Life is A beautiful Struggle

in which, one remembers god.
Art :http://iminderarts.com/
If there was no pain, then how can one appreciate the value of happiness? Sometimes i think when I am in need of "inspiration", god sends me reasons to shed tears. How could I have ever loved god, if everyone loved me? Not only he has made me appreciate the value of happiness, but he has proved to me that, when everyone walks out of a person's life, Wahiguru (Wonderful god) will be there, right next to you. Physically and emotionally.


But when god gives us reasons to be happy, then why does it takes us 1 second to forget him? How can one feel so blessed one minute, and then another second have him lost.

If dukh is what makes me closer to you, then how can I ignorant, soul, complain about it?

Dukh daru sukh rogh pyai.

This is a selfish soul, which can neither appreciate any pain nor handle any happinesss..

Long Journey


The path upon which I walk is very depressing. 
It is sharper than a two edged sword, and very narrow.
This is where my path lies.
O Shakeeh Fareed, think of this path early on.

(note: in order to listen to this, scroll all the way, at the end of this blog, and stop the kirtan.)

 This is where all of us girl's stayed (2 nights). There were about 20 Kaur's.

 Gurpreet phenjee, and aman phenjee not sharing!! hehe


On the last day of camp, all of the campers including the sevadars, were writing letter to Wahiguru, expressing anything that came in mind, or anywishes they had. We were told that these letters will be send to god. After everyone took thier time to write them, Ardass was done by Bibi Jasdeep Kaur, and the letters were burned, and send to wahiguru. And just like, end was made to Kamai Camp, (mini version of Kaurs United Camp.)

Bhai Joga Singh Jee

Bhai Joga singh lived around the time of guru gobind singh jee. When Bhai Joga singh jee met guru jee, he asked bhai joga singh jee's name, and then asked him who is he worthy of?(also known as Joga). Bhai Joga Singh Jee said, I am worty of you guru jee, and guru jee told him, and guru is worthy of you(joga). For many years at Anandpur, He served guru jee well. As the sakhi(story) goes, bhai Joga singh jee left Anadpur Sahib, to get married to pasavar. Guru Gobind Singh Jee, told bhai Joga Jee, that when he is to be called, he should come right away. So after bhai joga singh jee's fourth lava, Guru Gobind Singh jee send his Sikhs to tell bhai joga jee, that guru jee needs him to come, in the middle of the wedding. As he halted for a night at Hosiarpur, on his way to guru gobind singh jee, bhai joga singh's mind got enticed by seeing a beautiful courtesan (prostitute). As he went to womens door, the women told bhai joga singh jee "what are you doing here? your a guru's sikh?". Bhai Joga singh jee attempted to go again, trying to hide this face, with scarf. Failed to attempt, Bhai Joga singh jee left dissappointed towards Guru Jee. When Guru Gobind Singh Jee asked him, how his jorney was, he try to hide it, however, when guru jee kept asking it again, Bhai Joga Singh Jee final admitted his error, which was build due to his pride of leaving in the middle of his wedding. So he told the guru gobind singh jee, and other sikhs of how he was fallen, and was saved due to guru jee's grace.

Guru Gobind Singh jee saved his Sikh from lust, because Bhai Joga jee did something for the guru.

Moral of the story: Even the most Chardikala Sikhs, who has guru jee's blessing, can be fallen down. It is important that just because we wake up at amritvela, do simran, we have to be carefully not to get too much ego from it, because anytime, and anywhere guru jee can take away from us, what he has given us.


Later Gurdwara was dedicated to Bhai Joga singh jee in Hoshiarpur

Fear of losing you


Everyman is afraid of something. That's how you know he's in love with you; when he's afraid of losing you. -Unkown


The soul that had been awaken, uplifted by the desire of God, inevitably, awake to the fear of losing him.


saa budhh dheejai jith visarehi naahee || Give me that state of mind, by which I may not forget You.
