God Bless You.
SatNaam.
with baba Ji's blessings, we ran a meditation course a couple of years ago and recorded all of the live classes. Leanr to relax with Satnaam and guided visualisation.
QN: Respected Babaji,Guru Fateh...We say that all good and bad deeds happen in hukum...i am curious to know that if a person kills another person partially to save the later from pain unbearable,will he/she be forgiven by the divine power ..the Almighty.If not how can the sinner do penance for his deed...i also want to know that the person who is killed under these circumstances will attain mukti or not...did this happen to him/her because he/she ws destined to die this way...please do answer.Regards,S.
REPLY FROM DASSAN DASS (www.satnaam.info):
Satnaam beti S jee, god bless the departed soul and the one who killed him. Everything that happens is according to the destiny, but killing someone like this is not good. His sufferings are due to his own karni, so it would have been better if he would have paid for them, he will still have to pay for his karni, and so is true for the one who kills anybody like this, instead he should have prayed for him to end his sufferings and pains. Both are not going to get mukti like this, both will have to do their bandgi to get mukti, be in this life time or anytime in the future to come.

You have to understand how addictions of thoughts and habits work in the brain. Then catch each thought and reform it and don't hold them if you want to wash your mind.
"thithay ghariaa" … JapJi tells us to change inside.
Change who? Yourself.
How to change? Sacrifce yourself to the Guru.
What else to change? Selfless service. Forget about thinking about self and about family.
What are you first ? A name - so forget it.
What else are you? Addiction to the family. So kill the family in your meditation. Say to God, "Just YOU and ME, ME and YOU , no one else." To kill MOH you don't have to kill your parents, but just kill the desires within the mind. Kill the sickness of desire in the mind.
Everything will break. You have to conquor the mind not the Earth. Kings tried conquering the world didn't work. Queen Victoria uprooted other families and its happening to her own families.
"Don't judge anyone only yourself" That should be written in every Temple. You cant change yourself unless you close your eyes. And get under your own flesh, bones and mind. What do you call your "self"? The closer you go to it, you will find its all an illusion. Your sense of self is just smoke. Apply this wisdom."
Satnaam paji, dandauth bandhna jiIn the video, he said that keeping hair is the Guru's stamp and that its the Guru's Hukam and only by following the Guru's hukam we can enter into God's court.So do you believe that by keeping hair you will enter God's court, and conversely by not keeping it you wont? Forget about what you believe, actually look at your practical expereince of life so far, what do you KNOW to be true. You have kept your hair for so many years, have you entered God's court?Kabir Ji says in gurbani that keeping your hair or shaving it off, makes no difference - you have to cut off your bad deeds.Guru Granth Sahib ji says that NAAM is the HUKAM - (not keeping externals) - EKO NAAM HUKAM HA. and Guru gobind Singh Ji said follow Guru Granth Sahib ji. so which defintion of Hukam are you going to believe - what the preacher is saying in the video that HAIR is the HUKAM, or your Gurubani Guru, that NAAM is the HUKAM?Its very simple veer ji. Sadhguru ji said there are two things to life - survival and spirituality.
In order to survive - which means to keep this body alive, we do so many things. But they have nothing to do with spirituality.Survival is what we do on the outside, spirituality is what we do on the inside.For survival we have a brain, senses, worldy wisdom, we have enough power to survive as an individual without the need for believing in anything spiritual - all of the animal kingdom is surviving withouth doing any prayers, as are most humans nowadaysFor survival in the times of oppression after Guru Arjun Dev ji, Bhai Gurdas ji wrote that even a rose has been given thorns. The following Guru Ji's gave their Sikhs weapons, uniforms, an army, military training, military rules, hunting practise, and so on. Guru Gobind singh ji formalised the identity of his army by giving a uniform and military rules for daily living. The identity is all part of the survival, in order to live in this world and to be strong as an army and defend the community.Dhan Dhan is Guru HarGobind Ji for putting the thorns in place.Thorns is the outside only, Gurbani is the rose.However nowadays for majority of people like you and us, there is no oppression, what the Guru ji's were putting into place is taken care of by the governments of these countries. When there is no oppression then why would anyone need to still dress and live like a soldier from 300 years ago from a different time and place? So that is where the preaching has changed over the last few hundred years. Now the reason to wear the unform and follow the external rules is to achieve salvation, and if you dont follow it, then you wont get a place in God's court - as the video said. All they are doing is trying to seel the thorn as the rose.That is the illusion modern religion is putting people into. And what GurParsaad is waking you up to.Wear your 5Ks, follow the external discipline, aspire to the ideals of Guru gobind singh ji of defneding the Sants and destrying the tyrants. But know why you are doing it, and that if tomorrow you decide to take the uniform off or not follow those external rules, IT DOESNT MEAN the door to God's court is closed to you.Even if you talk to Nihangs they are the closest we have to the Sikh Warriors of Guru Ji's time, even they accept its just a uniform and are quite happy to take off their kirpans off at night when sleeping. Its just common sense. Guru Gobind Singh ji freed people from nonsense.God bless you ji
By keeping your hair.you are in gods will.if hair didnt have a purpose then why would god have given it to us.each hair contains the dna of your whole body.it also acts like a heat insulator for the head.reason for keeping a jurha in the middle front of the head is to protect your dasam dubar plus hair also has a sensory action.hair also acts like anttenas.personally i think a sardar looks great with turban and facial hair.
