Honour others, God honours you

Satnaam Satnaam Satnaam ji Dandauth bandhna ji

Uplift others, put in a good word for them,  talk good about them,   it's easy to say negative things,  better to praise and uplift.     Start with family,  friends,  colleagues. Talk good behind their back, rather than bad.     .... Just watch Christian minister Joel oleen.      Really applies to us.  Don't say or do enough to praise, thank,  or be positive about others.

Sat sat sat bless all.    Don't talk bad about even those who stop us from coming to Sangat.   Still only praise their good points.   It makes the habit in us to be positive.    If we keep seeing negatives in others we make our mind negative.

Don't talk bad about your kids or spouse or colleagues or boss.    Have a good attitude towards everyone. Don't disrepect anyone,  don't even think I am better than others, or I hate this job,  or I would have been better off not getting married or having kids.   We are then disrespecting those people. God gives us honour when we give give honour to others.   In gurbani, many times we ask for God to protect our honour, meree laaj rahee.   That God our dearly beloved is our    honour, maan karo tudh uparay mere preetam pyare.     We seek honour from God,  for God to be proud of us, like a parent loves their child,  like baba ji gives all of us so much praise and love and honour in his divine court.   So we too need to understand we have the same power to honour and cherish and uplift those around us too.

Not just to think good of others,  but to say it as well.  And not to say anything negative.   Dassan dass ji said once that it's not for the guru to point or our weaknesses,  satguru ji only overlooks our sins and uplifts us.   And then it's for us to look inside and point out our own weaknesses and in doing so we overcome them.    So we too have the power to overlook others faults and forgive them and only uplift them.  Say and do good for them.   God sees we are honouring others and in turn we are honoured in God's court with shining faces.

Vich duniya sev kamaayaa, Har dargah baysan paayaa, kahu nanak  bahu laadaaiyaa.... Serve others in the world, you will get a place in God's court (be honoured),  nanak says this with arms outstretched welcoming the Lord.
