Dhan dhan Paarbrahm pita parmeshwar ji Baba ji Dassan dass ji, dearest Satsangat ji, please accept dandauth bandna from a maha kaami,maha krodhi, maha lobhi, maha mohi dog ji.
we thank you veer harjit ji for sharing your experiences, we also have this fearful nature. our relatives, friends,colleagues and bosses keep on talking and discussing false issues or the same old stories and beliefs with us but we just keep quiet and just smile and pray for them in our heart that baba ji blesses them too but don't have the courage to tear apart their wrong beliefs and trusts. sometimes we also agree and do what they say but on inside we know that this is not right but then think that they will feel dissappointed and offended. so we don't say anything and if we say also they are not ready to accept or listen. may Satnaam ji give us the courage to serve the TRUTH.
dandauth bandna ji.

Sat Naam Ji,Dandauth Bandhna jiAn artist said this about his work :Gormley said at the weekend he had achieved his goal of challenging perceptions of what constituted art.
"If it wasn't disturbing to people, it wouldn't be doing its job," he said.
"If it isn't contentious and doesn't get a mixed reaction, it's totally failing."
According to that definition , Baba Ji is the artist Divine! His wisdom still disturbs people who find it contentious and results in a mixed reaction.
Even now sending His divine wisdom on the emails has resulted in a few angry and abusive replies. First of all it hurts us a bit as there is a part of me that wants to be liked and popular.
But then we know that it is the Truth and Truth is rattling the thick layer of falsehood created by the religious bullshit some people have totally encased themselves in.
The very first time we met Baba ji he said things which we knew were true but had never dared to mention in our sikh society, we said that to Baba ji and he replied "if you know the Truth you have to share it, you cant keep quiet, that's not what Guru Gobind Singh ji wanted His Khalsa to be like." So we said to Baba ji that we are full of fear and Baba ji blessed us with a smile and a pat on the back. Since that day 6 years ago, circumstances have forced us to face all the ones we were afraid of - parents, wife, religious elders, managers at work, our own superstituous religious beliefs, all with faith in what we were saying is the Truth and if that means we lose our parents or our marriage or our job then so be it. But in the end everything has worked out fine and the bubbles of fear have burst. At the times we were telling the Truth and livng our Truth we did not always remain humble, mostly we shouted, got angry, stood our ground, pointed out our slanderers false beliefs and faced their wrath. But it must have struck them in the heart because they have all changed for the better. Having been challenged they have all changed (sooner or later) and mellowed out and adopted a "live and let live" attitude rather than the control game they were playing before - parents, wife, religion and mangers all trying to manipulate us through fear and guilt. If they didn't change or mellow out, then God has moved us away from them eg changed jobs. Dassan Dass ji said that when we have Truth behind us our words have power and is not considered to be anger, as written by Guru Nana k Dev ji in Japji "Karam Khand kee banee jor" - In the realm of Grace your WORDS have power. When we are blessed by our Guru and enter the realm of grace - Karam Khand, then our words have the power to shake off the filth of the false. dont be afraid to use this power.
So keep telling the Truth, have no fear in "disturbing" the ones who are in falsehood and be happy if they find it contentious and react badly. It means we have done a good job. The day we get into a comfort zone with everyone praising us and no one reacting to us, is the day we crawled back under the rock of complacency.
"What is false I will call false.
Even though the people may try to silence me.
I do not care for what anybody says.
I will speak but the truth from my mouth."
(Akali Nihang Guru Gobind Singh, Treh Charittar No.266, Dasam Guru Durbar)Dust of your feet

Re: [Truth] In the realm of Grace your WORDS have power.
Satnaam veer ji,
in the beginning we were so enthusiasatic at finding Dassan Dass ji and baba ji
we were just telling our parents and everyone (including from the gurdwara stage playing SATNAAM SATNAAM CD) about the divine meaning of the gyan and that we had found the ones that sukhmani is describing. We thought they would be excited as we were. But just like when Makhan Shah Labana climbed the rooftop in his enthusiasm and started telling everyone he had found the ninth Guru "Guru Ladho re, guru ladho reh" not everyone agrees. And then Guru Tegh bahadur ji was fired uppn by some of the 22 imposters who were claiming to be the ninth guru at village Bakala.
So it is that our parents and family and religious elders/relatives have decided that we were being mislead and that
their Guru and beliefs were being undermined, so they started on a policy of spreading slander and gossip about baba ji and our
sangat amongst all of our relatives and religious community and gurdwaras we attended.
We did not make effort to go and counter those accusations, except that when the situation arose with our parents or wife or
religious elders then God made us have the discussion or make the points or present the case to tell the Truth however it needed
to be told.
HE makes us do it all we have to do is give our tongue to HIm. When we went to meet baba ji, Mata ji told us that if we
are confronted by the unbelievers, before replying just say "Baba ji please come and speak from this tongue" and then answer.
You will be amazed what God will make you say to the other person. Sometimes you will just be talking what seems is normal to you, but the other person will just go quiet like an arrow has hit their heart. Why? Because God is making you sayEXACTLY what they need to hear to WAKE them up. Then they will think you are psycic or something, and you will think nothing of it. That is the power of "KARAM KHAND KEE BANEE JOR"
