ratikala

Oh my! What'd I do this time?

I am doing really well and hope you are, too.
About to start my practicum work for graduation.

One is an Alternative school.
The other is a drop in centre for people with mental health issues.

Pretty excited to finally get my heart and now my head working for the good and not just sitting in classes.

Spiritually... I've felt very whole lately. Whole.... but not complete :flower2:

:namaste

The Guru Granth Sahib is not arranged according to chapters, it's arranged according to raag (musical tune). It is referenced by page only. So 3 of 1430 is the correct reference for the shabad you quoted. You can abbreviate a Gurbani reference like this, for example: SGGS Ang 3.

Yes, I would love to get my hands on any book by Shyamdas. He seemed so dedicated to His Lord!

:angel2:

Thank you ratikala ji :namaste

My pleasure dear ratikala,... :namaste

I look forward to learning more about your beliefs at some stage, bhenji

:namaste Thank you.

It's saddening as well as perplexing. It's almost as if people are so insecure in their faith (whatever it is, be it Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity) that they need to run down someone else's belief; or rather, take a "it's my way or the wrong way" attitude. Most religions are syncretic at their ancient roots, and they evolve. That happens because those syncretized elements are compatible.

Yes:
satyameva jayate nānṛtaṁ
satyena panthā vitato devayānaḥ |
yenākramantyṛṣayo hyāptakāmā
yatra tat satyasya paramaṁ nidhānam ||

finally we r sucessful !!!hurrey ... :namaste: for your effort !!!

"I am assuming A ; is 'not' .....so not 'japa' as in the sence of mantra chanting"

correct , Ajaapa jaap means " Chanting without chant " , it means chant becomes automatic , 24*7 day n night with every breathe .

I liked the interpretation of "samsara is dukka." Never saw that one before.

Thanx for the baggage laden frubie!

Thank you for the frubals.

Thank you Ratikala for the frubes. Am I piling up karma?

Friend. I haven't forgotten about the message you sent.
Busy week at school.
Should be with you shortly

Hope you are well.
