Don't be a victim

Satnaam  ji,

your family are a den of snakes.  Doesn't mean the physical family. Means your five demons,  your destructive mind (seen as mum saying pakhandi) ,  maya,  laziness (seen as your brother sleeping).    These are our closest family, the ones that live with us day and night in our mind.    Now make Satnaam, Truth, your family.  Satnaam parivaar.  Naam is the only family of a brahmgiani.    Also stop seeing yourself  a victim at the mercy of the people around you.    That they have control over you and what you and where you go.     And then in frustration you wish they there you out. Still giving them control to choose what happens to you.  When we were a teenager we wished our parents would die then I could love who I wanted.  We didn't have Naam or gian or any sangat.   We were a victim.   You may still have to stay with the people around you for however long, that is as per your destiny. But dont think of yourself as a victim.   Just sau,  God you want me to be here right now, fine. And one day when you want me to do some th ing else then fine as well.    Be at the mercy of God not people. There was a Jewish professor in the holocaust camps. Everyone else got depressed because they became victims, thinking  we have no freedom and are at the mercy of these nazis .   But he decided not to be a victim. Sure he couldn't change the situation, but he changed his attitude. And everyday he stuck to his daily routine in his imagination, beloved I am still a teacher,  imagined going to work,  giving lectures and he stayed postive.    Guru gobind singh ji shows a whole nation don't be victims any more.  Same with gandhi.    Just change your attitude.   We have given mind, body, everything  to satguru.  Now he is in control of where we are and for how long.  If he wants us to sit in our hell situation, so trust he knows best. He wants us to do Naam simran right where we are so he can transform the place.   We first thought  4hrs commuting  everyday... Very  hard. Now we realise satguru  wants us to do Naam simran for London to get blessed.   When we see things from our ego point of view we see how bad it is for us.  But if we see it from God's point of view, he has given us Naam and gian and put us here to bless the place we are in.     So don't be a victim, ego complains and blames and resents.   We gave everything to God, so do Naam and practise being humble.
