift of the next breath is given.

I don't deserve this and yet the

heart grows larger. I don't deserve this, and yet the veil becomes torn asunder. I don't love this, and yet the true companion draws nearer? From where have you come, and where will you take me? Has the journey ended or has the deeper pilgrimage just begun? Has the heart been mended and has the rhythm of the soul begun to beat the emotions of a thousand love songs? Have I come to see what I have yet to hold for all eternity? To see what the heart truly yearns and what the mind truly will regret not believing, as my final breath draws nearer?

You have gone. As quickly as you came you have left me again. My Beloved, this existence is empty again now that you have left this bleeding vessel. The cut has been drawn deeper, and the tears will not stop flowing down this trembling body. I beg that you never leave me. My heart no longer bleeds....................it has stopped. Without your Grace this body has lost it's support. It has become lifeless. Still, and without emotion. My surrender never came; I have lost on this battlefield of life. The cycle of this breath is now complete. May you give me such Truth that I may take my final rest in the one place I never could. In the grains of sand beneath your wondrous Feet. Waheguru............

      Concept of Sin

      By MokhamSingh · Posted

      The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…

      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!!
