Martial arts and Naam

Satnaam Preeto Ji,

Is there anything that baba ji has said with regards to martial arts?
A spiritual martial arts like QiGong, or TaiChi?

should we refrain from things like this?
 
 
SatNaam ji,
 
REPLY:
Baba ji said that the past religions are fading away because people now are expereincing God one-to-one without the need for religious organisations, priests and temples etc.  He said that Zen wasa good example of people expereincing nature for themself, that Reiki energy is same as what we call Amrit,   and that will also gor for  QiGong and TaiChi - you get to experience the divine energy for yourself - one-2one with SatNaam.  Even we find yoga stretches and breathing and simran combined work for us to expereince Naam amrit all over our body.
 
 
If you look at the history of martial arts liek Kung Fu, we think it was started by shaolin Monks who were peaceful but then had to learn to defend themself, so they were already in tune with nature - the divine energy - Naam Amrit, so from that developed the forms and movements and redirectnig of that divine energy.    Howerver, what you see in most martial arts classes and yoga classes nowdays is just  a set of classes for people to focus just on their physical body - exercising it and learning to defend/attack.  They have lost the divine essence that it came from - the Naam is missing.
 
However Baba ji also gave an example once that a person in lower consciousness may start doing martial arts for reasons to do with the body - being fit, being tough, being able to beat others or to defend themself.  And in the beginning as they gain the skills they get ego of it, show off etc.  But, if they stick to it long enough they become a real expert, but then they will not use their skills unless it is completelyy the last resort. They have matured, they have reconnected with the Truth within through the years of discipline, and even teaching others is compassion to others.   Baba ji gave the same example of Bill Gates or other super - rich people, they started their business to make money, to dominate, to be in control, to be powerful (again lower consciousness).  But in having done that and seen that it is not satisfying as they thought it would be, they have become great givers - started massive charities and spend their time doing compassion for others.
 
 
So it doesn't matter where we start (music, martial arts, yoga, religion, charity work, family life, work etc)  as long as we stick to it honestly, do good deeds, keep sharing with others, do our simran then Guru's Grace will bless us to meet our Sant-Guru and we transcend Maya (lower consciousness) and merge with our Source, the Truth- SatNaam SatGuru Ji's Lotus Feet.
 
God Bless all.

Balanced Mind For A Good Future


SatNaam Ji, 

if you are trying to get somewhere on a bike, but have not learned how to ride then no matter how hard you pedal you will keep wobbling side to side , often falling. So it is better one learns to ride the bike and then head off to your destination. Which in practical terms means our mind is unstable, wobbling between ups and downs. We have not learned inner balance, yet we are making so many dreams which we are chasing without success. So isn't it better we get up early everyday, do our meditation , balance our mind, do good deeds all day long, stay in balance, and then whatever tasks we put our energy into will not make us unstable? What most people seem to be doing is just having a dream, chasing like mad, working all day, studying all night, burning themselves out for that qualification or that next big job, or for their family. When you surrender to your outer Guru, then you learn how to be balanced inside yourself, and you go through life as easily as riding a bike in any direction that your inner Guru calls you in. Guru Arjun Dev Ji wrote "O beloved one of God, sit steadily inside your house (heart) for the SatGuru takes care of all your tasks."  (Thir ghar basoh har jan pyare, satgur tumaray kaaj savaray.)

God Bless all

Dealing With Problems


QUESTION FROM G:


Dear Preeto ji.

Satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam.

...


The reason I'm looking for an answer is that issues pains woes make my mind run around like wild fire. It's so much harder to concentrate on Satnaam. I so wish to be able to concentrate more on Satnaam simran.

My question is do I put more effort into resolving my problems issues in a worldly effort then concentrate on satnaam meditation. Or do I concentrate more on satnaam meditation when problems occur ? I am new to meditating and certainly have no high spiritual state or any great gift but it seems so so so much harder to concentrate when there's an issue or worry in my life.

What ever advice you can give will be much appreciated and please forgive any foolish thinking on my part....


Kind regards...G.

 

REPLY FROM PREETO:

 

SatNaam Paji,

dandauth bandhna ji

your ups and downs is just your karma playing out, its the mountains and valleys you have to climb through.  Mountains and valleys you made for yourself.

 

You keep trying to battle though, but feel like you are banging your head on brick wall.

 

That is because your destiny has to prevail.   You may wish for perfect health, but may not be written for you (in your DNA), you may wish to be a millionaire, but again you have not sown anything to reap that.

 

So a time comes when you get tired of banging your head against a brick wall, which is what you are expressing,  but at the same time the only alternative you see is to give up everything and do simran.   But the problem is, for your logical mind, you are wondering how on earth will you progress in life, if you give up.  Becaue you see doing simran and bandagi as meaning you give up on life and getting what you want.

 

This deep down WANT inside you is what is causing you the inner grief and frustration because you cant get what you WANT.  That is why you cant do simran with concentration.  

 

So Baba Nanak ji says in Gurbani again and again to give up HAUMAI AND TRISHNA - ego and desires.

 

 

And says, "if you want to play the game of love, bring your head on the palm of your hand.  Stepping upon this path, and having given your head, dont look back and dont pay attention to what others say (to hold you back."  (jo tho prem khelan ka charo sir dhal talee galee meree ao. Ith marag pair dareejay sir deejay khan na keejay.)

 

That is the same thing that was symbolised by the Punj Pyare standng nd giving their head to Guru Gobind Singh ji.

 

It is the same thing everyone does when they receive Naam from their SAtGuru.   Guru gives you Eternal Blessings of the Priceless Diamond Naam (naam amolak heera), but you have to empty yourself out EGO & DESIRES.    That is why in Gurbani , Guru Amar Das ji says "tunn munn dhan sabh saup gur kau, hukam mannio paaio - surrender ALL - body, mind and wealth unto the GURU, obeying this ones realises (the Truth)."

 

Still your logic mind wonders, "it doesnt make sense to surrender everything, then how will my health, wealth, family, financial and future issues be taken care of?" 

 

See what the normal mind doesn't understand is what GRACE means.  Because GRACE and ETERNAL BLESSINGS come from god in your heart.   And all mind knows is EFFORT.

 

It means that by your own EFFORTS you have not been able to overcome the ups and downs of your karma - still ahv eno peace, no stillness, no deep ,down love in your heart for SatNaam.     So God in your heart is quitely waiting for you "ok G, keep making your efforts, when life gets unbearable let me know!" .

 

So one day, you may do such an ardas "Satguru ji I've had enough, I'm falling at your feet, please accept my head, I'll do what you say and you take care of my worldy tasks."

 

And Guru Arjun Dev ji says "thir ghar baso har jan pyare satgur tumaray kaaj savaray" - sit steadily inside your house (heart), Satguru is taking care of all your tasks."   And SAT is the Guru sitting inside your heart.  No you still go about your daily life, but your EFFORTS are BLESSED by SAT Guru.

 

 

So you change your priorities in life:

 

Dassan Dass ji taught us:

 

Number 1: Satnaam & Satguru

Number 2: SatSangat

Number 3 - everything else - family, work etc

 

Everyday, you get up early and focus on Number 1 : do Satnaam simran cherishing the Satguru's lotus feet.   Serve the sangat, treat all as sangat - startnig with your family.   Number 3, go to work and seeit as seva, focus on work, do it for the benefit of others, forget about yourself.    That is the key to killing EGO & DESIRES,  do SEVA so you forget about ME and MY WANTS, just fill with YOU SATNAAM SATGURU & YOUR SEVA.

 

Then you still ahve to live through your karma, climb mountains and go through valleys,  but now Satguru's SatNaam is in your heart and carries you through.    When you do all your wordly tasks through your OWN EFFORTS, chasing desires then you are running under MAYA and MAYA always bites i.e DUKH, everything is a struggle, a frustration, or a maybe some temporary happines in between too.     But when you surrender everything to SAtguru ji, and do everything as an attitude of seva of your Satguru, then you go through your karma with HIS GRACE - GURKIRPA and ETERNAL BLESSINGS - GURPARSAAD, and NOTHING BITES YOU.    Even if you lose your health, even if you lose your wealth, even if all of your worst fears happened, even then you will just say "SAtguru ji even if allt hat happens, may I never lose the love of your lotus feet (SATNAAM) in my heart."

 

Please read the sukhmani book, (sukhmani.info) - it will really bless you.

 

Please feel free to ask more questions - we will find the quotes on meat and send to you, we have them in an old doc.

 

Dust of your feet.
