Hinduism and Sikhism

"It (Hinduism) is like the boa constrictor of the Indian forests. When a petty enemy appears to worry it, it winds round its opponent, crushes it in its folds, and finally causes it to disappear in its capacious interior....Hinduism has embraced Sikhism in its folds; the still comparatively young religion is making a vigorous struggle for life, but its ultimate destruction is, it is apprehended, inevitable without State support." (Max Arthur Macauliffe, 1903)

GGS - page 855: LET US SEEK GOD'S GRACE AND SUPPORT

Bhagat Kabir jee says that I neither study nor get involved in wrangles ofthis world because I remain completely immersed by listening and praisingGod’s glory and virtues. (1)

O my friend! In the eyes of others I look like a mad person whereas thewhole world pretends to be very wise. The people consider as if I havefollowed a wrong path because I keep myself busy in reciting God’s True Naambut if it is so, others need not to suffer like me. (1 - Pause)

I have not become mad of my own because it is only due to God’s Bliss that Icompletely absorbed in the True Lord’s love. By virtue of God’s Grace, allmy dual-mindedness and doubts have disappeared. (2)

I have overcome my ego and abandoned my self-minded wisdom. If someone doesnot believe me, then they should neither follow my example nor they shouldworry about me. (3)

I wish to make it clear that the person is really mad, who has not attainedthe self-realisation. When devotee attains the Divine Enlightenment by God’sGrace then that Guru-oriented person understands the Truth that God pervadeseverywhere. (4)

Bhagat Kabir jee says that the person, who has not realized God’s love inthis life, will never rejoice equipoise elsewhere. But such true realizationcould only be attained if the person remains busy in reciting God’s TrueNaam with love and devotion. (5 / 2)
[By God’s Grace & Support, all moments, hours, days, months and years are excellent.]

Sharred by: Gurmit Singh (Sydney-Australia):

"Mittar Pyare nu" by Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji

this Shabad was sung by him on the night of the cold Winter when Guru Sahib jio had earlier in the day led the Khalsa forces in the battle of Chamkaur where Guru ji fought with the huge army of enemies of Khalsa Panth.His sons embraced martyrdom in front of his own eyes fighting for Khalsa ideals.Guru Sahib ji in this shabad yearns for remembrance of Waheguru inspite of hardships and tough times. There is a Gurudwara Macchhiwara Sahib in the forest where Guru Sahib ji slept on ground after reciting this Shabad. Satguru ji left the fortress of Chamkaur after Khalsa ji ordered him to do so.

Here is the kirtan sung by the great singer, the late Mohd. Rafi.

Awesome lyrics

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse?

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worst?

Lights will guide you home,
And ignite your bones,
And I will try to fix you,

High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And I

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down on your face
And I

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

loneliness

Read the blog of http://onepicaday.blogspot.com/. He wrote "

And if you are scared of being alone: never forget that ultimately you will be alone. When you die, you die alone, even if someone might be holding your hand. You will go by yourself. So there's no way around but to face ultimate loneliness, and you might as well get used to it while you're alive.
"
He wrote about loneliness. I totally agree with it.
