#13 Attain Liberation Through Love (Jin Mastak Dhur Har Likhia)  - Asa Di Vaar English Katha

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

It is normal to make comparisons. Naturally, we do it for things that are hot vs cold, good vs bad. That being said, the comparisons we make about ourselves should lead to the positive development of ourself. If we are reciting one Japji Sahib every day and comparing ourselves to someone who recites nothing, what motivation are we creating to do more? We should compare ourselves to those amazing Gursikhs/Bhagats/Gurus who constantly recite Gurbani & Naam, and aspire to be like them. Let's surround ourselves amongst those types of people. Let's converse with them, learn from them and in turn, with the blessings of the Guru, experience a spiritual growth.

Do you know who you are? Do you truly know someone else? In this short video taken from the Asa Di Vaar English Katha (discourse), Bhai Harman Singh uses the Sakhi (true story) of Guru Gobind Singh and Bhai Joga Singh to help us understand who we are and who we want to be.

Often, when we are asked to describe ourselves, we look for the most positive things to say; whilst knowing that the points we give are not an accurate description of who we are. From self-evaluation, comes improvement.

So, what kind of person are you? And who do you want to be?

Guru Granth Sahib Ji (the eternal Sikh Guru) tells us that pain is the medicine and comfort is the disease. Sometimes we are so engrossed in the ways of the world that we don't realise how much harm these ways cause.

A lockdown starts and the next thought on our mind is about what Netflix series we can watch. Blessed are those thinking about reading an extra Japji Sahib (first Sikh prayer) a day. Be the latter! Where the world tells you to watch the latest movies and play the newest video games, be the person that listens to a new Katha (discourse) or learns a new Bani (Prayer).

You can follow everyone down a path that seems normal and safe, or you can challenge the mind and find your self in an actual state of bliss.

Through this event, Guru Ji brings to life the teaching of not judging a book by its cover, reminding us that education is not everything. With the Guru's hand on your head and a true desire for spiritual growth, anyone regardless of age, gender, race, caste, religion and ethnicity can become absorbed with the Creator (Vaheguru).
