People from different cultures follow different practices to keep their 'purity' intact. Some may bathe several times a day, and others may decide to live in solitude.

Some believe that places can be rendered 'impure' for certain periods of time based on what happened there, including even the most natural beautiful acts like giving birth. The question is, does following such practises actually help us in purifying ourselves?

Through the Bani (words) of Asa Di Vaar, Guru Ji explains how our eyes, ears and tongue are impure because we use them to slander, gossip and negatively look upon others. In turn, all of this leads to an impure state of mind. Guru tells us precisely what we need to do to remove the impurities of the mind.

#5 Escape the Dance of the pleasing world (gurmukh dtoondt dtoondtendia) - Asa di Vaar English Katha

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/fRv4fbwAjOo

Guru Amar Das ji warns us about allowing people to fill our head with negativity against others. 

Bhai Baljit Singh goes through how we often get caught up in petty arguments that turn into something bigger, which often happens with the people we share our lives with. Many of times we end up speaking to people about our problems that are stuck in situations in their own lives leading to a negative outcome. Bhai Baljit Singh gives an example from his own life how he was guided by a Saint to be very selective about who he decides to spill his heart to. 

Guru Amar Das ji tells us that The Guru knows your inner-state, fall at the Guru’s feet and The Guru will guide you.

Petty Arguments | 29th April | Sri Darbar Sahib Hukamnama | Bhai Baljit Singh

Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji taking it upon themselves brings our attention to how we get tired of instructing our mind and how it also doesn’t take on any advice. Instead it remains in the loophole of the same habits. Guru ji uses a famous example about how a dog's tail cannot be straightened, in the same way we do not change our ways. 

Bhai Baljit Singh helps us to understand how habits are formed and how to become conscious of the sequence a habit works in. Most often we are unaware of certain habits and go about living our life unconsciously but receiving the wisdom of something is like shining a light on it which helps us to make conscious decisions.

Guru Arjun Dev Ji gives us some examples of how we may go through extreme physical difficulties & suffering but tells us that the worst suffering of all is the mental suffering of anxiety. 

Guru Ji tells us that the only way out of this suffering is meditating on the Name of God taking us beyond the ego.

Bhai Baljit Singh tells a beautiful Sakhi towards the end of the Katha about an incident that took place with Baba Amar Das Ji whilst bringing water back in a metal pitcher for Guru Angad Dev Ji.

Guru Arjun Dev Ji reminds us about the beautiful nature of Vaheguru Ji (God). Vaheguru Ji’s nature is forever compassionate & forgiving, not taking into account our merits or faults Vaheguru Ji embraces us like a loving mother. 

Bhai Baljit Singh goes through the Sakhi (true story) of a very bright, intelligent Raj-Pandit (Royal Brahmin Priest) who came to be known as Ajaamal the Sinner (Ajaamal Papi). This Sakhi gives us all hope that it’s never too late and Vaheguru Ji will take us in no matter how much luggage of faults we are carrying.
