saad sangat ji,

At the current time when i am typing this,there is like a storm of thoughts in my mind.i have read the japji sahib many times before,but today when i was reading the mool mantar there a thought strikes my mind.i was reading its translation in english.i started like this- ek onkar-god is one,sat nam-his name is truth.i that split second a thought strikes my mind.sat nam implies two things.first the name of the god is truth.and the second thing that comes in my mind is the [GOD IS TRUTH] god himself is truth.now think like me for a second.

Truth is one because non truth does not exist.

Truth is selfexisting and immortal and beyond births and deaths.

Truth is kind,beacause whatever happens to us whether dukh or sukh is good.

Whether there is time or not truth is truth.

Truth is formless

Truth cannot be explained.

Even in the last line guru sahib said /kiv hove sachearr/

That means how to become truth.

Sat nam appears to me like guru sahib saying to me the god you are finding is the truth himself.

And last but not the least only the true guru can explain what the truth is.

Is a bit complicated but try to think.

Also share your views to this nothing you great ones.

Good night and sat shri akal

You are on the right path, that is absolutely spot on- and is very very deep.

Keep doing naam simran on Truth(Satnam) and the gyan will unfold before your eyes- you will experience this gyan all around you.

Gurbani says God sat for millions of years/many ages discovering Truth. He lives in Truth 24/7, he has Become truth, so Truth became his Naam.

The reality is that there is no image, the form of Truth is Nothing. It is the balance- between light and dark

Imagine an invisible heart(sumbolic of God, the truth) which is cut in two. Both halves become visible. One half is black, and the other is white(symbolic of positive and negative/ pleasure and pain/ good and evil).

The halves separate do not allow the heart to beat, they are worthless and may as well be thrown in the bin. However when put together again the heart beats and there is life.

Although the truth cannot be decribed, this analogy is slightly symbolic of the value of truth(weak I know as the truth is infinite)- there is no good or bad, positive or negative, attached to one, we deny the other- hence we deny that half of ourself i.e one half of God himself- hence we live in ignorance, not Truth.

When we live in truth/balance/naam(simran), we are embracing the whole, we are embracing All of God, All of ourselves, always, not just ignoring one part of god.

Hence the Gurmukh sees plesure and pain as one, as God/Truth is everything, and is also nothing as the Truth is that there is Nothing(the primal void in gurbani from which everything and everyone(all image) was created)

    • 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
    • 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.
    • 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!! 
    • Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi Kalan uses simple Punjabi.
    • 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.
