Love is the key
dandauth bandhana ji
love is the key.
To love God is hard, so He resides in the heart of the Sant-Guru.
The spiritual heights the Budda reached through his lifetimes of almighty inner struggle, Bhai Lehna ji reached within 2 years of Falling in love with Guru Nanak Dev ji's sweet words and lotus feet.
Dassan Dass Ji also fell in love with Baba Ji at just hearing about him and completed his spiritual journey within two years.
Everything you have done so far is not a waste, please do not get frustrated, it has got you this far, direct contact iwth God in the heart of Dassan Dass Ji. Now build your relationship, build you sachee preet, sacha sharda, sach vishvaas, let love carry you through. Let seeing your satn-guru in everyheart bring love into your heart wherever you go. Let every action of yours become a love filled truthful action in service of your satguru. Focus on every shoe you wipe being satguru nanak dev ji's shoe, being the shoes of dassan dass ji, love those shoes like bhai lehna ji loved guru nanak, like dassan dass ji loves baba ji. Love washing those dishes like bhai lehna ji loved washing guru nanak dev ji's dishes. Love doing your work and your colleagues like they are baba nanak and dassan dass ji. Look in the mirror and see your satguru - jeeo pind sabh tera - this mind and boyd and soul and wealth are all yours. Speek sweetly and kindly. Melt other peoples heart and Satnaam will melt the obstacles in your own heart. Live to serve others until your whole reason for living is to serve wether you get any spiritual rewards or not - leave that in god-Gurus hands to bless you as and when he wishes. Become the dog at the Sant-Guru's table and humbly serve and obey every command and accept whatever scraps fall from the table. Read gurbani, or this website and take even one line and put it into practise. Earn it and only then move on to the next line. Take one line like
tunn munn dhan sabh saup gur kau
hukam mannio paaiaa ..guru amar das ji
and earn it
give body
give mind
give wealth
give everything practically
give body in serviice of everyone as satguru like bhai lehna ji did.
Give mind by keeping it focused on Satnaam Satnaam at every moment, and not just mechanical repition, say it with feeling, say it with love, say it in your heart whilst feeling you are massaging baba nanak ji or dassan dass ji's feet, say it like you would say your lovers name. Know that Satnaam is real living being, say it like that. Talk to the trees, thank God for the sun, praise nature, praise your Guru -thisis called sifat salah ...look at the sun and say satguru ji , just like ths sun comes out and shines love upon everyone equally and takes away the darkness, satguru ji come into my heart and take away all the darkness and fill it with naam.
Get up and breathe the air, thank the air for supportign your body, and thank Satnaam in the Satguru for supporting tha air.
Thank the water for supporting your body and thank Satnaam in the Satguru for supporting the water.
Thank great mother earth for supporting us all, for giving us a chance to walk in this human frame on this Earth Temple and to do bhagti, and then thank Satnaam in the Satguru for supporting the Earth.
See Satnaam inside your Satguru. Fall in love with your Satguru. Pray to Satnaam Satguru to fill your heart with love, love and more love, kindnes, kindness and more kindness, keep confessing all your bad deeds, bad thoughts, keep praying every 5 minutes as in this ardas by dassan dass ji
http://www.satnaam.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=59&Itemid=14
Do simran with happiness and love, like a flower in the sunshine that doesnt expect anything, it only shines bright in the sunshione, it give fragrance to one and all and the bees come to it, it doesnt chase any desires. Become like that flower. do your simran with so mcuh love for satguru ji's feet, that satguru ji, that satnaam in the heart of the satguru, of the sant comes running to pick you up and hug you to his chest.
aasee preet karo man meray
ut pahar jano prabh neray
...have such a love o my mind
that you realise the Lord is with you at every moment...guru arjun dev ji
And thirdly give wealth, give everything to god-Guru, the needy, the poor, if you cant give everything then start with giving daswand if you dont already, and give until it hurts, give until the fear of "where will moeny come from" leaves you and faith that satguru takes care of everything enters into you.

Fastest way to God
Dhan Dhan Sat Naam Ji,
A humble dandauth to the holy charans of gur, guru and sat sangat ji.
With gur parsaad these thoughts came to our mind in the early moning before we started the meditation:
Fastest way to become immortal (never to die again) is to quickly die while yet living.
Fastest way to become light (gurmukh) is to quickly surrender the heavy weight of your body, mind and wealth (tan, man and dhan) at the sat charans (lotus feets) of the Guru.
Fastest way to acquire the universal wisdom (braham gyan) is to quickly lose your self wisdom, worldy wisdom and evil wisdom.
Fastest way to know the outside world is to quickly turn your mind inward and realize the inside world.
Fastest way to get out of the shackles of maya is to quickly get in to the shackles of gur and guru (become one with gur and guru).
Fastest way to get all your desires fullfilled is to quickly become desireless by becoming sat santokhi (contentment that SAT is with us, in us and all is SAT )
Fastest way to become highest of the high is quickly become lowest of the low.
Fastest way to merge in to the heart of the guru is to quickly merge in to the lotus feet of the guru.
Fastest way to unload the loads of sins and mistake is quickly off load it by accpeting your mistakes and asking for forgiveness from gur and guru.
Fastest way to drink the amrit of the highest order is to quickly become the dust of the feet of the entire creation.
Fastest way to completely trust your guru is to quickly understand/realize and see GOD in GURU and treat them as one.
Fastest way to love the entire creation is to quickly understand/realize and see GOD/GURU in the entire creation.
All of the above realization to anyone is only and only possible with gur parsaad and gir kirpa of gur and guru and nothing else.
Dust of your feet Sat Naam ji.
Aape aap.

Guru Nanak Dev Ji in Bagdad, Fearless With "Satnaam"
Firstly, Baba himself was in the form of Timeless and secondly,
he had his companion Mardana, the rebeck player.
For namaz (in his own style), Baba gave call,
listening to which the whole world went into absolute silence.
The whole city became quiet and lo! to behold it,
the pir (of the town) also got wonderstruck.
Observing minutely he found (in the form of Baba Nanak) an exhilerated faquir.
Pir Dastegir asked him, which category of faquir you belong to
and what is your parentage.
(Mardana told) He is Nanak, who has come into kaliyug,
and, he recognises God and His faquirs as one.
He is known in all the directions besides earth and sky.
The pir debated and came to know that this faquir is much more powerful.
Here in Baghdad he has shown a great miracle.
Meanwhile he (Baba Nanak) talked about myriads of netherworlds and skies.
Pir Dastegir asked (the Baba) to show him whatever he had seen.
Guru Nanak Dev taking along with him the son of the pir, melted into thin air.
And in a wink of eye visualized him the upper and lower worlds.
From the nether world he brought a bowl full of sacred food and handed it over to pir.
This manifest power (of the Guru) cannot be made to hide.
After making Baghdad, the citadel (of pirs) bow, Mecca, Madina, and, all were humbled.
He (Baba Nanak) subjugated and eighty four siddhs
and the hypocrisies of the six schools of Indian philosophy.
Lacs of underworlds, the skies, earths and the whole world were conquered.
Subjugating all the nine divisions of earth
he established the cycle of SATNAAM, the Truth name.
All the gods, demons, raksasa, daitys, Chitragupt et al. bowed at his feet.
Indra and his nymphs sand auspicious songs.

A Marriage Made In "Sach Khand"
by Harjit with Guru's blessing
I was a lonely soul girl, living at in my Maya home with my worldy parents. My father Fear was quite dominating and I never wandered out alone to find True Love. My friends : Anger, Pride, Lust , Greed and Attachment and hobbies : Desire, Jealousy and Slander helped me to pass the time, but as I got older I could no longer ignore the feelings in my heart. I met an older girl in ainternet chatroom and she told me her story and how she found True Love and was happily married. So I stayed out late one night to go and meet her. She was so happy and told me her Husband was sitting on her bed, and when she looked in the bed of my heart she said "Yes, I can see you're still lying their alone, still looking for True Love." She also told me that her husband had a great harem with millions of happy wives and I could join the harem too. It sounded to good to be true and when I got home my father Fear gave me a scolding. He made me feel so small and worthless and I just crawled back into my box.But a few more years went by and my friends had betrayed me many times so i didn't trust them anymore. And my hobbies were just not interesting anymore. I told my Father I was no longer scared of him and he should arrange my marriage or I would find True Love myself. He frightened me with his words of what could happen if I went out alone and that I belonged to him and had to live under his control. But dying was better than living with this unbearable ache as I lay alone on the bed of my heart. I ran away and slammed the door shut on my wordly parents , friends and hobbies. I ran through the streets with screaming and shouting, I saw my reflection I was a short, ugly girl, my hair was a mess, my clothes were dirty - who was ever going to marry me? So as I sat their sobbing, the older wife from the chatroom came and picked me up. I told her I had no where else to go and that I had left behind all my friends, hobbies and parents. She hugged me and took me to her house.
It was amazing, there were so many beautiful gurmukh brides there. Each decorated perfectly , smiling and blissful. They sat me down and fussed over me. They told me how to become a forever bride a SADA SUHAGAN as they called it. I touched their feet, no that wasn't enough to show my appreciation for taking me in, I pressed my forehead on their feet and lay flat like a stick at their feet. As I got up I applied some makeup - the dust of their feet - on my face. They took the jewels of their Husband's Word and strung them together around my neck and said keep these jewles close to your heart, the Husband will be pleased with you. The touched my forehead and blessed me saying look through this every morning in the early hours and watch eagerly for your husband to come home.
Then they sat me in the carriage and ast all around, talking about how their own marriages were performed and all the wonderful experiences they had had since. They said it all started with doing true deeds and rejecting the five bad friends and wordly family and nasty hobbies as I had. Then they met the vichola - the middle man, they called him the SatGuru. He had arranged thousands of marriages to the Husband and now they took me to see him. I was so excited , surrounded on all sides by the Gurmukh brides, they told me what to say and how to behave. To be humble and loving, to bow my head in respect and touch the Satguru's feet and to totally surrender to his word.
The Gurmukh brides went in first and met the SatGuru, they fell at his feet and lay flat like a stick, how could they ever repay Him for what he had done for them? Again and again they were a sacrifice to the Satguru. So I copied them and felt very humble too. They introduced me and he was pleased with my devotion and committment. I told him I too wished to be a SADA SUHAGAN but was just a lonely girl, DU-HAGAN. He took pity on me and said he would put in a good word for my with the Husband. I had heard whatever the SatGuru says becomes true, whatever marriage he says will be performed happens, so I was very pleased and couldn't stop smiling inside. Then he said on my part I had to start replacing the ache in my heart with love the Husbands name. And the name the Husband had chosen for himself at the very beginning was TRUTH or SAT, infact I should just remember the One Husband whose Naam is "Sat" (Ek Oankar Sat Naam) with love with my inner voice and look through the window in the middle of my forehead. He gave me the Sat Guru's blessing, GUR PRASADI NAAM and said REMEMBER TRUTH , do TRUE DEEDS and you will become TRUTHFUL. That pleases the Husband more than anything else.
I was so happy, my engagement ceremony had happened. My Satguru had arranged the marriage, the Husband was happy to go through with it and all I had to do was to keep calling out his name inside me and to keep looking through the window and waiting contentedly for as many days and months as it would take.
All the gurmukh brides and I went home singing the praises and talking of the wonder and amazement of it all. They told me before it rains there are many signs, change in the wind, colder air, chirping birds, rustling leaves. And I too would know when the Husband would be arriving on the bed of my heart to perform the divine union and fill me with True Love. There would be an invisible band playing the five sounds like wind, percussion and strings. There would be divine light and sweet drops of amrit, there would be LOVE sweet LOVE. So now I sing the praises and await the day, and stand here with the wedding dress of spiritual humility and love for the NAAM. Infact I remember seeing the Husband once, but I was an ignornant bride then and turned him away while I played with my 5 friends and wasted time on my hobbies and was content with living under the roof of Father Fear. But I wouldn't be making the same mistake twice.

Hey Veer Ji,
Thank you too for letting me into your Sangat and time take to write
the email below. Wow you went into smadhi. That sounds amazing!
I learnt alot by doing your sangat last friday. Now its all about
putting your words into practice and declare war with the five inside
of me.
One of the things that I was told on friday was not to have any
desires of smadhi or to hear the five shabads, but doesnt this
contradict with what bhagat Kabeer is saying in Gurbani:
ਕਹੁ ਕਬੀਰ ਹਰਿ ਚਰਣ ਦਿਖਾਵਹੁ ॥
कहु कबीर हरि चरण दिखावहु ॥
Kaho Kabīr har cẖaraṇ ḏikẖāvhu.
Says Kabeer, O Lord, please reveal to me Your Lotus Feet;
ਪਾਛੈ ਤੇ ਜਮੁ ਕਿਉ ਨ ਪਠਾਵਹੁ ॥੩॥੩੨॥
पाछै ते जमु किउ न पठावहु ॥३॥३२॥
Pācẖẖai ṯe jam ki▫o na paṯẖāvhu. ||3||32||
after that, go ahead and send me to my death. ||3||32||
In the shabad the above bhagat Kabeer Ji wants darshan. Isnt that a desire?
Also, I really thought about what you said about using simran as
escapism and remembered I had these desires way before the probs at
home started...
I would like to come again into sangat sometime. I'll let Satty know,
I have his number now.
Gur Fateh,
Satnam.

satnaam jidandauth bandhana jiglad we didnt scare you off!!!but I just have so much love for you, I know you can do it, I only see myself in you and know you can pull yourself out of the 40foot well full of the scum of maya.Become free of desires for maya.Replace with desire for Gurprasadi Naam, for singing Gods praises, for serving the Creator in every heart, in every living creature. Desire to become such a servant that you forget who you are, what you are and why you even came onto this path.seva karat hoi nikaamee, tis sevak hoth prapat swamee...doing seva become desire-free, in such a servant the Master manifests ..sukhmaniIts a really difiicult balance, desire for bhagati and naam and seva and selflessness is a great thing,desire for specific things like opening dassuma duar, hearning anhad vajay and so on can become maya. Become nothing, sacrifice everything for naam and to the one who eanred the naam and blessed us with it out of their earnings, become nothing and naam knows its own way through this body and mind, like a river knows its way down the mountain - it doesnt need a map or any targets, it just knows deep down to keep going down, down down ....dandauth dandauth danadauth to all 14 realms of Creation.Please do come again, please keep praying forgurprasad of naam, naam simran, naam dee kamaee (earning naam), selfless seva, parupkar (big generous heart to help others) and maha parupkar (to save others by giving them naam).dust of your feetHarjit

taranjeet: please forgive this fool jee we fool keep on doing nindya (slander) of our work place and get into this filfthy race
me: slander=hell (nindya=narak) for our mind, then it takes years to clean up the damage
Keep washing everyones feet , why look up in ego when guru ji has asked to be servant of all? Infact, the servant still expects pay, but Guru ji wants us to be slave with no expectation of anythng in return. Keep praying that others tell us the truth about ourself. Keep praying that we are shown our own weaknesse and that we can bear to hear them, otherwise ego gets offended when someone tells us our weaknesess.
As many drops as there are in the ocean are as many faults we have. How can we ever become pure enough? How can we ever do anything at all? Just surrender. Just give it all up to God-Guru.
"waho waho sachay ma teree tek, hau papee thoo nirmal ek"
Wondrous , wondrous Truth Lord, I seek your refuge,
for I am a sinner and only You are the perfect pure One. Guru Nanak Ji
Surrender, give up, fall flat, become nothing so naam can become everything.
"Aap gaavaaiaa ta shahu paaiaa, aur kaysee chaturaaee"
Losing ones sense of self, the Lord is realised, what other technique is needed? …Guru Nanak Ji.
I read the meaning of Khalsa before Guru Gobind Singh ji used the word. It meant "a piece of land that was under direct control of the Moghul emperor." There was no landowner in between. Our ego thinks the field of this mind and body is under its own control. But ego just needs to surrender control to the Supreme Emperor. Then we become Khalsa and belong to SatNaam WaheGuru and that is the greatest victory. (Satnaam ji ka khalsa satnaam ji kee fateh!)
taranjeet: yes your soothing blessing is making our heart blossom with love oh satnaam jee.
me: become nothing like a ray of the sun. Become as light as the air. Become free like the gentle breeze. Become sweet like the fragrance that attracts the bee, that attracts God.
Become the cool raindrop gently soothing the dry soil. Stop pushing ourselves onto the world and trying to control others. Just become invisible like God himself serving the creation at all times without us even knowing or apprecitating. Become sin-free. Become weightless.
taranjeet: i luv u satnaam jee
i luv u satnaam jee

"gursikha kee har dhoor deh hum papee bhee ghat paai."
May I have the dust of the feet of the Guru's Sikhs, so that a sinner like me can be saved…Gurbani..
All your love and sweetness and affection, we are passing onto dassan das ji and baba ji, may they bless you always and forever ji.

The best siddhi of all, power over the self!
,,The best siddhi of all, power over the self!''
what really does this means:)
and i heard that there are 18 ocult powers that it bestows:)
still the one to have power over myself sounds great:)
REPLY FROM HARJIT:
(Bhai Gurdas Ji Var 1)
Then the holy men tried to use their Supernatural powers (Sidhees) again but they found they had all been taken away by God. They fell at the Guru's feet in humility and humbly asked to be blessed with the greatest gift of Naam - SatNaam. While there is EGO we chase after desires, including desires for occult powers. when there is no ego, then all that is left is the Truth - SAT NAAM. Ask yourself, what would you rather have - all the created powers, or the Creator?
