Fear, doubts, worries

[18:02, 09/09/2014] Gur Preeto: Someone took your chappals, that's their bad deed.  Outside is just give and take, karma playing out.   Regardless of Whatever happens outside, look inside to see how you react.  Then you have to deal with what comes up inside you and conquer it.

[18:03, 09/09/2014] Gur Preeto: So what came up inside you.... Fear of bad luck,  worries about losing amrit.

[18:05, 09/09/2014] Gur Preeto: So mind is giving you dear and worries.  And also doubts that you have Naam,  and doubts that your guru is bigger than these spirits. That's what you have to conquer.  Fear,  worries and doubts.

[18:05, 09/09/2014] Gur Preeto: So then look further inside,  why do I have fear? Why do I have doubts? Why do I have worries?

[18:06, 09/09/2014] Gur Preeto: Keep going to the root cause.  We have to pull the weed out from the roots so it never grows again.

[18:09, 09/09/2014] Gur Preeto: We can only lose the blessings if we don't do what the guru said to us. So if we stop doing Naam simran and praising and seva and Sangat,  we lose blessings.  No one can steal them from us from outside.   Only five thieves can steal our amrit from inside us if we don't surrender to satgurus Sat bachans.

[18:11, 09/09/2014] Gur Preeto: Har bisarath Tere gun galia.. Forgetting God your goodness rots away.

Bin gun keetay bhagat na hoi.. Without doing good deeds there is no bhagti.

[18:13, 09/09/2014] Gur Preeto: You  have to realise that how your mind reacts is your enemy, not any outsider or spirits or robbers.

[18:14, 09/09/2014] Gur Preeto: Fears,  worries,  doubts,  five thieves are all generated by the mind due to how it perceives what is happening around it.

[18:15, 09/09/2014] Gur Preeto: Yes,  that's OK,  baba ji told us as well the mental habits we have made over our lifetime are going to take some time to reprogramme.

[18:17, 09/09/2014] Gur Preeto: So that's why we have to just keep practising the new way, gurmat way, of looking at each situation.   Baba ji told us,  no one outside us is our enemy, only our five theives.   Hum nahee chunga bura nahee koee, pranvat nanak taray soi.

[18:19, 09/09/2014] Gur Preeto: You have satguru, you have been given gift of Naam in the first email dassan dass ji sent you and said to do satnaam satnaam simran,  and you have sat sangat family,  and no one can take this away from you... Ever.  We can only lose it if we don't do our bhagti.

[18:20, 09/09/2014] Gur Preeto: So it's in our hands to build our amrit and to preserve it by not letting five thieves steal it.

[18:20, 09/09/2014] Gur Preeto: When you go into fears,  doubts,  worries etc those negative thought patterns draw the amrit,  drain your energy.  Nothing and no one else.

[18:22, 09/09/2014] Gur Preeto: So when something happens on the outside you have to keep asking yourself what is the reaction inside me

[18:22, 09/09/2014] Gur Preeto: What negativity has mind gone into?

[18:22, 09/09/2014] Gur Preeto: Then deal with the negativity using gurmat and prayers.

[18:23, 09/09/2014] Gur Preeto: Eg if mind is asking why did I get dukh? Then just say to God,  I sowed it so I had to reap it,  please forgive me and bless me.

[18:24, 09/09/2014] Gur Preeto: If mind is full of fear.  Then ask what am I scared of losing... Health,  property,.. Then just say to God,  even if I lose my health or mind or property, it's all yours anyway, may I never lose your name.

[18:25, 09/09/2014] Gur Preeto: Fear of losing something is why people get attached to those things. So that is moh thief.

[18:26, 09/09/2014] Gur Preeto: So if we get angry with someone then we have to see why we are unhappy and forgive the other person.

[18:26, 09/09/2014] Gur Preeto: And that's in your hands, no one elses.

[18:30, 09/09/2014] Gur Preeto: Satgur mil dib drisht hoee.. Meeting the satguru we get the gift of insight.    So you can start understanding how your mind is running and fooling you into blaming /fearing others.

[18:31, 09/09/2014] Gur Preeto: Then you can conquer it.  Otherwise no one understands their mind. And all doctors do is give tablets for symptoms but can't cure the mental sicknesses.

[18:32, 09/09/2014] Gur Preeto: Yes do your Naam, seva and bandagi diligently and you are the winner.
[18:32, 09/09/2014] Gur Preeto: Forget it and you are the loser.  Choice is same for all of us.

[18:34, 09/09/2014] Gur Preeto: Yes,  and whenever you do feel tired,  or drained, or find it difficult to concentrate just keep doing humble ardas,  talk to maharaj ji inside your heart.

[18:35, 09/09/2014] Gur Preeto: Gurbani is full of verses which are asking for blessings  forgiveness,  for help,  for mercy,  for grace, for Naam,  seva and Sangat.  So we have to do the same.

[18:35, 09/09/2014] Gur Preeto: You can use gurbani or you can just say in your own words.

[18:35, 09/09/2014] Gur Preeto: Maharaj hears true prayer from your heart.

[18:36, 09/09/2014] Gur Preeto: Ok God bless you, keep going, you are doing great.

[18:36, 09/09/2014] Gur Preeto: Love and blessings,  Dhan Dhan sukhee raho ji.
