Stay connected to your spirit

Satnaam ji,  Dandauth bandhna anek bar jao baray

Even if you miss amrit vela, do it during the day to catch up,  and still do half an hour in the evening and little bit before going to sleep. And good deeds all day long. Satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam

What you do and think during the day effects what you dream and do at night.

The most important thing is to stay connected to your spirit,  so keep reading /listening to gurbani,  satnaam. Info,  Kirtan,  baba jis talks,  etc stay connected  all day long,  every day,  otherwise the darkness takes over little by little and before we know it we are drenched in the scum of maya again.   Happened to us so many times in the past, that's why we started doing email and website seva,  it kept us connected to satguru jis through their words.   We went to India once soon after meeting dassan dass ji online, and had no connection  and went back into maya.  That when we realised how important it is to stay  connected to Sangat and satguru everyday.

Their words are our lifeline,  they are ship,  satguru ha bohitha, they sail above our maya mind,  we have to hold onto the lifeline they have given us,  otherwise we down back into our lower consciousness.

Everyone needs to do something to uplift others on a daily basis.   Uplifting others also uplifts you.   Look at satguru jis, uplifting others day and night.  We also have to take inspiration  from that,  sat ram das means God is servant of all,  we have to also become servant of all for GOD to manifest inside us.   Maharaj ji said look at baba farid jis mother, she uplifted her son to do bhagti using the sweets to make him do his prayers.  But look at other parents,  are we uplifting our kids or those around us too? Most people are just pushing their kids and those around them into maya by giving them world dreams only.  It's not bad to strive to do well,  but not at the expense of ignorance of your spirit.

Get involved in uplifting others.  Some are doing seva of Sangat,  some are doing seva with charities,  if you are not doing anything for others then get involved, it easy just to consume gian from others seva,  and to consume Langar at other people's houses hosting Sangat,  but it's better to be a giver,  dassan dass ji said he wants everyone to be blessed with a a giving, giving, giving attitude.

Satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam

Take less,  give more.

Maharaj said if you go to the gurdwara eat just a handful of food,  but do lots of cleaning seva(shoes, dishes, toilets, carpets, windows etc)  to earn humility and no need to sit in the main hall,  you can do simran at home,  go there to do seva, give more,  take minimum.  Also when you bow,  do anjuli.. Crawl on your knees and then Dandauth in front of everyone,  maharaj said he didn't in front of 1000 people it will kill ego.   And drop just a tiny coin in the money box, because money causes all the problems in the gurdwara,  better to give food for Langar and do seva, .   So we still give some money and eat a little.  We don't want to abstain and then get proud of our superior beliefs,  just stay low,  give more and take less,  focus on that principle,  do seva everyday for those around you,  help with sangat and website etc.
