Open Only If You Have Time For God


Recommended Posts

Hello there dear one,

I know that this is rather a long message but believe me it will move you as

it did me. It touched my soul. This sort of messages are such beautiful

reminders to us about how important we are to GOD and no matter what HE

always loves us and hears our prayers.

Have a wonderful blessed day and God bless.

Satwant Kaur

Faults are thick where love is thin.

RELIGION IS LIKE THE BANANA SKIN, AND SPIRITUALITY IS THE BANANA.

PEOPLE HAVE THROWN AWAY THE BANANA AND ARE HOLDING ON TO THE

SKIN.

God is always ever ready for us but are we ready for Him?

God is always ever ready and serious in giving us anything He thinks is good

for us, but are we taking Him serious?

We celebrate our success with family and friends, how often have we

celebrated our success and happiness with Him?

We go to Him often only when we are troubled, telling Him all our problems

and asking Him for guidance and asking Him for His Blessings.

We go to Him when we have failures and asking Him to help.

We don't celebrate our failures with Him either.

We are treating Him like a garbage bin and yet He still loves us so dearly.

We often believe we should pay our respect to God only in religious places

and forgetting that God is Omnipresent and He will receive us everywhere.

We believe God is ONE and He is our Creator, yet we always identify so much

among ourselves and there's where big and small differences arise.

We agree that God is our Creator and He creates all of us, yet we insult

each other and judge on each other, our nationality, our race, our colour,

our gender,

our status and religion, etc.

We forgotten that when we are angry with each other and feel unhappy with

each other, we are angry and unhappy with the Creator.

We often said, "we", does that not tell us that we = ONE?

We are ONE and yet everyday we are thinking of I, I, I, and You, You, You

and what about me, me, me ???

We put forward so much of ourselves first and creating a barrier of

discomfort with the others.

We only want and accept the positive things in life.

We don't want negative things in life.

We have forgotten that God wants us to experience both the pleasant and

unpleasant for our spiritual growth.

We may wish to know that Religion & Spirituality are entirely 2 different

things.

We may wish to know that Religion & Spirituality are two sides of a coin.

We may wish to know that Religion is the stepping stone to Spiritual path.

Without Him, I am nothing. But with Him, I can do all things through Christ

that strengthens me." ( Phil 4:13.)

Just a Short Story for All!

A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street,

going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out

from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something.

As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the

Jag's side door!

He slammed on the brakes and drove the Jag back to the spot where the brick

had been thrown.

The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and

pushed him up against a parked car shouting,

"What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?

That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money.

Why did you do it?"

The young boy was apologetic. "Please, mister... please, I'm sorry... I

didn't know what else to do," He pleaded. "I threw the bri

ck because no one

else would stop..." With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the

youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. "It's my brother," he

said. "He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't

lift him up."

Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, "Would you please help me

get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."

Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in

his throat. He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the

wheelchair, then took out his fancy handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh

scrapes and cuts. A quick look told him everything was going to be okay.

"Thank you and may God bless you," the grateful child told the stranger.

Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy push his

wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home.

It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very noticeable,

but the driver never bothered to repair the dented side door.

He kept the dent there to remind him of this message "Don't go through life

so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!"

God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts. Sometimes when we don't

have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us.

It's our choice.

Thought for the Day:

If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If He had a wallet,

your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring.

He sends you a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, He listens.

He can live anywhere in the universe, but He chose your heart. Face it,

friend -- He is crazy about you!

God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without

rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears,and

light for

the way.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
