The Fact of Melatonin

 

Please make it a point to sleep early...

That´s how God has made us sleep at night and work during the day.

There is a natural cancer vaccine, which God has placed in each and everyone of us, in the form of a gland in our head called the Pineal gland.

It is considered to be the biological clock of the human body and it is also connected to the sight nerve. It is small like the size of a pea.

Everyday after sundown this gland starts producing a substance called Melatonin which runs in the bloodstream and protects the body from cancer.

This gland works only in the dark so if the eye is exposed to light the gland does not work because it thinks night has not come yet.

So if you stay up at night in the light, you are depriving your body from this daily vaccine. Our parents and grandparents who used to sleep early in the night and wake up early in the morning did not suffer from cancer or any of the disease we hear about today.

God has placed this daily vaccine in our body to protect us so let's put it to use by sleeping early. The gland starts working from after dark until two hours before sunrise.

Melatonin hormone is secreted by the Pineal gland, and as it trickles into the blood-stream, reduces the electrical activity between the brain and heart, reduces the heart rate, brings down anxiety levels, rebuilds the damaged tissues.

About anger, and tips to manage it gradually

If our anger is a tool and it is in our control, then anger is good.

But if anger controls us then we are in trouble, and the cause is also gone.

There is nothing wrong in using anger as a weapon, but if it is cutting our own peace of mind, then we should use wisdom to safeguard ourselves.

 

Here is some perspective on how to skillfully free one´s mind from the clutches of anger, and experience a balanced state of mind.

1 Give room for imperfection

The main cause of anger is that we want perfection. We get angry over imperfections, but the world does have levels of perfection.

Let´s give a little space for imperfection. When we give some space for imperfection, then patience  increases in us.

At home we keep a garbage can, isn't it? You cannot say, 'I won’t keep a garbage can at home'. Then there would be garbage all over the place. Anger is that garbage all over the house. When you give space for imperfection, you will put all the garbage in a can and let it be. Then you will see how you can manage your anger.
So exercise patience towards imperfections. It takes time for imperfection to become perfection. How can you give that time? When you give space for it. Then compassion arises and anger disappears.

2 Balance between expressing and suppressing our anger

We can’t express anger all the time, we will cause so much damage to ourself and others around us.

And we can’t suppress it all the time either, sometimes we need to express it otherwise we may explode.

So, we have have to strike that right balance between expressing and suppressing our anger.

Wisdom is knowing when to express it and when to suppress it.

 

3 Don’t get angry with yourself for getting angry

It will take quite some time for a person to get to that level where anger does not even touch us. It will keep coming in different shades and intensities.

When anger comes up, don’t start blaming yourself. One thing that can be very detrimental is you blaming yourself.

Keep moving ahead. If you get angry, never mind, just let it come and go. Instead of looking at the cause of anger, look at the effect it is producing in your body and keep relaxing your body.

 

4 Keep good company

We can never get cured of this disease called anger, if we keep the company of goons and bullies or let us say, consciousless minded people.

So, whatever we cannot do alone,  we can do it with the support of good company.                                        

Company has many benefits and a few drawbacks too, as it can also take up a lot of our energy.

The positive effect is that good company gives us that much needed support to move forward.

Whenever our mind goes topsy-turvy, or if our emotions are going up and down, at such times the  good company will carry us forward. It will help us move through the situations.

 

5 Accept people as they are

One of the principles of conquering anger is: Accept people and situations as they are.

Accepting and creating room for others itself makes our personality much wider. If we don’t have that expanded consciousness, then we become very rigid in our outlook.

People who irritate you, in some way or the other can bring about the best in you. They can bring out the talents and skills in you.

See, when everyone around you is wonderful you don’t need any skill to handle a situation. It will only happen when there are people whom you think are unreasonable. So, take it as an exercise as much as possible. 

The moment deep acceptance starts coming from within,  we will suddenly find the other person also changes.                    It is strange, but true. When we change, they also change.

 

6 Practice meditation

Meditation will definitely provide that much needed strength to overcome anger.

Practice it, and go deeper into meditation. You will feel the serenity and the change in you after meditation.

Meditation brings transformation.

Remember, any meditation that one may do, never goes waste.

HEALTH CAN´T WAIT

 

Jack Ma Billionaire founder of Ali Baba said : If you put bananas and money in front of monkeys, monkeys will choose bananas, because monkeys do not know that money can buy a lot of bananas.

In reality, if you put money and health in front of people, people tend to choose money because too many people do not know that health can bring more money and happiness!

Nothing is valuable but health is the most valuable!
Everything can wait but health can't wait!

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
