Do you believe in God?

Ik onkaar satnaam satgurparsaad.param jyot puran prakash. Dhan dhan sat parbraham pita parmesar.

Sadhguru asked, "Do you believe you have hands, or do you know you have hands?"

So ask yourself, "do i believe in God or do I know God?"

If we are just at the level of believing, then dont be satisfied with just that. Otherwise you have made this path the same as religion. Because religions are full of people who confuse believing in God as being the same as knowing god and hence being authorised to preach and convert/save others.

Religions and families and religious places are very good at making their followers 100% into believers, making them unshakeable, making them even ready to die for their beliefs. But even religions keep changing their beliefs over time (christians used to believe earth was flat and women were temptresses, sikhs have changed from living guru to scriptures as guru, etc).

Even in this path, you maybe content that you believe satguru ji is God in earth, you may believe sangat is great, you may believe you are on the right path and others are not. However, unless this path leads you to knowing god for yourself, it has just kept you in beliefs. So everyday pray to satguru ji, "may i know you on the inside, may i know you for myself."

Fwd: Fall down 12 times...

> Satnaam
>
> Everytime we lose to the fives we feel really bad, maybe guilty, maybe want to give up even trying to beat them anymore as we have failed so many times. Its good to remember a few things like:
>
> Fall down 12 times get up 13 times ,
>
> 1)Accept our mistakes as our own fault (dont blame others eg she made me angry, it was out choice to get angry or to forgive, or to walk away when we realised we are getting agitated etc)
>
> 2) confess it to god-guru-sangat , at least to god-guru baba ji in your own heart
>
> 3)then we may still feel bad as mind/ego is good at reminding us how useless and how much of a failure we are. Which then drains us of amrit and makes us more tired and wanting to go back into the laps of maya fpr comfort, but tell maya, "you are not my mother, or lover, i dont need any comfort from you, only from satguru, satnaam prabh ka sukhdaee..the lords name sat is my comfort."
>
> 4) remember no matter how bad we feel for what we have done, its our actions that were bad, but not us. The soul inside shines bright like the sun inside our heart, just dark clouds of maya have come infront. So just do ardas , clear the clouds and focus on the sun inside, and forget the bad deeds. God forgives as soon as we ask. Sun doesnt hold grudes against us, so we shouldnt keep beating ourself up either. New day, new sun, new start, start again.

> 5)baba ji says keep going..chalee chal. Tell me any healthy baby which gave up trying to walk or talk? All of us must have struggled for years as toddlers but we all can walk and talk, nonr of us are still crawling or babbling baby talk! So we have the same process in bhagti, we will overcome maya: five thieves and desires, just going to take some time. And satguru is the greatest parent always there to pick us up on this path which is sharper than a sword and finer than a hair.

Ik onkar sat

Ik onkar sat naam sat gurparsaad. Param jyot puran prakash. Dhan dhan sat patbraham pita parmesar.

Sit up straight.
Take a few deep breaths.
Breathe in light breathe out darkness.
Breathe in love breathe out hatred.
Breathe in peace breathe out fears and worries.
Breathe in light breathe out light.
Breathe in sat, breathe out naam.

Put hands infront of heart in prayer position.
Imagine brave guru baba jis feet above your head. Sir oopar tada gur soora.

Pray "dear satguru baba ji may we merge with you, become the purest channel for the highest divine good. Baba ji we dont know anything, please focus our mind on your lotus feet, please take these eyes and open our inner eye."

Imagine your forehead pressed on baba jis holy feet.

Santeh charan hamaro matha, nain daras tunn dhoor paro. My forehead is pressed on the saints feet, may my eyes behold them and my body be covered with their foot dust.

Focus on third eye and recite inside for hours and hours:

Ik onkar sat
Sat naam sat
Karta purakh sat
Nirbhau sat
Nirvair sat
Akal moorat sat
Ajuni sat
Saibhang sat
Gurparsaad sat.
Jap munn sat
Sada sada sat.

...carry on.

This is your life

Ik onkar sat naam
Sat gurparsaad
Param jyot puran prakash
Dhan dhan sat
Parbraham pita parmesar.

Bandagi (voluntary divine slavery)
---- ---

Bandagi is not a hobby
Or just a part of my life
Bandagi is everything
Bandagi is my life.

Sant kabir ji spoke
The Truth, when he said:
"O slave(banda), do banda-gi
Whilst you still have
Breath in your body."

Either we are doing bandagi
Or we are consumed in gandagi (filth).

Either we are manmukh (ego centered)
Or gurmukh (Truth centered).

Either we are a slave of Maya
Or a slave of Truth.

Either we are in Sach khand (realm of Truth)
Or we are just living in pakhand (hypocrisy, saying onr thing but doing another).

Either we have merged in the Divine light,
Or we are the blind leading the blind.

Either we have our own divine love story to tell,
Or we are empty and living off preaching stories of past gurus and their divine words.

Either we have surrendered to the guru who have us satnaam,
Or we are still doing as we desire
And wondering why no progress.

Either we are a dog at His door
Or we a dog chasing its tail
Going round and round
Crazy in the chase of maya.

Either we give up everything to satguru, and trust and truly believe he ia taking care if everything, and we just have to take care of our bandagi,
Or we still fill with worries, anxieties and fears because we think ego takes care of money, kids and family.

Either we accept he is the real creator and doer, or we still fight his hukam by trying to make our wishes come true.

Either we come into line with his divine will as per the gurus words,
Or we carry on suffering listening to the worldly words in our mind.

Either we live for the love of the creator,
Or we live for the enjoyments of his creation.

Either we pray for his gurparsaadi naam, seva and bandagi,
Or we carry on living a life of gandagi.

Bandagi is not a hobby
Or just a part of my life
Bandagi is everything
Bandagi is my life.

God bless all to surrender all.

No joy at amritveal

Satnaam

Reply to a qn to someone who missed amritvela for a week, went into maya and then wonders why he is not experiencing any joy?

REPLY:

Satnaam ji

You have to surrender 100%, there is no other way. Missing a week of amritvela and then wondering why you are not experiencing joy, is the reason. Give up worldly desires, do bhagti day and night, do seva like guru amar das ji for 12 years not missing a day to fetch water at amritvela for his satguru. Sit for 26yrs likes guru tegh bahadur ji not missing a day.

Your ego is complaining, tell your ego you dont deserve anything, really become a kutha /dog of the guru, if guru gives you something spiritual be thankful, and if he doesnt then dont go back into maya, sit patiently at your masters feet.

Tell your ego when it complains

Seva thoree mangan bohtha
Seva is less but wants are many.

Baba ji said give yourself completely to god, and he will give himself completely to you.

God bless you
