Sikhi Game love 💛- ACHIEVING NOTHING THROUGH HYPOCRISY!

ACHIEVING NOTHING THROUGH HYPOCRISY!

"Paakha(n)dd praem n paaeeai khottaa paaj khuaar.

His Love is not obtained through hypocrisy. Her false coverings bring only ruin."

This a beautiful shabad by Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Guru Ji states, everyone claims to be the true soul brides of Guru Ji but when the time comes to settle their accounts, their red robes will look corrupt.

Guru Ji goes on to say, his true soul bride is decorated and ravished with the love of Vaheguroo's name. She is dyed in the deep Crimson of Vaheguroo's shabad. Her mind is pierced constantly with the Guru's love. The true lover lives forever and adorns Vaheguroo's love. He permeates her consciousness and the temple of the tenth gate is opened. The name of Vaheguroo becomes her everlasting necklace. She recognises no man, apart from her husband Vaheguroo.

Guru Ji then goes on to say, those who are a sleep throughout, how will they pass their life night without their husband Vaheguroo? Their limbs shall burn, their body shall burn and their mind alongside their wealth will also burn. When Vaheguroo doesn't enjoy the soul bride (us), her youth passes away in vain. We remain asleep on our beds, while our husband Vaheguroo lay awake waiting for us. How will we ever gain wisdom?

We all look beautiful in Guru Sahib Ji's bana (attire) and dastaar (turban) but are we equally as beautiful on the inside. Guru Ji knows who is beautiful on the inside and who is a hypocrite and the one that only looks beautiful on the outside. There is no need for this hypocrisy, as we don't achieve any peace, love or happiness from it. No one will respect us for it. The the true devotee of Vaheguroo is loved by all. Their fragrance and radiance is seen by all through the energy and love blistering through their eyes, body language and magnetic spirit.

Guru Nanak Dev Ji in the same shabad goes on to Say, "Sathigur maelee bhai vasee naanak praem sakhaae.

The True Guru has led me to meet Him, and now I dwell in the Fear of God. O Nanak, His Love is always with me."

Vaheguroo!

Game of love 💚- YOU ARE THE BELOVED OF ALL YOUR DEVOTEES!

YOU ARE THE BELOVED OF ALL YOUR DEVOTEES!

"Bhagath thaerae sabh praanapath preetham thoo(n) bhagathan kaa piaaraa.

You are the Beloved Lord of life of all Your devotees; You are the Beloved of Your devotees."

This is a beautiful Shabad by Guru Arjun Dev Ji. Guru Ji starts off by saying, only he obeys your will (Hukum), whom you are merciful. Only that worship is devotional and accepted which is pleasing to Guru Sahib Ji's will. My sovereign Vaheguroo, you are the only support of the saints that love you. No one other than Vaheguroo can support them, as no one understands them in the way Vaheguroo does.

Guru Ji goes on to say, Vaheguroo is kind, compassionate, he fills everyone's hopes but yet most people lack faith in him and try writing their own destiny. The next line shows the relationship between Vaheguroo and his devotees. Guru Ji says, Vaheguroo is the breath of life for those that love him. He is there beloved. They can not live without him for an instance. They would die without his remembrance. He pulls them through life easily, he resolves all their affairs.

Guru Arjun Dev Ji goes on praising Vaheguroo saying, he is unfathomable, lofty exalted and infinite. There is no one like him. Guru Ji says, he only has one prayer, and that is, may he never forget you Vaheguroo. Please fulfil this beggars prayer Vaheguroo. He sings your praises day and night, when will you come to meet him Vaheguroo? Nanak begs for the peace of your name. O Vaheguroo, as it pleases your will, you will eventually guide him to attain your beloved darshan (vision).

Guru Arjun Dev Ji Says this in the last line of this beautiful shabad, "Naam thaeraa sukh naanak maagai saahib thut(h)ai paavaa

Nanak begs for the peace of Your Name, O Lord and Master; as it is pleasing to Your Will, I shall attain it."

Vaheguroo!

Game of love ❤️- ALWAYS REMEMBERING GURU!

ALWAYS REMEMBERING GURU!

"Meray man Gur Gur Gur sadh kareeai

O my mind, dwell always upon the Guru, Guru, Guru."

Guru Sahib Ji has made it clear in Gurbaani, that one has to remember the Guru at all times. The above pangtee (line) and the whole of this shabad makes it clear. If we don't remember them at all times, life becomes a struggle and an uphill battle. His remembrance glides us through life effortlessly. His remembrance becomes a ras (taste), that we become intoxicated in. His remember then becomes a substance we fail to live without. His remembrance becomes our heart beat and breath of life!

I overheard a few Gursikhs speaking once and they said, when they first heard this shabad in a kirtan programme, it made them feel that Guru Sahib has clearly stated in this Shabad, that one who calls themselves a Sikh of the Guru should always remember their Guru at all times. This means with every breath. It made me feel so proud in listening to them and I wanted to hold the teachings close to my heart.

As life goes on and we grow older, we see our friends and family members leaving us. We see people in their day to day struggles. We see people with stressful and pressure filled jobs. We see people without food and shelter and we see people wanting to be better than others. And now science and the world has realised we have a cure called meditation which makes humans feel better about themselves and makes people feel more at peace and happier. It creates politer, loving, gracing and smarter individuals.

This cure was blessed to us by Guru Nanak Dev Ji 550 years ago. Are we all taking advantage of the most powerful substance to have ever cress this earth? It's free, theirs no cost for purchase. Try living by the Guru's teachings and see how your life changes for the better. How loving, positive and radiant you become. The whole world becomes your friend according to Gurbani. "Jo Har ka pyaaraa, so sabnaa ka pyaaraa."

In the same Shabad Guru Arjun Dev Ji goes on to say, "Jaethae saas graas man laethaa thaethae hee gun gaaeeai.

As many breaths and morsels as you take, O my mind - so many times, sing His Glorious Praises.

When the True Guru becomes merciful, then this wisdom and understanding is obtained.

O my mind, taking the Naam, you shall be released from the bondage of death, and the peace of all peace will be found."


Vaheguroo!

Game of love 💙- GURU SAHIB LISTENS!

GURU SAHIB LISTENS!

"Everyone chants the Lord's Name, Raam, Raam; but by such chanting, the Lord is not obtained.

By Guru's Grace, the Lord comes to dwell in the mind, and then, the fruits are obtained. ||1||

One who enshrines love for God within his mind, never forgets the Lord; he continually chants the Lord's Name, Har, Har, in his conscious awake mind". ||1||Pause||

Guru Amardas Ji 1479-1574.

When our mind is listening to Gurbani and Vaheguroo Gurmantar, this means Guru Gobind Singh Sahib ji is accepting and listening to the shabad we are reciting also. If our tongue repeats but our mind fails to hear and contemplate, this means Guru Sahib ji has not accepted the Shabad in dargaah sachkhand (gate of truth) and we fail to receive their thaapraa (blessings)..

Moral- always focus with single minded concentration when reciting Naam meditation and baani. Just repeating is not accepted. EVERY SINGLE call, chant to Vaheguroo should be a call of love and union for God, the supreme soul, as it is a separation of two souls. This leads to the emotion of bairaag (sincere longing and a cry of love), which ends in the state of Sehj (bliss, peace, poise and tranquility).

Vaheguroo!

Game of love 💛- APATHY!

APATHY!

As Sikhs we have become very lazy! We are lacking interest and enthusiasm.

The Sikh of the Guru, should rise early and purify their mind through the blessed mantra of Guru Sahib Ji’s Naam. Then they should read Gurbaani (Gurus teachings) and then go on to meditate throughout the day.

Let's question ourselves. Is this who we are? Do we live this life style? What causes us not to live this way? Guru Sahib has made it clear, the one who lives in this way will be the one Guru Ji blesses and liberates.

It's so easy to lose focus and stray from the path. It's so easy to lose enthusiasm and lack interest. There's only one substance in which will keep us steadfast on this path and that is the Naam meditation of God’s name (Vaheguroo).

When one emerges in to the Naam through single minded concentration and it begins to resound within their mind 24/7, this is when one begins to realise the true wealth of Sikhi. Up until then, we are more balanced than most individuals but still remain on highs and lows, as the mind’s thoughts are not always controlled through Naam.

We should all do ardaas in front of Guru Sahib Ji to bless us with this blessed state of Sehj (intuitive peace, poise and tranquility). The mind is stilled, emotions are controlled. The mind is not affected by any negativity. Totally at peace with its self. One has realised the true being which is the inner self.

For the one who has conquered their mind, the mind is the best of friends; but for one who has failed to do so, his very mind will be his greatest enemy.

Guru Amardas Ji Says, "Eae man aalas kiaa karehi guramukh naam dhhiaae, har bhagath har kaa piaar hai jae guramukh karae beechaar ||

O mind, why are you so lazy? Become Gurmukh, and meditate on the Naam.

Devotion to the Lord is love for the Lord. The Gurmukh reflects deeply and contemplates."

Vaheguroo!

Game of love 💚- NAAM DRUG!

NAAM DRUG!

Many people take drugs to create a phycological high for themselves. Many people take drugs, because they are not happy with life and many people turn to drugs, when there is nothing going for them in life and they have hit rock bottom.

Drugs give us a temporary mental high/boost. This doesn't last long at all, maybe a few hours. The after effects of these drugs are a massive low, as the human body is not used to being on a high full of medicine and drugs for so long. The mind can not cope with this. There has to be some give somewhere and that results in the body and mind coming down from them. So basically, it's a temporary boost that individuals think they can turn to, to bring them a mental excitement and happiness for a few hours.

I have spoken to a few Gursikhs, who used to take drugs before coming in to Sikhi and they say, the taste and ecstasy of Naam is much much greater than the temporary boost of drugs.

Guru sahib Ji says in Gurbaani, Naam is an everlasting drug in which keeps one on a natural ecstatic high for many life times and in the end liberates the individual. There is no substance equivalent to it. The reason why Guru Sahib Ji uses the analogy of drugs in Gurbaani is, because once tasted and experienced it can never be forgotten. One wants more and more and would end up dying, if they ever lost the Naam. It's a drug that one can never come off and it will remain with the individual throughout their soul’s journey.

If you want this permanent drug in your life, go and beg for it in the Amrit sanchaar ceremony and the five beloved ones will bless you with Naam, baani and Gursikhi Jivan.

Naam meditation is the most truest and purest intoxicant ever experienced and it will go on to purify your mind and liberate your soul.

Guru Ramdas Ji Says, "jio bin amalai amalee mar jaaee hai thio har bin ham mar jaathee ||

Like the addict who dies without his drug, I die without the Lord."

Vaheguroo!
