Flare Up


SaTnaam SatGuru SatSangat Jee, dandauth bandhana ji 


ego and desire (haumai and trishna) flare up time to time, again and again.  When they take over we become completely absorbed in it, thinking we are right to fulfill our desire, forgetting we are the Light.    Each of us has to learn to tell the difference inside us of when we are living in peace and humbleness of heart, or when ego and desire have flared up and the thoughts that come with them.  For each of us the way ego and desires will take over is different.   

Recognising when we are under the influence of ego and desires is a great blessing of Satguru ji upon us.

And then resolving NOT to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that ego and desires are filling our head with is our test.

How do we overcome it?  Not by fighting, but by deep down praying to Satguru ji "keep us how you want, make us do what You want, I dont need anything, I dont want anything except to serve and live for others."   Then do Satnaam in your heart, pray "Satguru ji you are our role model Baba ji, make us like you, just in love with Naam and Seva, we dont need anything else.  Just keep your holy feet in our heart."  And say "satNaam satnaam."

Each of us has to realise when we are in ego and desires, and then to overcome them with a simple humble ardas and prayer for forgiveness.

Please forgive us for all our mistakes,  we are the biggest egotist, full of unfulfilled desires and five thieves, seeking comforts, full of complaints, saying one thing doing another, but whatever we are please keep us under your feet SatGuru Baba ji.


Dust of your feet.

The Inner Path and The SatGuru

SatNaam Satguru SatSangat Ji , dandauth bandhna ji
 
 
Baba ji said to us last week, that all we have to do is keep serving others with Truth, Love and Compassion on the outside.  And on the inside keep cutting our entanglements (due to the 5 thieves & unfulfilled desires).  Just be true to those two things and even if you lose your respect, lose your family, lose your money, lose your marriage, lose anything and everything on the outside, may you never lose the love of the Guru's lotus feet inside your heart. Clasp on to them by doing your Satnaam Satnaam simran.   Everything that happens on the outside is good if you look inisde to see what junk came up, deal with it by letting it go and get stronger in your conviction to do satnaam simran day and night all the time.  Keep praying for doing more simran, more seva and that is called bandagi (loving devotion) -
 
kar banda tu bandagi
jichar gat meh sahu
o banda (slave) do bandagi (divine slavery)
so long as you have breath in your body.
--Kabir ji in gurbani.
 
Before there was anything there was the One God in perfect silence absorbed in Itself - Ik Oankaar.
God broke that silence , created the Naam (divine energy/supreme force)  and called Itself the Truth - Sat.   SatNaam - Truth is god's Name.  SatNaam is also much more than a mantra, it is also a part of God Itself , like the drop is part and parcel of the ocean it came from.  When you say Satnaam you are not just saying god's Name, you actually connecting to God Itself in th deepest part of your soul - the place that God is still absorbed in  Itself in total silence.
 
Out of the Naam came all of the Creation, the Naam is the stuff that the Creation is made of and is supported by, like the canvas on which a the painting is painted upon. 
 
And inside you the creator is running you as well creating all the time new cells, new thoughts, new ideas, new babies.
 
Nirbhau - when Satnaam has created everything (good or bad), then what is their to be scared of?  When you feel scared or anxious just recite "Nirbhau Satnaam Nirbhau Satnaam".
 
NIrvair - when Satnaam has created everything (good or bad) then who or what should we hate?  When you feel angry , hurt or betrayed, then recite "Nirvair Satnaam Nirbvair Satnaam".
 
 
Everything that is keeping your mind stuck in fear and hate, worries and regrets, hopes and dreams is all called Maya.  When you cut away at all these entaglements inside you become free (mukat) of Maya whilst still alive, that is called Jivan Mukat.  Then you are truly free, free inside.    Then your Satnaam Satnaam simran takes you further and deeper inside and your astral body becomes cleaned up of all your karmic filth, it becomes radiant and pure, golden like a buddha statue.   This is all by your outer Guru's Grace - GurParsaad of the one who gave you the Naam - the spark that has burnt through all the Maya inside you and cleaned you up.
 
Inside yourself you have visions of your outer Guru, and other Sants, they are all to encourage you.  Actually they are SatNaam Itself who is Formless (nirankar) taking the form of somone you love - your Guru to come and bless you.
 
When you completely absorb into your own soul - the One Source, Ik Onkaar, you enter the complete silence of mind and sat chit anand - the bliss of Truth Consciousness.
 
And at that time, SatNaam has manifested completely in your heart - your real Anand Karaj (divine marriage) has taken place. The outside marriage is just part of societies rules to keep people together, bring up a family etc and the fear of god to make you stay together. (But Karma overrules everything).     Sat sits on the throne of your heart - that is the real Gur-Gaddi, your heart is the real Gurdwara - Guru's Gate.   Sat sitting as the Guru in your heart is called SATGURU.     
 
The one who gives you the Naam is the SatGuru, not the body of the Sant but God sitting intheir heartItself is the SATGURU who gave you the Naam, and then guided you from within your thoughts, dreams, astral realms until you finished your journey.
 
All this is infront of you, leave all the Maya behind you now.   When you face the sun of Satnaam the shadow falls behind you.  Before you were facing the shadow of Maya and all was darkness.

May Satguru bless you.

How to remove your anger and hurt by washing feet

Satnaam ji,


dandauth bandhna ji

 


our anger is of our own making, we cant blame anyone else, no matter what happens around us, its our choice how we react inside.  You may feel its not your choice as you dont want the anger, but yet it keep on coming up.  That is because it is deep in our subconcscious. So that is why even though consciously you can say you dont want it, but still it doesnt go.


So you have to sit in your simran, and start bby doing ardas "satguru ji I am full of anger, please forgive me, I am your child, please show me the way."   ..or words of your own choosing , but sincerely from your own heart.


Then forgive the other people and wash their feet and recite "haumai nahee tuhi tu satnaam  (no ego only you satnaam)"  and wash the feet of your guru first until you feel love for satnaam .


Then take that love and wash the feet of the satsangat until you feel love for satnaam.


then take that love and wash the feet of your family until you feel love for satnaam


then (the hard bit)   take that love and wash the feet of those who have hurt you, until you dont see them anymore, only feel love for satnaam inisde them as well.

You have to do this everyday for as long as it takes,  even now we still do it every morning to clear any minor resentments or issues that come up. 


The only reason we cant let go is


a) we feel hurt
b) we feel they got away with it
c) we feel we haven't been heard


and as much as we would like to go and confront them and have it out with them, we know its not going to happen, so then we feel trapped - frustrated.  but just by going to the gym, that inner anger doesnt go.


So we have to let it go, trust in God that no one escapes his justice (karma), and focus on what we want to be - pure and beautiful by reciting satnaam, rather than dark and miserable (by focusing on our past hurts).


You dont have to call anyone as your husband/wife or ex-husband/ex-wife - you are just playing games - defining yourself in relation to others.  Just see all as Satnaam, all as having God inside them, and then you will see Satnaam inside yourself as well.  Get out of the game of relationships defined by worldy people.


God bless all.

Everything I do, I do with Love.


SaTNaam SatGuru SatSangat ji, dandauth bandhna ji
 
 
would like to share that when our mind gets down its because our ego starts thinking of the the things "I didnt achieve"  all the things that didn't happen for "me".   But, then our ego may also decide it doesnt want to be down, and decides that in order to be happy , "I" need to achieve something, "I" need to become something.   Ego is all about "me me me".   When we are down look inside and see what statements ego is making inside, they all being with "I" and "me".
 
 
What gave us peace was to realise with Guru's Kirpa that we dont need to achieve this or that and then we will be happy, that is a fake deal ego is giving us.   We can be happy right now, how?   We read this quote by our reiki teacher who passed away a few years ago, she was a wonderful soul, always gave us big hugs and we once said to her about her cakes that they were delivious and she replied "they are made with love".  This was her quote on her memorial card above her smiling face:
 
"Everything I do now, or have ever done, I do with love."
 
 
That's all it is, make each action , each interaction with others , just full of love and let Satnaam Satguru take care of what is happening in the future.
 
 
May Baba Ji bless all.

Dont stop loving

 
Satnaam ji, dandauth bandhna ji
 

in gurbani Guru Arjun Dev ji says the true warrior is the one who is coloured by the naam, because only that one has turned the battle inwards and overcome their own ego.  So only when you become low and wash everyone;s feet in your simran (recite "haumai nahee tuhi tu satnaam") and all day long can you say you are a true warrior in the guise of a simple (innocent, not dumb) person.  Your soul is simple, God is simple, love is simple, compassion is simple, a humble heart is simple, kindness to one and all is simple.  When you do satnaam simran, the Truth of other people's intentions comes out - and mostly that whatever they are doing is for their own best interest, not yours, so you dont go along with their wrong maya advice
 
When you wash other's feet in your simran, your own anger and ego cant blind you any more from the Truth, that you still love the other person - God in you loves God in them.  When we are angry and hurt, we only fill our mind with all the reasons why a relationship wont work and keep bringing up past hurts.  But, when we forgive the other, then we free ourself from our own hurt and pain that is blinding us.   Dont give up on the other person.  Whatever you are expecting them to do for you (eg say sorry and then come running to tell you how they still love you)  is also something you can do.  Be true to your own heart, express those true feelings , remember the good times,  and if you can overcome this breakdown, then you can overcome anything that comes in future.  
 
Also remember the other person is also a divine soul, God is in them too, but they must also be feeling hurt, angry, betrayed etc which is also going to blind them to the Truth of you.  So dont retaliate to whatever mean things they say, just apologise for causing the hurt, think well for the other person, wish well for all, Baba ji said to us "the smile on their face is my happiness".   That is unconditional love, give love expect nothing in return.  giving love but then expecting them to behave in a certain way or to keep them under your control is the root of all problems.  Love without expectations and conditions, open your heart, and even if you get hurt, dont close up and give up on life. 
 
Realise loving was not the wrong thing to do, but getting entangled in expectations and trying to control and posses the other person was why we suffered.  There is a saying "it is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all".     But you never need to lose i you love unconditionally - the smile on their face i my happiness.  Baba ji said "if you love someone set them free, if it was meant to be they will come back, otherwise it was never meant to be."   So strive to have the bigger heart, welcome all, love all - especially those who have hurt you, give up your entanglements but dont give up loving.    If you stay open hearted, the other person will cool down and realise they too can express their heart.   If you react badly when others say bad stuff, then it become ego bashing heads trying to save face, win points, prove they are right etc etc as we all know too well.
 
God bless you.

HAVE A BIGGER HEART


SatNaam  SatGuru SatSangat Dandauth bandhna ji,
 
HAVE A BIGGER HEART
==================+
 
if you know Truth,
if you really know the Truth
and feel it in your heart
feel the love and energy
feel the compassion and kindness
then open your arms
and hug in the ones who are hurt
speak the soothing words
sing the songs of praise
wash the feet of those who've hurt you
hold no hatred
fill with forgiveness
pray for those who are
comsumed by their five thieves
pray for their trapped soul
pray so they are blessed
like you are blessed
with Naam and Satguru.
 
God bless all.
