Ok. Yeh of course that's what we supposed to do. But He respects our decisions. He doesn't gain or win anything by us turning to Him, it's our priveledge and we alone gain from it. We walk this path for Us, not for others. 

 

Because we Are Truth just like Him, that's the discovery we're meant to make and understand. 

It's a path of self discovery. And the way we do it, is we surrender ourselves at the feet of Truth, just as He did after he sat for many ages of self contemplation and evaluation. 

He's our creator, He's the Truth, He practices it each moment, and the moment He stops, the game, khel, shuts down.  In surrendering ourselves as Nothing but slaves of Truth, we're honoring our true self, which is One with God. 

 

You are right God does not need anything from us.  He doesn't even need our full attention with love and devotion at his lotus feet.  Sukhmani Sahib says God is absorbed in himself. 

Also this line is being mistranslated. 

ਜੁਗੁ ਜੁਗੁ ਭਗਤ ਪਿਆਰੇ ਹਰਿ ਆਪਿ ਸਵਾਰੇ ਆਪੇ ਭਗਤੀ ਲਾਏ 

Nothing is independent.  So who is the Bhagat? There is no "us" when it comes to who is doing bhagti.  There is only God.  So what does God need from himself in the form of a Bhagat? Nothing!!!  Neither are we Truth because we don't exist. The light in the body is him.  Its an illusion to think we exist.  Only he (God) exist and nothing else. He is the Truth and he is the Bhagat and the bhagti and he is the shabad which simran is done on. 

Keep going.  Your going in the right direction with your train of thought.  Just get rid of the I exist part, which can only be done by continuously meditating on him.  When it goes away, you start asking what he wants and start following his instructions more closely.

    • 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.
