Each pauri (stanza) takes you on a journey closer to your soul, step by step. Through taking on the wisdom of Japji Sahib, you can realise your true self. In each podcast, Bhai Baljit Singh explores one pauri at a time in a friendly discussion format, using very relatable and real life examples to learn from. 
Let's go on this journey together and go back home to our soul.

When we realise that we are bound by the One's divine will and cannot escape that, we start to step away from the multiple layers of ego that we are stuck in. Having this realisation is our doorway to liberation.

Whilst being identified with the ego and being separated from the truth, we continue to remain bound to our karmic load (past experiences). The only way to break this cycle is to receive Vaheguru Ji's (God's) grace. To receive this grace, we have to play to the game that the Creator has created.

The very things sitting before our eyes can become the sign to realise God's existence. When you bring God's gifts into your awareness, it gives you the opportunity not only to think of God but also to experience the existence of God. In this third stanza of Japji Sahib, Bhai Baljit Singh discusses the different ways in which some experience a glimpse of God.

We often hear that God is love but through which lens are we trying to understand God's love? Gurbani itself defines God's love for us which is that God's vision is equal upon all. To experience the love of God, Guru Nanak tells us to deeply contemplate the greatness of the One. This will open us to Vaheguru's grace allowing us to experience God's love.

What we often perceive to be the truth is tainted with the lens of ignorance (Maya). The illusion of Maya keeps us from experiencing or knowing that there is only the One. When we start to serve, seeing everything to be a play of that One, the honour we receive is the very embrace of the One.

Sometimes we spend a lot of time and effort in doing certain practises that are more pleasing to us than to the One. Guru Nanak Dev Ji asks, 'what is it that we receive outside of grace?' The Guru gives us the understanding that everything comes from the One. Through the remembrance of the One (Simran), we can become aware of grace and through that, receive divine qualities.

What can you do to realise the One's grace? - Japji Sahib Podcast EP6

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/2qXVjrMMdj0

In today's age, it's easy to fall into the trap of chasing fame, likes and followers in the hope it brings us some form of satisfaction and happiness. It doesn't matter how known we become, if we haven't come into the glance of the One, all of it is a waste. 

Becoming self aware of our feelings when we come to know that we have been slandered will help us to know if we are resisting God, or if we are allowing ourself to be in the glance of God and the nature of love and compassion. Being in the company of those that are virtuous can help us to experience those very virtues within ourself. Bhai Baljit Singh discusses how to practically deal with experiencing hurt and slandering whilst maintaining Godly qualities.

Just because we're hearing somebody talk, it doesn't necessarily mean we are actually listening to them. We can often be eager to give our pre-calculated response, instead of listening with compassion and patience. The true essence of listening is a test of our humility. Whilst listening with humility we'll not only be able to just listen to someones words, but go even deeper and tap into their feelings and emotions. 

Listening in this way will guide us towards listening to the divine that is in constant communication with us. Through this, we can truly blossom.

What does it actually mean to be foul-mouthed according to Guru Nanak Dev Ji? The moment we curse at God for getting things wrong is the definition of being foul-mouthed. Praising Vaheguru (God) is when we're in a state of acceptance and understanding that the things that happen around us are a play of divine will, in the same way Guru Gobind Singh Ji did, after seeing his sons and Singhs being martyred before his eyes, singing in a state of acceptance to Vaheguru, calling Vaheguru their beloved friend.

As difficult as it may be to speak the truth in today's world, it is even more difficult to live the truth. Truthful living in its full package is practised without pride (looking down upon others). Through listening deeply, we will know exactly what to say and do to access truthful living. The journey of deep listening allows us to know our own self and know the patterns of how our mind works. Once we intuitively learn to read ourself and our own mind, we can get a much deeper understanding of others too.

Vaheguru (God) is inside you. Go deep inside and listen to that intuition that lives within you. From this, the specific and relevant actions will come to you. If you use this inner voice which will always guide you in the right way, it will lead you to embracing and having divine virtues. It will guide you towards crossing this world ocean with ease. Within this listening, the divine qualities will be present. If the qualities aren't present, we're not listening. As you connect to that vibration, you will automatically be pulled towards those qualities. If you're in sync with your intuition, that inner listening will only provide you with a place of working from love and compassion, because that vibration is that itself.

Why is it that two different people could be doing the exact same outward action and reach a completely different spiritual state? Guru Nanak Dev Ji tells us that this path is all about devotion and standing at the door of Vaheguru (God) whilst being imbued. It's being in a state of longing, surrender and love which takes us to a state of devotion. The path is devotion. That is the way that you're going to get through those doors to Vaheguru and when somebody is on that path, you can never describe where they are internally. 

Bhai Baljit Singh shares the true story of when Bhai Mardana Ji was hypnotised by Noor Shah to believe he was a ram to exemplify the difference between genuine devotion and obtaining power for ill intentions.

Acceptance is not to resist the light within us. When we're in internal mental pain, it's because we're resisting that part of Vaheguru (God) within us. Living in that state of sweet acceptance will give us the awareness of our mind which is made up of memories, thoughts and experiences. When our only reality is our identities, we are controlled by our emotions. Guru Nanak Dev Ji is telling us that our liberation lies in listening and surrendering in each moment to Naam (connection to the divine).

To walk on the path of devotion, we have to be willing to place our ego before the Guru. Whilst surrendering to the Guru, it doesn't matter what task you are told to carry out, but it's following the Guru with full faith that will start to break down that wall of ego. The Guru is taking us back to our true nature which is love and bliss. When we start living from that nature, whatever action we perform in this world will be filled with love and compassion.

What do people class as freedom? Is it to be able to make certain choices in life that you weren't able to make before? The Guru talks about freeing us from the imprisonment of ego and unconscious desires. Liberation is freeing ourselves from our identities of needing to be validated and praised or giving the power away to be affected by someone else speaking low of us. Freedom is living in a complete state of consciousness and always remaining in love.

Bhai Baljit Singh talks about what 'Panch' means and how we can cultivate saintly qualities in our life, drawing from the lives of the Gurus and the Bhagats. In one of the most famous lines in Japji Sahib ਧੌਲੁ ਧਰਮੁ ਦਇਆ ਕਾ ਪੂਤੁ ॥ (dhaual dharam deaa kaa poot), the translation you'd normally find available is 'The mythical bull is Dharma, the son of compassion'. Bhai Baljit Singh properly explains this confusing english translation, uncovering the true meaning of this line.

It's not necessarily the same thing that works for everyone. Ultimately, we want to get to a place where we let go and surrender to be with Vaheguru but it can be different things take you to that place. The focus is not so much on the action itself. The whole purpose is that the grip of the ego is reducing and we are experiencing the qualities of God.

In this video, Bhai Baljit Singh discusses how certain people express their love for God in different ways. Some may express it by being more of a mother, father or friend to the world. As a receiver, when we open our heart to that, Vaheguru will always give us the love that we are seeking.

It's easy to get caught up in our own head and feel that everything is centred around us and our feelings. Guru Nanak Dev Ji brings the vastness and grand scale of this creation to our awareness. 

Guru Ji wants us to live this life realising how the creator's name is signed on everything. We can give meaning to everything and anything and allow the creation to take us to a state of awe and feel a oneness with the creator. There's nothing that hasn't got Vaheguru's name to it.
