Just sharing and email we sent earlier:
==========
SatNaam ,
Dandauth Bandhna ji.
You sound like life is very hectic. Just remember even calling or meeting Baba ji or any Sant physically is preordained, meaning it is written by God when we meet the Sants.
Bhaag hoa gur sant milaaiaa.
Prabh abinasee ghar meh paaiaa.
...Meaning only by great good fortune did I meet the Sant-Guru.
Then I realised the Indestructible Lord within myself. - Gurbani.
So you maybe regretting that you have been too busy to call Baba ji so far and will do so in the future, but really that is just our worldly explanation.
It will happen when its destined to happen. All we can really do is humble ardas (Gareebee Ardas as Baba ji calls it). When we do humble ardas we are talking to our SatGuru. Baba ji said every ardas of his Sangat goes through his body to God (just as any ardas of any sangat goes through their Sant-Guru). Whenever we remember Him - Satnaam, in our Hirdha (heart chakra) then Baba ji is with us, the Sants and Guru Sahibs are with us in astral body. So never feel they are far away or you are alone. Whatever you want in Bhagti start off by doing humble ardas. Stand up , put your palms together, think of SatGuru ji's holy feet , lower your head forward slightly and pray from the depths of your heart, "Dear SatNaam Satguru ji, I am so full of the 5 thieves, I am rushing around due to my karma, please forgive me for forgetting You.
Visar Nahee Datar apanaaa Naam Deho.
Gun Gava Din Raaat Nanak Chao eho.
Forget me not O Great Giver and give me your Naam.
May I sing your praises day and night, this is Nanak's desire - (Guru Arjun Dev Ji)."
And then all day long just keep doing humble ardas in your mind, whenever you get a chance - before eating, when going to the toilet, when out for a walk, before going to sleep, on waking up, before cooking, before washing up. Just build humble ardas into your daily life. Dassan Dass ji asked us to keep doing ardas every 5 minutes if we can. Here is what Dassan Dass JI gave us to do:
Also you can just recite a shabad from gurbani or just talk from your heart. Keep pleading, keep doing benti, keep asking for naam, seva and bandagi all day long. Keep knocking on God-Guru's door until He opens His hand and gives you the gift of Bhagti. These gifts are all in His Hand, in SatGuru Ji's hand. And humble ardas is the only way we become empty of ego so he can fill us up with Naam.
Remember becoming innocent, becoming simple, becoming a slave of the Guru-Master is the humble way. Read any shabad from Gurbani it is full of innocence, love, compassion and most of all Truth. So renounce our own ego, our own cleverness, our own worldly thinking and explanations. Renounce are excuses for not putting into practise what Gurbani and a Sant-Guru has asked us to do. so may our mind become Become a "Bholla Bhalla Banda - Innocent and Simle Divine Slave", that is the way
God Bless you and your family always and forever.
Dust of your feet
Your brother and slave
Harjit
