Satnaam

Many religious people dont actually believe much in god or afterlife, but like belonging to a religion for social and community needs. We worked with some one like that too.

Ask yourself, do we know god, do we reslly want to know god for our self,or are we in this sangat for just the belonging part, being liked,approved of,social and community needs.  And is that enough for us?

love your sant - it leads to supreme love

Ik oankar satgurparsaad,

Kar sadhu anjuli pun vada heh, 
kar dandauth pun vada heh.   
(greet the sant with prressed palms, its a great deed.
greet the sant with lying flat at their feet, its a great deed.)

Santeh charan hamaro matha 
nain daras tun dhoor paro.  
(my forehead is pressed on the feet of the sants,
my eyes behold them and my body s covered with their holy foot dust).

dhan dhan dhan each and every sant, 

dhan dhan are their sat charan, 

dhan dhan is their kamaaeee, 

wherever they step because cool and peaceful, 

they bless all, love all, and ferry all.

satnaam satnaam satnaam 
satnaam satnaam satnaam ,  

they are the face of god for us,  
we should see their face in every face, 
we should see their feet in all feet, 
then we become IK DRISHT with LOVE for all.

sant should be our friend, satguru sajjan miliyaa,  
that friendship develops in to divine love, 
that love develops into pure parbraham.  

satnaam satnaam satnaam, 

if we are lucky enough to have a sant, 
then Marahaj ji said go from friend
to preet (small love)
to prem (big love)
to parbraham (supreme love - God Himself)

satnam satnaam satnaam .

Long session simran - pritam anand ji

Satguru pita ji telling us again and again go for Long session simran.  Why this is must?  With satgurus pita ji grace and blessings want to share.  Meditation is sitting on one spot and Recite EK ONKAR SAT EK ONKAR SAT SAT SAT AND WITNESS TO OUR CONSCIOUSNESS.  If we won't sit on place then how we can stop doing physical activities.  Physical activities we do all day long to for surive and this survive take us in Greed and keep us busy here and there and we forget SAT.  Our mind just keep doing self-talk for no reason and keep us busy. Someone got job or some money, now mind start making stories and from one thought to many thoughts. Reciting SAT keep us away from self talk and sitting on one spot keep us away from our physical activities.  When we will sit and close eyes we will start doing SAT SIMRAN.  slowly slowly our mind will stop talking self talk and we can start witnessings our consciousness and keep going within.  Until we don't stop our physical activities and do SAT SIMRAN, never ever we can go within and cure our self talk mind and thoughts.  We have to teach this mind , we have to thanks to SAT, who gave us Human life and we have to realize with the grace of SATGURUS PITA JI.  Satnaam ji Better we listen Satgurus pita ji and sit for sat simran and disconnect from worldly relations and things and focus on our SAT simran and realize SAT within us.  Satnaam ji bless all ji satnaam ji

LIFE IS A JOURNEY - pritam anand ji

What is life? It is journey and we can see path in this picture of the roads.  We are from beginning from top to downhill and at the end it is top again.  We are seperated from sat and we have to go back to sat ji. In life we can get ups and downs but at the end we have to merge in sat.

 

 

Yesterday spent few moments in Sat Nature and learnt life is journey don't try to fool yourself and just keep going CHALLI CHAL and MERA SATGURU SADA HAI NALE( My satguru always with me)

 

We are just sharing pictures ji.  BACK TO MAYA AND FACE TOWARDS SAT.  Never look back just CHALI CHAL PICHAY MUR KAY NA DEKH CHALI CHAL THIS IS CALL SAT PATH.

Listen To ALL Of Gurbani several times a year and during amritvela - Dassan Dass Ji

DASSAN DASS I:


sat sat sat bless all


kottan kot dandaut to all braham gyanis sants bhagats satgurus avtars peets peygambers entire dargah 

ik oankaar sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sat sda sda sat

doing sangat here is great getting the divine wisdom and putting in to practice is very important, but sitting in long sessions is more important than anything else you do

your early morning simran is really very important for your spiritual uplift

your mind will go in to total peace only when you sit in long sessions of simran, and please don't count and think that 2.5 hrs of simran is fine, as more simran will help you a lot more


don't waste your time in writing unnecessary and long messages, be short and concise in your messages, share your experiences openly, state your state of mind openly, if you feel like crying do so, never hold anything back and hide, focus on confessions, stay in humbleness, be kind and forgiving, listen to gurbani not kirtan that much, that will help you understand the play of divinity



listening to gurbani has helped us a great deal, focus on the shabd you read or hear, go deep in to it, it will take you in to mansarovar itself, focus on each word of the shabd, don't just look for sound music only go deeper inside the shabd

you can also play gurbani in background when you sit for meditation at a low volume



again not kirtan but gurbani, which is available in 2 CDs now, put the CD in your car while driving you can listen to it - (or download as single MP3 file from https://app.box.com/shared/0vcogiq9x4 )


for folks who can't read gurmukhi listening to gurbani will help a great deal

lot of the suhagans from past sangat failed because they never listened to gurbani, they didn't understand how divinity works, they slipped away in to darkness as they saw and experienced power, then they thought they are done and don't need the satguru anymore, they can do it by themselves and turned their back on their satgurus

as your simran goes higher you will start to understand gurbani more and more and so you will start enjoying it more and more, it will pierce your hirda and eventually it will ring in your rom rom

everyone should listen to entire gurbani several times in a year

when you are home you can keep playing gurbani in the house


it generates positive vibrations and keeps the environment clean, and it will help you by keeping your surat in gurbani during that period of time


you will notice that when gurbani starts your surat gets attracted right there ar the same time and it remains there as long as gurbani is being played


you will not be able to imagine how much amrit is contained in gurbani, it is incredible, infinite bliss contained in it, start listening to it right away, it will take your bandgi to a new dimension


then you will start to know how what is written in gurbani is happening to you in all physical senses

EARN HUMBLENESS AND STAY HUMBLE - DASSAN DASS

DASSAN DASS JI:

(Following humble prayer is something we can all do when we get praise, Dassan Dass ji wrote it after sangat was praising them),



HUM NEECHA KEY NEECH 
HUM GUNEHGAAR 
HUM LOON HARAMI 
HUM BISHTA KEY KIREY KEY DASS, 
SARI WADYAEE SAT PAAR BRAHAM PARMESAR DI 
SARIAN DANDAUTAN SAT PAAR BRAHAM PARMESAR NU, 
TERI UPMA TUJHI KO ARPAN, 
SABH KICHU TERA KUCH NAHIN MERA, 
NAA MEY HOON NAH HAUMAI, 
IK TU HI TU 
TERA HE TERA 
TU THAKUR SWAMI PRABH MERA 

( I am lowest of the low,
I am great offender of my Guru  (I take praise for myself and forget Guru is the power behind me),
I am a great traitor of my Guru (I take glory for myself and forget Guru is the power behind me),
I am a servant of even the worm in excrement,
May all prostrations (dandauth greetings to me) all go to Truth, the Supreme All-Pervading One,
I am a sacrifice for YOUR Glory (not mine),

Neither am I something (pride), nor am I ego (identity),
There is only ONE that is YOU only YOU,
All is YOURS, ONLY YOURS
You are my Lord God and Master.)




STAY IN HUMBLENESS THEN YOU WILL NOT MAKE ANY MISTAKES AND WILL NOT LOOSE YOUR AMRIT

WHEN SOMEONE PRAISES YOU TELL HIM ALL PRAISES IS FOR THE GUR AND GURU

NEVER TAKE IT TO YOUR HEAD AND MAKE IT BIG HEADED

WHEN YOU THINK YOU HAVE BECOME SOMETHING THEN YOU GET IN TO TROUBLE

WHEN YOU THINK YOU HAVE ACHIEVED SOMETHING THEN THAT WILL BRING YOU DOWN INSTANTANEOUSLY 

ALWAYS STAY IN HUMILITY AND KEEP EARNING MORE AND MORE HUMILITY

IF SOMEONE PRAISES YOU THEN GO IN TO MORE HUMBLENESS, THAT IS A TEST FOR YOUR EGO, SO BEAT YOUR EGO AND BE HUMBLE SO YOUR AMRIT WILL GO HIGHER, IF GET IN TO EGO THEN YOU LOSE YOUR AMRIT AND YOUR SIMRAN BECOMES HARD

WHENEVER YOU DO ANY KIND OF SEVA AND GIVE YOUR DASVANDH THEN NEVER THINK THAT YOU HAVE DONE IT, ALWAYS THINK THAT GURU HAS BEEN KIND ON ME HE HAS DONE IT FOR ME, HE IS DOING IT AND GIVING THE PRAISE TO ME, THIS WAY YOU WILL NOT LOOSE YOUR HUMILITY AND YOU WILL CONTINUE TO GO DEEPER IN TO MANSAROVAR

DHAN DHAN SATGUR CHAHUN JUGI AAP APEY PARMESAR

BLESS YOU ALL AND SEE YOU LATER

Re: [SatNaam Parivaar] Maharaj Dassan dass ji ka bachans.

IK ONKAR SATNAAM SATGURPARSAAD.

DHAN DHAN DASSAN DASS JI'S HIGHEST, KINDEST, MOST COMPASSIONATE DIVINE WISDOM:

sat sat sat bless all

TINHA SWAREY NANKA JIN KO NADAR KAREY
(only those are saved o nanak, upon who He casts his look of grace).


we should never look at others' AWGUNS (sins/misdeeds), that will bring ego in us, which hurts us

AWGUN KO NAA CHITAARDA, DEKH KEY ANDITH KARDA
(He, the Lord, does not focus on our sins (if we become his loving devotee), seeing them he overlooks them)

when we look at awguns of others then we breach this divine law 

we also lose love for others

if we really love others and we know the shortcomings of others then we should pray for them with love devotion and trust, which will help others by shattering their karmic layers, and not result in any conflict

that is why we encourage you to pray for others 

no one is perfect and follows the divine wisdom totally 

we all are learners on this path to truth

so please don't loose your compassion love and devotion and follow the divine hukam

be kind and forgive

earn kindness and forgiveness

earn humility devotion and love

your love has infinite divine power, one word that comes out of your hirda drenched in divine love can shake the entire creation

dandaut to you all and bless you all


PRABH KEY SIMRAN GYAN DHYAN TAT BUDH
(In doing satnaam simran , is all divine teachings, surrender/meditation and highest wisdom)

each one of you are priceless for us

your bandgi has infinite importance for us  

not only that your bandgi has infinite importance for entie creation and dargah


your pains are not your pains they are our pains

your success is not your success it is the success of satnaam 

your success is of infinite divine importance

so please focus on your bandgi

ik oankaar sat sat sat 
sat sat sat sat sat sat 
sat sat sat sat sat sat 
sat sat sat sat sat sat 
sat sat sat sat sat sat 
sat sat sat sat sat sat 
sat sat sat sat sda sda sat

Satnaam ji, dandauth ji

it is true we shouldnt go into judging,complaining ,blaming,slandering and hating.

But also we should not stay quiet if someone is doing something wrong , even if it is in sangat or society. 

Why would we stay quiet?  Either we give them the benefit of the doubt or we are scared of confrontation or being rebuked.

People who abuse others wether in society or sangat use the fact that people stay quiet to do even more crime.  Wether it is a child abuser in the family and the family or relatives dont report to the police and just threaten him, but they are too clever and agree to all conditions but still carry on abusing other children.  Sometimes the truth never comes out as in the case of famous personality jimmy saville in the uk and only after his death people came forward.  Or like our child abusing uncle who our family didny report to the police and for next few decades abused other children too and now we reported it,police say he is too old and frail to prosecute...so truth still hasnt come out in wider society.  It is true he will get his punishment after death.  But baba ji also said that these people should be named and shamed infront of society so they should feel sone of the pain they have caused others.

Also even in this sangat, it is true people who have abused the respect they got, the truth came out in the end.  But again if other sangat had come forward in the beginning , others would not have had to suffer as well until it all came out.

So it is not wrong to report wrong doing by anyone wether in society or in sangat.  It is actually wrong to stay quiet,that only favours the abuser,they love society's silence.

We would encourage everyone to inform someone in sangat of any wrong doing, but just state the facts, and dont put emotion into it.   We are not wribg to report someone, and the sooner the better , rather than waiting for many others to get abused as well...forewarned is forearmed.  (look at how k mistreated canada sangat last year until everyones stories came out,no one saw thr bigger picture and it also then prevented others getting abused by her.  Or before thst in uk sangat T (and NJ) were manipulating many sangat with fear and guilt before it came out, even though we reported it as soon as it happened to us).

We should be encouraged to report the rare times someone like that cones into our life, wether at hone or sangat or society.  Dont get into slandering mode thats all.  It is a good deed to report them, you save others.

The second reason not to report someone or stand upto them is fear.  And in sangat many people can be emotionally at a low in their life and need alot of love and encouragement and support.  But an abuser, wether taking their money, or body, emotions, can creatr fear in that person not to report anything.  This is what child abusers do, create fear in the child not to report.

If we have fear then just remember
Guru gobind singh ji wrote,"i will not remain quiet in fear of mortals."

So Dassan dass ji is absolutely right that we should not get emotional when seeing wrong, but we would add to report it right away or confront the person with simple facts and let them habe the right to answer for their actions.  If we wait for truth to come out, others will get abused in the mean time and truth may never come out in their lifetime and they never have to face the naming and shaming due to them.

God bless all.

Suchay pathsha DASSAN DASS JI ka bachans from last night....

never complain about anybody in the sangat

when you do so you do so to satisfy your ego and you fall a prey to maya

even if something wrong is being done somewhere it will surface by itself, we should not judge others at all, if you want to jusdge then judge yourself, point the finger to your ownself, not at anybody else, if you want to slander then slander only yourself

complaining and slandering is a criminal behaviour

and you loose your amrit and fall a prey to maya

it doesn't do good to anybody at all, it only hurts

so please always keep in your mind that HUM NAHIN CHANGEY BURA NAHIN KOI

you should live the gyan that is given to you

it is not only to read, it is to practice, then only you will improve yourself

it is like a piece of knowledge sitting on a shelf, it becomes your wisdom only when you practice it in your daily life

when you complain then you fight the hukam, and as a result you get in to trouble

look at your ownself and tell if you complain don't you get in trouble

slandering means going away from divine love, leaving the love and trust and hanging your head in to the scum of maya as if you want to get it slained

bandgi is to love and not to hate, when you hate or look down upon somebody then you are being robbed of the divine power of love and humility and kindness and forgiveness, and by hating  someone you only burn yourself

complaining against someone else is hatered only

dhan dhan maharaj jee and mata jee nu kottan kot dandaut

just as you all melt in our love when we speak to you same way your love should be so pure and pious that anyone should melt in it even without you speaking a word

so please keep in your mind at all times if your simran is not going good or some days are good others are bad then watch yourself, when it is bad then that means that you must be doing something really stupid

when your thoughts go in to negative mode then your body emits negativity and when you are in love devotion and trust then your body emits positive and powerful vibrations which cool down the environment around you, but negative vibrations cause the nature around you to cry and it drastically effects the people around you

so never become source of negative vibrations, be always positive and filled with trust devotion and love

your transformation should reflect in your daily deeds, your behavor, your state of mind, how you react to the environment around you

so please watch yourself and what you think and do in your daily deeds

focus on SAT DI KARNI - TRUTHFUL DEEDS, LIVE TRUTH SERVE TRUTH AND DELIVER TRUTH

SAT KARNI NIRMAL NIRMALI

Prabh kay simran kaal par harey.
Prabh kay simran dusman tarrey.

Prabh simran kichu bighan naa laagey.
Prabh kay simran andin jaagey.

Prabh kay simran bhau naa beaapey.
Prabh kay simran dukh naa santaapey.

Prabh ka simran sadh kay sang.
Sarabh nidhaan nanak har rang.

so please focus on simran and surrender

do as we say then you will become kamlee in divine love

In praise of dhan dhan dassan dass ji

satnaam  dassan dass ji, dandauth , 

we feel our rebellious egotistical mind has tried to put so much negativity back in our mind towards our dhan gurus, sangat, our past seva, our path, other sangat members,    that we MUST MUST praise, praise , praise and thank, thank , thank each and every sangat member, and our dhan dhan satguru ji's to get rid of that negativity.  Mahara ji also said as well as doing satnaam , keep praise satguru, say DHAN GURU, DHAN GURU.

We are the biggest egotist, ungrateful, 

tum karo bhalla 
hum bhallo na jano 
tum sada sada dyallaa 
tum sukhdaee purakh bidatay 
tum rakho apanaa balaa.  
(You are kind, but we dont recognise it,
you are always compassionate, giver of comfort, supreme being,
you take care of your children.)

Ego wants so much, then fights back when we even become slightly humble.  Same old pattern. May we never leave your charan saran no matter what ego says.  

We owe everything to your kindness on us picking us up out of the scum, everyone we know in sangat, all vadayee we get, even meeting dhan dhan maharaj ji and so many other sants,  is all because of your kindness.   

Please forgive our stupid ego mind always throwing tantrums.  Our ego is the biggest sh*t.  Please forgive us and keep us as your charna da dassee (servant at your lotus feet).

hum gareeeb hum maskeen prabh teray 
har rakh rakh vad vada he. 
(I am poor, humble, but am Yours,
O Lord take care of me, o greatest of the great.)

satnam satnaam satnaam satnaam .  

The seva you do of al sangat is incredible, the amount of filth, problems, dukh.....we cant even deal with our own and get thrown off balance trying to help even one person.  

You are dhan dhan dhan dhan dhan forever, may sat parbhram ji bless u forever ji.

as satnaam dassan dass maharaj baba ji.

parminder ji told us today that he falls asleep after an hour of simran, but then dassan dass ji maharaj gave him darshan and said "do 2.5 hrs then blessings come"

today we overslept....at about 4 am we saw pritam anand ji lying next to us , smiling saying "get up now" ....we are so blessed, such a big papee, pakhandi , hate giver, control freak, slander of sangat, betray er of guru, arrogant sh*t, sanu bax deho, stil satguru ji loves us


When we are calm and humble (and ego is not tormenting us!) we always have this image in our mind now of sitting at Satguru ji's feet, just singing humbly with cupped hands of a beggar, or press those palms on our heart and cherish thier lotus feet in our hirdha, just a humble charnaa dee dasee.  Like how Bhai Lehna ji sat at his dhan dhan beloved satguru nanak dev ji's lotus feet, like how dhan dhan beloved dassan dass ji sat at dhan dhan baba ji maharaj ji's feet, like how all humble divine sikhs sat at their beloved Guru's feet.  Like how Dhan dhan maharaj ji sat/sits at his satguru, dhan dhan sat parbraham pita parmesar ji's lotus feet, charans saran, ik onkar sat parbraham sarn aee....come into the shelter of the one supreme God, Truth.


DHAN DHAN DASSAN DASS JI:

Gurpreeto Ji you are our right hand. 
Sat sat sat bless you with POORAN BRAHAM gyan.

Sometimes we feel like crying so much .. Prabhu you are limitless, pervading everywhere, we are not worthy of even a spec of your love. We have no words sat sat sat sat sat sat sada

satnaam


hum maha kaami kridhi lobhi mohi hankaree papee pakhandi, egotisticaly stubborn donkey, always complaining, cursing, blaming, ungrateful, pls forgive us ji, keep as sangat deh charna de daasee


In the beginning is seva, we think do seva and guru will bless us,  then one day good deeds get accepted by god and guru does bless us with naam,  then we do naam and that is highest seva as its seva of god himself,   and we hope that our seva now will unite is with god....

mukat bugat jugat teree sevaa jis tu aap karaaee,
in your seva is liberation, enjoyment and union, you yourself got us into seva

then one day we if we are blessed

satguru kee seva safal ha je ko karay chit laai
seva of the satguru is successful is it is done with pure heart and mind

 like baba ji and dassan dass ji, and we merge into sat parbraham then seva of blessing others becomes their bhagti.

Stop seeking approval , just love god.

satnaam ji, dandauth ji,

parents have something very powerful that kids want and that is their APPROVAL.   Kids, even as adults , are still seeking (even secretly if not openly) their parents sayibg , yes we approve.   We know we were like that.   Our colleague a chinese lady pushed her kids ALOT music exams, karate, privatr tuition etc.  Kids were way ahead of other kids, but they couldnt sleep, worried alot etc,  we told her all they want is you to love them, but you hold back that love and praise, unless they do x, y and z.  They dont enjoy what they do, but thats the only way they know how to get your approval.

We look at our home life,  religious life, even now in sangat.  Its the same story, all looking for approval, why , so we feel loved.  Why did we start on a spiritual path, to find true love, love that never dies.   What did we get...into religion which made us follow very hard rules and regulations. Why did we follow it? So we would be approved of by religious elders, peers and parents, but ultimately we thought we will be approved by god.....and then he will love us.

Even on this spiritual satnaam path we have been and still are following  very hard discipline, it maybe on the inside rather than outside in religion, but still why do we do it, why do we push ourself so hard on sleep, on long hrs of simran, on hard work, on constant ardases, on confessions , on sharing this gyan, or making books and websites.....all because ultimately we hope guru ji will approve of us, of our seva and god will love us.

Even mike tyson the boxer , was crying in a documentary, saying he just wanted to be loved.  And boxing had become his way of getting praise and approval , what he thought was love.

People do all kinds of things just to be loved, wether rich, famous, criminal or religious.  Other people may not understsnd why they are behaving as they are, but somewhere along the line they are getting approval.

So we feel like we are very tired of jumping through endless relgious or spiritual hoops to get approval in order to gain gods love.

We have no energy left to make any more efforts or share with others or hope by doing more and more religious acts god will be pleased. We have no energy or ideas left.  We have no energy to do long ardases all day long, to get up at certain time, to force our body and mind.   We are finished with efforts that if i do x, y and z guru ji will approve and god will love me.

Today the only ardas we did was

Baba ji please help me.
I need help.
Please help me.

Aap sahaee hoa sacha da sacha tdoa. He himself is the helper and support.

All we said was

Satnaam
And looked and observed satnaam in the thing we were looking at.

In the back of our mind is always ego, the greatest enemy of mine, constantly telling me how much of a faikure i am. Not letting me move forward without reminding me of all the negstives of everything worldy or spiritual i have done.

No more doing x y and z, no more trying to do things which will please guru ji and help me get god.

Just simple

Baba ji pls help me out of ego.
God i want to know your true love.

Satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam
SATNAAM SATNAAM SATNAAM SATNAAM SATNAAM SATNAAM SATNAAM SATNAAM SATNAAM SATNAAM

All we are doing from now on is SATNAAM with awareness of SATNAAM in whatever we are doing.

Pls forgive us our endless mistakes.

Sat Naam isnt a magic pill, its hard work

Ik onkar satnaam satgurparsaad.

So many people have had the great blessings of satnaam.  Yet they still cry, complain, yet their life is still hell.  Their family life is not good, or their financial situation or their marriage or their health.   Then they come back to satguru ji with their problems.

And what answer do they get?  Please do your daswandh of simran and money without fail.

What do we expect? That we have a hell life,no peace, get naam and expect everything to be ok?  Did we think naam is like a pill we get from the doctor to make our symptoms better and we can just carry on with our bad lifestyle?

Did we think everyone else in sangat is putting serious hours into simran, fighting their dhoots, giving up desires ,doing dandauth to family and others who slander us,  but somehow by magic our problems would be fixed just by getting naam and doing it when we feel like it and carry on trying to control others, not change our ways and carry on trying to make our desires come true?

Pls take bhagti seriously, nothing in your life changes unless you change your karma by doing naam, seva and bandagi. 

Addicted to computer games

satnaam eikmeer ji,  we all get addicted to something in life of maya,  baba ji said biggest addiction is ego.  we were addicted to tv, only this last year we now hardly watch it, but started young like you.    if we add up the tens of thousdands of hours we must have watched tv for over over our life, imagine we had put that time into learning an instrument ...they say it takes 10,000 hrs to master an instrument or become top sportsperson, or imagine you put that time into gurparsaadi naam, seva and bandagi ...what will you be like by the time you are our age 44?   Every hour you sacrifice of game and put into bandagi, will add up to 10,000 hours over your life ...you will be master of whatever direction you go into.  Rather than another addict, loser to maya, like tens of thousands around you.  Your choice.

Eikmeer ji , also look how hard it is to give up addiction that you have probably onky made in the last few years. Now imagine how impossible it will be by the time you are our age! 

We used to watch so much tv in childhood because we see the outside world, otherwise we are trapped at home.  Then those programmes give us false dreams, and also later whenever we were down /lonely tv gave us sense of community,exctiement, but we got caught in lust and other dhoots too. 

So same with games, you are young, baba ji says young people are going into maya looking for sukh, we are older and trying to come out after getting dukh. Games and most tv fulfill our boredom, games give u a challenge , excitement, escapism..you can forget about your real life for a while..

But as pritam ji says, they steal your life, and as dassan dass ji says they leave us in hell state of mind, and later real hell as well.

Satnaam created all for satguru

Ik onkar satgurparsaad.

I am full of ego and prideand thieves sanu bax deho.

Thankyou satnaam satguru ji for everything,

Physical body resists amritvela

We found we need at least 6hrs continuous sleep, and then can do a few hrs simran and maybe sleep a bit after that as well. 

Or recently baba ji said to us sleep 4hrs, so we do simran for s while then sleep again...so still get about 6 to 7 hrs sleep

We know dassan dass ji says that the amrit sangat gets from simran means they can sleep much less.  But in our life we have rarely experienced that amrit nasha , so mostly it is a tiring night doing amritvela and we jusy need to sleep enough..by going to sleep early and sleeping after simran as well.

Right now, our eyes get really dry sleeping four hours, and then get blocked pores,infected and now is swollen, this happens everytime we sleep less.  In the past out knees, back and neck gave a lot of probkems, and before that our desire to stay asleep in our warm comfy bed...

So baba ji says when we go todo simran everyobe is against us, including our mind and body.

But we havr to keep on trying , doing ardas and do what we can.

Satguru ji pls help us with our dry eyes, mera dukh sukh tujhee paas, baba ji said once  "you have these eyes and give us the inner eye ji" like baba farid ji.  Satguru ji pls also bless us with amrit at amritvela so we can sleep less rather than just exhaust ourself.

So we have to pray like that to overcome our problems, rather than give up.

Dandauth to all

Feeling overwhelmed

Ravi ji:

Dandauth to u all. Honestly we are so incapable of anything.. Sometimes we think we are trying to eat something bigger than we can chew... Pls god rakh shraddha vesh hirdha

Gur preeto:

....how do you eat an elephant..

One bite at a time!

How do you walk around the world..

One step at a time

How do we conqour the mind, complete the inner pilgrimage, realise the Truth and merge into the love light?

One satnaam and one true deed at a time.

Baba ji says, the moment conquors eternity. 

Means just stay in the present, dont worry about the future.  make this moment truthful, then the next moment truthful, then the next moment truthful and when you look back your whole day was truthful.   But at the beginning of rhe dah if we thought we have millions of moments to make truth ful..it would have seemed impossible.

Like the example u gave us last week, make our plan, then forget the target and just focus on what needs to be done today. 

So basically, when we feel overwhelmed with the amount of work ahesd of us, just break everything down into bitesize pieces.

...same advice goes for us.

Dandauth to all.

Ego pulls us back, guru ji pulls us into the ligh

Ik onkar sat parbraham sarnaee.

Sat charan saran gur ek painda jai chal,
Sat gur kot paindA agay hoi layt ha

Take one step towards shelter.of the guru jis feet,
Satguru ji takes countless steps to welcome us.

Press matha on guru baba jis feet in simran, satguru maharaj welcomes us into the divine light.

Baba (sat parbraham) ji said to us once, tell people to do satnaam, and every time they repeat it i will be in their heart pulling them.into the divine light.

Sat parbraham maharaj ji.dassan dass ji are the LIGHT AT THE END OF THE DARK TUNNEL.OF OUR MIND.

EVERY SATNAAM IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

NEVER THINK YOU ARE NOT GEETING ANYWHERE, THAT IS ONLY EGO TRYING TO MAKE YOU GIVE.UP.

AND EGO WONT STOP WITH NEGATIVE THOUGHTS TILL THE.DAY IT DIES.

IF EGO WONT STOP TRYING TO PULL YOU BACK, THEN BE EVEN MORE DETERMINED TO DO SATNAAM AND GO FORWARD.

RUPY JI:

Thank you Gurpreeto Ji for your words of encouragement, they were meant for us.
We seem to go through this cycle of wonderful Simran sessions, to say the least, all the way to our ego making us feel like we're not "getting anywhere". We had an amazing experience basking in love the morning before last and a restless leg syndrome experience this morning.  We recall the elastic band example you had given ji and just remind ourselves of everything we're being taught here. Slow and steady. No doubts. Just keep going. SatGuru Ji is always with us. We love you all very much. Everyone here just gives and gives. We are eternally grateful to be blessed here.
DHAN DHAN are all of you ji
We are always the dust beneath all your sat charans ji
SATNAAM SATNAAM SATNAAM SATNAAM SATNAAM SATNAAM SATNAAM SATNAAM SATNAAM SATNAAM SDA SDA SATNAAM

GUR PREETO:

Satnaam rupy ji, we struggle with the same, everythibg we write is really a message from baba ji to us as well.

We gave up too many times without this gian of how our ego is playing us.  When we are not doing daswandh of simran then ego gets stronger and all our thoughts are really just ego and we just believe them, becUae we think they are our thoughts.

When we do daswandh of simran and dont miss a day, those five thieves and ego thoughts cool down after a month or so, and it gets easier.

Satnaam baba ji maharaj ji said do satnaam without desires for 30 days and you will see all the filth in your mind.

So look at the stages of the mind

First,  we are just in ego believing our thoughts and actions are right and justified. If we have a desire we just follow it, nothing holds us back except pain later on.

Second, we get blessings of naam and do simran.  Now we have a lamp, and we have light of gian on one side and we can compare our ego thoughts to divine thoughts.  So now if we get a desire, we look at it from persctive of divine wisdom and recogbise this is I WANT, ego and desire.   So now its a test for us.  Do we still follow ego and desire, or do we follow satnaam and sat gian?   So ego is always trying to give us thoughts to pull us back from seva, simran , sangat and full surrender.

Thirdly, we finally surrender, trust in gurbani and guru jis words and not scared of what ego is telling us...o but who will look after your kids, how will you get married, but you need to earn lots of money, but you need more sleep, etc etc

And then we go through the feet of satguru ji into divine love light.

But stage two is the hardest, ego fools us and pulls us back as hard as it can qith all our fears and worries of our survival, our wants, our hopes and dreams.

Satnaam satnaam satnaam

Praise guru, dhan guru and meaning of ji

Satnaam satnaam satnaam ji dhan guru wahe guru sat guru ji

Maharaj said on last weeks recording to also praise our guru (dhan guru) along with our simran (satnaam), 

Satnaam satnaam satnaam ji dhan guru satnaam satguru ji

Satnaam satnaam satnaam ji satguru satguru satguru ji

In uk a few years ago dassan dass ji made us do jap

Satnaam satguru
Satnaam satguru
Satnaam satguru
Satnaam satguru

Actually , sat is the naam, and  sat is the guru we are praising

Satnaam satnaam satnaam ji satguru satguru satguru ji

Maharaj also explained the meaning of ji

They said dhan dhan bhai lehna ji only responded with love to dhan dhan baba nanak ji, by answering "ji"....which is why he passed the final test, when baba nanak ji said, 'eat the corpse under the sheet' and dhan bhai lehna ji said , "ji", but others hesitated.

Maharaj ji said that when bhai lehna ji said "ji" it meant "har ji"....my most respected dearly beloved god

Har ji mata
Har ji pita
Har ji meree sar karay
Hum.har kay barik

Dear god is my mother
Dear god is my father
Dear god takes care of everything of mine
I am the child of my dear god.

This is what dhan bhai lehna ji (as sikh of the guru) saw in dhan baba nanak ji, when they only answered with 'ji', they only stood humble servant infront of dear god. There was no 'kintu pruntu' ..ifs and buts, maybe or maybe not, no doubting, no questioning, only 'ji' to whatever dhan nirankar dhan baba nanak ji his dear guru said.

Then maharaj said, but we have degraded the word 'ji', because any elderly man with a white beard, we start calling them ji,  baba ji, ...when there is no 'har ji/dear god' manifested in them, all they have is a white beard on the outside but dark deeds on the inside.

Also , the first sant we met, he also spoke so sweetly and told us to use ji when talking about the gurus and bhagats,  so not just sant kabir, but sant kabir ji

Ji is so sweet, full of kindness, satnaam satnaam satnaam ji satguru satguru satguru ji

In gurbani it has been used as such, so much sweetness, humbleness in that one word

Har ji mata
Har ji pita

Prabh ji tu mere praan adhara

Satnaam satnaam satnaam ji satguru satguru dhan guru ji.

Bring in sweetness and humbleness into our writing, speech,

Bring in humbleness and lowliness in our actions, do dandauth, massage gursikhs feet

Baba ji maharaj said all that goes with our soul is  the amount of love and loving actions we have all day long whilst doing satnaam.

Satnaam satnaam

Jump into god

We listened to dhan maharajs katha from last wwek in sangat today, maharaj said

Its our job to die for god, and its his job to save us.

Our mum told us a story of saint tulsi das when hrbwas taking some money to the bank , he saw the village head man sat worrying in a tree.  The head man said, he had asked the priest how to meet god and the priest blessed him and said jump out of tree and ram will catch you.   But the head man climbed but now couldnt jump.. tulsi dass ji said , lets swap, you give me the blessing and i will give u this money.  The head man got relieved, climbed down took the money and ran. Tulsi dad climbed the tree, prayed and jumped and RAM (god) caught him.in spiritual arms.

That story inspired us all the time to trust gurbani and not to worry about maya (how will i live, marriage, job etc).  Applies to us now as well.

Satguru ji, may we also jump into your arms and kick out our worries. Worries only stop us jumping.  In ou 20s When we had no house, lived alone, no partner, not much money, we took many more risks and were prepared to die for god and thats how divine light came to us.  But now in our  40s we have all those things and hold back on dying for god.

Satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam.

Falling asleep at amritvela

Dassan dass ji:

when you lack commitment then you fall sleep (miss amritvela/fall asleep)

You have to delete all useless activities from your daily life.

Focus only on simran and job.

Those who really want to dedicate to simran then you have to make drastic changes in your daily routines.

Try or die - beating depressed state of mind

Hum maha kaami krodhi lobhi mohi hankaree, sanu bax deho.  We are mentally sick, we need simran to heal us, we have to try harder, we have to do whatwver it takes, we cant give up, giving up means we go back into hell, we have no choice but to keep climbing our mental blocks.  We cant see the light at the end of the dark tunnel, all we know is the darkness we are in, but we trust in satnaam satguru and keep on walking , no matter how much the mind keeps telling us to give up, that the light is for others, the light is not in our destiny, the light is not in this life.   We have to carry on, we cant stop, where will we go if we dont even try.  Baba ji said , "i would rather try and fail 1000 times than to never have tried".  But every time we fail, another part of us gives up, gets down,  too many failures , leads to depressed state of mind, and we give up. And it gets harder to get up and start again for the 1001st time.  That is our state of mind.  But pritam anand ji said, yes plan ahead, but accept the outcome as good whatever happens, then we live in peace, in hukam.  We have to try else we die without fulfilling our true destiny.  Satnaam forgive our sins, forgive our sickness, forgive us forgive us for giving up, forgive us for losing hope,  for no longer even trying. Only you can breath life back into this dead body, only you can pick up this fallen drunk (on wine of maya), only you can water this withered plant with the nectar of your naam, sat naam sat naam sat naam, only you can break our chains and remove our pains, only by repeating sat naam again and again.  We cant give up in bhagti, we cant give up in family, we cant give up in job or study, we have to do all with dedication, focus and commitment, we have to beat our mental sickness and not be beaten by it. In Satnaam we trust, we may never see the spiritual delights, like divine light, anhad vajay, guru darshans, amrit intoxication and so on, but at least we can get out of hell of depressed mind and five thieve living.

Satnaam satnam satnaam bless us all, hear our fallen call, other than you , my satguru, we have no one, we have to try or die.

Satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam

Bhagti never ends

Bhagti  is a never ending journey, there is no finish line, there is no rushing that will get us there quicker. All we can do is keep talking one step at a time, one breath at a time, one satnaam at a time, and say it with love in our mind.  And we will transform ourself over time.  We are not the same person we were as a baby, or a child or a teenager , every decade we change alot.  But big changes are the result of little transformations every day.

Pritam anand ji:

Dandout bandana to all of you ji.  Satnaam ji bless all with his grace and shower mercy upon all and everyone do puran bandagi and niskaaam seva satnaamji

We have NAAM BEEJ( SEED OF NAAM) We have to keep it safe and keep working on our own mind field.   and make a plant  of SAT in our own mind to become selfless, kind being, loving being.  When this Naam tree will grow means all the virtues will be fruit of this tree.  satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam ji.

Any bad thought pop in our own mind we have to catch that thought and work on that thought with satgurus pita ji grace and pull that thought out of our own mind same way we take out weed from the grass.  If we leave weed roots in the grass then weed comes again.  That's why we do simran and sewa and keep working to take out all the weed out and then let the grow goodness.

If we have to work on one thought for months months so what, we have to eliminate bad thought from our mind field.  HASTE MAKES WASTE.  Here is no rush not at all.  HEY MAN MERIA SATGURU KAY BHANAE CHAL( O MY MIND WALK UNDER THE WILL OF TRUE GURU.)

Riddle..mundavani meaning

Daily gurbani ------

English Translation:

Shalok, Third Mehl: Upon the plate, three things have been placed; this is the sublime, ambrosial food of the Lord. Eating this, the mind is satisfied, and the Door of Salvation is found. It is so difficult to obtain this food, O Saints; it is obtained only by contemplating the Guru. Why should we cast this riddle out of our minds? We should keep it ever enshrined in our hearts. The True Guru has posed this riddle. The Guru's Sikhs have found its solution. O Nanak, he alone understands this, whom the Lord inspires to understand. The Gurmukhs work hard, and find the Lord. ||1||

Dhan guru amar das ji is talking about the riddle to be solved.  Riddle is called mundavani.   Guru amar das ji what are these three things on the plate that are food for the sikhs? The guru has posed the riddle, the sikhs have worked hard to find the answer. Riddle /question is...what are these three foods in the plate?..what food? Whst plate?

And only those god inspires can find the answer.

In rahras sahib, and at the end of guru granth sahib ji, answer is given by guru arjun dev ji shabad mundavani (riddle) mahalla panjvaa....

Ambrosia, Fifth Mehla: 
Upon this Plate, three things have been placed: Truth, Contentment and Contemplation.
The Ambrosial Nectar of the Naam, the Name of our Lord and Master, has been placed upon it as well; it is the Support of all.
One who eats it and enjoys it shall be saved.
This thing can never be forsaken; keep this always and forever in your mind.
The dark world-ocean is crossed over, by grasping the Feet of the Lord; O Nanak, it is all the extension of God. ||1||

We all want to know how to obtain god , that is the question (riddle).  Answer is to earn

1.Sat santokh...permanent satisfaction comes only from sat, all other things we get , we get tired of.
2. Vicharo...think about gurbani, gurmat and how much our life is out of sync, bring it into our life.

3. Amrit naam..bring it into our heart, it supports all.

Our pains are due to our bad deeds

Satnaam

Ravi ji:

Satnaam ji thank u for ur blessings. Our nephew jay still seems ill and his cough has got worse unfortunately, pls god bless him with good health, we cant bear to see him in such distress. Tuhi tuhi dukh bhajan tuhi tuhi niranjan jyot x

Dassan dass ji:

Sat sat sat bless you all.

Tell Jay to do satnaam simran.

Whatever physical sicknesses we get is to pay for our KARAMS (bad deeds are like black stains of lifetimes (janam janam.kee mayl) on our astral body (covering our immaculate soul).

Because we misuse our body under the slavery of KAAM KRODH LOBH MOH AHANKAAR that is why we get sick.

If you really want to pray for the person so he gets blessed with bandgi.

So if you want to pray somebody pray for him to get the gurparsaad.

Don't get emotional when you see someone sick. Get compassionate and pray for real divine blessings for them.

Choose your company (sangat) carefully

Satnaam satnaam satnaam
Dandauth to all

Everything we do is sangat.  Sangat is just company, in sadh sangat we go towards the light, in bad sangat..ku-sangat we go towrds the the darkness.

So whatever we are keeping the company of is our sangat.  Wether it is a book, a tv programme , video game, sports game, friends, family , gurdwara, music, songs,  job, colleagues and so on.

And we need to keep asking ourself, is this sangat getting me closer to god, love,light, kindness, compassion, selflessness , caring, honesty and other good qualities.

Or is it bringing out sex, violence, kiling, greed, attachments, pride, jealousy, gossip, slander,late sleeping, drinking , swearing and so on.

Karmee apo apanee ke neray ke dhoor

...our deeds are our own responsibity, some go nearer to god , others further away.

Jini naam dhiaaya gae maskat gal, nanak te mukh ujalay ketee shutee naal

But above deeds is naam, the ones who did satnaam worked in the right direction , tgeir faces shine bright and many others go along with them.

So it is very important to keep assessing what kind of sangat we are getting all day long in our activities...sadh sangat or ku-sangat.

Satnaam satnaam satnaam
Meree mat thoree ram
Sanu bax deho
Gurmukh nimaana hohu

Watch out for Pride of our path

Sabh teree vadaee satguru ji, koe nao na janay mera, pls take all praises of us from all sat sangat ji and place at your feet, and pls fulfil all their hopes and prayers ji.

Lowest is sweetest, there is only pride in being something, better to be nothing, a no one rather than someone.

The police raided bulleh shah's house, they asked the disciples , who are you, they replied with pride,'we are dsciples of bulleh shah',  the police beat them.up.  they asked bulleh shah, whi are you and he rellied, i am no one,nothing.   They left him alone and went away.

After the police left,the disciples said why did we get beaten and not you.   Bulleh shah ji said, because you became something....pride.

Same on this path, lets not get proud that we have naam and guru and we are special , and on the right path, and others are on the wrong path or lesser path. And dont think i have spiritual gifts that makea me special,  Then we become something and that is pride.

Stay as lowest, garebee ves hirdha is best,  if dhan baba nanak ji, god on earth, greatest musician and poet says...i am just a low caste singer, others claim.to be high......hau tadhee ka.neech jat, hor utam jaat sadaayday.....then let us stay low too.

Others have their destiny , we have ours, if they ask us for gian , we can share, or we can ask them to share their gian and then share ours.  But if we just tell them do satnaam, its because we think we are doing right and they are doing less.  It maybe true, but having that thought is pride. So always stay as learner, we can learn from.everyone, even a drunk, and if.they want to know we can share without pride and if its their destiny they will pursue.

Our only job is to beat our five thieves in all our daily interactions.  So good deed is not telling others to do satnaam , its about did we stay as lowest?   Good deed is not beating other people in arguments with our higher gian, its about did we keep ego and pride under our heels and stay as footwasher of other person.

Whenever we see are going into ego and pride, or any dhoot, we need to STOP right away, and either walk away if we vant control dhoots, or just pray formforgiveness and wash their feet, or say sorry tor.other person if we did something out of thives eg anger, ego etc

In our religious days we were proud of bana, of being sikh of tenth guru, of being bettrr than others are not wearing 5ks, of thinking we are better than other religions, even of other sikh groups.   Every religion makes followrrs proud so they dont leave, and put down other groups , so we feel ee are best.

We did the same thing first few yrs in satnaam sangat. Got proud we are on right path, ee have real guru, we have real naam, we are right, others are wrong.....then thought came...first we were proud of waheguru waheguru and preaching sikh beliefs,  now we are proud of satnaam satnaam and preaching dassan dass jis gian....

But problem is we are still the same donkey underneath, just changed our skin!

We said to dassan dass ji that first we were preacher in sikhism, now we just feel like preacher here, but still do not know god inside.

Dassan dass ji said, well if u know the problem fix it.

We really are the biggest , most stubborn proud donkey..whatever we do we think is right!

Same in our married life, we looked back saw we have had same attitude with wife and parents.   Then we let it all go, live and let live , we just need to beat five thieves like baba ji told us from day one.

Even mind goes after spiritual experineces and that is ego wanting , haumai and trishna, both of which baba nanak ji says we must get rid of.
Notice whenever u feel down after doing simran, its because mind/ego is complaining nothing spiritual happened.  Or other times u may feel really good and want to tell others what happened because we are proud that we have become something.  So because our wife/parents think we are on the wrong path, we want spiritual experiences to prove to them we are right.....again all pride.

So its not about proving anything to others or converting others or preaching to others to justify we are right.  Our path is about getting naam.and gian and earning it to beat our ego and pride and thieves.  Preaxhing is easy, earning is hard.

God bless all.

Wake up and do simran

SAtnaam ji.
