Satnaam
Our daughter Tavleen was saying she would rather do satnaam than type satnaam on kakao sangat chat group.
We said to her to trust dassan dass ji and go on to kakao and do some satnaam. That baba ji has said that kakao and the website are the heart of God. That if we go to them with devotion then they are the real gurdwara - door to God. So we said you wouldn't go the gurdwara and just sit and do simran, first you would go and bow to guru and Sangat and do your prayer for forgiveness and blessings and thanks. Same way when dassan dass ji or baba ji are infront of us we first do Dandauth and offer our prayers with devotion.
So have the same devotion when coming on kakao and the website. We are meeting our all pervading guru in the Internet gurdwara. We told her that we are very lucky to have such easy access to the divine beings. Because we searched for 16 yrs before we met dassan dass and baba ji.
When we were young we used to ask our mum the same thing, "what's the point of going to the gurdwara when we can just do simran at home?"
She told us "everyone is searching and praying for God but gurbani says without a guru they don't get very far. So we go to the gurdwara and we hope that maybe, just maybe there is a divine being sitting in the sangat who will hear our prayer and bless us."
We always remembered that, we always prayed at the gurdwara that some kind blessed soul will hear our prayer and pass it to God.
So after many years of seva and prayers we were blessed with dassan dass ji's sangat on email. Still we had to wait a few days before we got a reply. A few weeks if they were on holiday. But we treasured those emails and had thirst to open them, we even felt amrit from them. Then we met them after 2 years and only every few years since then.
Now look with kakao how easy it is, satguru ji is instantly available. Prayers and devotion and confessions from the heart shared here are instantly blessed by the heart of God, dassan dass and baba ji maharaj. (Incidentally, we told baba ji about what our mum said, he said it was true, we earned it by finding divine soul, but she never earned it herself because even getting blessed by dassan dass ji she never surrendered.)
To give an example of how satguru hears our prayers, baba ji said the first time they took pain happened like this.
When they were doing their bandagi at the gurdwara for those seven years that they were in samadhi and felt so much negativity come to them. They washed it in an instant with God's name, but opened their eyes to see where it came from. There was a middle aged lady praying infront of gurbani guru. Her prayers were heard by God and came to the nearest heart God was in to be answered. Baba ji took her pains, she left clean.
Baba ji said all these prayers in the gurdwara are going nowhere if there is no sant sitting there. No one is taking and clearing the pains of the sangat if there's no divine soul there. That people make Langar with hopes and wishes for their hardships to be solved and their desires to be fulfilled, but all that negativity just goes into the food and is shared by the sangat as they eat it. It doesn't get cleared, just distributed. Makes everyone a little bit more negative.
Also, praying for deceased souls by the priests has no effect either.
Ritual readings that people pay for and don't listen to nor put into practise achieve nothing either.
Without a sant all these activities are wasted efforts.
So when we have satguru on kakao and the website, then our prayers and efforts reach the right place. (By the way baba ji said if we go to the gurdwara, eat less just a handful, bless those who made it, serve more, clean shoes, wash dishes, erase our ego, then going to the gurdwara us good. Give more than we take.)
