Random ThoughtsWith Guruji

Preface

This photobook is not a piece of literature It is not a biography neither is it a completefiction It is not about religion neither is it about spirituality It is just a loosely stitchedcollection of random thoughts It is an attempt to dive deep into those random thoughts It ismore like a diary of notes thoughts opinions feelings observations experiences etchellip

It is not a work of any professional expert writing so there may be many errors or mistakessuch as in spellings grammar graphics translations etc It is also possible that your thoughtprocess your views of the world may not align with what is written in this compilation but ifyou manage to identify just one positive message one positive thought one positive take-away that will be a humble tribute to the inspiration behind this book ndash our God our Guruji

Take it easy read it casually donrsquot get carried awayhellip

Guruji is a thought Guruji is an emotionhellip

Guruji is at the center of everything that we say do think or feelhellip

Guruji is the sole inspiration for why and how this book has come about Without hisblessings without his aagya (permission) even a word of this book could not have beenwritten Guruji no longer lives in the human form but he is omnipresent he is Omnipotenthe is Omniscient

Guruji the God of few words preached rarely but his one liners are more powerful thanhundreds of pages of literature It is very difficult to find the right words in the dictionary todescribe him and his blessings The least a random person like me can do to obey his orderis to put random thoughts observations and experiences into this loosely assembled book

No work starts without parentsrsquo blessings and no work gets completed without parentsblessings So a humble tribute and a profound salute to my parents who are far away yetvery close to my heart It was only when I started visualizing my parents in Guruji and Gurujiin my parents that I really connected with Guruji

This book is jointly edited and designed by my wife Bhumica Dua who held my hand andtook me along on this wonderful journey with Guruji Bhumica aunty is my strength shesupports me and inspires me as a friend philosopher and guidehellip

A direct connection with Guruji is elevating energizing enlightening and transformational

Jai GurujildquoLet no man in the world live in delusion Without a Guru none can cross over to the other

There is only one God who dwells into every one of Godrsquos creation and constitutes the eternal truth- Guru Nanak Dev Ji

Mool Mantar(the first composition in the holy text and the Great Living Guru Shri Guru Granth Sahib)

Ek Onkar Satnam Kartapurakh Nirboh Nirvair Akaal MuratAjuni Sabham Guru Parsad

II Jap IIAad Sach Jugaad Sach

Hai Bhi Sach Nanak Hose Bhi Sach

The creator and the creation are one and this is the ultimate changeless truth This oneidentity is the ultimate doer is fearless is revenge-less is omnipresent beyond time isformless beyond birth and death is self-illuminating This is true wisdom and bliss ndashremember this and meditate on this This non-duality one-ness was true even before thetime begun has always been true throughout the time is true today and will always be true

Ek Onkar - An Interesting AnalogyA tree has 5 parts ndash roots trunk branches leaves and finally the fruits or flowers Starting inthe reverse order the fruits and or flowers are the material things of this world ie thethings that we consume and enjoy such as food clothes home cars ornaments watchesetc Leaves are all living things in this world ie anything that breathes such as humanbeings animals birds etc Further letrsquos visualize branches to be group of living things suchas religions sects beliefs castes genders any which way one wants to group livings thingstogether Trunk is the Universe ndash the ecosystem that holds fruits flowers leaves branchestogether So the trunk collectively represents the land the ocean the sun the moon thestars the planets the sky the air Just like the universe encompasses all parts of creationtogether trunk holds all parts of the tree together Finally come the roots and with whateverknowledge that we get from holy scriptures the roots are nothing but the God - the veryfoundation on which all other parts of the tree grow flourish survive Without roots treecanrsquot survive so without God this universe this humanity canrsquot survive Just like roots arenot visible but are very much part of the tree the God is not visible but is very much part ofthis universe

ldquoThe power the ego the fire the stresshellip

Itrsquos a strange and complex world A person on this earth is just one amongst over sevenbillion living human beings and if we take the total number of humans ever lived on earth(including dead) a person is 1 amongst over 110 billions and that is just one specie iehumans Now if we add total number of all living beings from over 87 million species thatlive on earth a human being is just one amongst Quintillions (there are 18 zeros in aquintillion) By the way donrsquot forget that the earth is just a small tiny planet out of over 100billion planets floating around in the Milky Way

With this perspective in mindbull think about the power that one wants to enjoy - at work at home in the society amongst

friendsbull think about the ego that one nourishes everyday - about money about beauty about

knowledge about powerbull think about the fire that one keeps ignited inside - to be a winner at any cost to be always

first to be always on topbull think about the stress that an one carries all the time - in form of personal problems in

form of anger and jealousy against people or situations in form of anxiety about whatwould others think about him or her

IS IT WORTH

आओ गजी बठ मर सग मझको थोड़ा समझा जाओhellip

ऊपर दखता तो पिछयो क सग उड़न की चाह होती ह

तारो को तोड़न की और आसमा को छन की चाह होती ह

बादलो सग खलन की सरज क सग दोी की चाह होती ह

चाद पर सोन की और अतर म टहलन की चाह होती ह

नज़र नीच जब झकती ह तो चीिटयो की क़तार नज़र आती ह

एक चीनी चावल का दाना िलए घर पचन की चाह नज़र आती ह

जीतन की कोई होड़ नही बस महनत करन की चाह नज़र आती ह

कचल जान का जोखम लकर हरपल जीन की चाह नज़र आती ह

ऊचा उड़न की ािहश पाल या नीच दख कर सबर क

भाग दौड़ म लगा र या िफर इक जगह ठहर जाऊ

आओ गजी बठ मर सग मझको थोड़ा समझा जाओ

Only I know who in my followers is in which class Great people keep this as personal secrets We treat everyone same but we love people

according to their class (dedication thoughts)

We may like or dislike people we mayhave assumptions and presumptionsabout people but we should be clear thatwe canrsquot change them Every person hasa role to play ie the role assigned tothem by non other than Guruji Even aperson of last description ie a trouble-maker may have been sent by Guruji totest our patience

Everybody is going through a uniquespiritual journey unique life uniquestruggles unique experience and it isentirely between the individual and theGuruji ndash no one else has any role in it

We should help others if we can ignorethem if we want or stay away from themif we sense trouble ndash It is entirely ourchoice We should make that choice andmove on because neither can we changeothers nor can others change us

Mix Baghellip

In any community especially in thecommunities that have come together for aspiritual journey there are all types ofpeople such as ndash

bull People who have deep knowledge whoare focused who do not get distractedfrom their path no matter what happensThese people are passionate to alwayskeep learning always trying to improvethemselves

bull People who have knowledge but theyalso have ego A continuous battlebetween knowledge and ego makesthem lose focus distracts them disturbsthem These people are passionate tospread the knowledge but they also wantto get recognition and attention they dono like to be challenged

bull People who are fun loving people whoare on spiritual journey as a life-stylechange not looking for some sort ofdramatic life-changing transformationThey come they learn they enjoy andthey move-on They are in it fortemporary relaxation and detoxification

bull People who join such communitybecause they are stressed dejectedgoing through rough patch in their lifeThey are trying to get some solace byjoining the spiritual path Howeversometime their stress takes a toll onthem and makes their journey a bitdifficult

bull People who have been rejecteddistanced by others people who areknown to be trouble-makers Theypretend to be on spiritual path but theyare out there to use and abuse peoplersquossensitivities because they know people inspiritual groups are emotional and canbe manipulated

Flights were booked for family holidays inIndia and Australia All were non-refundabletickets which meant any change of plan couldresult in substantial monetary lossinconvenience and disappointment On 2ndJuly ie just 2 days before the first flight was totake off an email arrived in the inbox It wasfrom school but strangely enough the schoolhad closed two weeks back for summervacations - maybe it was automated emailThe message stated that emirates ID and visaof our daughter had expired We checked bothdocuments and both of them had indeedexpired on 7th June ie almost a month back Istill get goosebumps thinking what could havehappened had we left country with an expiredvisa - our daughter wonrsquot be allowed to comeback home on an expired visa This wasnothing but Gurujirsquos blessings that we got 48hourrsquos notice to sort things out

An Amazing Personal Experience

It was 0900 AM in the morning We ranaround arranged all documents and gavethem to our PRO at 1100 AM Emirates IDsystem was not working which got usextremely worried as the visa renewalcannot be processed without first processingEmirates ID At 313 PM same day we got themessage that application for Emirates ID isapproved and at 928 AM next day morningwe got another SMS that application for visarenewal is processed By 10 AM we had thepassport with new visa pasted in our handsie within less than 24 hours Who couldhave done it other than our beloved Guruji -getting Emirates ID and visa renewed withinless than 24 hours an activity that canotherwise take anything between four to fivedays

When I stood in front of Gurujirsquos Swaroop and thanked Guruji I could feel him smilingand jokingly advising me ldquoEss var te mein dekh leya agali var toh appe khyaal rakheenrdquobut deep inside I know he will always be there to take care

Everyone in this material world iscontinuously running in 3 races dependingon his or her life-stage

bull Survival race is about roti kapdamakaan trying to beat the hungerpoverty sicknesses

bull Prosperity and fame race is to becomemore rich more famous have morepower earn more to secure the futurespend more to show offhellip

bull Spirituality is an interesting race wherepeople are racing to be with the Godbefore everyone else - a race to showcaseoneself as the best devotee mostspiritual person

Racehellip

Which race are you involved

Take a pause think meditate - lookfor answers in Gurujirsquos vachans

Once you find the true meaning ofldquoPatiencerdquo and ldquoContentmentrdquo youwill automatically stop runningbecause you will realize that all thesethings - roti kapda makaan goodhealth prosperity fame spiritualityare automatically delivered at theappropriate time by Guruji to thepeople who are still calm patientcontended at peace with self notcompeting in any race

ऐसा नही की मझम कोई भी ऐब नही हhellip

Each one of us has three personalities - anaverage human being a saint a devil

bull The average human being within us lives anormal routine - roti kapda makaan jobbiwi bachche rishte naate sukh dukh - allof which are inherent parts of our humanlife

bull By going to Satsang we try to ignite thesaint personality within us - being positivebeing thankful being respectful beinghumble being helpful

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

आख नाक कान सब अ ह पीछ नही ऐदा रब न शकराना करना चािहदा वldquo

Your eyes ears nose are in the front not at the back ndash you should be thankful to the God even for such an obvious blessing

When we directly connect with Guruji when we trust Guruji completelyhellip

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

Gurujirsquos ABC Never Abuse Anybody Never Blame Anybody Never Curse Anybody

Always wish the best for anybody coming across you in daily life

Every person every family every community everysociety faces strange challenges every now and thenIt is a normal human psychology that when the timesget tough in relationships people get emotionalegos run high communication breaks down atendency to judge each otherrsquos actions or inactionscreeps in a tendency to assume each otherrsquosintentions creeps in

Each member of that family that community thatsociety has three options in this kind of situation ndash

bull Make the matter worse by indulging in gossipsblame-game

bull Pull-back stay-away and go into own shellleaving the community to struggle

bull Come forward and contribute in finding the win-win solution try to get the family thecommunity out of this negativity

Having said that letrsquos also understand that all that ismentioned above is a myth We the human donothing and can do nothinghellip

The reality is that everything that we the human door think is planned orchestrated choreographed bynone other than our lord our God our Guruji He isalso the only audience that matters

Guruji assigns us a character writes the scriptexplains us the role and then sits back to see usperform He is the one who decides if we are goodactors if we are playing our role with honestydedication and passion

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

Page 2: Random Thoughts With Gurujigurujisatsangmelbourne.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/...- Guru Nanak Dev Ji 8 Mool Mantar (the first composition in the holy text and the Great Living

Preface

This photobook is not a piece of literature It is not a biography neither is it a completefiction It is not about religion neither is it about spirituality It is just a loosely stitchedcollection of random thoughts It is an attempt to dive deep into those random thoughts It ismore like a diary of notes thoughts opinions feelings observations experiences etchellip

It is not a work of any professional expert writing so there may be many errors or mistakessuch as in spellings grammar graphics translations etc It is also possible that your thoughtprocess your views of the world may not align with what is written in this compilation but ifyou manage to identify just one positive message one positive thought one positive take-away that will be a humble tribute to the inspiration behind this book ndash our God our Guruji

Take it easy read it casually donrsquot get carried awayhellip

Guruji is a thought Guruji is an emotionhellip

Guruji is at the center of everything that we say do think or feelhellip

Guruji is the sole inspiration for why and how this book has come about Without hisblessings without his aagya (permission) even a word of this book could not have beenwritten Guruji no longer lives in the human form but he is omnipresent he is Omnipotenthe is Omniscient

Guruji the God of few words preached rarely but his one liners are more powerful thanhundreds of pages of literature It is very difficult to find the right words in the dictionary todescribe him and his blessings The least a random person like me can do to obey his orderis to put random thoughts observations and experiences into this loosely assembled book

No work starts without parentsrsquo blessings and no work gets completed without parentsblessings So a humble tribute and a profound salute to my parents who are far away yetvery close to my heart It was only when I started visualizing my parents in Guruji and Gurujiin my parents that I really connected with Guruji

This book is jointly edited and designed by my wife Bhumica Dua who held my hand andtook me along on this wonderful journey with Guruji Bhumica aunty is my strength shesupports me and inspires me as a friend philosopher and guidehellip

A direct connection with Guruji is elevating energizing enlightening and transformational

Jai GurujildquoLet no man in the world live in delusion Without a Guru none can cross over to the other

There is only one God who dwells into every one of Godrsquos creation and constitutes the eternal truth- Guru Nanak Dev Ji

Mool Mantar(the first composition in the holy text and the Great Living Guru Shri Guru Granth Sahib)

Ek Onkar Satnam Kartapurakh Nirboh Nirvair Akaal MuratAjuni Sabham Guru Parsad

II Jap IIAad Sach Jugaad Sach

Hai Bhi Sach Nanak Hose Bhi Sach

The creator and the creation are one and this is the ultimate changeless truth This oneidentity is the ultimate doer is fearless is revenge-less is omnipresent beyond time isformless beyond birth and death is self-illuminating This is true wisdom and bliss ndashremember this and meditate on this This non-duality one-ness was true even before thetime begun has always been true throughout the time is true today and will always be true

Ek Onkar - An Interesting AnalogyA tree has 5 parts ndash roots trunk branches leaves and finally the fruits or flowers Starting inthe reverse order the fruits and or flowers are the material things of this world ie thethings that we consume and enjoy such as food clothes home cars ornaments watchesetc Leaves are all living things in this world ie anything that breathes such as humanbeings animals birds etc Further letrsquos visualize branches to be group of living things suchas religions sects beliefs castes genders any which way one wants to group livings thingstogether Trunk is the Universe ndash the ecosystem that holds fruits flowers leaves branchestogether So the trunk collectively represents the land the ocean the sun the moon thestars the planets the sky the air Just like the universe encompasses all parts of creationtogether trunk holds all parts of the tree together Finally come the roots and with whateverknowledge that we get from holy scriptures the roots are nothing but the God - the veryfoundation on which all other parts of the tree grow flourish survive Without roots treecanrsquot survive so without God this universe this humanity canrsquot survive Just like roots arenot visible but are very much part of the tree the God is not visible but is very much part ofthis universe

ldquoThe power the ego the fire the stresshellip

Itrsquos a strange and complex world A person on this earth is just one amongst over sevenbillion living human beings and if we take the total number of humans ever lived on earth(including dead) a person is 1 amongst over 110 billions and that is just one specie iehumans Now if we add total number of all living beings from over 87 million species thatlive on earth a human being is just one amongst Quintillions (there are 18 zeros in aquintillion) By the way donrsquot forget that the earth is just a small tiny planet out of over 100billion planets floating around in the Milky Way

With this perspective in mindbull think about the power that one wants to enjoy - at work at home in the society amongst

friendsbull think about the ego that one nourishes everyday - about money about beauty about

knowledge about powerbull think about the fire that one keeps ignited inside - to be a winner at any cost to be always

first to be always on topbull think about the stress that an one carries all the time - in form of personal problems in

form of anger and jealousy against people or situations in form of anxiety about whatwould others think about him or her

We may like or dislike people we mayhave assumptions and presumptionsabout people but we should be clear thatwe canrsquot change them Every person hasa role to play ie the role assigned tothem by non other than Guruji Even aperson of last description ie a trouble-maker may have been sent by Guruji totest our patience

Everybody is going through a uniquespiritual journey unique life uniquestruggles unique experience and it isentirely between the individual and theGuruji ndash no one else has any role in it

We should help others if we can ignorethem if we want or stay away from themif we sense trouble ndash It is entirely ourchoice We should make that choice andmove on because neither can we changeothers nor can others change us

Mix Baghellip

In any community especially in thecommunities that have come together for aspiritual journey there are all types ofpeople such as ndash

bull People who have deep knowledge whoare focused who do not get distractedfrom their path no matter what happensThese people are passionate to alwayskeep learning always trying to improvethemselves

bull People who have knowledge but theyalso have ego A continuous battlebetween knowledge and ego makesthem lose focus distracts them disturbsthem These people are passionate tospread the knowledge but they also wantto get recognition and attention they dono like to be challenged

bull People who are fun loving people whoare on spiritual journey as a life-stylechange not looking for some sort ofdramatic life-changing transformationThey come they learn they enjoy andthey move-on They are in it fortemporary relaxation and detoxification

bull People who join such communitybecause they are stressed dejectedgoing through rough patch in their lifeThey are trying to get some solace byjoining the spiritual path Howeversometime their stress takes a toll onthem and makes their journey a bitdifficult

bull People who have been rejecteddistanced by others people who areknown to be trouble-makers Theypretend to be on spiritual path but theyare out there to use and abuse peoplersquossensitivities because they know people inspiritual groups are emotional and canbe manipulated

It was 0900 AM in the morning We ranaround arranged all documents and gavethem to our PRO at 1100 AM Emirates IDsystem was not working which got usextremely worried as the visa renewalcannot be processed without first processingEmirates ID At 313 PM same day we got themessage that application for Emirates ID isapproved and at 928 AM next day morningwe got another SMS that application for visarenewal is processed By 10 AM we had thepassport with new visa pasted in our handsie within less than 24 hours Who couldhave done it other than our beloved Guruji -getting Emirates ID and visa renewed withinless than 24 hours an activity that canotherwise take anything between four to fivedays

When I stood in front of Gurujirsquos Swaroop and thanked Guruji I could feel him smilingand jokingly advising me ldquoEss var te mein dekh leya agali var toh appe khyaal rakheenrdquobut deep inside I know he will always be there to take care

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

The reality is that everything that we the human door think is planned orchestrated choreographed bynone other than our lord our God our Guruji He isalso the only audience that matters

Guruji assigns us a character writes the scriptexplains us the role and then sits back to see usperform He is the one who decides if we are goodactors if we are playing our role with honestydedication and passion

He is the Guru who gives us all the right lessons inlife and when he thinks it is appropriate he gives usa delicate complex situation to test our knowledgeHe throws a complicated problem at us puts anunprecedented challenge in front of us just to seehow we apply the knowledge that he taught us It isthen up to us as to how we apply that knowledge

Pass the Testhellip

Every time we have a choice to make consider it as a test thrown at us by Guruji and askourselves how would Guruji feel about our choice ndash would he be proud would he be happywould he be satisfied If yes go aheadhellip

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

Guruji is the sole inspiration for why and how this book has come about Without hisblessings without his aagya (permission) even a word of this book could not have beenwritten Guruji no longer lives in the human form but he is omnipresent he is Omnipotenthe is Omniscient

Guruji the God of few words preached rarely but his one liners are more powerful thanhundreds of pages of literature It is very difficult to find the right words in the dictionary todescribe him and his blessings The least a random person like me can do to obey his orderis to put random thoughts observations and experiences into this loosely assembled book

No work starts without parentsrsquo blessings and no work gets completed without parentsblessings So a humble tribute and a profound salute to my parents who are far away yetvery close to my heart It was only when I started visualizing my parents in Guruji and Gurujiin my parents that I really connected with Guruji

This book is jointly edited and designed by my wife Bhumica Dua who held my hand andtook me along on this wonderful journey with Guruji Bhumica aunty is my strength shesupports me and inspires me as a friend philosopher and guidehellip

A direct connection with Guruji is elevating energizing enlightening and transformational

Jai GurujildquoLet no man in the world live in delusion Without a Guru none can cross over to the other

The creator and the creation are one and this is the ultimate changeless truth This oneidentity is the ultimate doer is fearless is revenge-less is omnipresent beyond time isformless beyond birth and death is self-illuminating This is true wisdom and bliss ndashremember this and meditate on this This non-duality one-ness was true even before thetime begun has always been true throughout the time is true today and will always be true

Ek Onkar - An Interesting AnalogyA tree has 5 parts ndash roots trunk branches leaves and finally the fruits or flowers Starting inthe reverse order the fruits and or flowers are the material things of this world ie thethings that we consume and enjoy such as food clothes home cars ornaments watchesetc Leaves are all living things in this world ie anything that breathes such as humanbeings animals birds etc Further letrsquos visualize branches to be group of living things suchas religions sects beliefs castes genders any which way one wants to group livings thingstogether Trunk is the Universe ndash the ecosystem that holds fruits flowers leaves branchestogether So the trunk collectively represents the land the ocean the sun the moon thestars the planets the sky the air Just like the universe encompasses all parts of creationtogether trunk holds all parts of the tree together Finally come the roots and with whateverknowledge that we get from holy scriptures the roots are nothing but the God - the veryfoundation on which all other parts of the tree grow flourish survive Without roots treecanrsquot survive so without God this universe this humanity canrsquot survive Just like roots arenot visible but are very much part of the tree the God is not visible but is very much part ofthis universe

ldquoThe power the ego the fire the stresshellip

Itrsquos a strange and complex world A person on this earth is just one amongst over sevenbillion living human beings and if we take the total number of humans ever lived on earth(including dead) a person is 1 amongst over 110 billions and that is just one specie iehumans Now if we add total number of all living beings from over 87 million species thatlive on earth a human being is just one amongst Quintillions (there are 18 zeros in aquintillion) By the way donrsquot forget that the earth is just a small tiny planet out of over 100billion planets floating around in the Milky Way

With this perspective in mindbull think about the power that one wants to enjoy - at work at home in the society amongst

friendsbull think about the ego that one nourishes everyday - about money about beauty about

knowledge about powerbull think about the fire that one keeps ignited inside - to be a winner at any cost to be always

first to be always on topbull think about the stress that an one carries all the time - in form of personal problems in

form of anger and jealousy against people or situations in form of anxiety about whatwould others think about him or her

Flights were booked for family holidays inIndia and Australia All were non-refundabletickets which meant any change of plan couldresult in substantial monetary lossinconvenience and disappointment On 2ndJuly ie just 2 days before the first flight was totake off an email arrived in the inbox It wasfrom school but strangely enough the schoolhad closed two weeks back for summervacations - maybe it was automated emailThe message stated that emirates ID and visaof our daughter had expired We checked bothdocuments and both of them had indeedexpired on 7th June ie almost a month back Istill get goosebumps thinking what could havehappened had we left country with an expiredvisa - our daughter wonrsquot be allowed to comeback home on an expired visa This wasnothing but Gurujirsquos blessings that we got 48hourrsquos notice to sort things out

An Amazing Personal Experience

It was 0900 AM in the morning We ranaround arranged all documents and gavethem to our PRO at 1100 AM Emirates IDsystem was not working which got usextremely worried as the visa renewalcannot be processed without first processingEmirates ID At 313 PM same day we got themessage that application for Emirates ID isapproved and at 928 AM next day morningwe got another SMS that application for visarenewal is processed By 10 AM we had thepassport with new visa pasted in our handsie within less than 24 hours Who couldhave done it other than our beloved Guruji -getting Emirates ID and visa renewed withinless than 24 hours an activity that canotherwise take anything between four to fivedays

When I stood in front of Gurujirsquos Swaroop and thanked Guruji I could feel him smilingand jokingly advising me ldquoEss var te mein dekh leya agali var toh appe khyaal rakheenrdquobut deep inside I know he will always be there to take care

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

Every time we have a choice to make consider it as a test thrown at us by Guruji and askourselves how would Guruji feel about our choice ndash would he be proud would he be happywould he be satisfied If yes go aheadhellip

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

जो त न िकया वो तझको िमला

जो म न िकया वो मझको िमला

ना तझम खोट ना मझम खोट

जो तझम बसा वो ही मझम बसा

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

य जीवन बहती निदया ह इसको तम मत कन दना

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

Page 4: Random Thoughts With Gurujigurujisatsangmelbourne.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/...- Guru Nanak Dev Ji 8 Mool Mantar (the first composition in the holy text and the Great Living

Guruji is the sole inspiration for why and how this book has come about Without hisblessings without his aagya (permission) even a word of this book could not have beenwritten Guruji no longer lives in the human form but he is omnipresent he is Omnipotenthe is Omniscient

Guruji the God of few words preached rarely but his one liners are more powerful thanhundreds of pages of literature It is very difficult to find the right words in the dictionary todescribe him and his blessings The least a random person like me can do to obey his orderis to put random thoughts observations and experiences into this loosely assembled book

No work starts without parentsrsquo blessings and no work gets completed without parentsblessings So a humble tribute and a profound salute to my parents who are far away yetvery close to my heart It was only when I started visualizing my parents in Guruji and Gurujiin my parents that I really connected with Guruji

This book is jointly edited and designed by my wife Bhumica Dua who held my hand andtook me along on this wonderful journey with Guruji Bhumica aunty is my strength shesupports me and inspires me as a friend philosopher and guidehellip

A direct connection with Guruji is elevating energizing enlightening and transformational

Jai GurujildquoLet no man in the world live in delusion Without a Guru none can cross over to the other

shorerdquo ~ Guru Nanak Dev Ji ~

There is only one God who dwells into every one of Godrsquos creation and constitutes the eternal truth- Guru Nanak Dev Ji

Mool Mantar(the first composition in the holy text and the Great Living Guru Shri Guru Granth Sahib)

Ek Onkar Satnam Kartapurakh Nirboh Nirvair Akaal MuratAjuni Sabham Guru Parsad

II Jap IIAad Sach Jugaad Sach

Hai Bhi Sach Nanak Hose Bhi Sach

The creator and the creation are one and this is the ultimate changeless truth This oneidentity is the ultimate doer is fearless is revenge-less is omnipresent beyond time isformless beyond birth and death is self-illuminating This is true wisdom and bliss ndashremember this and meditate on this This non-duality one-ness was true even before thetime begun has always been true throughout the time is true today and will always be true

Ek Onkar - An Interesting AnalogyA tree has 5 parts ndash roots trunk branches leaves and finally the fruits or flowers Starting inthe reverse order the fruits and or flowers are the material things of this world ie thethings that we consume and enjoy such as food clothes home cars ornaments watchesetc Leaves are all living things in this world ie anything that breathes such as humanbeings animals birds etc Further letrsquos visualize branches to be group of living things suchas religions sects beliefs castes genders any which way one wants to group livings thingstogether Trunk is the Universe ndash the ecosystem that holds fruits flowers leaves branchestogether So the trunk collectively represents the land the ocean the sun the moon thestars the planets the sky the air Just like the universe encompasses all parts of creationtogether trunk holds all parts of the tree together Finally come the roots and with whateverknowledge that we get from holy scriptures the roots are nothing but the God - the veryfoundation on which all other parts of the tree grow flourish survive Without roots treecanrsquot survive so without God this universe this humanity canrsquot survive Just like roots arenot visible but are very much part of the tree the God is not visible but is very much part ofthis universe

ldquoThe power the ego the fire the stresshellip

Itrsquos a strange and complex world A person on this earth is just one amongst over sevenbillion living human beings and if we take the total number of humans ever lived on earth(including dead) a person is 1 amongst over 110 billions and that is just one specie iehumans Now if we add total number of all living beings from over 87 million species thatlive on earth a human being is just one amongst Quintillions (there are 18 zeros in aquintillion) By the way donrsquot forget that the earth is just a small tiny planet out of over 100billion planets floating around in the Milky Way

With this perspective in mindbull think about the power that one wants to enjoy - at work at home in the society amongst

friendsbull think about the ego that one nourishes everyday - about money about beauty about

knowledge about powerbull think about the fire that one keeps ignited inside - to be a winner at any cost to be always

first to be always on topbull think about the stress that an one carries all the time - in form of personal problems in

form of anger and jealousy against people or situations in form of anxiety about whatwould others think about him or her

IS IT WORTH

Only I know who in my followers is in which class Great people keep this as personal secrets We treat everyone same but we love people

We may like or dislike people we mayhave assumptions and presumptionsabout people but we should be clear thatwe canrsquot change them Every person hasa role to play ie the role assigned tothem by non other than Guruji Even aperson of last description ie a trouble-maker may have been sent by Guruji totest our patience

Everybody is going through a uniquespiritual journey unique life uniquestruggles unique experience and it isentirely between the individual and theGuruji ndash no one else has any role in it

We should help others if we can ignorethem if we want or stay away from themif we sense trouble ndash It is entirely ourchoice We should make that choice andmove on because neither can we changeothers nor can others change us

Mix Baghellip

In any community especially in thecommunities that have come together for aspiritual journey there are all types ofpeople such as ndash

bull People who have deep knowledge whoare focused who do not get distractedfrom their path no matter what happensThese people are passionate to alwayskeep learning always trying to improvethemselves

bull People who have knowledge but theyalso have ego A continuous battlebetween knowledge and ego makesthem lose focus distracts them disturbsthem These people are passionate tospread the knowledge but they also wantto get recognition and attention they dono like to be challenged

bull People who are fun loving people whoare on spiritual journey as a life-stylechange not looking for some sort ofdramatic life-changing transformationThey come they learn they enjoy andthey move-on They are in it fortemporary relaxation and detoxification

bull People who join such communitybecause they are stressed dejectedgoing through rough patch in their lifeThey are trying to get some solace byjoining the spiritual path Howeversometime their stress takes a toll onthem and makes their journey a bitdifficult

bull People who have been rejecteddistanced by others people who areknown to be trouble-makers Theypretend to be on spiritual path but theyare out there to use and abuse peoplersquossensitivities because they know people inspiritual groups are emotional and canbe manipulated

Flights were booked for family holidays inIndia and Australia All were non-refundabletickets which meant any change of plan couldresult in substantial monetary lossinconvenience and disappointment On 2ndJuly ie just 2 days before the first flight was totake off an email arrived in the inbox It wasfrom school but strangely enough the schoolhad closed two weeks back for summervacations - maybe it was automated emailThe message stated that emirates ID and visaof our daughter had expired We checked bothdocuments and both of them had indeedexpired on 7th June ie almost a month back Istill get goosebumps thinking what could havehappened had we left country with an expiredvisa - our daughter wonrsquot be allowed to comeback home on an expired visa This wasnothing but Gurujirsquos blessings that we got 48hourrsquos notice to sort things out

An Amazing Personal Experience

It was 0900 AM in the morning We ranaround arranged all documents and gavethem to our PRO at 1100 AM Emirates IDsystem was not working which got usextremely worried as the visa renewalcannot be processed without first processingEmirates ID At 313 PM same day we got themessage that application for Emirates ID isapproved and at 928 AM next day morningwe got another SMS that application for visarenewal is processed By 10 AM we had thepassport with new visa pasted in our handsie within less than 24 hours Who couldhave done it other than our beloved Guruji -getting Emirates ID and visa renewed withinless than 24 hours an activity that canotherwise take anything between four to fivedays

When I stood in front of Gurujirsquos Swaroop and thanked Guruji I could feel him smilingand jokingly advising me ldquoEss var te mein dekh leya agali var toh appe khyaal rakheenrdquobut deep inside I know he will always be there to take care

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

Journey

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

Hai Bhi Sach Nanak Hose Bhi Sach

The creator and the creation are one and this is the ultimate changeless truth This oneidentity is the ultimate doer is fearless is revenge-less is omnipresent beyond time isformless beyond birth and death is self-illuminating This is true wisdom and bliss ndashremember this and meditate on this This non-duality one-ness was true even before thetime begun has always been true throughout the time is true today and will always be true

Ek Onkar - An Interesting AnalogyA tree has 5 parts ndash roots trunk branches leaves and finally the fruits or flowers Starting inthe reverse order the fruits and or flowers are the material things of this world ie thethings that we consume and enjoy such as food clothes home cars ornaments watchesetc Leaves are all living things in this world ie anything that breathes such as humanbeings animals birds etc Further letrsquos visualize branches to be group of living things suchas religions sects beliefs castes genders any which way one wants to group livings thingstogether Trunk is the Universe ndash the ecosystem that holds fruits flowers leaves branchestogether So the trunk collectively represents the land the ocean the sun the moon thestars the planets the sky the air Just like the universe encompasses all parts of creationtogether trunk holds all parts of the tree together Finally come the roots and with whateverknowledge that we get from holy scriptures the roots are nothing but the God - the veryfoundation on which all other parts of the tree grow flourish survive Without roots treecanrsquot survive so without God this universe this humanity canrsquot survive Just like roots arenot visible but are very much part of the tree the God is not visible but is very much part ofthis universe

ldquoThe power the ego the fire the stresshellip

Itrsquos a strange and complex world A person on this earth is just one amongst over sevenbillion living human beings and if we take the total number of humans ever lived on earth(including dead) a person is 1 amongst over 110 billions and that is just one specie iehumans Now if we add total number of all living beings from over 87 million species thatlive on earth a human being is just one amongst Quintillions (there are 18 zeros in aquintillion) By the way donrsquot forget that the earth is just a small tiny planet out of over 100billion planets floating around in the Milky Way

With this perspective in mindbull think about the power that one wants to enjoy - at work at home in the society amongst

friendsbull think about the ego that one nourishes everyday - about money about beauty about

knowledge about powerbull think about the fire that one keeps ignited inside - to be a winner at any cost to be always

first to be always on topbull think about the stress that an one carries all the time - in form of personal problems in

form of anger and jealousy against people or situations in form of anxiety about whatwould others think about him or her

We may like or dislike people we mayhave assumptions and presumptionsabout people but we should be clear thatwe canrsquot change them Every person hasa role to play ie the role assigned tothem by non other than Guruji Even aperson of last description ie a trouble-maker may have been sent by Guruji totest our patience

Everybody is going through a uniquespiritual journey unique life uniquestruggles unique experience and it isentirely between the individual and theGuruji ndash no one else has any role in it

We should help others if we can ignorethem if we want or stay away from themif we sense trouble ndash It is entirely ourchoice We should make that choice andmove on because neither can we changeothers nor can others change us

bull People who have deep knowledge whoare focused who do not get distractedfrom their path no matter what happensThese people are passionate to alwayskeep learning always trying to improvethemselves

bull People who have knowledge but theyalso have ego A continuous battlebetween knowledge and ego makesthem lose focus distracts them disturbsthem These people are passionate tospread the knowledge but they also wantto get recognition and attention they dono like to be challenged

bull People who are fun loving people whoare on spiritual journey as a life-stylechange not looking for some sort ofdramatic life-changing transformationThey come they learn they enjoy andthey move-on They are in it fortemporary relaxation and detoxification

bull People who join such communitybecause they are stressed dejectedgoing through rough patch in their lifeThey are trying to get some solace byjoining the spiritual path Howeversometime their stress takes a toll onthem and makes their journey a bitdifficult

bull People who have been rejecteddistanced by others people who areknown to be trouble-makers Theypretend to be on spiritual path but theyare out there to use and abuse peoplersquossensitivities because they know people inspiritual groups are emotional and canbe manipulated

Flights were booked for family holidays inIndia and Australia All were non-refundabletickets which meant any change of plan couldresult in substantial monetary lossinconvenience and disappointment On 2ndJuly ie just 2 days before the first flight was totake off an email arrived in the inbox It wasfrom school but strangely enough the schoolhad closed two weeks back for summervacations - maybe it was automated emailThe message stated that emirates ID and visaof our daughter had expired We checked bothdocuments and both of them had indeedexpired on 7th June ie almost a month back Istill get goosebumps thinking what could havehappened had we left country with an expiredvisa - our daughter wonrsquot be allowed to comeback home on an expired visa This wasnothing but Gurujirsquos blessings that we got 48hourrsquos notice to sort things out

An Amazing Personal Experience

It was 0900 AM in the morning We ranaround arranged all documents and gavethem to our PRO at 1100 AM Emirates IDsystem was not working which got usextremely worried as the visa renewalcannot be processed without first processingEmirates ID At 313 PM same day we got themessage that application for Emirates ID isapproved and at 928 AM next day morningwe got another SMS that application for visarenewal is processed By 10 AM we had thepassport with new visa pasted in our handsie within less than 24 hours Who couldhave done it other than our beloved Guruji -getting Emirates ID and visa renewed withinless than 24 hours an activity that canotherwise take anything between four to fivedays

When I stood in front of Gurujirsquos Swaroop and thanked Guruji I could feel him smilingand jokingly advising me ldquoEss var te mein dekh leya agali var toh appe khyaal rakheenrdquobut deep inside I know he will always be there to take care

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

Your eyes ears nose are in the front not at the back ndash you should be thankful to the God even for such an obvious blessing

When we directly connect with Guruji when we trust Guruji completelyhellip

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

Gurujirsquos ABC Never Abuse Anybody Never Blame Anybody Never Curse Anybody

Always wish the best for anybody coming across you in daily life

Every person every family every community everysociety faces strange challenges every now and thenIt is a normal human psychology that when the timesget tough in relationships people get emotionalegos run high communication breaks down atendency to judge each otherrsquos actions or inactionscreeps in a tendency to assume each otherrsquosintentions creeps in

bull Make the matter worse by indulging in gossipsblame-game

bull Pull-back stay-away and go into own shellleaving the community to struggle

bull Come forward and contribute in finding the win-win solution try to get the family thecommunity out of this negativity

Having said that letrsquos also understand that all that ismentioned above is a myth We the human donothing and can do nothinghellip

The reality is that everything that we the human door think is planned orchestrated choreographed bynone other than our lord our God our Guruji He isalso the only audience that matters

Guruji assigns us a character writes the scriptexplains us the role and then sits back to see usperform He is the one who decides if we are goodactors if we are playing our role with honestydedication and passion

He is the Guru who gives us all the right lessons inlife and when he thinks it is appropriate he gives usa delicate complex situation to test our knowledgeHe throws a complicated problem at us puts anunprecedented challenge in front of us just to seehow we apply the knowledge that he taught us It isthen up to us as to how we apply that knowledge

Pass the Testhellip

Every time we have a choice to make consider it as a test thrown at us by Guruji and askourselves how would Guruji feel about our choice ndash would he be proud would he be happywould he be satisfied If yes go aheadhellip

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

Finish all prasad feeling thankful amp humble

ldquoThe power the ego the fire the stresshellip

Itrsquos a strange and complex world A person on this earth is just one amongst over sevenbillion living human beings and if we take the total number of humans ever lived on earth(including dead) a person is 1 amongst over 110 billions and that is just one specie iehumans Now if we add total number of all living beings from over 87 million species thatlive on earth a human being is just one amongst Quintillions (there are 18 zeros in aquintillion) By the way donrsquot forget that the earth is just a small tiny planet out of over 100billion planets floating around in the Milky Way

With this perspective in mindbull think about the power that one wants to enjoy - at work at home in the society amongst

friendsbull think about the ego that one nourishes everyday - about money about beauty about

knowledge about powerbull think about the fire that one keeps ignited inside - to be a winner at any cost to be always

first to be always on topbull think about the stress that an one carries all the time - in form of personal problems in

form of anger and jealousy against people or situations in form of anxiety about whatwould others think about him or her

Flights were booked for family holidays inIndia and Australia All were non-refundabletickets which meant any change of plan couldresult in substantial monetary lossinconvenience and disappointment On 2ndJuly ie just 2 days before the first flight was totake off an email arrived in the inbox It wasfrom school but strangely enough the schoolhad closed two weeks back for summervacations - maybe it was automated emailThe message stated that emirates ID and visaof our daughter had expired We checked bothdocuments and both of them had indeedexpired on 7th June ie almost a month back Istill get goosebumps thinking what could havehappened had we left country with an expiredvisa - our daughter wonrsquot be allowed to comeback home on an expired visa This wasnothing but Gurujirsquos blessings that we got 48hourrsquos notice to sort things out

An Amazing Personal Experience

It was 0900 AM in the morning We ranaround arranged all documents and gavethem to our PRO at 1100 AM Emirates IDsystem was not working which got usextremely worried as the visa renewalcannot be processed without first processingEmirates ID At 313 PM same day we got themessage that application for Emirates ID isapproved and at 928 AM next day morningwe got another SMS that application for visarenewal is processed By 10 AM we had thepassport with new visa pasted in our handsie within less than 24 hours Who couldhave done it other than our beloved Guruji -getting Emirates ID and visa renewed withinless than 24 hours an activity that canotherwise take anything between four to fivedays

When I stood in front of Gurujirsquos Swaroop and thanked Guruji I could feel him smilingand jokingly advising me ldquoEss var te mein dekh leya agali var toh appe khyaal rakheenrdquobut deep inside I know he will always be there to take care

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

य जीवन बहती निदया ह इसको तम मत कन दना

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

ldquoThe power the ego the fire the stresshellip

Itrsquos a strange and complex world A person on this earth is just one amongst over sevenbillion living human beings and if we take the total number of humans ever lived on earth(including dead) a person is 1 amongst over 110 billions and that is just one specie iehumans Now if we add total number of all living beings from over 87 million species thatlive on earth a human being is just one amongst Quintillions (there are 18 zeros in aquintillion) By the way donrsquot forget that the earth is just a small tiny planet out of over 100billion planets floating around in the Milky Way

With this perspective in mindbull think about the power that one wants to enjoy - at work at home in the society amongst

friendsbull think about the ego that one nourishes everyday - about money about beauty about

knowledge about powerbull think about the fire that one keeps ignited inside - to be a winner at any cost to be always

first to be always on topbull think about the stress that an one carries all the time - in form of personal problems in

form of anger and jealousy against people or situations in form of anxiety about whatwould others think about him or her

We may like or dislike people we mayhave assumptions and presumptionsabout people but we should be clear thatwe canrsquot change them Every person hasa role to play ie the role assigned tothem by non other than Guruji Even aperson of last description ie a trouble-maker may have been sent by Guruji totest our patience

Everybody is going through a uniquespiritual journey unique life uniquestruggles unique experience and it isentirely between the individual and theGuruji ndash no one else has any role in it

We should help others if we can ignorethem if we want or stay away from themif we sense trouble ndash It is entirely ourchoice We should make that choice andmove on because neither can we changeothers nor can others change us

An Amazing Personal Experience

It was 0900 AM in the morning We ranaround arranged all documents and gavethem to our PRO at 1100 AM Emirates IDsystem was not working which got usextremely worried as the visa renewalcannot be processed without first processingEmirates ID At 313 PM same day we got themessage that application for Emirates ID isapproved and at 928 AM next day morningwe got another SMS that application for visarenewal is processed By 10 AM we had thepassport with new visa pasted in our handsie within less than 24 hours Who couldhave done it other than our beloved Guruji -getting Emirates ID and visa renewed withinless than 24 hours an activity that canotherwise take anything between four to fivedays

When I stood in front of Gurujirsquos Swaroop and thanked Guruji I could feel him smilingand jokingly advising me ldquoEss var te mein dekh leya agali var toh appe khyaal rakheenrdquobut deep inside I know he will always be there to take care

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

Your eyes ears nose are in the front not at the back ndash you should be thankful to the God even for such an obvious blessing

When we directly connect with Guruji when we trust Guruji completelyhellip

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

Gurujirsquos ABC Never Abuse Anybody Never Blame Anybody Never Curse Anybody

Always wish the best for anybody coming across you in daily life

Every person every family every community everysociety faces strange challenges every now and thenIt is a normal human psychology that when the timesget tough in relationships people get emotionalegos run high communication breaks down atendency to judge each otherrsquos actions or inactionscreeps in a tendency to assume each otherrsquosintentions creeps in

Each member of that family that community thatsociety has three options in this kind of situation ndash

bull Make the matter worse by indulging in gossipsblame-game

bull Pull-back stay-away and go into own shellleaving the community to struggle

bull Come forward and contribute in finding the win-win solution try to get the family thecommunity out of this negativity

Having said that letrsquos also understand that all that ismentioned above is a myth We the human donothing and can do nothinghellip

The reality is that everything that we the human door think is planned orchestrated choreographed bynone other than our lord our God our Guruji He isalso the only audience that matters

Guruji assigns us a character writes the scriptexplains us the role and then sits back to see usperform He is the one who decides if we are goodactors if we are playing our role with honestydedication and passion

He is the Guru who gives us all the right lessons inlife and when he thinks it is appropriate he gives usa delicate complex situation to test our knowledgeHe throws a complicated problem at us puts anunprecedented challenge in front of us just to seehow we apply the knowledge that he taught us It isthen up to us as to how we apply that knowledge

Pass the Testhellip

Every time we have a choice to make consider it as a test thrown at us by Guruji and askourselves how would Guruji feel about our choice ndash would he be proud would he be happywould he be satisfied If yes go aheadhellip

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

ldquoThe power the ego the fire the stresshellip

Itrsquos a strange and complex world A person on this earth is just one amongst over sevenbillion living human beings and if we take the total number of humans ever lived on earth(including dead) a person is 1 amongst over 110 billions and that is just one specie iehumans Now if we add total number of all living beings from over 87 million species thatlive on earth a human being is just one amongst Quintillions (there are 18 zeros in aquintillion) By the way donrsquot forget that the earth is just a small tiny planet out of over 100billion planets floating around in the Milky Way

With this perspective in mindbull think about the power that one wants to enjoy - at work at home in the society amongst

friendsbull think about the ego that one nourishes everyday - about money about beauty about

knowledge about powerbull think about the fire that one keeps ignited inside - to be a winner at any cost to be always

first to be always on topbull think about the stress that an one carries all the time - in form of personal problems in

form of anger and jealousy against people or situations in form of anxiety about whatwould others think about him or her

IS IT WORTH

We may like or dislike people we mayhave assumptions and presumptionsabout people but we should be clear thatwe canrsquot change them Every person hasa role to play ie the role assigned tothem by non other than Guruji Even aperson of last description ie a trouble-maker may have been sent by Guruji totest our patience

Everybody is going through a uniquespiritual journey unique life uniquestruggles unique experience and it isentirely between the individual and theGuruji ndash no one else has any role in it

We should help others if we can ignorethem if we want or stay away from themif we sense trouble ndash It is entirely ourchoice We should make that choice andmove on because neither can we changeothers nor can others change us

Mix Baghellip

In any community especially in thecommunities that have come together for aspiritual journey there are all types ofpeople such as ndash

bull People who have deep knowledge whoare focused who do not get distractedfrom their path no matter what happensThese people are passionate to alwayskeep learning always trying to improvethemselves

bull People who have knowledge but theyalso have ego A continuous battlebetween knowledge and ego makesthem lose focus distracts them disturbsthem These people are passionate tospread the knowledge but they also wantto get recognition and attention they dono like to be challenged

bull People who are fun loving people whoare on spiritual journey as a life-stylechange not looking for some sort ofdramatic life-changing transformationThey come they learn they enjoy andthey move-on They are in it fortemporary relaxation and detoxification

bull People who join such communitybecause they are stressed dejectedgoing through rough patch in their lifeThey are trying to get some solace byjoining the spiritual path Howeversometime their stress takes a toll onthem and makes their journey a bitdifficult

bull People who have been rejecteddistanced by others people who areknown to be trouble-makers Theypretend to be on spiritual path but theyare out there to use and abuse peoplersquossensitivities because they know people inspiritual groups are emotional and canbe manipulated

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

Your eyes ears nose are in the front not at the back ndash you should be thankful to the God even for such an obvious blessing

When we directly connect with Guruji when we trust Guruji completelyhellip

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

I have many ways to bless ndash one of them is to do Satsang (share knowledge) One who speaks he also benefits and the one who listens

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

ldquoThe power the ego the fire the stresshellip

Itrsquos a strange and complex world A person on this earth is just one amongst over sevenbillion living human beings and if we take the total number of humans ever lived on earth(including dead) a person is 1 amongst over 110 billions and that is just one specie iehumans Now if we add total number of all living beings from over 87 million species thatlive on earth a human being is just one amongst Quintillions (there are 18 zeros in aquintillion) By the way donrsquot forget that the earth is just a small tiny planet out of over 100billion planets floating around in the Milky Way

With this perspective in mindbull think about the power that one wants to enjoy - at work at home in the society amongst

friendsbull think about the ego that one nourishes everyday - about money about beauty about

knowledge about powerbull think about the fire that one keeps ignited inside - to be a winner at any cost to be always

first to be always on topbull think about the stress that an one carries all the time - in form of personal problems in

form of anger and jealousy against people or situations in form of anxiety about whatwould others think about him or her

We may like or dislike people we mayhave assumptions and presumptionsabout people but we should be clear thatwe canrsquot change them Every person hasa role to play ie the role assigned tothem by non other than Guruji Even aperson of last description ie a trouble-maker may have been sent by Guruji totest our patience

Everybody is going through a uniquespiritual journey unique life uniquestruggles unique experience and it isentirely between the individual and theGuruji ndash no one else has any role in it

We should help others if we can ignorethem if we want or stay away from themif we sense trouble ndash It is entirely ourchoice We should make that choice andmove on because neither can we changeothers nor can others change us

bull People who have knowledge but theyalso have ego A continuous battlebetween knowledge and ego makesthem lose focus distracts them disturbsthem These people are passionate tospread the knowledge but they also wantto get recognition and attention they dono like to be challenged

bull People who are fun loving people whoare on spiritual journey as a life-stylechange not looking for some sort ofdramatic life-changing transformationThey come they learn they enjoy andthey move-on They are in it fortemporary relaxation and detoxification

bull People who join such communitybecause they are stressed dejectedgoing through rough patch in their lifeThey are trying to get some solace byjoining the spiritual path Howeversometime their stress takes a toll onthem and makes their journey a bitdifficult

bull People who have been rejecteddistanced by others people who areknown to be trouble-makers Theypretend to be on spiritual path but theyare out there to use and abuse peoplersquossensitivities because they know people inspiritual groups are emotional and canbe manipulated

It was 0900 AM in the morning We ranaround arranged all documents and gavethem to our PRO at 1100 AM Emirates IDsystem was not working which got usextremely worried as the visa renewalcannot be processed without first processingEmirates ID At 313 PM same day we got themessage that application for Emirates ID isapproved and at 928 AM next day morningwe got another SMS that application for visarenewal is processed By 10 AM we had thepassport with new visa pasted in our handsie within less than 24 hours Who couldhave done it other than our beloved Guruji -getting Emirates ID and visa renewed withinless than 24 hours an activity that canotherwise take anything between four to fivedays

When I stood in front of Gurujirsquos Swaroop and thanked Guruji I could feel him smilingand jokingly advising me ldquoEss var te mein dekh leya agali var toh appe khyaal rakheenrdquobut deep inside I know he will always be there to take care

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

The reality is that everything that we the human door think is planned orchestrated choreographed bynone other than our lord our God our Guruji He isalso the only audience that matters

Guruji assigns us a character writes the scriptexplains us the role and then sits back to see usperform He is the one who decides if we are goodactors if we are playing our role with honestydedication and passion

He is the Guru who gives us all the right lessons inlife and when he thinks it is appropriate he gives usa delicate complex situation to test our knowledgeHe throws a complicated problem at us puts anunprecedented challenge in front of us just to seehow we apply the knowledge that he taught us It isthen up to us as to how we apply that knowledge

Pass the Testhellip

Every time we have a choice to make consider it as a test thrown at us by Guruji and askourselves how would Guruji feel about our choice ndash would he be proud would he be happywould he be satisfied If yes go aheadhellip

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

First one is about being human (physically genetically) and the second one is about being Humane (being benevolent kind) Every one born as a human is first one by default the challenge though is how to be the second onehellip

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

I have many ways to bless ndash one of them is to do Satsang (share knowledge) One who speaks he also benefits and the one who listens

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

ldquoThe power the ego the fire the stresshellip

Itrsquos a strange and complex world A person on this earth is just one amongst over sevenbillion living human beings and if we take the total number of humans ever lived on earth(including dead) a person is 1 amongst over 110 billions and that is just one specie iehumans Now if we add total number of all living beings from over 87 million species thatlive on earth a human being is just one amongst Quintillions (there are 18 zeros in aquintillion) By the way donrsquot forget that the earth is just a small tiny planet out of over 100billion planets floating around in the Milky Way

With this perspective in mindbull think about the power that one wants to enjoy - at work at home in the society amongst

friendsbull think about the ego that one nourishes everyday - about money about beauty about

knowledge about powerbull think about the fire that one keeps ignited inside - to be a winner at any cost to be always

first to be always on topbull think about the stress that an one carries all the time - in form of personal problems in

form of anger and jealousy against people or situations in form of anxiety about whatwould others think about him or her

Flights were booked for family holidays inIndia and Australia All were non-refundabletickets which meant any change of plan couldresult in substantial monetary lossinconvenience and disappointment On 2ndJuly ie just 2 days before the first flight was totake off an email arrived in the inbox It wasfrom school but strangely enough the schoolhad closed two weeks back for summervacations - maybe it was automated emailThe message stated that emirates ID and visaof our daughter had expired We checked bothdocuments and both of them had indeedexpired on 7th June ie almost a month back Istill get goosebumps thinking what could havehappened had we left country with an expiredvisa - our daughter wonrsquot be allowed to comeback home on an expired visa This wasnothing but Gurujirsquos blessings that we got 48hourrsquos notice to sort things out

An Amazing Personal Experience

It was 0900 AM in the morning We ranaround arranged all documents and gavethem to our PRO at 1100 AM Emirates IDsystem was not working which got usextremely worried as the visa renewalcannot be processed without first processingEmirates ID At 313 PM same day we got themessage that application for Emirates ID isapproved and at 928 AM next day morningwe got another SMS that application for visarenewal is processed By 10 AM we had thepassport with new visa pasted in our handsie within less than 24 hours Who couldhave done it other than our beloved Guruji -getting Emirates ID and visa renewed withinless than 24 hours an activity that canotherwise take anything between four to fivedays

When I stood in front of Gurujirsquos Swaroop and thanked Guruji I could feel him smilingand jokingly advising me ldquoEss var te mein dekh leya agali var toh appe khyaal rakheenrdquobut deep inside I know he will always be there to take care

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

The reality is that everything that we the human door think is planned orchestrated choreographed bynone other than our lord our God our Guruji He isalso the only audience that matters

Guruji assigns us a character writes the scriptexplains us the role and then sits back to see usperform He is the one who decides if we are goodactors if we are playing our role with honestydedication and passion

He is the Guru who gives us all the right lessons inlife and when he thinks it is appropriate he gives usa delicate complex situation to test our knowledgeHe throws a complicated problem at us puts anunprecedented challenge in front of us just to seehow we apply the knowledge that he taught us It isthen up to us as to how we apply that knowledge

Pass the Testhellip

Every time we have a choice to make consider it as a test thrown at us by Guruji and askourselves how would Guruji feel about our choice ndash would he be proud would he be happywould he be satisfied If yes go aheadhellip

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

Finish all prasad feeling thankful amp humble

ldquoThe power the ego the fire the stresshellip

Itrsquos a strange and complex world A person on this earth is just one amongst over sevenbillion living human beings and if we take the total number of humans ever lived on earth(including dead) a person is 1 amongst over 110 billions and that is just one specie iehumans Now if we add total number of all living beings from over 87 million species thatlive on earth a human being is just one amongst Quintillions (there are 18 zeros in aquintillion) By the way donrsquot forget that the earth is just a small tiny planet out of over 100billion planets floating around in the Milky Way

With this perspective in mindbull think about the power that one wants to enjoy - at work at home in the society amongst

friendsbull think about the ego that one nourishes everyday - about money about beauty about

knowledge about powerbull think about the fire that one keeps ignited inside - to be a winner at any cost to be always

first to be always on topbull think about the stress that an one carries all the time - in form of personal problems in

form of anger and jealousy against people or situations in form of anxiety about whatwould others think about him or her

Flights were booked for family holidays inIndia and Australia All were non-refundabletickets which meant any change of plan couldresult in substantial monetary lossinconvenience and disappointment On 2ndJuly ie just 2 days before the first flight was totake off an email arrived in the inbox It wasfrom school but strangely enough the schoolhad closed two weeks back for summervacations - maybe it was automated emailThe message stated that emirates ID and visaof our daughter had expired We checked bothdocuments and both of them had indeedexpired on 7th June ie almost a month back Istill get goosebumps thinking what could havehappened had we left country with an expiredvisa - our daughter wonrsquot be allowed to comeback home on an expired visa This wasnothing but Gurujirsquos blessings that we got 48hourrsquos notice to sort things out

An Amazing Personal Experience

It was 0900 AM in the morning We ranaround arranged all documents and gavethem to our PRO at 1100 AM Emirates IDsystem was not working which got usextremely worried as the visa renewalcannot be processed without first processingEmirates ID At 313 PM same day we got themessage that application for Emirates ID isapproved and at 928 AM next day morningwe got another SMS that application for visarenewal is processed By 10 AM we had thepassport with new visa pasted in our handsie within less than 24 hours Who couldhave done it other than our beloved Guruji -getting Emirates ID and visa renewed withinless than 24 hours an activity that canotherwise take anything between four to fivedays

When I stood in front of Gurujirsquos Swaroop and thanked Guruji I could feel him smilingand jokingly advising me ldquoEss var te mein dekh leya agali var toh appe khyaal rakheenrdquobut deep inside I know he will always be there to take care

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

य जीवन बहती निदया ह इसको तम मत कन दना

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

ldquoThe power the ego the fire the stresshellip

Itrsquos a strange and complex world A person on this earth is just one amongst over sevenbillion living human beings and if we take the total number of humans ever lived on earth(including dead) a person is 1 amongst over 110 billions and that is just one specie iehumans Now if we add total number of all living beings from over 87 million species thatlive on earth a human being is just one amongst Quintillions (there are 18 zeros in aquintillion) By the way donrsquot forget that the earth is just a small tiny planet out of over 100billion planets floating around in the Milky Way

With this perspective in mindbull think about the power that one wants to enjoy - at work at home in the society amongst

friendsbull think about the ego that one nourishes everyday - about money about beauty about

knowledge about powerbull think about the fire that one keeps ignited inside - to be a winner at any cost to be always

first to be always on topbull think about the stress that an one carries all the time - in form of personal problems in

form of anger and jealousy against people or situations in form of anxiety about whatwould others think about him or her

IS IT WORTH

We may like or dislike people we mayhave assumptions and presumptionsabout people but we should be clear thatwe canrsquot change them Every person hasa role to play ie the role assigned tothem by non other than Guruji Even aperson of last description ie a trouble-maker may have been sent by Guruji totest our patience

Everybody is going through a uniquespiritual journey unique life uniquestruggles unique experience and it isentirely between the individual and theGuruji ndash no one else has any role in it

We should help others if we can ignorethem if we want or stay away from themif we sense trouble ndash It is entirely ourchoice We should make that choice andmove on because neither can we changeothers nor can others change us

Mix Baghellip

In any community especially in thecommunities that have come together for aspiritual journey there are all types ofpeople such as ndash

bull People who have deep knowledge whoare focused who do not get distractedfrom their path no matter what happensThese people are passionate to alwayskeep learning always trying to improvethemselves

bull People who have knowledge but theyalso have ego A continuous battlebetween knowledge and ego makesthem lose focus distracts them disturbsthem These people are passionate tospread the knowledge but they also wantto get recognition and attention they dono like to be challenged

bull People who are fun loving people whoare on spiritual journey as a life-stylechange not looking for some sort ofdramatic life-changing transformationThey come they learn they enjoy andthey move-on They are in it fortemporary relaxation and detoxification

bull People who join such communitybecause they are stressed dejectedgoing through rough patch in their lifeThey are trying to get some solace byjoining the spiritual path Howeversometime their stress takes a toll onthem and makes their journey a bitdifficult

bull People who have been rejecteddistanced by others people who areknown to be trouble-makers Theypretend to be on spiritual path but theyare out there to use and abuse peoplersquossensitivities because they know people inspiritual groups are emotional and canbe manipulated

Flights were booked for family holidays inIndia and Australia All were non-refundabletickets which meant any change of plan couldresult in substantial monetary lossinconvenience and disappointment On 2ndJuly ie just 2 days before the first flight was totake off an email arrived in the inbox It wasfrom school but strangely enough the schoolhad closed two weeks back for summervacations - maybe it was automated emailThe message stated that emirates ID and visaof our daughter had expired We checked bothdocuments and both of them had indeedexpired on 7th June ie almost a month back Istill get goosebumps thinking what could havehappened had we left country with an expiredvisa - our daughter wonrsquot be allowed to comeback home on an expired visa This wasnothing but Gurujirsquos blessings that we got 48hourrsquos notice to sort things out

An Amazing Personal Experience

It was 0900 AM in the morning We ranaround arranged all documents and gavethem to our PRO at 1100 AM Emirates IDsystem was not working which got usextremely worried as the visa renewalcannot be processed without first processingEmirates ID At 313 PM same day we got themessage that application for Emirates ID isapproved and at 928 AM next day morningwe got another SMS that application for visarenewal is processed By 10 AM we had thepassport with new visa pasted in our handsie within less than 24 hours Who couldhave done it other than our beloved Guruji -getting Emirates ID and visa renewed withinless than 24 hours an activity that canotherwise take anything between four to fivedays

When I stood in front of Gurujirsquos Swaroop and thanked Guruji I could feel him smilingand jokingly advising me ldquoEss var te mein dekh leya agali var toh appe khyaal rakheenrdquobut deep inside I know he will always be there to take care

Each one of us has three personalities - anaverage human being a saint a devil

bull The average human being within us lives anormal routine - roti kapda makaan jobbiwi bachche rishte naate sukh dukh - allof which are inherent parts of our humanlife

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

आख नाक कान सब अ ह पीछ नही ऐदा रब न शकराना करना चािहदा वldquo

Your eyes ears nose are in the front not at the back ndash you should be thankful to the God even for such an obvious blessing

When we directly connect with Guruji when we trust Guruji completelyhellip

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

Gurujirsquos ABC Never Abuse Anybody Never Blame Anybody Never Curse Anybody

Always wish the best for anybody coming across you in daily life

Every person every family every community everysociety faces strange challenges every now and thenIt is a normal human psychology that when the timesget tough in relationships people get emotionalegos run high communication breaks down atendency to judge each otherrsquos actions or inactionscreeps in a tendency to assume each otherrsquosintentions creeps in

Each member of that family that community thatsociety has three options in this kind of situation ndash

bull Make the matter worse by indulging in gossipsblame-game

bull Pull-back stay-away and go into own shellleaving the community to struggle

bull Come forward and contribute in finding the win-win solution try to get the family thecommunity out of this negativity

Having said that letrsquos also understand that all that ismentioned above is a myth We the human donothing and can do nothinghellip

The reality is that everything that we the human door think is planned orchestrated choreographed bynone other than our lord our God our Guruji He isalso the only audience that matters

Guruji assigns us a character writes the scriptexplains us the role and then sits back to see usperform He is the one who decides if we are goodactors if we are playing our role with honestydedication and passion

He is the Guru who gives us all the right lessons inlife and when he thinks it is appropriate he gives usa delicate complex situation to test our knowledgeHe throws a complicated problem at us puts anunprecedented challenge in front of us just to seehow we apply the knowledge that he taught us It isthen up to us as to how we apply that knowledge

Pass the Testhellip

Every time we have a choice to make consider it as a test thrown at us by Guruji and askourselves how would Guruji feel about our choice ndash would he be proud would he be happywould he be satisfied If yes go aheadhellip

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

ldquoThe power the ego the fire the stresshellip

Itrsquos a strange and complex world A person on this earth is just one amongst over sevenbillion living human beings and if we take the total number of humans ever lived on earth(including dead) a person is 1 amongst over 110 billions and that is just one specie iehumans Now if we add total number of all living beings from over 87 million species thatlive on earth a human being is just one amongst Quintillions (there are 18 zeros in aquintillion) By the way donrsquot forget that the earth is just a small tiny planet out of over 100billion planets floating around in the Milky Way

With this perspective in mindbull think about the power that one wants to enjoy - at work at home in the society amongst

friendsbull think about the ego that one nourishes everyday - about money about beauty about

knowledge about powerbull think about the fire that one keeps ignited inside - to be a winner at any cost to be always

first to be always on topbull think about the stress that an one carries all the time - in form of personal problems in

form of anger and jealousy against people or situations in form of anxiety about whatwould others think about him or her

We may like or dislike people we mayhave assumptions and presumptionsabout people but we should be clear thatwe canrsquot change them Every person hasa role to play ie the role assigned tothem by non other than Guruji Even aperson of last description ie a trouble-maker may have been sent by Guruji totest our patience

Everybody is going through a uniquespiritual journey unique life uniquestruggles unique experience and it isentirely between the individual and theGuruji ndash no one else has any role in it

Flights were booked for family holidays inIndia and Australia All were non-refundabletickets which meant any change of plan couldresult in substantial monetary lossinconvenience and disappointment On 2ndJuly ie just 2 days before the first flight was totake off an email arrived in the inbox It wasfrom school but strangely enough the schoolhad closed two weeks back for summervacations - maybe it was automated emailThe message stated that emirates ID and visaof our daughter had expired We checked bothdocuments and both of them had indeedexpired on 7th June ie almost a month back Istill get goosebumps thinking what could havehappened had we left country with an expiredvisa - our daughter wonrsquot be allowed to comeback home on an expired visa This wasnothing but Gurujirsquos blessings that we got 48hourrsquos notice to sort things out

An Amazing Personal Experience

It was 0900 AM in the morning We ranaround arranged all documents and gavethem to our PRO at 1100 AM Emirates IDsystem was not working which got usextremely worried as the visa renewalcannot be processed without first processingEmirates ID At 313 PM same day we got themessage that application for Emirates ID isapproved and at 928 AM next day morningwe got another SMS that application for visarenewal is processed By 10 AM we had thepassport with new visa pasted in our handsie within less than 24 hours Who couldhave done it other than our beloved Guruji -getting Emirates ID and visa renewed withinless than 24 hours an activity that canotherwise take anything between four to fivedays

When I stood in front of Gurujirsquos Swaroop and thanked Guruji I could feel him smilingand jokingly advising me ldquoEss var te mein dekh leya agali var toh appe khyaal rakheenrdquobut deep inside I know he will always be there to take care

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

Your eyes ears nose are in the front not at the back ndash you should be thankful to the God even for such an obvious blessing

When we directly connect with Guruji when we trust Guruji completelyhellip

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

ldquoThe power the ego the fire the stresshellip

Itrsquos a strange and complex world A person on this earth is just one amongst over sevenbillion living human beings and if we take the total number of humans ever lived on earth(including dead) a person is 1 amongst over 110 billions and that is just one specie iehumans Now if we add total number of all living beings from over 87 million species thatlive on earth a human being is just one amongst Quintillions (there are 18 zeros in aquintillion) By the way donrsquot forget that the earth is just a small tiny planet out of over 100billion planets floating around in the Milky Way

With this perspective in mindbull think about the power that one wants to enjoy - at work at home in the society amongst

friendsbull think about the ego that one nourishes everyday - about money about beauty about

knowledge about powerbull think about the fire that one keeps ignited inside - to be a winner at any cost to be always

first to be always on topbull think about the stress that an one carries all the time - in form of personal problems in

form of anger and jealousy against people or situations in form of anxiety about whatwould others think about him or her

IS IT WORTH

We may like or dislike people we mayhave assumptions and presumptionsabout people but we should be clear thatwe canrsquot change them Every person hasa role to play ie the role assigned tothem by non other than Guruji Even aperson of last description ie a trouble-maker may have been sent by Guruji totest our patience

Everybody is going through a uniquespiritual journey unique life uniquestruggles unique experience and it isentirely between the individual and theGuruji ndash no one else has any role in it

We should help others if we can ignorethem if we want or stay away from themif we sense trouble ndash It is entirely ourchoice We should make that choice andmove on because neither can we changeothers nor can others change us

bull People who have knowledge but theyalso have ego A continuous battlebetween knowledge and ego makesthem lose focus distracts them disturbsthem These people are passionate tospread the knowledge but they also wantto get recognition and attention they dono like to be challenged

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

Your eyes ears nose are in the front not at the back ndash you should be thankful to the God even for such an obvious blessing

When we directly connect with Guruji when we trust Guruji completelyhellip

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

Journey

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

मर दन द बड़ तरीक न इक सगत करना ह जो बोा ह ओदा वी भला जो सा ह ओदा वी भलाldquo

I have many ways to bless ndash one of them is to do Satsang (share knowledge) One who speaks he also benefits and the one who listens

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

100 DevotionSmile Meditate

Finish all prasad feeling thankful amp humble

No Mobile Phones No Gossips

ldquoThe power the ego the fire the stresshellip

Itrsquos a strange and complex world A person on this earth is just one amongst over sevenbillion living human beings and if we take the total number of humans ever lived on earth(including dead) a person is 1 amongst over 110 billions and that is just one specie iehumans Now if we add total number of all living beings from over 87 million species thatlive on earth a human being is just one amongst Quintillions (there are 18 zeros in aquintillion) By the way donrsquot forget that the earth is just a small tiny planet out of over 100billion planets floating around in the Milky Way

With this perspective in mindbull think about the power that one wants to enjoy - at work at home in the society amongst

friendsbull think about the ego that one nourishes everyday - about money about beauty about

knowledge about powerbull think about the fire that one keeps ignited inside - to be a winner at any cost to be always

first to be always on topbull think about the stress that an one carries all the time - in form of personal problems in

form of anger and jealousy against people or situations in form of anxiety about whatwould others think about him or her

We may like or dislike people we mayhave assumptions and presumptionsabout people but we should be clear thatwe canrsquot change them Every person hasa role to play ie the role assigned tothem by non other than Guruji Even aperson of last description ie a trouble-maker may have been sent by Guruji totest our patience

Everybody is going through a uniquespiritual journey unique life uniquestruggles unique experience and it isentirely between the individual and theGuruji ndash no one else has any role in it

We should help others if we can ignorethem if we want or stay away from themif we sense trouble ndash It is entirely ourchoice We should make that choice andmove on because neither can we changeothers nor can others change us

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

Your eyes ears nose are in the front not at the back ndash you should be thankful to the God even for such an obvious blessing

When we directly connect with Guruji when we trust Guruji completelyhellip

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

Journey

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

मर दन द बड़ तरीक न इक सगत करना ह जो बोा ह ओदा वी भला जो सा ह ओदा वी भलाldquo

I have many ways to bless ndash one of them is to do Satsang (share knowledge) One who speaks he also benefits and the one who listens

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

100 DevotionSmile Meditate

Finish all prasad feeling thankful amp humble

No Mobile Phones No Gossips

ldquoThe power the ego the fire the stresshellip

Itrsquos a strange and complex world A person on this earth is just one amongst over sevenbillion living human beings and if we take the total number of humans ever lived on earth(including dead) a person is 1 amongst over 110 billions and that is just one specie iehumans Now if we add total number of all living beings from over 87 million species thatlive on earth a human being is just one amongst Quintillions (there are 18 zeros in aquintillion) By the way donrsquot forget that the earth is just a small tiny planet out of over 100billion planets floating around in the Milky Way

With this perspective in mindbull think about the power that one wants to enjoy - at work at home in the society amongst

friendsbull think about the ego that one nourishes everyday - about money about beauty about

knowledge about powerbull think about the fire that one keeps ignited inside - to be a winner at any cost to be always

first to be always on topbull think about the stress that an one carries all the time - in form of personal problems in

form of anger and jealousy against people or situations in form of anxiety about whatwould others think about him or her

IS IT WORTH

We may like or dislike people we mayhave assumptions and presumptionsabout people but we should be clear thatwe canrsquot change them Every person hasa role to play ie the role assigned tothem by non other than Guruji Even aperson of last description ie a trouble-maker may have been sent by Guruji totest our patience

Everybody is going through a uniquespiritual journey unique life uniquestruggles unique experience and it isentirely between the individual and theGuruji ndash no one else has any role in it

We should help others if we can ignorethem if we want or stay away from themif we sense trouble ndash It is entirely ourchoice We should make that choice andmove on because neither can we changeothers nor can others change us

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

Your eyes ears nose are in the front not at the back ndash you should be thankful to the God even for such an obvious blessing

When we directly connect with Guruji when we trust Guruji completelyhellip

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

Journey

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

मर दन द बड़ तरीक न इक सगत करना ह जो बोा ह ओदा वी भला जो सा ह ओदा वी भलाldquo

I have many ways to bless ndash one of them is to do Satsang (share knowledge) One who speaks he also benefits and the one who listens

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

100 DevotionSmile Meditate

Finish all prasad feeling thankful amp humble

No Mobile Phones No Gossips

ldquoThe power the ego the fire the stresshellip

Itrsquos a strange and complex world A person on this earth is just one amongst over sevenbillion living human beings and if we take the total number of humans ever lived on earth(including dead) a person is 1 amongst over 110 billions and that is just one specie iehumans Now if we add total number of all living beings from over 87 million species thatlive on earth a human being is just one amongst Quintillions (there are 18 zeros in aquintillion) By the way donrsquot forget that the earth is just a small tiny planet out of over 100billion planets floating around in the Milky Way

With this perspective in mindbull think about the power that one wants to enjoy - at work at home in the society amongst

friendsbull think about the ego that one nourishes everyday - about money about beauty about

knowledge about powerbull think about the fire that one keeps ignited inside - to be a winner at any cost to be always

first to be always on topbull think about the stress that an one carries all the time - in form of personal problems in

form of anger and jealousy against people or situations in form of anxiety about whatwould others think about him or her

We may like or dislike people we mayhave assumptions and presumptionsabout people but we should be clear thatwe canrsquot change them Every person hasa role to play ie the role assigned tothem by non other than Guruji Even aperson of last description ie a trouble-maker may have been sent by Guruji totest our patience

Everybody is going through a uniquespiritual journey unique life uniquestruggles unique experience and it isentirely between the individual and theGuruji ndash no one else has any role in it

We should help others if we can ignorethem if we want or stay away from themif we sense trouble ndash It is entirely ourchoice We should make that choice andmove on because neither can we changeothers nor can others change us

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

Your eyes ears nose are in the front not at the back ndash you should be thankful to the God even for such an obvious blessing

When we directly connect with Guruji when we trust Guruji completelyhellip

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

Journey

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

मर दन द बड़ तरीक न इक सगत करना ह जो बोा ह ओदा वी भला जो सा ह ओदा वी भलाldquo

I have many ways to bless ndash one of them is to do Satsang (share knowledge) One who speaks he also benefits and the one who listens

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

Page 18: Random Thoughts With Gurujigurujisatsangmelbourne.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/...- Guru Nanak Dev Ji 8 Mool Mantar (the first composition in the holy text and the Great Living

ldquoThe power the ego the fire the stresshellip

Itrsquos a strange and complex world A person on this earth is just one amongst over sevenbillion living human beings and if we take the total number of humans ever lived on earth(including dead) a person is 1 amongst over 110 billions and that is just one specie iehumans Now if we add total number of all living beings from over 87 million species thatlive on earth a human being is just one amongst Quintillions (there are 18 zeros in aquintillion) By the way donrsquot forget that the earth is just a small tiny planet out of over 100billion planets floating around in the Milky Way

With this perspective in mindbull think about the power that one wants to enjoy - at work at home in the society amongst

friendsbull think about the ego that one nourishes everyday - about money about beauty about

knowledge about powerbull think about the fire that one keeps ignited inside - to be a winner at any cost to be always

first to be always on topbull think about the stress that an one carries all the time - in form of personal problems in

form of anger and jealousy against people or situations in form of anxiety about whatwould others think about him or her

We may like or dislike people we mayhave assumptions and presumptionsabout people but we should be clear thatwe canrsquot change them Every person hasa role to play ie the role assigned tothem by non other than Guruji Even aperson of last description ie a trouble-maker may have been sent by Guruji totest our patience

Everybody is going through a uniquespiritual journey unique life uniquestruggles unique experience and it isentirely between the individual and theGuruji ndash no one else has any role in it

We should help others if we can ignorethem if we want or stay away from themif we sense trouble ndash It is entirely ourchoice We should make that choice andmove on because neither can we changeothers nor can others change us

An Amazing Personal Experience

It was 0900 AM in the morning We ranaround arranged all documents and gavethem to our PRO at 1100 AM Emirates IDsystem was not working which got usextremely worried as the visa renewalcannot be processed without first processingEmirates ID At 313 PM same day we got themessage that application for Emirates ID isapproved and at 928 AM next day morningwe got another SMS that application for visarenewal is processed By 10 AM we had thepassport with new visa pasted in our handsie within less than 24 hours Who couldhave done it other than our beloved Guruji -getting Emirates ID and visa renewed withinless than 24 hours an activity that canotherwise take anything between four to fivedays

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

Your eyes ears nose are in the front not at the back ndash you should be thankful to the God even for such an obvious blessing

When we directly connect with Guruji when we trust Guruji completelyhellip

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

Journey

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

मर दन द बड़ तरीक न इक सगत करना ह जो बोा ह ओदा वी भला जो सा ह ओदा वी भलाldquo

I have many ways to bless ndash one of them is to do Satsang (share knowledge) One who speaks he also benefits and the one who listens

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

Your eyes ears nose are in the front not at the back ndash you should be thankful to the God even for such an obvious blessing

When we directly connect with Guruji when we trust Guruji completelyhellip

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

आओ गजी बठ मर सग मझको थोड़ा समझा जाओhellip

ऊपर दखता तो पिछयो क सग उड़न की चाह होती ह

तारो को तोड़न की और आसमा को छन की चाह होती ह

बादलो सग खलन की सरज क सग दोी की चाह होती ह

चाद पर सोन की और अतर म टहलन की चाह होती ह

नज़र नीच जब झकती ह तो चीिटयो की क़तार नज़र आती ह

एक चीनी चावल का दाना िलए घर पचन की चाह नज़र आती ह

जीतन की कोई होड़ नही बस महनत करन की चाह नज़र आती ह

कचल जान का जोखम लकर हरपल जीन की चाह नज़र आती ह

ऊचा उड़न की ािहश पाल या नीच दख कर सबर क

भाग दौड़ म लगा र या िफर इक जगह ठहर जाऊ

आओ गजी बठ मर सग मझको थोड़ा समझा जाओ

औरो की सन या अपनी क या अतमन मन म खो जाऊ

Everybody is going through a uniquespiritual journey unique life uniquestruggles unique experience and it isentirely between the individual and theGuruji ndash no one else has any role in it

We should help others if we can ignorethem if we want or stay away from themif we sense trouble ndash It is entirely ourchoice We should make that choice andmove on because neither can we changeothers nor can others change us

When I stood in front of Gurujirsquos Swaroop and thanked Guruji I could feel him smilingand jokingly advising me ldquoEss var te mein dekh leya agali var toh appe khyaal rakheenrdquobut deep inside I know he will always be there to take care

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

Your eyes ears nose are in the front not at the back ndash you should be thankful to the God even for such an obvious blessing

When we directly connect with Guruji when we trust Guruji completelyhellip

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

Gurujirsquos ABC Never Abuse Anybody Never Blame Anybody Never Curse Anybody

Always wish the best for anybody coming across you in daily life

Every person every family every community everysociety faces strange challenges every now and thenIt is a normal human psychology that when the timesget tough in relationships people get emotionalegos run high communication breaks down atendency to judge each otherrsquos actions or inactionscreeps in a tendency to assume each otherrsquosintentions creeps in

Each member of that family that community thatsociety has three options in this kind of situation ndash

bull Make the matter worse by indulging in gossipsblame-game

bull Pull-back stay-away and go into own shellleaving the community to struggle

bull Come forward and contribute in finding the win-win solution try to get the family thecommunity out of this negativity

Having said that letrsquos also understand that all that ismentioned above is a myth We the human donothing and can do nothinghellip

The reality is that everything that we the human door think is planned orchestrated choreographed bynone other than our lord our God our Guruji He isalso the only audience that matters

Guruji assigns us a character writes the scriptexplains us the role and then sits back to see usperform He is the one who decides if we are goodactors if we are playing our role with honestydedication and passion

He is the Guru who gives us all the right lessons inlife and when he thinks it is appropriate he gives usa delicate complex situation to test our knowledgeHe throws a complicated problem at us puts anunprecedented challenge in front of us just to seehow we apply the knowledge that he taught us It isthen up to us as to how we apply that knowledge

Pass the Testhellip

Every time we have a choice to make consider it as a test thrown at us by Guruji and askourselves how would Guruji feel about our choice ndash would he be proud would he be happywould he be satisfied If yes go aheadhellip

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

We may like or dislike people we mayhave assumptions and presumptionsabout people but we should be clear thatwe canrsquot change them Every person hasa role to play ie the role assigned tothem by non other than Guruji Even aperson of last description ie a trouble-maker may have been sent by Guruji totest our patience

Everybody is going through a uniquespiritual journey unique life uniquestruggles unique experience and it isentirely between the individual and theGuruji ndash no one else has any role in it

We should help others if we can ignorethem if we want or stay away from themif we sense trouble ndash It is entirely ourchoice We should make that choice andmove on because neither can we changeothers nor can others change us

Flights were booked for family holidays inIndia and Australia All were non-refundabletickets which meant any change of plan couldresult in substantial monetary lossinconvenience and disappointment On 2ndJuly ie just 2 days before the first flight was totake off an email arrived in the inbox It wasfrom school but strangely enough the schoolhad closed two weeks back for summervacations - maybe it was automated emailThe message stated that emirates ID and visaof our daughter had expired We checked bothdocuments and both of them had indeedexpired on 7th June ie almost a month back Istill get goosebumps thinking what could havehappened had we left country with an expiredvisa - our daughter wonrsquot be allowed to comeback home on an expired visa This wasnothing but Gurujirsquos blessings that we got 48hourrsquos notice to sort things out

An Amazing Personal Experience

It was 0900 AM in the morning We ranaround arranged all documents and gavethem to our PRO at 1100 AM Emirates IDsystem was not working which got usextremely worried as the visa renewalcannot be processed without first processingEmirates ID At 313 PM same day we got themessage that application for Emirates ID isapproved and at 928 AM next day morningwe got another SMS that application for visarenewal is processed By 10 AM we had thepassport with new visa pasted in our handsie within less than 24 hours Who couldhave done it other than our beloved Guruji -getting Emirates ID and visa renewed withinless than 24 hours an activity that canotherwise take anything between four to fivedays

When I stood in front of Gurujirsquos Swaroop and thanked Guruji I could feel him smilingand jokingly advising me ldquoEss var te mein dekh leya agali var toh appe khyaal rakheenrdquobut deep inside I know he will always be there to take care

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

Your eyes ears nose are in the front not at the back ndash you should be thankful to the God even for such an obvious blessing

When we directly connect with Guruji when we trust Guruji completelyhellip

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

य जीवन बहती निदया ह इसको तम मत कन दना

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

Everybody is going through a uniquespiritual journey unique life uniquestruggles unique experience and it isentirely between the individual and theGuruji ndash no one else has any role in it

We should help others if we can ignorethem if we want or stay away from themif we sense trouble ndash It is entirely ourchoice We should make that choice andmove on because neither can we changeothers nor can others change us

Flights were booked for family holidays inIndia and Australia All were non-refundabletickets which meant any change of plan couldresult in substantial monetary lossinconvenience and disappointment On 2ndJuly ie just 2 days before the first flight was totake off an email arrived in the inbox It wasfrom school but strangely enough the schoolhad closed two weeks back for summervacations - maybe it was automated emailThe message stated that emirates ID and visaof our daughter had expired We checked bothdocuments and both of them had indeedexpired on 7th June ie almost a month back Istill get goosebumps thinking what could havehappened had we left country with an expiredvisa - our daughter wonrsquot be allowed to comeback home on an expired visa This wasnothing but Gurujirsquos blessings that we got 48hourrsquos notice to sort things out

An Amazing Personal Experience

It was 0900 AM in the morning We ranaround arranged all documents and gavethem to our PRO at 1100 AM Emirates IDsystem was not working which got usextremely worried as the visa renewalcannot be processed without first processingEmirates ID At 313 PM same day we got themessage that application for Emirates ID isapproved and at 928 AM next day morningwe got another SMS that application for visarenewal is processed By 10 AM we had thepassport with new visa pasted in our handsie within less than 24 hours Who couldhave done it other than our beloved Guruji -getting Emirates ID and visa renewed withinless than 24 hours an activity that canotherwise take anything between four to fivedays

When I stood in front of Gurujirsquos Swaroop and thanked Guruji I could feel him smilingand jokingly advising me ldquoEss var te mein dekh leya agali var toh appe khyaal rakheenrdquobut deep inside I know he will always be there to take care

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

Your eyes ears nose are in the front not at the back ndash you should be thankful to the God even for such an obvious blessing

When we directly connect with Guruji when we trust Guruji completelyhellip

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

I have many ways to bless ndash one of them is to do Satsang (share knowledge) One who speaks he also benefits and the one who listens

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

Finish all prasad feeling thankful amp humble

No Mobile Phones No Gossips

Flights were booked for family holidays inIndia and Australia All were non-refundabletickets which meant any change of plan couldresult in substantial monetary lossinconvenience and disappointment On 2ndJuly ie just 2 days before the first flight was totake off an email arrived in the inbox It wasfrom school but strangely enough the schoolhad closed two weeks back for summervacations - maybe it was automated emailThe message stated that emirates ID and visaof our daughter had expired We checked bothdocuments and both of them had indeedexpired on 7th June ie almost a month back Istill get goosebumps thinking what could havehappened had we left country with an expiredvisa - our daughter wonrsquot be allowed to comeback home on an expired visa This wasnothing but Gurujirsquos blessings that we got 48hourrsquos notice to sort things out

An Amazing Personal Experience

It was 0900 AM in the morning We ranaround arranged all documents and gavethem to our PRO at 1100 AM Emirates IDsystem was not working which got usextremely worried as the visa renewalcannot be processed without first processingEmirates ID At 313 PM same day we got themessage that application for Emirates ID isapproved and at 928 AM next day morningwe got another SMS that application for visarenewal is processed By 10 AM we had thepassport with new visa pasted in our handsie within less than 24 hours Who couldhave done it other than our beloved Guruji -getting Emirates ID and visa renewed withinless than 24 hours an activity that canotherwise take anything between four to fivedays

When I stood in front of Gurujirsquos Swaroop and thanked Guruji I could feel him smilingand jokingly advising me ldquoEss var te mein dekh leya agali var toh appe khyaal rakheenrdquobut deep inside I know he will always be there to take care

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

Your eyes ears nose are in the front not at the back ndash you should be thankful to the God even for such an obvious blessing

When we directly connect with Guruji when we trust Guruji completelyhellip

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

He is the Guru who gives us all the right lessons inlife and when he thinks it is appropriate he gives usa delicate complex situation to test our knowledgeHe throws a complicated problem at us puts anunprecedented challenge in front of us just to seehow we apply the knowledge that he taught us It isthen up to us as to how we apply that knowledge

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

I have many ways to bless ndash one of them is to do Satsang (share knowledge) One who speaks he also benefits and the one who listens

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

100 DevotionSmile Meditate

Connect

Finish all prasad feeling thankful amp humble

No Mobile Phones No Gossips

Flights were booked for family holidays inIndia and Australia All were non-refundabletickets which meant any change of plan couldresult in substantial monetary lossinconvenience and disappointment On 2ndJuly ie just 2 days before the first flight was totake off an email arrived in the inbox It wasfrom school but strangely enough the schoolhad closed two weeks back for summervacations - maybe it was automated emailThe message stated that emirates ID and visaof our daughter had expired We checked bothdocuments and both of them had indeedexpired on 7th June ie almost a month back Istill get goosebumps thinking what could havehappened had we left country with an expiredvisa - our daughter wonrsquot be allowed to comeback home on an expired visa This wasnothing but Gurujirsquos blessings that we got 48hourrsquos notice to sort things out

An Amazing Personal Experience

It was 0900 AM in the morning We ranaround arranged all documents and gavethem to our PRO at 1100 AM Emirates IDsystem was not working which got usextremely worried as the visa renewalcannot be processed without first processingEmirates ID At 313 PM same day we got themessage that application for Emirates ID isapproved and at 928 AM next day morningwe got another SMS that application for visarenewal is processed By 10 AM we had thepassport with new visa pasted in our handsie within less than 24 hours Who couldhave done it other than our beloved Guruji -getting Emirates ID and visa renewed withinless than 24 hours an activity that canotherwise take anything between four to fivedays

When I stood in front of Gurujirsquos Swaroop and thanked Guruji I could feel him smilingand jokingly advising me ldquoEss var te mein dekh leya agali var toh appe khyaal rakheenrdquobut deep inside I know he will always be there to take care

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

Your eyes ears nose are in the front not at the back ndash you should be thankful to the God even for such an obvious blessing

When we directly connect with Guruji when we trust Guruji completelyhellip

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

Journey

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

100 DevotionSmile Meditate

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

Your eyes ears nose are in the front not at the back ndash you should be thankful to the God even for such an obvious blessing

When we directly connect with Guruji when we trust Guruji completelyhellip

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

Gurujirsquos ABC Never Abuse Anybody Never Blame Anybody Never Curse Anybody

Always wish the best for anybody coming across you in daily life

Every person every family every community everysociety faces strange challenges every now and thenIt is a normal human psychology that when the timesget tough in relationships people get emotionalegos run high communication breaks down atendency to judge each otherrsquos actions or inactionscreeps in a tendency to assume each otherrsquosintentions creeps in

Each member of that family that community thatsociety has three options in this kind of situation ndash

bull Make the matter worse by indulging in gossipsblame-game

bull Pull-back stay-away and go into own shellleaving the community to struggle

bull Come forward and contribute in finding the win-win solution try to get the family thecommunity out of this negativity

Having said that letrsquos also understand that all that ismentioned above is a myth We the human donothing and can do nothinghellip

The reality is that everything that we the human door think is planned orchestrated choreographed bynone other than our lord our God our Guruji He isalso the only audience that matters

Guruji assigns us a character writes the scriptexplains us the role and then sits back to see usperform He is the one who decides if we are goodactors if we are playing our role with honestydedication and passion

He is the Guru who gives us all the right lessons inlife and when he thinks it is appropriate he gives usa delicate complex situation to test our knowledgeHe throws a complicated problem at us puts anunprecedented challenge in front of us just to seehow we apply the knowledge that he taught us It isthen up to us as to how we apply that knowledge

Pass the Testhellip

Every time we have a choice to make consider it as a test thrown at us by Guruji and askourselves how would Guruji feel about our choice ndash would he be proud would he be happywould he be satisfied If yes go aheadhellip

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

Your eyes ears nose are in the front not at the back ndash you should be thankful to the God even for such an obvious blessing

When we directly connect with Guruji when we trust Guruji completelyhellip

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

Finish all prasad feeling thankful amp humble

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

Your eyes ears nose are in the front not at the back ndash you should be thankful to the God even for such an obvious blessing

When we directly connect with Guruji when we trust Guruji completelyhellip

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

bull All the people living in this world - It just denotes human beings or human race as a group of creatures Consider it as religion or caste Before being a Hindu Sikh Chritian or Muslim our first religion our first caste is Humanity

bull A kind and sympathetic attitude towards other people especially when they are suffering in some way ndash it denotes the basic behavior expected from a human being an inherent quality an instinct to help others

First one is about being human (physically genetically) and the second one is about being Humane (being benevolent kind) Every one born as a human is first one by default the challenge though is how to be the second onehellip

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

मर दन द बड़ तरीक न इक सगत करना ह जो बोा ह ओदा वी भला जो सा ह ओदा वी भलाldquo

I have many ways to bless ndash one of them is to do Satsang (share knowledge) One who speaks he also benefits and the one who listens

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

Your eyes ears nose are in the front not at the back ndash you should be thankful to the God even for such an obvious blessing

When we directly connect with Guruji when we trust Guruji completelyhellip

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

Your eyes ears nose are in the front not at the back ndash you should be thankful to the God even for such an obvious blessing

When we directly connect with Guruji when we trust Guruji completelyhellip

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

He is the Guru who gives us all the right lessons inlife and when he thinks it is appropriate he gives usa delicate complex situation to test our knowledgeHe throws a complicated problem at us puts anunprecedented challenge in front of us just to seehow we apply the knowledge that he taught us It isthen up to us as to how we apply that knowledge

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

I have many ways to bless ndash one of them is to do Satsang (share knowledge) One who speaks he also benefits and the one who listens

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

Finish all prasad feeling thankful amp humble

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

Your eyes ears nose are in the front not at the back ndash you should be thankful to the God even for such an obvious blessing

When we directly connect with Guruji when we trust Guruji completelyhellip

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

मर दन द बड़ तरीक न इक सगत करना ह जो बोा ह ओदा वी भला जो सा ह ओदा वी भलाldquo

I have many ways to bless ndash one of them is to do Satsang (share knowledge) One who speaks he also benefits and the one who listens

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

If you are bothered by what others think about you you surrender yourself to their control Try to remain in your self-control

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

When we directly connect with Guruji when we trust Guruji completelyhellip

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

Gurujirsquos ABC Never Abuse Anybody Never Blame Anybody Never Curse Anybody

Always wish the best for anybody coming across you in daily life

Every person every family every community everysociety faces strange challenges every now and thenIt is a normal human psychology that when the timesget tough in relationships people get emotionalegos run high communication breaks down atendency to judge each otherrsquos actions or inactionscreeps in a tendency to assume each otherrsquosintentions creeps in

Each member of that family that community thatsociety has three options in this kind of situation ndash

bull Make the matter worse by indulging in gossipsblame-game

bull Pull-back stay-away and go into own shellleaving the community to struggle

bull Come forward and contribute in finding the win-win solution try to get the family thecommunity out of this negativity

Having said that letrsquos also understand that all that ismentioned above is a myth We the human donothing and can do nothinghellip

The reality is that everything that we the human door think is planned orchestrated choreographed bynone other than our lord our God our Guruji He isalso the only audience that matters

Guruji assigns us a character writes the scriptexplains us the role and then sits back to see usperform He is the one who decides if we are goodactors if we are playing our role with honestydedication and passion

He is the Guru who gives us all the right lessons inlife and when he thinks it is appropriate he gives usa delicate complex situation to test our knowledgeHe throws a complicated problem at us puts anunprecedented challenge in front of us just to seehow we apply the knowledge that he taught us It isthen up to us as to how we apply that knowledge

Pass the Testhellip

Every time we have a choice to make consider it as a test thrown at us by Guruji and askourselves how would Guruji feel about our choice ndash would he be proud would he be happywould he be satisfied If yes go aheadhellip

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

Your eyes ears nose are in the front not at the back ndash you should be thankful to the God even for such an obvious blessing

When we directly connect with Guruji when we trust Guruji completelyhellip

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

I have many ways to bless ndash one of them is to do Satsang (share knowledge) One who speaks he also benefits and the one who listens

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

If you are bothered by what others think about you you surrender yourself to their control Try to remain in your self-control

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

Your eyes ears nose are in the front not at the back ndash you should be thankful to the God even for such an obvious blessing

When we directly connect with Guruji when we trust Guruji completelyhellip

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

Journey

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

If you are bothered by what others think about you you surrender yourself to their control Try to remain in your self-control

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

Your eyes ears nose are in the front not at the back ndash you should be thankful to the God even for such an obvious blessing

When we directly connect with Guruji when we trust Guruji completelyhellip

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

He is the Guru who gives us all the right lessons inlife and when he thinks it is appropriate he gives usa delicate complex situation to test our knowledgeHe throws a complicated problem at us puts anunprecedented challenge in front of us just to seehow we apply the knowledge that he taught us It isthen up to us as to how we apply that knowledge

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

I have many ways to bless ndash one of them is to do Satsang (share knowledge) One who speaks he also benefits and the one who listens

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

Finish all prasad feeling thankful amp humble

If you are bothered by what others think about you you surrender yourself to their control Try to remain in your self-control

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

Your eyes ears nose are in the front not at the back ndash you should be thankful to the God even for such an obvious blessing

When we directly connect with Guruji when we trust Guruji completelyhellip

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

We should try not to judge others Bydoing so we automatically think ourselfto be superior or inferior to them

Donrsquot confuse ego with just arrogance orsuperiority complex Ego can also come inform of inferiority complex Do not putyourself down Feeling small and inferioris also a form of ego

Both superiority complex and inferioritycomplex are a form of ego

Superiority Complex

By judging or enforcing our point of viewon others we automatically put ourselfas a the benchmark we automatically putourself in the center which is nothing buta form of Ego Ego is like a hand break ina car - unless you put it down yourspiritual journey doesnrsquot even start

There is only One God and One Judge inthe universe and that is Guruji Weshould not undermine Guruji and hisblessings by attempting to judge othersor enforcing our point of view on othersGuruji is omniscient omnipotentomnipresent ndash we should just leaveeverything to him Let him judgeeveryone ndash others as well as ourself

Inferiority Complex

Putting ourselves down developing asense of inferiority remorse regret pityis also a form of ego We should notconfuse inferiority complex withhumbleness ndash being humble is good thingbut considering self as inferior is negativeego

Your eyes ears nose are in the front not at the back ndash you should be thankful to the God even for such an obvious blessing

When we directly connect with Guruji when we trust Guruji completelyhellip

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

Gurujirsquos ABC Never Abuse Anybody Never Blame Anybody Never Curse Anybody

Always wish the best for anybody coming across you in daily life

Every person every family every community everysociety faces strange challenges every now and thenIt is a normal human psychology that when the timesget tough in relationships people get emotionalegos run high communication breaks down atendency to judge each otherrsquos actions or inactionscreeps in a tendency to assume each otherrsquosintentions creeps in

Each member of that family that community thatsociety has three options in this kind of situation ndash

bull Make the matter worse by indulging in gossipsblame-game

bull Pull-back stay-away and go into own shellleaving the community to struggle

bull Come forward and contribute in finding the win-win solution try to get the family thecommunity out of this negativity

Having said that letrsquos also understand that all that ismentioned above is a myth We the human donothing and can do nothinghellip

The reality is that everything that we the human door think is planned orchestrated choreographed bynone other than our lord our God our Guruji He isalso the only audience that matters

Guruji assigns us a character writes the scriptexplains us the role and then sits back to see usperform He is the one who decides if we are goodactors if we are playing our role with honestydedication and passion

He is the Guru who gives us all the right lessons inlife and when he thinks it is appropriate he gives usa delicate complex situation to test our knowledgeHe throws a complicated problem at us puts anunprecedented challenge in front of us just to seehow we apply the knowledge that he taught us It isthen up to us as to how we apply that knowledge

Pass the Testhellip

Every time we have a choice to make consider it as a test thrown at us by Guruji and askourselves how would Guruji feel about our choice ndash would he be proud would he be happywould he be satisfied If yes go aheadhellip

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

य जीवन बहती निदया ह इसको तम मत कन दना

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

Your eyes ears nose are in the front not at the back ndash you should be thankful to the God even for such an obvious blessing

When we directly connect with Guruji when we trust Guruji completelyhellip

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

य जीवन बहती निदया ह इसको तम मत कन दना

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

First one is about being human (physically genetically) and the second one is about being Humane (being benevolent kind) Every one born as a human is first one by default the challenge though is how to be the second onehellip

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

When we directly connect with Guruji when we trust Guruji completelyhellip

We stop getting excessivly stressed about pain or trouble we stop getting excessivelyexcited about happiness or success We stop getting excessively disappointed on failureswe stop getting excessively proud on successes We automatically stop worrying we stoptaking other things seriously we become indifferent to our emotions feelings troublespleasures successes failures wins losses friends foes etc

When we realize that whatever is happening in our life is absolutely a personal matter anddirect connection between us and Guruji we automatically become agnostic to otherpeoplersquos action and reactions

It is a bliss to have absolute doubtless unquestionable unshakeable trust in Guruji andthat trust is built only when we try to find him inside yourself not outside

Gurujirsquos ABC Never Abuse Anybody Never Blame Anybody Never Curse Anybody

Always wish the best for anybody coming across you in daily life

Every person every family every community everysociety faces strange challenges every now and thenIt is a normal human psychology that when the timesget tough in relationships people get emotionalegos run high communication breaks down atendency to judge each otherrsquos actions or inactionscreeps in a tendency to assume each otherrsquosintentions creeps in

Each member of that family that community thatsociety has three options in this kind of situation ndash

bull Make the matter worse by indulging in gossipsblame-game

bull Pull-back stay-away and go into own shellleaving the community to struggle

bull Come forward and contribute in finding the win-win solution try to get the family thecommunity out of this negativity

Having said that letrsquos also understand that all that ismentioned above is a myth We the human donothing and can do nothinghellip

The reality is that everything that we the human door think is planned orchestrated choreographed bynone other than our lord our God our Guruji He isalso the only audience that matters

Guruji assigns us a character writes the scriptexplains us the role and then sits back to see usperform He is the one who decides if we are goodactors if we are playing our role with honestydedication and passion

He is the Guru who gives us all the right lessons inlife and when he thinks it is appropriate he gives usa delicate complex situation to test our knowledgeHe throws a complicated problem at us puts anunprecedented challenge in front of us just to seehow we apply the knowledge that he taught us It isthen up to us as to how we apply that knowledge

Pass the Testhellip

Every time we have a choice to make consider it as a test thrown at us by Guruji and askourselves how would Guruji feel about our choice ndash would he be proud would he be happywould he be satisfied If yes go aheadhellip

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

Social ContagionOur eagerness results in instantaneous urgesor emotions which are contagious Theyhave tendency to spread very fast If we arehappy we spread happiness If we areangry we spread anger If we are respectfulwe spread respect If we are scared wespread fearhellip

KarmaOur actions or reaction resulting from oureagerness our instantaneous urges ouremotional outbursts have a tendency to do afull circle and come back to us - that is calledldquoKarmardquo If we make someone happy todayhappiness shall come back to us sometimeIf we hurt someone today we too shall gethurt sometime

Golden MantraUsing the golden mantra of ldquoSabrrdquo orldquoPatiencerdquo we should try to avoid oureagerness our instantaneous urges ouremotional outbursts Before taking anyaction we should take a brief pause andthink ndash what kind of behavior we want tospread (social contagion) what kind ofbehavior we want to get back (Karma) Oncewe are clear on what we want to spread andwhat we want to get back our behavior willautomatically change towards positiveattributes such as blessing loving protectingrespecting others When everyone startsthinking and behaving in this manner thewhole humanity will benefithellip

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

य जीवन बहती निदया ह इसको तम मत कन दना

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

bull A kind and sympathetic attitude towards other people especially when they are suffering in some way ndash it denotes the basic behavior expected from a human being an inherent quality an instinct to help others

First one is about being human (physically genetically) and the second one is about being Humane (being benevolent kind) Every one born as a human is first one by default the challenge though is how to be the second onehellip

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

Page 40: Random Thoughts With Gurujigurujisatsangmelbourne.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/...- Guru Nanak Dev Ji 8 Mool Mantar (the first composition in the holy text and the Great Living

Every person every family every community everysociety faces strange challenges every now and thenIt is a normal human psychology that when the timesget tough in relationships people get emotionalegos run high communication breaks down atendency to judge each otherrsquos actions or inactionscreeps in a tendency to assume each otherrsquosintentions creeps in

Each member of that family that community thatsociety has three options in this kind of situation ndash

bull Make the matter worse by indulging in gossipsblame-game

bull Pull-back stay-away and go into own shellleaving the community to struggle

bull Come forward and contribute in finding the win-win solution try to get the family thecommunity out of this negativity

Having said that letrsquos also understand that all that ismentioned above is a myth We the human donothing and can do nothinghellip

The reality is that everything that we the human door think is planned orchestrated choreographed bynone other than our lord our God our Guruji He isalso the only audience that matters

Guruji assigns us a character writes the scriptexplains us the role and then sits back to see usperform He is the one who decides if we are goodactors if we are playing our role with honestydedication and passion

He is the Guru who gives us all the right lessons inlife and when he thinks it is appropriate he gives usa delicate complex situation to test our knowledgeHe throws a complicated problem at us puts anunprecedented challenge in front of us just to seehow we apply the knowledge that he taught us It isthen up to us as to how we apply that knowledge

Pass the Testhellip

Every time we have a choice to make consider it as a test thrown at us by Guruji and askourselves how would Guruji feel about our choice ndash would he be proud would he be happywould he be satisfied If yes go aheadhellip

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

One should never criticize others ndash they get blessed with positive vibes and the person criticizing gets negative feelings as their share

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

I have many ways to bless ndash one of them is to do Satsang (share knowledge) One who speaks he also benefits and the one who listens

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

bull A kind and sympathetic attitude towards other people especially when they are suffering in some way ndash it denotes the basic behavior expected from a human being an inherent quality an instinct to help others

First one is about being human (physically genetically) and the second one is about being Humane (being benevolent kind) Every one born as a human is first one by default the challenge though is how to be the second onehellip

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

One should never criticize others ndash they get blessed with positive vibes and the person criticizing gets negative feelings as their share

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

One should never criticize others ndash they get blessed with positive vibes and the person criticizing gets negative feelings as their share

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

One should never criticize others ndash they get blessed with positive vibes and the person criticizing gets negative feelings as their share

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

य जीवन बहती निदया ह इसको तम मत कन दना

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

Page 48: Random Thoughts With Gurujigurujisatsangmelbourne.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/...- Guru Nanak Dev Ji 8 Mool Mantar (the first composition in the holy text and the Great Living

When you get angry or hate others for some superficial reasons - you should stop take apause and think - realize and acknowledge that you are feeling jealous

You may get jealous when someone achieves something that you have always wanted toachieve when someone you hate succeed when someone manages to get something andyou think that you deserve it more than him or her

Jealousy like most other emotions comes from within The problem lies within you and notwith the person you are jealous of There are four root causes for jealousy fear insecuritylack of self confidence and inferiority complex - strange but that is true When you arejealous of someone you are under a delusion that you are better than the other person butin reality it is the inferiority complex lack of confidence fear insecurity that makes youbeing jealous of others

The only thing jealousy is capable of doing is making you feel bad and fill your heart withhatred Upon feeling jealous donrsquot go pick fights donrsquot go spreading rumors (chugli) donrsquotblame external factors Instead go fix problems within you - your fear your insecurity yourlack of confidence and your inferiority complex

Once you acknowledge that the root cause of jealousy is ldquoyourdquo and not others you willnotice that these feelings of jealousy will disappear

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

bull A kind and sympathetic attitude towards other people especially when they are suffering in some way ndash it denotes the basic behavior expected from a human being an inherent quality an instinct to help others

First one is about being human (physically genetically) and the second one is about being Humane (being benevolent kind) Every one born as a human is first one by default the challenge though is how to be the second onehellip

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

य जीवन बहती निदया ह इसको तम मत कन दना

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

100 DevotionSmile Meditate

Finish all prasad feeling thankful amp humble

No Mobile Phones No Gossips

To forgive is easy but to forget is tough It is interesting to understand two types of forgivenessand their linkage to forgetting

Hollow-ForgivenessHollow-Forgiveness also called Decisional forgiveness is a behavioral change to let go thetransgressor without any revenge and punishment One may grant decisional forgiveness whilestill holding a grudge against the transgressor This type of forgiveness helps in reducing thetension temporarily but does not help in forgetting

Magnanimous-ForgivenessMagnanimous-Forgiveness also called Emotional forgiveness on the other hand is thepermanent replacement of negative bitter unforgiving emotions with positive magnanimoustruly heartfelt feelings to forgive the transgressor It is the emotional forgiveness that leads tohigher level of forgetting and a sense of everlasting relief from distress

Who Benefits from ForgivenessIt is generally seen that only a very small number of transgressors have a sense of remorse andit does not make a difference to them whether they are punished or forgiven It is always theother people (ie the people victimized or impacted by the act of transgressor) who carry thestress of taking revenge giving punishment forgiving the culprit or trying to forget the bitterexperience So any form of forgiveness provides larger benefits not the transgressor but to thepeople who are feeling stressed due to the act of transgressor

Emotional forgiveness is more relieving as it helps in permanently forgetting the bitterexperience than the decisional forgiveness that is temporary or hollow

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

य जीवन बहती निदया ह इसको तम मत कन दना

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

मर दन द बड़ तरीक न इक सगत करना ह जो बोा ह ओदा वी भला जो सा ह ओदा वी भलाldquo

I have many ways to bless ndash one of them is to do Satsang (share knowledge) One who speaks he also benefits and the one who listens

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

100 DevotionSmile Meditate

Finish all prasad feeling thankful amp humble

No Mobile Phones No Gossips

It is very difficult to determine what is right orwrong What we consider right may be perceivedas wrong by others and what others considerright may be perceived as wrong by us But truthis one and only one and there can never be anyconfusion about that

We can debate if Raavan was a good man or badbut we canrsquot debate that he kidnapped anotherpersonrsquos wife a fact that must be deplored

We can debate if Mahabharat was justified for allthe lives and relationships it destroyed or if itwas right or wrong for intellectuals like BhishmaDrona and Karan to side with Kauravs but we cannot dispute that Pandavas placed their own wifeon stake in the midst of gambling a fact thatmust be deplored we canrsquot dispute thatKauravas stripped Draupadi in front of everyonea fact that must be deplored

So donrsquot get trapped into right or wrong debatebut always stand with the truth no matter what

य जीवन बहती निदया ह इसको तम मत कन दना

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

58

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

I have many ways to bless ndash one of them is to do Satsang (share knowledge) One who speaks he also benefits and the one who listens

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

Finish all prasad feeling thankful amp humble

जब दःख आए मल आए आखो म नीर सा भर आए

बाह बादल सी फला लना मक को गगन छआ दना

ख़द पर थोड़ा इतरा लना ख़द को इतना समझा लना

गजी पर अगर भरोसा ह हो जाए जो भी होना हhellip

यहा लग़त ह सब अपन स पर असल म सब अपन अपन

अपनो की अजब भीड़ म त चन लना कछ असली अपन

िनराश ना होना धोको स गर साथ ना द कोई मोको प

गजी पर अगर भरोसा ह हो जाए जो भी होना हhellip

िनदा आरोप सब सह लना कट शो का िवश पी लना

ल पर सदा नज़र रखना हर बाधा को अवसर कर लना

गजी पर अगर भरोसा ह हो जाए जो भी होना हhellip

ldquoय व भी गज़र जाएगाrdquoldquoThis Time Too Shall Passrdquo

What an amazing statement

If said in hardship - it infuses strength patience positivity When said in good times - it makes us humble thankful more aware

गजी पर अगर भरोसा ह हो जाए जो भी होना हhellip

ज िभखारी न कज नही दना त कद वी दारो ना हाथ जोड़ िदता करो - की पता कौन िकद भस िवच आजाव

If you canrsquot give anything to a beggar donrsquot abuse him Just fold your hands and apologize respectfully ndash you never know who is in the disguise

58

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

Page 56: Random Thoughts With Gurujigurujisatsangmelbourne.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/...- Guru Nanak Dev Ji 8 Mool Mantar (the first composition in the holy text and the Great Living

Satsang is culmination of constant Simran and relentless Sewa Simran is about seeingGod seeing Guruji in everything and everybody Sewa is about continuouslycontributing back to the society extending a helping hand to the needy and thehelpless

So a kindly act of allocating 10 of your Satsang budget for giving food books clothesmedicines etc to the hungry poor children and old people who are struggling to survivecould give a completely different dimension to our beautiful journey of Simran Sewaand Satsang

Dasvandh or Dasaundh literally means a tenth part and refers to the practice inSikhism of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth (110 or 10) of theirearnings towards the common resources for the community

Can we do a different kind of Dasvant If we canrsquot spare 10 of our income forcommunity service letrsquos try to spend at least 10 of money that we allocate fororganizing Satsang on philanthropy or charity Going a step further how about spending10 of money that we allocate for any kind of celebrations ndash marriage birthdaysparties etc for philanthropy or charity

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

I have many ways to bless ndash one of them is to do Satsang (share knowledge) One who speaks he also benefits and the one who listens

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

bull All the people living in this world - It just denotes human beings or human race as a group of creatures Consider it as religion or caste Before being a Hindu Sikh Chritian or Muslim our first religion our first caste is Humanity

bull A kind and sympathetic attitude towards other people especially when they are suffering in some way ndash it denotes the basic behavior expected from a human being an inherent quality an instinct to help others

First one is about being human (physically genetically) and the second one is about being Humane (being benevolent kind) Every one born as a human is first one by default the challenge though is how to be the second onehellip

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

I have many ways to bless ndash one of them is to do Satsang (share knowledge) One who speaks he also benefits and the one who listens

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

I have many ways to bless ndash one of them is to do Satsang (share knowledge) One who speaks he also benefits and the one who listens

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

I have many ways to bless ndash one of them is to do Satsang (share knowledge) One who speaks he also benefits and the one who listens

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

100 DevotionSmile Meditate

Finish all prasad feeling thankful amp humble

No Mobile Phones No Gossips

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

I have many ways to bless ndash one of them is to do Satsang (share knowledge) One who speaks he also benefits and the one who listens

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

मर दन द बड़ तरीक न इक सगत करना ह जो बोा ह ओदा वी भला जो सा ह ओदा वी भलाldquo

I have many ways to bless ndash one of them is to do Satsang (share knowledge) One who speaks he also benefits and the one who listens

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

100 DevotionSmile Meditate

Finish all prasad feeling thankful amp humble

No Mobile Phones No Gossips

First one is about being human (physically genetically) and the second one is about being Humane (being benevolent kind) Every one born as a human is first one by default the challenge though is how to be the second onehellip

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

bull A kind and sympathetic attitude towards other people especially when they are suffering in some way ndash it denotes the basic behavior expected from a human being an inherent quality an instinct to help others

First one is about being human (physically genetically) and the second one is about being Humane (being benevolent kind) Every one born as a human is first one by default the challenge though is how to be the second onehellip

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

Journey

77

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

79

80

मर दन द बड़ तरीक न इक सगत करना ह जो बोा ह ओदा वी भला जो सा ह ओदा वी भलाldquo

I have many ways to bless ndash one of them is to do Satsang (share knowledge) One who speaks he also benefits and the one who listens

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

100 DevotionSmile Meditate

Connect

Finish all prasad feeling thankful amp humble

No Mobile Phones No Gossips

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

मर दन द बड़ तरीक न इक सगत करना ह जो बोा ह ओदा वी भला जो सा ह ओदा वी भलाldquo

I have many ways to bless ndash one of them is to do Satsang (share knowledge) One who speaks he also benefits and the one who listens

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

Journey

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

79

80

मर दन द बड़ तरीक न इक सगत करना ह जो बोा ह ओदा वी भला जो सा ह ओदा वी भलाldquo

I have many ways to bless ndash one of them is to do Satsang (share knowledge) One who speaks he also benefits and the one who listens

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

Finish all prasad feeling thankful amp humble

No Mobile Phones No Gossips

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

100 DevotionSmile Meditate

Connect

Finish all prasad feeling thankful amp humble

No Mobile Phones No Gossips

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

सबतो उा पाठ घरवाला घरवाली दी सवा कर घरवाली घरवाल दी सवा कर दोनो िमलकर अपन बया न सवारो अपन घर न कलश रिहत रखोldquo

The real worship is when husbands helps wife and wife helps husband and both make their children grow as good human being Keep your home free

of quarrels and negativity

Sometime in Jan 2017 my wife Bhumica aunty attended a Satsang at one of her friendrsquos homeShe felt very positive vibes and started attending Satsang regularly A few months later shewent to Delhi and visited Bade Mandir and was captivated with the aura of that beautifulspiritual place When she was waiting outside in the parking lot an old man came and startedtalking to her as if he knew her very well He talked to her for long time and told her things thatsurprised and mesmerized her He was carrying a very small bag and started taking out stufffrom the bag ndash swaroop calendars handicrafts and gave her so many gifts She wondered howcould there be so much stuff in that small bag He blessed her moved away She felt he was noordinary person and she had just gone through some sort of unbelievable strangetransformational experience

A few weeks later she asked me to come along for a satsang and I hesitantly agreed (for thesake of Samosa and Chai ndash my favorites) After initial rituals I sat down in a corner and closedmy eyes I straightaway went into deep meditation Except for brief duration when I openedmy eyes to have Jal and Chai Prasad I was in deep meditation - in a completely different worldI donrsquot remember anything other than two shabads that touched my heart and the flashbacksthat I got during those 2 hours - my childhood free education in govt school helping myfather at his shop taking tuitions to earn some extra money managing household choresfinishing my college and chartered accountancy while working part time my initial struggle inDubai my move to Abu Dhabi to Canada to Australia and then back to Abu Dhabi Those twohours took me back to a state where I could feel nothing but humble and thankful to the Godfor my journey With lots of questions and doubts still lingering inside I too started attendingSatsang for three reasons ndash to experience positive vibes generated from the soothing shabadsand meditation to enjoy going back to my flashback so I could remain grounded humble andthankful for everything and to enjoy the company of good people

With Gurujirsquos blessings first satsang was held at our home was on 29th June 2017 - my birthdayand after that there was no going back ndash we were fully immersed into Guruji and his teachingsldquoMool Mantrardquo became the foundation of our belief system and Mantra Jaap became inherentpart of our lifestyle There were experiences ndash both good and bad there were moments wefelt Guruji was sitting standing walking with us there were moments we felt Guruji will takecare of things there were moments we felt Guruji was testing us but none of this made useither too excited or too worried ndash we just kept saying Shukaarana Guruji and kept movingwith the life To be honest we did feel mesmerized and excited with Gurujirsquos kripa whenevergood things happened and we did fall into the trap of judging people and situations whenthings were not going great but all of these good and bad feelings were temporary emotionswhich did not last long and did not matter in the bigger scheme of things ie living a goodpeaceful contended life by connecting with one who is in everything everybody everywhereThe journey continues I am really thankful to my wife Bhumica aunty for pushing me into thisbeautiful experiencehellip

ज त ना फड़दा बाह असा ल जाना सीhellip

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

ओ सवा िजद पीछ माग ह ओ असल सवा नही असल सवा ता िनसाथ होी ह

Sewa (service) which is motivated by your demand to get something is not real sewa Real sewa is unselfish

78

SewahellipSewa is an inherent part of any spiritual journey and there are plenty of opportunities to do sewaduring Gurujirsquos Satsang Though there are not set rules for sewadaars following six common sensebehaviors can be helpful

1 100 dedication 100 selflessness When you are doing sewa you are committing that time toGuruji so dedicate 100 of your time to Guruji If you are doing sewa for any personal reasonsfor show-off or even for your happiness it is not really selfless sewa100 selflessness meanswhile doing sewa you donrsquot see yourself in the whole picture There is no place for self or ego

2 Abundance of mutual respect for others God is present in every human being which meanssewadaars should absolutely unconditionally respect each other and all devotees There is noscope for arguments Mutual respect and humbleness are essential for harmonious well-coordinated sewa There is no leader in Gurujirsquos Satsang and at the same time every sewadaar isa leader without title ndash contributing the best he or she can

3 No surprises No confusion Biggest cause of confusion during sewa is impromptu unannouncedunsolicited changes to the standard satsang procedures They should be avoided Any changes toSatsang process or introduction of new rituals should be initiated only after discussing agreeingand announcing to all sangat members

4 Mind your own business Sewadaars should focus on the sewa assigned to them in order to avoidunnecessary confusion They should try not to find faults in other sewadaars work They shouldnot try to intervene into other peoplersquos sewa or provide directions unless requested Similarlysangat members should focus on meditation and should not intervene in the sewa

5 Keep it Simple Gurujirsquos Satsang is not a kitty party It is not a birthday or wedding or some sort ofcelebration It is a simple yet intense process of connecting to Guruji diving deep into oneself Itis not worth wasting time on trying to make it any different Keep it simple - meditate detoxifyfocus on Sewa Simran Shabads Satsang and Shukarana It is not about extrospection it is aboutintrospection It is not about show-off it is about reflection It is not about talking it is aboutlistening about learning

6 Right people right time and right sewa - Sewa is a golden opportunity and people who get to dosewa are lucky Sewa is an opportunity to cleanse one ndash sewa karam kaatne ka ek zariya hai Sewais beyond personal bias and prejudices Ideally Sangat members should proactively ask for sewaIf you have requested sewa but did not get it donrsquot feel bad ndash may be you are destined to do abetter and bigger sewa or may be someone else deserves to do this sewa more than you Do nothold it against the hosts if they could not accommodate your request for sewa Similarly hostsshould not mind if they want to allocate sewa to someone but that person is unable or refuses todo sewa

Last but not the least Attending Satsang is also a sewa in itself ndash by attending satsang you are tryingto help make yourself a better human being which will eventually help build a better society betterhumanity After all the whole is more them the sum of its parts

मर दन द बड़ तरीक न इक सगत करना ह जो बोा ह ओदा वी भला जो सा ह ओदा वी भलाldquo

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience

मर दन द बड़ तरीक न इक सगत करना ह जो बोा ह ओदा वी भला जो सा ह ओदा वी भलाldquo

I have many ways to bless ndash one of them is to do Satsang (share knowledge) One who speaks he also benefits and the one who listens

also benefits

About Satsang

Guruji Satsang is all about meditation doing sewa andsharing your experience It is three hours long divineexperience comprising Shabads meditation Prasad (JalChai snacks Langar) and knowledge sharing

You may get invitation through various means and it isexpected that you should RSVP at least two days beforesatsang if you want to attend Prasad is made andcontributed by sewadars with love and devotion so it isimportant that they know how much they should bringto avoid shortage or excesswastage A satsang isorganized with combined efforts of many people whoare called sewadaars There is always opportunity to dosewa Feel free to contact host o coordinator if you wantto do any sewa including any prasad contribution Donot bring any gifts or prasad for offering to Guruji unlessagreed with hosts in advance

Try to arrive at least 10 minutes before start timebecause satsang always starts sharp on time It is such animportant rule that we donrsquot wait for even the hosts ifthey are running late or are busy in something

During Satsang

Reality is based on fact Belief is based on logic but Faith is beyond facts and logic So if you wantto experience faith you have to bring only 3 parts of yourself in the Satsang - Body Breath andSoul Keep your mind intellect and ego outside where you remove your shoes and chappals

There is no socialization in Guruji Satsang Darbaar so no one discusses new purse newornaments sale in the town bollywood or politics No one uses mobiles phones during satsang

You should expect to receive three servings of prasad during the Satsang - Jal Prasad in thebeginning Chai prasad with a snack around one hour after the start of Satsang and finallyLangar Prasad after Aarti It is mandatory that you finish full prasad and there are two reasonsfor that - we believe every drop of prasad has Gurujirsquos divine blessings so not even a drop ofblessings should be left in the plate It is also in line with our belief that food in any form is sosacrosanct that wasting even a drop of it is against humanity

Sharing experience is a divine opportunity It is important that you use this opportunity wiselyBe brief and to the point - try to limit your satsangexperience sharing to maximum 5 to 7minutes so that other people also get opportunity Also try not to disturb the speaker byinterrupting having side private talks or moving around the area

Satsang is a huge detoxification exercise All negativity from our body and soul is sucked out andabsorbed by almighty Guruji during the meditation With so much of toxins and spirituality in theair It is not the right kind of environment to have children who themselves are God by heart Soit is very important to keep the children away from the satsang darbaar

Last but not the least unlike parties and occasions hostsrsquo full attention during the satsang is onGuruji so please do not feel offended if hosts do not extend common courtesy of greeting you ormaking you comfortable or offering you guest like experience
