O my mind, you are the embodiment of the Divine Light - recognize your own origin.

Trilochan awoke early daily just to have sight of Namdev,

bhagath karan mil dhue janae naamadhaeo har chalath sunaavai||
Together they would concentrate on the Lord and Namdev would tell him the grand stories of God.

(Trilochan asked Namdev) “kindly pray for me so that if the Lord accepts, I may also have a glimpse of His blessed vision.

Namdev asked Thakur, the Lord, as to how Trilochan could have sight of the Lord ?

The Lord God smiled and explained to Naamdev;

“No offerings are needed by me. Out of my delight only, I would make Trilochan to have sight of me. “

I am under the total control of the devotees and their loving claims I can never reject; rather I myself also cannot understand them

Their loving devotion, in fact, becomes mediator and makes them meet me.”

Dass came across this beatiful sakhi on STTM a few years ago……….and even now i feel a smile gently tugging my lips……….the simplicy of Love being the only factor that unites the form with the formless is so obvious……….so beautiful……….and deceptivly so simple?…………..

Can one simply Love God………….he he can love God does he need to love another………..if he does love another then where is God? I feel the term Love is so commonly thrown around in todays world that its implications is becoming somewhat lost………….Love is not the selfish obession we have other people, objects and belongings……………love is not something we compromise or re-think accordings to our needs and priorities……………Love is unwavering, is is undescribable, love is sacrifice, love is detachment………………..the whole world can change with love…………..God is Love……..true love the silent force that gives life to everything………………the silent force that feeds us without us asking………..looks after us through each phase of our lives through the form of our family…………..God is the painter and the world we life in is his paintings……………..as he stands back and admires his works…………he feels emmense joy…………….we are all beings on the one supreme Lord but our problem…………………..we are so engrossing the the magic of the painting we have forgotton the painter…………………….

Admire the masterpeice, live the masterpiece as it was made for living but never waver for the one who created it………….created you………………..sustained you……………is sustaining you and will always sustain you……………………

    Nice Blog! Even nicer Thoughts !

    Yes, we are capable of simply loving. Gurbani tells us how :
    We have to remember two verses given below. U see when we prepare for exams, we learn a topic once and keep repeating the learning process till we have completely learnt the topic. This is how we have to do with these two verses.

    Sabe Ghat Ram Bole Rama Bole, Ram bina ko bole re!

    Ghat Ghat me har su basey santan kahiyon pukar!

    Once we will learn this by heart (initially by delebrate efforts), we will see HIM in everything and we will start simply loving…. one and all.

    Wish u all the very best in your spiritual pursuits…

    I would say if we remember following verses of gurbani, that would sum up LOVE

    BHALA BURA KAHO KISNU KAHIYA, SABBE JI TUMHARE. Means all being belongs to you then whom should v say good or bad. love everyone.

    the guru nanak says
    ques .fir ke aage rakhie jit sun dhare piyar?
    ans . amrit wela sach naoo wadeahi vichar.
    Formula of love with god:
    A=SUNIA
    B=MANIAA
    C=BHAOO
    A+B=C
    SUNIA(HEARING)+MANIAA(accepted)=BHAOO(LOVE)

    SUNIA MANIAA MAAN KITA BHAOO

    HEAR HIS NAME AS MUCH AS YOU CAN SLOWLY SLOWLY YOU START BLEAVING HIM AND IN THE LAST YOU FALL IN LOVE
    IK DO JIBU(tongue) LAKH HOVE LAKH HOVE LAKH VEES LAKH LAKH GIRA(TIMES) AAKHIA EK NAAM JAGDEESH ET(THIS )

    IF YOU LOVE THE WHOLE OCEAN YOU AUTOMATICALLY LOVE THE DROP OF WATER ALSO.
    SO LOVE GOD THEN YOU START LOVING ALL
