But if one comes to it with hope of gain
What will one get and whither turn?
Its fruit is without taste
Its flowers have no fragrance
Its leaves are of no use.
0 Nanak, it is the lowly that have goodness and true worth.
He that bows before all,
Before him all will bow.
Weigh anything in a pair of scales and see
That of greater substance does the lower go.
The wicked man bends over double
As a deer-slayer shooting his dart.
What use is bending or bowing of head
When you bow not your heart?

The Gursikh said "Let us try an experiment. Here is a strainer, and here is some water. Now pour a bucket of water through the strainer."
The child did this and said "See, the water was not contained, it just passed through, my mind is just like this". The Gursikh said. "Do it once more", so he did, and still the water passed through the strainer. The Gursikh said. "Do it ten times at least". The child did, and at the end of this experiment, he said " See, water still passes through, no matter how many times , and how many buckets we pass through it" . The Gursikh said "Look carefully at the strainer and see if there is any thing different." The child did, and his eyes were filled with tears, and he said. "Yes, i see the difference now. The grimy dirty strainer is now shiny and bright, like never before."
The Gursikh said "My son, this is what Gurbani does for you. It cleans your mind, and even if you do not realize it, it slowly cleanses your mind, and protects you from the five vices. The more you recite Gurbani, your mind will not only become shinier, but become like the bucket itself, which will not only become clean , but hold the meaning of Gurbani in your heart".
The child smiled, and felt he had received the best example of the power of Gurbani, ever.
Humbly, Abhijit

Subject: [Akaalstudents] Definition of Khalsa.....
To: akaalstudents@yahoogroups.com
In one of his poems, Guru Gobind Singh Sahib defines the Khalsa :
"He who repeats night and day the name of Him,
Who has full love and confidence in God,
Who bestows not a thought on anv but one God,
Whose enduring light is inextinguishable,
Who puts no faith in fasting and worshipping cemeteries and monasteries,
Who only recognises the one God and makes no fetish, Of pilgrimages,
alms, charities and austerities:
He is recognised as a true member of the Khalsa, In whose heart the light of the Perfect One shines."

To begin again means you're trying.
You can either start over and live your life
Or spend the rest of your life slowly dying.
It is never the falling that makes us fail.
It is never the pain or the crying.
You can never fail in life, my friend,
Unless you give up trying.

The Three Golden Rules for sikhs...
In order of importance:
faith sees the way.
Doubt sees the darkest night
Faith sees the day.
Doubt dreads to take a step
Faith soars on high.
Doubt questions 'who believes?'
Faith answers, 'I.'

An hour to appreciate them,

But an entire life to forget them.

When you were born, you didn't come with an owner's manual; these guidelines make life work better.
- You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's the only thing you are sure to keep for the rest of your life.
- You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called "Life on Planet Earth". Every person or incident is the Universal Teacher.
- There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of experimentation. "Failures" are as much a part of the process as "success."
- A lesson is repeated until learned. It is presented to you in various forms until you learn it -- then you can go on to the next lesson.
- If you don't learn easy lessons, they get harder. External problems are a precise reflection of your internal state. When you clear inner obstructions, your outside world changes. Pain is how the universe gets your attention.
- You will know you've learned a lesson when your actions change. Wisdom is practice. A little of something is better than a lot of nothing.
- "There" is no better than "here". When your "there" becomes a "here" you will simply obtain another "there" that again looks better than "here."
- Others are only mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another unless it reflects something you love or hate in yourself.
- Your life is up to you. Life provides the canvas; you do the painting. Take charge of your life --or someone else will.
- You always get what you want. Your subconscious rightfully determines what energies, experiences, and people you attract -- therefore, the only foolproof way to know what you want is to see what you have. There are no victims, only students.
- There is no right or wrong, but there are consequences. Moralizing doesn't help. Judgments only hold the patterns in place. Just do your best.
- Your answers lie inside you. Children need guidance from others; as we mature, we trust our hearts, where the Laws of Spirit are written. You know more than you have heard or read or been told. All you need to do is to look, listen, and trust.
- You will forget all this.
- You can remember all this any time you wish.

When you compromise your most deeply held values, there's nothing you can gain that will be worth what you have given up. Stay true to who you are, and the progress you make will have real meaning.
Keep your standards high, and you won't be burdened with regrets. Choose the path that you know to be right, for yourself, for those around you, for your world, and even when the difficulties come you'll find the strength to keep going.
Hold yourself to the highest standards in every situation, with no resentment or self-pity for choosing to do so. For you are creating real value that cannot be taken away.
Keep your standards high, and when you see an opportunity to do so, raise them even higher. What were once peaks will soon become valleys, and what was once unimaginable will become real.
With the highest of standards, move confidently and lovingly through each day. Set a powerfully positive tone for your world, and it will be a beautiful place to live.

Narrower than the tenth of a mustard seed.
A man's ego is the size of an elephant
How can he pass through the gate?
If he meet a teacher true
And the teacher on him grace bestow
The gates of salvation will be opened wide
At his pleasure he can come and go.
Nanak: the door of salvation is strait
Only the little can enter.
Thoughts of self have inflated the ego
How can he pass through the gate?
When he meets the teacher true
The self goeth, within him doth the light shine.
Mortal life gains eternal peace
And he mingles with the light divine.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh, The following is a good article translated from Jasbir Singh Khanne Wale's talk from Bombay Smaagam by Harjit Singh Lakhan;
GODS WILL
When we were small we played games like hide and seek and others, if someone took our turn we would get angry and fight for our turn. Now we have got the chance to play the game of life in this human body. We have had so many turns at playing animals, now if we waste this turn of human life we will not get another chance easily. We will have to take the care of this turn. But this game of life can't be played on our own. So we need help, we need such help that ensures we will win the game of life.
When people play in teams they have a coach, great players have great coaches. So to play the game of life we need the Satguru to ensure we win.
This game of birth and death, of coming and going in bodies can only end if we take the shelter of the one who can free us from it. The Satguru is the one who can free us from the game of life. Guru jee says that if one takes the company of the saint's feet then one finds God's love sweet. How can God's love taste sweet? Guru jee says that God's will is sweet.
How can we find God's will sweet?
Lets think about it. Whenever we use the word 'bhaana' (God's will), we relate it to accepting painful things as being God's will. Someone dies and we say it was 'bhaana', or God's will. If something bad happens we say be calm it was 'bhaana' God's will. No matter what suffering or sorrow is experienced, we use the word 'bhaana' to explain it as being God's will.
But we never think that when a son is born in someone's house that it was also 'bhaana' God's will. We never say it was God's will, bhaana, when our child gets married. Does this mean that dukh, or pain, happens because of God's will, but sukh, or pleasure, happens due to someone else's will?
Does one God give us dukh but some other God gives us sukh? This is our mistake. This is why we haven't been able to accept God's will as sweet. Guru jee has said that there is no other gift like 'bhaana". If we believe only dukh happens according to bhaana, then we have not understood the meaning of the word.
Whatever is pleasing to my Guru, is my Satguru's bhaana, whatever is pleasing to God is God's bhaana. A Sikh doesn't do what the Guru finds pleasing, and then getting dukh he says it was the Guru's will. How can that be correct? My Guru finds getting up at amrit vela pleasing, but this Sikh snores through every amrit vela. My Guru finds living a selfless life pleasing, but this Sikh is selfish. My Guru finds the ones with the Guru pleasing, but their Sikh remains Guru less. So when this Sikh gets suffering how can he say this is what pleases Guru jee- this is Guru's bhaana?
My God finds being merciful pleasing, but this Sikh hates everyone. God finds speaking Truth pleasing, but this Sikh speaks lies. When this Sikh gets dukh he says this is God's will, this is what pleases God- this is God's bhaana! Guru jee says this person does what pleases them, but the real Sikh is the one who follows what is pleasing to the Guru.
The one that does what pleases themselves, i.e. follow their own bhaana, they cry and blame God when they get dukh. Yet when they are happy they fill with pride and say look what I did. When things go well they take the credit, when things go bad they blame God saying, "it was God's will, what can I do?"
Whenever this person did the opposite of what pleases God, then that person suffered dukh. The ones who lived according to God's will were saved from dukh. The ones who lived outside of what pleases God had suffering.
Beloved of Guru jee, think about this. God made grapes- a great thing. God put juice in the grapes- a great thing. God did a great thing and made grapes for us. We should have thanked God for making juicy grapes for us. It was pleasing for God to make grapes, it was pleasing to God to put juice within the grapes. But when you make wine out of the grapes, you made it, not God. You made it. If God wanted to make wine God would have made alcoholic juice in the grapes. It pleased God to make sweet smelling juicy grapes, if
the grapes were turned into foul smelling alcohol then you did it not God. Now God make sweet things and you make sweet things sour, and then you blame God for the sourness of your life, the suffering- how can that be true? God's will can be sweet if you get rid of selfishness and accept God's will (Hukam). What is the meaning of Hukam? It has only one meaning, when the one who has the power to give orders, gives an order. That is a hukam. When the order is enacted it is called bhaana. When someone accepts the bhaana - accepts what happened that is called the Gurmukh, the Guru's Sikh.
Once a man fell into a well. It was dark, he grabbed a rope and started climbing up. A bird was flying overhead with Indian sweets in it's mouth, these fell into the man's open mouth. The man stopped climbing and started eating. He thought I can climb later first I will enjoy the Indian sweets. But he didn't realise that a black and white mouse was were gnawing at the rope that was tied to the tree. He got absorbed in eating, in the sweetness. The rope snapped and he fell back into the well.
Guru jee says death is the mouse gnawing away at time. The time that has gone will never come back, this morning will never come back. We are stuck in the well of the world and the rope of time is being cut at every moment. While you are alive take care of your life. Guru jee says that the life of those is successful who followed the Satguru.
Whose life is successful? The ones who repeated God's name in the Sadh Sangat.
Do ardas "God I am stuck in the well. Every time I try to get out the five enemies throw me back in. I can't get out, O Guru jee bless me with the shabad and get me out."

But I don't worry about that much, I'm happy anyhow.
I'm reaping better than I sowed.
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.
and sometimes the going's tough.
But I've got loving ones all around me,
and that makes me rich enough.
and the mercies He's bestowed.
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.
I remember times when things went wrong,
My faith wore somewhat thin.
But all at once the dark clouds broke,
and the sun peeped through again..
about the tough rows I have hoed.
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.
If God gives me strength and courage,
When the way grows steep and rough.
I'll not ask for other blessings,
I'm already blessed enough.
to help others bear their loads.
Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.
When I think of how many people
in this world have it worse than I do.
I realize just how blessed most of us really are.

Panaa 67 of SGGS Maharaaj
It is the Word alone that conquers self
And destroys illusion.
The pious receive the gift of the Name
By gentle ways and good conduct.
Without the Guru, one cannot tell
The good from the bad.
Without goodness, prayer has no meaning.
If God is in the heart
He can be met face to face.
He comes as gently as comes sleep.
O Nanak, raise your voice in praise of the Guru
By His grace you shall attain salvation

I ran into a stranger as he passed by,
"Oh excuse me please" was my reply.
He said, "Please excuse me too;
I wasn't watching for you."
We were very polite, this stranger and I.
We went on our way and we said goodbye.
But at home a different story is told,
How we treat our loved ones, young and old.
Later that day, cooking the evening meal,
My son stood beside me very still.
When I turned, I nearly knocked him down.
"Move out of the way," I said with a frown.
He walked away, his little heart broken.
I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.
While I lay awake in bed,
God's still small voice came to me and said,
"While dealing with a stranger,
common courtesy you use,
but the family you love, you seem to abuse.
Go and look on the kitchen floor,
You'll find some flowers there by the door.
Those are the flowers he brought for you.
He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue.
He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise,
you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes."
By this time, I felt very small,
And now my tears began to fall.
I quietly went and knelt by his bed;
"Wake up, little one, wake up," I said.
"Are these the flowers you picked for me?"
He smiled, "I found 'em, out by the tree.
I picked 'em because they're pretty like you.
I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue."
I said, "Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today;
I shouldn't have yelled at you that way."
He said, "Oh, Mom, that's okay.
I love you anyway."
I said, "Son, I love you too,
and I do like the flowers, especially the blue."
FAMILY
Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company
that we are working for could easily replace us in
a matter of days.
But the family we left behind will feel the loss
for the rest of their lives.
And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more
into work than into our own family,
an unwise investment indeed,
don't you think?
So what is behind the story?
Do you know what the word FAMILY means?
FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU

Only God I Saw
In the market, in the cloister – only God I saw.
In the valley and on the mountain – only God I saw.
Him I have seen beside me oft in tribulation;
In favor and in fortune – only God I saw.
In prayer and fasting, in praise and contemplation,
In the religion of the Prophet – only God I saw.
Neither soul nor body, accident nor substance,
Qualities nor causes – only God I saw.
I opened mine eyes and by the light of his face around me
In all the eye discovered – only God I saw.
Like a candle I was melting in his fire:
Amidst the flames out flashing – only God I saw.
Myself with mine own eyes I saw most clearly,
But when I looked with God's eyes – only God I saw.
I passed away into nothingness, I vanished,
And lo, I was the All-living – only God I saw.
From a Persian ode by the eleventh-century Sufi mystic Baba Kuhi of Shiraz. The translation is from Reynold A. Nicholson, The Mystics of Islam (London: Arkana, 1989),

Humbly,

Fateh Jee,
Had accompanied family to a vacation in Goa where I celebrated my 24th birthday (would be uploading the pictures of our 7 day trip at my travelogue ( http://iabhijit.blogspot.com ).
Prior to the trip, Keeping in mind the fact that we would be travelling on the 14th of April, I had tried searching for Gurudwaras in Goa on Sikh portals like www.sikhpal.com and others, but unfortunately couldn't find any.
After asking many individuals in Goa, was informed about one "Sikh Temple" at a place called Betim located in a taluka towards the northern side of Goa.
On visiting the Gurudwara Sahib, found it to be in a dilapidated condition. The takht was empty and Guru Maharaj was hosted in small room towards the left corner of the hall. The granthi jee there told us that there are around 80 sikh families settled in Goa (almost all of them in the Betim district).
The image above is a 'printscreen' of a small video I took from my digicam. The text is as under:
The management committee of the Gurudwara hereby kindly request our most respect sadh sangat to donate / contribute in cash or kind towards very urgently needed kar seva of Gurudwara Sahib and accomodation for visitors. Please forward your most ernest remittance to our bank account as follows:
ICICI bank
Mapusa branch,
Bardez, North Goa
Acct Number: 003001007864
Here's the telephone number of the Gurudwara Sahib: 91 - 832 - 2413913.
The Gurudwara Sahib is not funded by the SGPC and is totally managed and maintained by the maya bhenta of the sangat. The bhai sahib jee there requested me to forward their appeal to the Internet community.
Here's hoping that this Guru ka ghar flourishes and provides spiritual inspiration to all those who seek to drink the sweet nectar of Naam. Rest upto Akaal purakh Maharaaj.
Bhul Chuk maaf..
Servant,
Abhi

`Those who have realized the Truth
Are kings among men, indeed.
These earthly kings are no kings
To love anything except God causes pain
Why exalt and glorify what is created
It is but
eeting and evanescent
One alone lives for ever and ever
The God-centred being who realizes this Truth
He is like God, ever-living and deathless.'
Guru Amardas - Maru.
At this, the voice within grew faint and I was happy that I had silenced it
for good. But, again, the voice was audible with four-fold intensity \Realize
God; not in vain hast thy Guru said,
\Naught save God's worship will avail thee"
Guru Arjan - Asa.
This life of thine is being wasted,
Thou hast fallen in love with the
eeting phenomena of the world."
Guru Arjan - Asa.
Naught but God's worship will avail thee; The rest is naught."
Guru Arjan - Gauri Sukhmani.
The world which fascinates and enthralls thee,
looks so to thee on account of
thine own angle of vision;
He who is happy nds
The whole world in radiant joy;
To the diseased mind all are ailing."
Guru Arjan - Sorath.
The voice further repeated:
An object grows pretty, if you think it so. (There is nothing either good
or bad but the thought that makes it so). You might think a certain river
enchanting, but how does the mother view it-whose only son, with the newly
wedded wife and the marriage party has been drowned in it? To her, that
river, with its uncertain currents and blind wells, is a treacherous serpent.
Rivers, when in spate, wash away hundreds of villages, destroying thousands
of lives. You describe the hills and mountains as fascinating, but ask those
whose dear ones were buried under debris in the Kangra earthquake. To
them, these very hills and mountains are deathtraps! We nd the stars radiant
and lustrous, but ask someone suering the pangs of separation the
glimmering stars seem to mock them. The world is neither charming nor
repelling, but as you view it-It is your individual angle of vision that makes
all the dierence."
The inner voice continued:

Hai nimanya de man, nithanyaan de taan, neotyaan di oot, Sache Pita waheguru. Aap de hazoor age hath jor ke benti hai ki Abhijit Singh da jeevan safal karna, apne charni lana. Akhar wada khata Bhul chuk maaf karna
Bole So ne haal, Saat Shri Akal.
