ABOUT THE B OOK:

In the words of Saint Scholar Naranjan Singh Ji,

the purpose of this book is to make one worthy of

the love of God and to enable him to receive His

bounties.

Presented in simple English and easy to the eye

fonts, the contents will stir any reader's

thoughts.

This is significant as Sant Ji had always

emphasised on "CONTEMPLATION" .

Readers will be amazed at the simplicity in which

seemingly difficult aspects of Gurbani and Sikhi

are explained with ease using examples and

analogies.

It will answer most (if not all) of the thoughts

and questions that we keep harboured in our

minds.

A highly recommended read for all - Sikhs and

non Sikhs.

QUOTATIONS FROM THE BOOK:

We sometimes feel happy and satisfied with what

little we offer to Guru Ji by way of a beautiful

rumala. It is a good gesture. Sometimes we place

a few dollars before Guru Ji as an offering. Guru

Ji explains that this gesture is only the ABC of

Gurmat. This is to say that, for maybe many

years, some of us have not progressed beyond

the stage of reading ABC. In other words, this is

only the beginning of Gurmat.

One great endeavour of all the Sikh Gurus was to

pull back and reduce the importance of their

physical selves in favour of the importance of

worship of God, devotion to Him, remembrance of

His Name - the things which are emphasized

most in the contents of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

Ultimately this reduction and withdrawal of

physical selves was complete and Sri Guru Granth

Sahib Ji became the Guru containing all their

teachings.

The Lord only wants the offering(paytaa) of body

and mind. Sometimes we surrender our body but

keep the mind to ourselves. The mind does not

surrender. Have you ever thought what would

take place when we reach the end of our road?

Well, the body will be burnt to ashes which will

be scattered by the wind in four direction. We

wouldn't know where the wind is going to deposit

us finally. It would be much better if we could

find some fire while we are still alive and burn our

ego into ashes. This burning of our ego will lead

us to the Lord's mansion.

To be successful in both the material and spiritual

worlds, it is extremely important for the mind to

be powerful. In this spiritual field, the war with

our mind is a lifelong process.

Japji Sahib was composed by Sri Guru Nanak

Sahib Ji. It is meant to be recited daily. It offers

a spiritual remedy for all our ills. It is a highly

inspired verse and the thoughts expressed therein

are of eternal value and significance. Its recitation

is useful in more than one way. It enables us to

enjoy communion with God. It helps us to realize

the Truth and thereby make our life more

purposeful and contented. We realize our real

selves. The recitation of Japji Sahib removes the

delusions from our minds and sets us on the road

to discover the eternal mind - the creator of the

universe.

A BOUT THE B OOK:

As described by Sant Ji, the purpose of this book

is to liberate man from the three-fold sufferings,

namely:

1. Physical disease.

2. Mental disharmony.

3. Spiritual ignorance.

The presention is similar to Book 1 - in simple

English and easy to the eye fonts.

Every analogy and assertion is backed by quotes

from Gurbani - all explained in a simple easy to

understand style.

Sant Ji had always emphasised on

"CONTEMPLATION" and the contents inevitably

lead the reader towards self examination.

It also highlights repeatedly the most important

endeavour required of us - NAAM JAPNA (ie. the

practical aspect).

QUOTATIONS FROM THE BOOK:

Upon waking up early in the morning and opening

our eyes, we should repeat "Dhan Sri Guru Granth

Sahib Ji" five times, before proceeding to perform

anything else. This will ensure that we will always

be in correct frequency with Guru Ji, similar to a

bulb connected to the powerline. Our centre or

powerhouse is the Lord.

There are lakhs (hundreds of thousands) of

people who believe in living Gurus whereas Sri

Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Ji's last words to his

Khalsa were, that, 'Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is

your living Guru now'. This is the same Jyot (or

light) that was in the 10 Gurus. Shabad is the

Guru. Sad to say, there are very few people now

who have real faith in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji as

their eternal Guru.

In life, there are two things which one would be

wise to remember : one is the theory and the

other is the practise. For example : an engineer

may know everything theoretically about

engineering, but, as long as he is incapable of

carrying out construction work practically, so long

he would be unsuccessful in his work. Therefore

the principles of theory must be followed by

principles of practise.

    • 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.  
    • Author Posted April 24   On 4/21/2025 at 2:43 PM, ipledgeblue said: sirr should not be nanga because keski is usually worn.   Sikhs can sleep nanga-sirr if they choose to . 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?
