Japji Sahib with Bhai Baljit Singh

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/tyNp7RQAYt4 To walk on the path of devotion, we have to be willing to place our ego before the Guru. Whilst surrendering to the Guru, it doesn't matter what task you are told to carry out, but it's following the Guru with full faith that will start to break down that wall of ego. The Guru is taking us back to our true nature which is love and bliss. When we start...

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/mXlKS384I-w Acceptance is not to resist the light within us. When we're in internal mental pain, it's because we're resisting that part of Vaheguru (God) within us. Living in that state of sweet acceptance will give us the awareness of our mind which is made up of memories, thoughts and experiences. When our only reality is our identities, we are controlled by ou...

Why is it that two different people could be doing the exact same outward action and reach a completely different spiritual state? Guru Nanak Dev Ji tells us that this path is all about devotion and standing at the door of Vaheguru (God) whilst being imbued. It's being in a state of longing, surrender and love which takes us to a state of devotion. The path is devotion. That is the way that you're...

Vaheguru (God) is inside you. Go deep inside and listen to that intuition that lives within you. From this, the specific and relevant actions will come to you. If you use this inner voice which will always guide you in the right way, it will lead you to embracing and having divine virtues. It will guide you towards crossing this world ocean with ease. Within this listening, the divine qualities wi...

As difficult as it may be to speak the truth in today's world, it is even more difficult to live the truth. Truthful living in its full package is practised without pride (looking down upon others). Through listening deeply, we will know exactly what to say and do to access truthful living. The journey of deep listening allows us to know our own self and know the patterns of how our mind works. On...

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 ma...

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 fe...

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 i...

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.

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.

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.

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. Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/vvY...

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...

Everyone talks about living truthfully and following the will of God but what does that mean? In this first pauri (stanza) of Japji Sahib, Bhai Baljit Singh explains what it means to accept the divine will of the One and become the truth.

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. It describes what you are at your core (your soul) and what you have the potential to experience. Through experiencing these qualities, you can achieve the state of complete bliss.  In this video, Bhai Balj...
