Our bad habits keep us in the darkness

Satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam

Instead of resenting others,  forgive them and pray good for them.

Whatever we are negative about,  pray,  satguru ji bless us with good thoughts and gurus wisdom.   

If we complain about our situation,  we are just sowing negative thoughts,  which we reap in the next moment as more negativity in our mind.

Baba ji maharaj used to get to the gurdwara in the early hours and there were hundreds of dirty dishes left from the evening before.  They never complained,  but prayed to God,  "please give me more dishes to wash".    Great attitude to everything we don't want to do,  but need to do, in life.

We have to notice all the negative manmat statements in our mind and pray to guru ji to help us choose gurmat instead.

We don't need to complain,  but we do need to accept the situation we are in is as per our karma.   And if it's not a good situation,  then pray to satguru ji to help us improve our situation and then make a plan and make positive efforts,  rather than complaining, blaming,  resenting,  hating and self destructing.

Baba ji maharaj said that there are people who have been listening to him for the last 13 years and not improved themself.   Why? Because it's not about sitting physically close to baba ji and holding his feet,  it's about who holds onto their divine words and puts them into practise.  Otherwise baba ji said even he can't break our very bad habits of ignoring divine words and doing our manmat.

Baba ji stressed that it's our bad habits that keep us in the darkness.    So how do we change.  Just notice our negative thoughts and actions and feelings,  and pray,  to satguru ji to please help us choose good thoughts and gurus wisdom, satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam satnaam
