Practise what you preach

Satnaam Satnaam Satnaam

St Francis of assissi said,  "preach the gospel,  use words only if necessary."

It means that we must Practise what we preach. Even better than that is to just become Truth,  Love and compassion,  just become Satnaam,  and we don't even have to tell anyone to do Satnaam.  People around us like family and friends see we are calm and kind, they also cool down.    We used to preach alot to our family and friends,  but if they have different beliefs they resist and fight  back.  Then it's just frustrating.   Then we just prayed for everyone and worked on changing ourself.  We calmed down,  they also calmed down.    Ghandi said,  "be the change you want to see in the world."

We always tell our kids do your simran, get up early.   Once tavleen said,  "simran is supposed to make you happy but you are grumpy."    we said,  "imagine what we would be like if we didn't do it!"    but the point is our telling them to do simran has no effect if we are not becoming Truth, Love and compassion ourself.  Satnaam.
