be a flower in the sunshine

SatNaam ji,

 

one thing we have found has helped us come out of our own negativity recently is this : let it go.

 

Even trying TOO HARD on spiritual pursuits, only caused us further negativity, due to unfulfilled expectations.

 

In fact we vaguely remember a dream the other night, where we realised to let go of all expectations of anything at all.

 

We have a very strong image in our mind now of just being like a flower in the sunshine.

 

As simple as that.

 

A flower doesnt care about past or future, nor does it care what is happening to it, it just blossoms and blooms in the sunshine.

Enjoys the sunshine and gives fragrance to one and all.

 

As simple as that.

 

 

That is what we feel like now.

 

Just completely let go of every thing , past, present and future.

 

Forget about reading books and even spiritual knowledge - we have more than enough already and its just became another weight on the mind.

 

Just trust in the Guru-Sun, that He is taking care of us, his flower, and he is already arranging for us in the future, things we cannot even imagine.

 

So trust in Guru-sun, sing with your heart, open your arms wide and welcome Satnaam into your heart, be that flower in the sunshine.

 

Let it all go, whatever the mind is occupied with, and then the mind relaxes, it goes from a closed mind to an open mind,  and keep ding those things and have those thoughts that bring beauty into your mind eg on seeing the sun, say "dear guru ji, you shine like the sun on one and all, you are kind to everyone, everything blooms for your, all the birds sing for you, all the stars shine for you, all the galaxies spin for you."  See guru in the smallest of things all day long, eg on combing your hair or washing your face, feel that it is guru ji kindly combing your hair and washing your face - these hands are His hands.  When you preaper the food, say to guru ji, I am preparing this for You, when eating the food say, "Guru ji you are feeding us, may we always love SatNaam more than we love the taste of food - even the dry bread of a saint is better than a kings delicacies."  When ironing your clothes, say "Guru ji we are ironing your clothes."  when gardening, say, "Guru ji, this is your garden , you take care of all the plants and creatures and water them.  Guru ji you are our garener, you weed out the 5 thieves, you plant the sed of naam , you water it with your divine wisdom and you nurture us into a beautiful flower."

 

You get the idea, get rid of the negativity in every aspect of your life and replace with "sift salah - praises" as described above.  You go from a closed mind, that is complaining about / down about what has happened to us and whatever else, and go to being a flower in the sunshine, open mind and a heart that blossoms.

 

God-Guru bless you ji,

 

dust of your feet
