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

Many have been celebrating Vaisakhi recently and this got Dass thinking about how greatful dass is for Maharaj blessing such a worthless, useful, papi with amrit di dat……even as dass writes, dass cannot contemplate or describe the feeling……….

Love………again a term that in todays world is used  so much………but very  rarley is it felt or experienced………….The above shabad is by our Founder and Sacheh Pitta Dhan Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj……

 When A child is scared, instinctivly looks for his mother……..his eyes search anciously for her familiar, kind face…….and as soon as he sees her……..and she she him……..instantly his is comforted by the loving glace of the person who, he knows loves him more than anything……..the fear, pain, anguish is lost in that moment he has made contact with his physical maker…..

The soul is very similar…….it cries to go back to its Home……its True Home……those pangs of separatation we feel from time to time, the sadness that cannot be describe and come without reason……..those moments where it feels like waheguru is standing right next to us……..the feeling cannot be put into mere words……..

 We are lost in this shell, that we call life………Guru tells us how to find him…..we dwell on the words……..think we are doing exactly that……….put to give your mind to Waheguru…….is no mudane task………..where there is mind, there is maya……..where there is maya…………there is no waheguru…..we cannot have both…………..

 The mind was never ours to begin with………we need to return it back to it maker……..the human being cannot understand the mind……but one who embraces his own True Self has embraced God………the mind is diminished…………and the the True aim of human life is discovered………

    Thanks for writing again. Its nice to read ur blog and as always i think about it and add my opinion/experience (based on my limited understandings from/because of Gurbani) to yours. I try to sense and relate to what u r saying & write in line with it. THis time is no different. Here i go:

    I find that our logical mind creates hell lot of confusion. Actually, it thrives and dwells on that.
    To be frank, there is no need for all/any discussions, if we follow what our Guru is saying.

    One has to just start following…. or just commit to follow the Guru…. and believe me, He/she will be guided…. once the guidance starts coming we start getting answers to all our questions… and we will realise the futility of all these questions and discussions…. Lots of our fundas will go for a toss… we will be in a different state altogether…we will be surprised at what we will learn… it will be totally different (yet so simple)from what we think or are made to think by our external world.

    And all this will happen while living in this world- in Maya.(viche maya paya) And maya will be the slave of this true GurSikh.

    The key is to be a true gursikh. Not outwardly, but inwardly. The journey has to be inwards… We have to follow and search in the Shabad- Jo Prabh Ko Milbo Chahe Khoj Shabad Mein Leh.

    May God bless us with wisdom to be able to follow what our Guru is telling us and not just keep reading bani and follow nothing.

    Pl excuse, if i(ie my ego) has said anything wrong and ignore it as stupidity of an egoistic mind.

    My beloved brother i too engerly look forward to your responses because with waheguru’s kirpa you express what i intend to say so much better and clearer than i could…….. 🙂

    i too hope for the kirpa to LIVE by the Guru’s Shabd and not turn the most precious thing a living soul could ask for into a mere ritual…..

    I want to fall back into waheguru……i want to be with him so much….the pain of seperation could wipe out my very existance…..but even while having the tools in my hand to do this…..i do not know how to use them…..I pray waheguru does kirpa on all His beloved to unite them back with Him……
