Satnaam ji, dandauth bandhna ji
thanks for coming to Satnaam sangat yesterday and letting us share and pray for you.
We have also copied in Dassan Dass ji, and he also has blessed you and asked us all to pray for you in orderfor SatNaam ji to shatter your karmic layers (and you felt that when we did SatNaam simran and Reiki yesterday).
In the world it is true what you said we do not want to go to people and ask for money after not seeing them for 20 yrs! But it is not the same with the Sants, they have wide open arms, god is always waiting for us to come to him and the moment we take a step towards him, god-guru comes running towards you to welcome you.
charan saran gur ek painde jaai chal satguru kot painda agay hoi layt ha.
take one step towards the refuge of the guru's feet, and the satguru takes countless steps to welcome you.
Physically that means God has heard your deep down prayer and that is why you came to sangat, you did simran and god in the form of sants are coming to help you.
Spiritually it means, God in your heart is waiting for you know, just strt going within as is your dream and merge into the love-light inside you- satnaam satguru ji's lotus feet.
thanks, love and blessings always.
QN:
Satnaam Preeto Ji
You said that it would be OK to email Dassan Dass ji...would it be appropriate for me to ask for healing?
Thanks once again for everything.
PREETO REPLY:
Satnaam Paji,
actually healing is the side-effect of getting the blessings of naam. "Sarab rog ka aukhud naam - naam is the cure-all." Ask for the blessings of GurParsaadi Naam and then just trust what Dassan Dass ji tells you to do. When they give you Naam, they are with you in spiritual form - Gur-Jyot. They guide you from within. When you do simran on the Naam they give you, you are clearing your karma. Please read this shabad by Guru Arjun Dev ji and you will understand that naam is the medicine to cure the root cause of your ills accumulated over lifetimes.
And Naam is given by God to you through the sant-hirdha - like the fire gives you the spark.
Baba ji explained to us that even though when normal people do Reiki, or Yoga or Meditation (without Naam), they do get some relief, but it is temporary, because the burden is on the soul. And only Naam (i.e. Infinite Divine Power - SatNaam) can undo that through His blessings. So that is why we say, because of karma we are suffering, but because of His kirpa we are healed.
Many, many , many spiritual people have first gone through depression. Because depression is extreme dukh and a depressed person can see how false this life really is. Depression can be good if it wakes a person up to find the Truth. Baba ji said actually it is the result of EGO, a life lived in ego is a depressed life -
"haumai deera rog ha daru bhee is mahi,
kirpa karay je apaunee ta gur ka shabad kaamaai."
Ego is the chronic disease, but there is a cure too.
If He bestows His grace, then one earns the Guru's Word (Sat Naam & Sat Gyan).
- Baba Nanak ji.
We once said to Baba ji that our friend commented on Bhagat Bani (writings of thesaints in Guru Granth Sahib Ji), saying they sound like they were depressed. Baba ji said the Bhagats were in extreme pain and hardships, their love for God came out from that place and that is why when we go through a similar stage of extreme pain, suffering and depression , reading/listening to Bhagat Bani connects us to God within.
So please do email Dassan Dass ji and begin the journey with Naam & Guru with you now.
God bless you ji.

There is only one infinite divine power that can break your shackles of karmic layers which are a cause of your pains and sufferings, depression and illusions, so please take it for granted that this infinite divine power is contained in "SATNAAM" so please put your trust devotion and love in this infinite divine power of Satnaam and dedicate yourself to Satnaam Simran.

Satnaam Dassan Dass Ji
I am truly humbled and grateful to receive your blessing and message....Can you please explain what you meant by saying "give your problems, pains and sufferings to us and take the amrit".
Thank you jee
REPLY FROM DASSAN DASS JI:
Satnaam Jee this means leave everything upto god - Satnaam, and stop worrying about them, when he focuses on satnaam and leave everything to satnaam then satnaam will start helping him, because there is nothing within the capacity of a man that can change things like this, thinking so is ego, so completely surrender yourself to satnaam and satnaam will help him get peace and smoothness in the life. Satnaam is the Amrit, then the amrit will start to flow and he will start feeling the peace.

just for an example, when we used feel down and depressed, we used to just say to Guru, "we have given you our head, now we do what you want and on your side, you take care of all our worldly tasks." In this way, we got out of thinking we had to sort out our problems and worry about them or feel frsutrated or depressed or down. Just keep saying, we have given our head, we will do naam, seva and bandagi and trust Guru is taking care of everything else.
Thir ghar basoh har jan pyare satgur tumaray kaaj savaray
Sit steadily in your home (inside yourself) o beloved one of God,
for the Satguru is taking care of all your tasks.
This is REALLY, REALLY powerful, and the only way we know of how to get out of our troubles. Our troubles are all caused by our thinking we have to sort out our problems, but we cant. We get trapped between a rock and hard place, between te devil and deep blue sea, as they say. Aged 17, -we personally even thought about maybe suicide is the way out of our troubles. In the end we just really believed that loving God was the only way, we took sikh initiation and really, really believed that we have given our head to the Guru, we gave him all our troubles to take care of, and in return we just need to do naam, seva and bandagi.
We used to remind ourself so many times when we got down, that "No, we have given our head to the Guru, we are working for him and he is taking care of our troubles and worries , we dont need to think about worldy stuff anymore."
God bless you.
RPLY FROM PAJI:
Ik Onkar Satnaam Dandaut to all
I forgot to ask in my last email, if it's possible for a beings that are close to the Divine to impart healing on another soul... are such things possible or are they just myths?
If true, would it be wrong for one (namely me!) to request healing from such beings?...(sort of jumping the queue... as I am not yet at a stage to communicate with the Divine directly)
...or am i missing the message here, and that is ...just be...and let God take care of everything.
Thanks

SatNaam Paji, Dandauth Bandhan ji
let us understand what is meant by healing.
For most people they want their physical pains to be taken away, others want their mental depression and emotional grief to be taken away.
Why? Because we want to be happy and enjoying ourself.
When we are in pain (physical) and suffering (mental/emotional), it is called hell.
When we are enjoying ourself i.e. enjoying the pleasures given by our senses and seeking wordly comforts, this is called heaven.
When people are asking for healing, they are asking "please get me out of hell, so I can be back into heaven".
And the world you see around you is all about healers, doctors, therapists and even relgious priest or sacred places set up to fulfill people's desire to get out of hell and back into heaven.
Without Guru's Wisdom, people are just going from hell to heaven, to hell and heaven - pain and pleasure, pleasure and pain. There whole life is in just seeking happiness, heaven, through good health and plenty of wealth and the approval of their religion.
So it is good that there is something inside you that is making you cautious about just asking for healing. Asking for healing is just trying to satisfy another unfulfilled desire in order to get heaven.
But does asking for good health, hapyp family and plenty of wealth actually come true for everyone? Look around, religious places are full of people asking for these things - "give me, protect me, heal me and my family" - ME & MY FAMILY = ego is wanting things for its survival.
So does everyone get what they are praying for, or get the job they are sutdying for, or get cured of the sickness they are suffering from, or get the baby boy or beautiful wife they are desperate for?
No.
Why?
Because there is something running your life that is far greater than a person's wanting ego and that is called your KARMA. Baba ji said, "KARMA OVERRULES EVERYTHING". Means you will only get what is coming to you AS PER THE DEEDS YOU HAVE DONE IN THE PAST.
So asking anyone including priests, for healing, for wealth, for health and for happiness is pointless. You are asking for heaven and getting hell.
So that is why Guru's wisdom shows us the way out of this trap of heaven and hell which ego gets caught in due to its unfulfilled desires.
And what is that? Baba ji said that "SATNAAM OVERRULES KARMA". This means that TRUTH, the INFINITE DIVINE POWER within you, your own soul, is higher than the hell and heaven sides of your mind that you are jumping between.
So focus with one-pointed mind inwards on SATNAAM, on TRUTH, hold onto your Guru's Lotus Feet and say I am happy with dukh or sukh, hell or heaven, as long as I have SATNAAM in my heart.
We really like this verse by Guru Ram Das ji:
je sukh deh ta tujay aradhee
je dukh deh te tujhay dhiaaee
je bukh deh ta ith hee rujaa
dukh vich sukh maanaai.
If you give me sukh (pleasure - heaven) I will still take yur support (do Satnaam in your heart).
Even if you give me dukh (suffering/pain - hell) I will still surrender to you (do Satnaam in your heart).
If you give me hunger, even then I will be satisfied with that,
I will see even dukh as sukh.
This teaches us to get out of thinking dukh is bad and sukh is good.
Practically, this means when you are in physical pain you stop worrying about it, you stop judging it as something bad, you stop making yourself feel emotinally down because of your physical and mental health.
There are two things, pain and suffering. Pain is physical, suffering is mental. You can get cut, that is physical pain,and everyone who has a normal body feels pain - even Sants, even past Gurus. Pain is part fo the survival mechanism inside us - to make us stop doing the activity we are doing that is damaging us and to let the body repair itself. Now, how we process that pain in our mind by saying "this si really bad, I am really sick, maybe this is cancer, o i might die" - this is the cause of our suffering. Pain is always goignt o be there to help us to survive. But suffering is our our choice.
You have to start looking at your own pain, physcial and emotional and instead of saying "I'm in such a bad place, this is terrible, there seems to be no way out, I cant carry on like this etc"and instead stop this suffering by saying "ketia dukh bukh sad maar e bhee daat teree datar - countless many are given constant pain and hunger, but even this is your gift o great giver." Be thankful for your pain and suffering. Notice the feelings of despair, and misery, and low energy and other symptoms. Just notice them, name them eg "this is despair", and then instead of feeling bad about yourself, just let it go like watching clouds fly by in the sky of your mind. In one word, notice your symptoms and feelings and say "SATNAAM". This breaks the cycle that you think you are in a terrible place because your mind and body and emotions are in a negative place. Just because your body, mind and emotions are down, does notmean YOU are down and out. You are the soul, the Infinite Divine Power, the sleeping giant, the Might Energy called SATNAAM. Just remind yourself "I am not the body, I am not the mind and emotions, I am the soul - SATNAAM." This is how you break with identifying yourself with the state of your mind, body and emotions.
So in Gurbani we dont ask for healing or anythnig for our mind, body or emotions. We kill all undfullfilled desires as they only keep us in heaven and hell. We thank for whatever dukh and sukh and bukh we have been given, accept it is our KARMA playing out. We go beyond heaven and hell into TRUTH CONSCIOUSNESS (Soul) part of ourself by focusing n SATNAAM SATNAAM instead.
In your daily simran, watch your thoughts and recognise where they are coming from, name them and let them go, come back to SATNAAM SATNAAM in your heart. That is what you have to practise to get out of old way of thinking and false identification with mind, body and emotions you have made.
God bless you, Guru is always with you and all who have had Naam. Now earn it.
