Game of love 💜- AGE OF DARKNESS!

AGE OF DARKNESS!

Bhai Mardhana saw a man, who was wrapped up in a shawl with holes in it. He asked him, who he was. He said, "I am Kaljug (the age of darkness), I make people lust with these eyes and eat/talk filth with this toungue. I control all their senses."

Bhai Mardhana said, "You can only do that to the weak, who have no control over their minds, as they have no Naam meditation to control their senses and thoughts."

Bhai Mardhana then noticed lots of holes in his shawl and asked, "Why have you got so many holes in your shawl?"

Kaljug replied, "Just like you said, I tried to control the minds of those that meditated on Naam but they pierced through me as though I never existed. This is the reason I have these holes in my shawl."

Vaheguroo!

The mind is very weak, it is controlled by the mind's desires (maya/kaljug). Kaljug is the state of our mind, we need to revert it back to Satjug (the age of truth and true love for Vaheguroo). The only substance which can control and conquer this filthy mind is the Name of God. Repetition of the Name, replaces all thoughts and purifies our senses. One's mind becomes balanced and controlled by the True Guru's teachings of Naam Meditation. Then, the eyes only begin to see God in all. The ears only yearn to hear positive and listen to Vaheguroo's praises, and the tongue only loves to speak positive Praise of God and their Creation. All negativity disappears from within.

Guru Amardas Ji Says, "The True Guru is imbued with the Naam, the Name of God; He is the boat in this Dark Age of Kali Yuga."

Vaheguroo!

Game of love 💙- LIBERATED WHILST ALIVE

LIBERATED WHILST ALIVE

Bhai Mardhana went to a village, where he met Saarsarai the jeweller and his servant Adharka. Saarsarai showed him a beautiful jewel. Mardhana asked, "What is the price of this?"

Saarsarai said, "Beyond your reach, it's priceless."

Mardhana said, "let me take you to meet my Guru, Guru Nanak, he'll show you a priceless jewel."

All three of them went to meet Guru Ji. Guru Nanak caught Adharkas (the servants) eye, Adharka fell to Guru Nanak’s feet. Guru ji put his hand on his head and Adharka started japping Naam (meditating on Gods name) with every breath, great love and found true peace in an instance. Guru Ji blessed him.

Saarsarai said, "Please bless me with this Naam also Guru Ji."

Guru Ji replied, "This is the true priceless jewel, you need to be loving and humble to receive it. It won't settle in your heart, you need to put your ego aside. Put your head in your servant's feet."

Saarsarai responded, "How can I do that? He's served me all his life by washing my clothes and dishes. I've fed him throughout his life."

"That is why the name won't settle in your heart," uttered Guru ji. "You have too much ego!"

Naam is beautiful, many of us meditate on it but it only settles in the heart of a few. Those that consider themselves to be lowly and the dust of all, receive the true benefits of naam. The naam pierces through their hearts, never leaves them and purifies their mind and actions throughout this life. One is liberated whilst alive and finds true peace within (jeevan mukht).

Guru Ramdas Ji Says, "The humble servants of my Lord and Master are unattached and liberated. They are like ducks, whose feathers do not get wet."

Vaheguroo!

Game of love 💛- CHARDEEKALLAH (rising spirits)

CHARDEEKALLAH (rising spirits)

Guru's Sikhs should always be in chardeekallah (high spirits)! Our spirits should always be rising. We should never be on a low. The Nitnem (daily prayers) we do and the daily routine of our Naam Abhiyaas, (practise) should keep our spirits rising. Through it our character should build as a pure, loving human being of every virtue God has.

We spend too much time judging and praising others jivans (spiritual lives) and forget about doing the ghaalnaa (hard graft) and kamaaee (earning the profit) we were supposed to do. Our jivan should be that of true Naam Ras (unbearable taste of naam meditation) at all times (24/7), Which should show on our chehraa (face). This is not always red and radiant. It differs for individuals. In some, it shows a Raunak (freshness). Some it shows a shine and on some it shows their glassy, glistening eyes. Some go quiet, some become more active and energetic. Our jivan becomes that of just to love, support and help others. One doesn't bother about getting hurt, as the only thing that gets hurt is our ego. This is when we know Guru sahib is blessing us with Naam Ras.

When every Gursikh in the Panth (Those on Gurus Path) realises the above, Guru Sahib will bless us with Khalsa Raj (the pure minded, spiritual beings to rule). When each of us conquer our mind, the universe will become ours also.

Guru Gobind Singh Ji Says, "When my Khalsa remain pure, then I will give them my all (the universe). When they follow their own mind, I will not be there to protect & support them."

Vaheguroo!

Game of love 💚- MEAT/FLESH

MEAT/FLESH

I was driving to work today and something I saw made me write this poem!!

I WONDER IF THEY KNOW....

Crammed into lorries they cry out in separation,

Cooped up in small spaces with little ventilation.

From their caring mother they have had to let go,

I wonder if they know...

Arriving at unfamiliar places,

Loaded off with panicked faces.

Huge psychological torture they undergo,

I wonder if they know....

Inside the slaughterhouse they are made to wait,

For showing distress the beating is great.

They are hit with sticks and their pain really shows,

I wonder if they know...

They watch their family being murdered for their meat,

With chains they are hung upside down from their feet.

As others watch on, hearing screams and moans,

I wonder if they know....

The time comes for them to meet their fate,

What crime have they done with a punishment so great.

The knife is inserted and the blood flows,

I wonder if they know....

An everyday story of an animals life,

To satisfy the human they must face the knife.

Just like the Jews were herded onto trains,

their fate unknown and no one to explain.

Animals face the same torture everyday,

for this pain and suffering we must surely pay.

Think before you eat! How would you feel,

If you had to experience such an ordeal.

Your body is not a graveyard,

It's the temple of God,

With care and compassion where love is stored.

Do we not feel the suffering and pain of these animals? We eat meat to satisfy our own taste buds yet forget about all the torture we are held accountable for. When we eat flesh, we are accountable for all the karma the animal has brought with it into this life. We eat all the rubbish the animal has also digested. How would we feel if our loved ones were killed and eaten? Have we forgotten we are Sikhs (the army of God) and we are supposed to see God in all? Have we forgotten that a human being should be compassionate to all beings?

To eat flesh is a NO NO! No Sikh should tell you otherwise!

Bhagat Kabir Ji Says, "You say that the One Lord is in all, so why do you kill chickens?

O Mullah, tell me: is this God's Justice?

The doubts of your mind have not been dispelled. You have not understood spiritual wisdom and compassion."

Vaheguroo!

Game of love ❤️- THE TRUE STATE OF LOVE 3

THE TRUE STATE OF LOVE 3
Continued!

What does the love of God do to our being?

Our body is filled with totally pure, loving, positive energy. This energy creates an aura, which other spirits naturally become attracted to. Our eyes start to shine and are imbued with love. This is also an attraction for other humans, seeing true love and genuinity in the eyes of others. One way of relating to this, is through a worldly situation. Man thinks he falls in love with a Women, his eyes show affection towards the opposite gender. A Gursikh’s eyes are always imbued in Vaheguroo's love (naam ras) Athai Pehar (24/7). One perfect example that springs to mind is late Bhai Rama Singh Jee, from Southall, UK. Gursikhs are also blessed with lalee (radiant faces) or a glow, this is also an attraction for other humans. When the mind reaches a state of total Naam Ras, (pure love through Naam 24/7) then whatever one touches, sees or feels is also blessed through Naam. Anything this Gurmukh desires will come true.

Guru Ramdas Ji Says, "Man Chindiarra  Phal Paaeaa Mere Govinda, Gur pooraa vekh vigas jeeo. I have obtained the fruits of my mind's desires, O my Lord of the Universe; I am transfixed with ecstasy, gazing upon the Perfect Guru."

Naam Ras also creates a genuine smile on the Gurmukh, who is imbued in the sublime essence of Naam. The way he/she walks, talks and conducts themselves is totally different from normal human beings. "Bhagtaa Kee Chaal Niraalee (The way of the Saints is most distinct)," Anand Sahib sermon). In this stage, one’s way of thinking and physically doing becomes very slow, aware and focussed. One is in total control of their mind, pure love pores out of their being, as God is love. This Gurmukh reaches a beautiful stage of Sehaj (intuitive peace, poise, Nirvaana). Everything he/she does in this worldly life is blessed. Life becomes very easy, relaxed and stress free. The spirit is free and the mind is purified. Most spiritual people call this the golden age, as this is where all our karma is paid back effortlessly and it becomes the last human life one experiences before their soul is liberated.

Guru Amardas Ji Says, Meditating on the Naam, the mind becomes pure, the Door of Liberation is found.

Game of love 💜- THE TRUE STATE OF LOVE 2

THE TRUE STATE OF LOVE 2

People in general, always talk about love but most people who talk about love, have no clue how powerful this word really is. It should not be used as loosely as it does. The love we know about in general, is more attachment in reality. To know about love, we have to experience it first. This only comes from contemplating and meditating on Naam, bringing our self closer to our soul and recognising our mind.

When we meditate on Gods name continuously, Naam becomes a natural contemplation. Most say it's very difficult; It's only difficult because in reality, we are not willing to put the time and effort in to practicing it. Nothing is achieved without time and effort. It is nothing to worry about, just keep on meditating Athai Pehar (24/7).

The word love means, to love something more than ourselves i.e, sidelining our ego by the love of God’s name. Singh Sahib Yogee Harbhajan Singh says, “love is the experience of sacrifice in one’s self”.

Bhai Sahib Bhai Kanaeiya Jee was an embodiment and shining example of love. This is one Saakhee (story) that probably all of us know. When the Mughals were in battle with Gursikhs, Bhai Sahib Jee went around with a sack of water and quenched the thirst of most, if not all injured soldiers on the battle field, regardless of whether they were Muslims or Sikhs. The Sikhs complained to Guru Jee, that Bhai Sahib was helping the Muslims in battle. Guru Jee in turn questioned Bhai Sahib. Bhai Sahib said, "I only gave water to where I saw your roop (face)." Guru Jee is Ghat Ghat Ke Antar Kee Jaanat (the knower of all hearts), he embraced Bhai Sahib with a hug and said "This is my true Sikh." The Muslims were humbled by this amazing human being and did not have it in them to attack the embodiment of love. Bhai Sahib must have reached the amazing state of oneness with God. Only Vaheguroo knows.

Guru Ramdas Ji Says, "One whose mind loves the Lord, Har Har, obtains supreme peace. He reaps the profit of the Lord's Name, the state of Nirvaanaa."

Vaheguroo!

Game of love 💙- THE TRUE STATE OF LOVE!

THE TRUE STATE OF LOVE!

Guru Gobind Singh Ji Says, "Jin Prem Keeo Tinn Hee Prabh Paaeo,." The one who loves the Lord, i.e loves the Lords creation, will no doubt become one with Vaheguroo (God).

A physical and spiritual state of love is the most beautiful state of mind one can attain.

How do we reach this state of mind?
Only through Simran (meditation). When we contemplate the name of God Athai Pehar (24/7 hours) Saas Saas (with every breath) in the mind, the mind body and soul are transformed in to this state of love.

Guru Arjun Dev Ji Says, "Har Jupeeai Aaraadheeai Aath Pehur Govindh"
Chant the Lord's Name and contemplate the Lord of the World, twenty-four hours a day.

This state of mind is not easily attained, it could take many many life times and a lot of Abhiyaas (practise). To love God's name, we listen to the lord's name in our minds (inner ears) with contemplation, eg Vaa he Gu roo, (great is the Guru), this is what the Shabad Vaheguroo means. Once we can train our mind in to listening and contemplating at the same time, we will be blessed with Prem Ras (taste of true love), Naam Ras (taste of the True Name), Amrit Ras (travels from our navel-1st chakra to our 6 chakra- tenth gate, after accepting baptism and devoting our life to meditation). Once we have tasted these Ras's, then other worldly tastes seem very very bitter.

Guru Nanak Dev Ji Says, "Gurumukh Mun Sumujhaaeeai Aathum Raam Beechaar.
The Gurmukhs train their minds to contemplate the Lord, the Supreme Soul.

Har Rus Bin Sabh Suaadh Fikureeaa.
But without the sublime essence of the Lord, all tastes are tasteless."

Vaheguroo!
