but He is with you

but He is with you

from Thav Prasadh Svaiye dheenan kee prathipaal karai nith santh oubaar ganeemangaarai |

I tend to look everywhere for Guru Sahib, maybe Guru Sahib is in some place far from where I am. But Guru Sahib tells us that He resides deep withing our core, waiting for us to realize. Amazing. Guru Sahib is WITH us. What more do we need if we have Guru Sahib. Guru Sahib takes care of us from the inside. No wonder I’m still standing.

kaahae ko ddolath hai thumaree sudh sundhar sree padhamaa path laihai | 5|247|
O man! why are you disappointed? The glorious and
beautiful Lord of illusion shall care for you.(5)(247)

raakhath hai apano kar dhai kar paap sanbooh n bhaettan paavai |
He holds out his hand to protect and hampers the
multitude of sins from approaching.

gur khin khin preet lagavo merai heerai mearae preetam naam paraanaa

Guru Jee, will You be my valentine?

i am worthless. And yet You care. i make mistakes. And yet You forgive me. i am selfish, and yet You spoil me. You have cared for me, loved me, held my hand, and i have not even said thanks. You have blessed me with this life, and i have done nothing in return. i waste away. But You still give more. i have run away countless times. And You have waited for me with patience. You have embraced me with open arms. And i have taken that for granted. I have forgotten You many times. And yet You have not forgotten me once. You have given me life. Another breath,another chance. You have been there when no one else was. You have comforted me through countless hardships. And i have done nothing to deserve You. Please do not forget me. Please continue to Love me. You are all i have.

today, i read some bani from a sehaj paat me and my mom have going before i went to school. I was around ang 696 and guru jee just has these wonderous ways of showing us things. This was the first shabad on that ang:

maerai heearai rathan naam har basiaa gur haathh dhhariou maerai maathhaa ||
The Jewel of the Lord’s Name abides within my heart; the Guru has placed His hand on my forehead.

sikhitothemax.com/page.asp?ShabadID=2643

The 3rd shabad was: gur khin khin preeth lagaavahu maerai heearai maerae preetham naam paraanaa

Kaahae ko ddolath?

kaahae ko ddolath hai thumaree sudh sundhar sree padhamaa path laihai | 5|247|

Guru Sahib, is awesome and Beautiful.

We make all these mistakes, mistakes that even some people will never forgive us for making. And then you feel like crap. But we shouldn’t care. Sikhi gives us something no one else can give us, Guru Sahib. He doesn’t care, you can forget Him, hurt Him, leave Him, and then when you realize your mistakes and come back, and He’s still there, waiting. He still loves us no matter what. Thats beyond amazingness.

One day, everything will work out, and we’ll realize Guru Sahib’s greatness everyday, but we gotta do something too. We have to try. All we need to do is take on step to Guru Sahib, just ONE step, and Guru Sahib will get nearer. One step. Amazingness.

We shouldn’t be disappointed, we should be in Chardi Kala all the time, because thats what Guru Sahib wants us to do. And if someone else is sad, mad, frustrated, gloomy, confused, or in doubt, we should help them realize that everything will be ok, because Guru Sahib is there, He knows everything, He knows whats deep inside us. We don’t even have to tell anyone, Guru Sahib knows whats troubling us. So everything will be ok, because we have Guru Sahib, who will take care of us, no matter what. Beautiful.

This is what i truly feel.
