How can listening change you?

What does it actually mean to be foul-mouthed according to Guru Nanak Dev Ji? The moment we curse at God for getting things wrong is the definition of being foul-mouthed. Praising Vaheguru (God) is when we're in a state of acceptance and understanding that the things that happen around us are a play of divine will, in the same way Guru Gobind Singh Ji did, after seeing his sons and Singhs being martyred before his eyes, singing in a state of acceptance to Vaheguru, calling Vaheguru their beloved...

Do we really listen? - Suniai Sidh Pir Sur Naath

Just because we're hearing somebody talk, it doesn't necessarily mean we are actually listening to them. We can often be eager to give our pre-calculated response, instead of listening with compassion and patience. The true essence of listening is a test of our humility. Whilst listening with humility we'll not only be able to just listen to someones words, but go even deeper and tap into their feelings and emotions. Listening in this way will guide us towards listening to the divine that is in ...

How do you become more virtuous?

In today's age, it's easy to fall into the trap of chasing fame, likes and followers in the hope it brings us some form of satisfaction and happiness. It doesn't matter how known we become, if we haven't come into the glance of the One, all of it is a waste. Becoming self aware of our feelings when we come to know that we have been slandered will help us to know if we are resisting God, or if we are allowing ourself to be in the glance of God and the nature of love and compassion. Being in the c...

What can you do to realise the One's grace?

Sometimes we spend a lot of time and effort in doing certain practises that are more pleasing to us than to the One. Guru Nanak Dev Ji asks, 'what is it that we receive outside of grace?' The Guru gives us the understanding that everything comes from the One. Through the remembrance of the One (Simran), we can become aware of grace and through that, receive divine qualities.

How is Maya an illusion?

What we often perceive to be the truth is tainted with the lens of ignorance (Maya). The illusion of Maya keeps us from experiencing or knowing that there is only the One. When we start to serve, seeing everything to be a play of that One, the honour we receive is the very embrace of the One.

How do you experience the love of God?

We often hear that God is love but through which lens are we trying to understand God's love? Gurbani itself defines God's love for us which is that God's vision is equal upon all. To experience the love of God, Guru Nanak tells us to deeply contemplate the greatness of the One. This will open us to Vaheguru's grace allowing us to experience God's love.

Is there more than one way to experience God?

The very things sitting before our eyes can become the sign to realise God's existence. When you bring God's gifts into your awareness, it gives you the opportunity not only to think of God but also to experience the existence of God. In this third stanza of Japji Sahib, Bhai Baljit Singh discusses the different ways in which some experience a glimpse of God.

How is God doing everything? - Hukmee Hovan Akaar

When we realise that we are bound by the One's divine will and cannot escape that, we start to step away from the multiple layers of ego that we are stuck in. Having this realisation is our doorway to liberation. Whilst being identified with the ego and being separated from the truth, we continue to remain bound to our karmic load (past experiences). The only way to break this cycle is to receive Vaheguru Ji's (God's) grace. To receive this grace, we have to play to the game that the Creator has...

The Mool Mantar is the foundation of Sikhi (Sikhism). Mool, literally means root; the Mool Mantar describes the root of all existence and the qualities of that One that created everything.
