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

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/jCbgJ7YI21Y

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.

Understanding Habits | 30th April | Sri Darbar Sahib Hukamnama | Bhai Baljit Singh

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/aaICXETOEe8

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.

It’s never too Late - Sakhi of Ajaamal | 1st May - Sri Darbar Sahib Hukamnama | Bhai Baljit Singh

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

Guru Arjun Dev Ji tells us that Devotion & Naam is the true wealth of those that have no worldly wealth. Naam is the true home for the homeless and Vaheguru Ji is the power of the powerless.

ਅਧਰੰ ਧਰੰ ਧਾਰਣਹ ਨਿਰਧਨੰ ਧਨ ਨਾਮ ਨਰਹਰਹ ॥
He gives Support to the unsupported. The Name of the Lord is the Wealth of the poor.

ਅਨਾਥ ਨਾਥ ਗੋਬਿੰਦਹ ਬਲਹੀਣ ਬਲ ਕੇਸਵਹ ॥
The Lord of the Universe is the Master of the masterless; the Beautiful-haired Lord is the Power of the weak.

ਸਰਬ ਭੂਤ ਦਯਾਲ ਅਚੁਤ ਦੀਨ ਬਾਂਧਵ ਦਾਮੋਦਰਹ ॥
The Lord is Merciful to all beings, Eternal and Unchanging, the Family of the meek and humble.

ਸਰਬਗੵ ਪੂਰਨ ਪੁਰਖ ਭਗਵਾਨਹ ਭਗਤਿ ਵਛਲ ਕਰੁਣਾ ਮਯਹ ॥
The All-knowing, Perfect, Primal Lord God is the Lover of His devotees, the Embodiment of Mercy.

ਘਟਿ ਘਟਿ ਬਸੰਤ ਬਾਸੁਦੇਵਹ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਪਰਮੇਸੁਰਹ ॥
The Supreme Lord God, the Transcendent, Luminous Lord, dwells in each and every heart.

ਜਾਚੰਤਿ ਨਾਨਕ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾਲ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦੰ ਨਹ ਬਿਸਰੰਤਿ ਨਹ ਬਿਸਰੰਤਿ ਨਾਰਾਇਣਹ ॥੨੧॥
Nanak begs for this blessing from the Merciful Lord, that he may never forget Him, never forget Him. ||21||

#10 The true Wealth - Bhai Kattu Shah Sakhi (adharn dharn) - Salok Sehaskriti English Katha

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/a5NzulcgQa0

Guru Nanak Dev Ji gives us multiple examples of how something looks attractive from the outside but is completely empty on the inside. 

Guru Ji recited this Shabad in a place called Tulamba at a Dharamsala (rest house for travellers) which belonged to someone that went by the name ‘Sajjan’ meaning friend.

This Shabad helps us to look inside and focus on filling ourselves with powerful emotions like compassion & love.

Gift of Humility | 5th May - Sri Darbar Sahib Hukamnama | Bhai Baljit Singh

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/5U5Ze6MptAw
Guru Arjun Dev tell us that we’re powerless in-front of Vaheguru Ji’s laws. We cannot demand our heart to be filled with love but instead if we beg in humility Vaheguru Ji will shower us with grace and bless us with the constant remembrance of Naam (God’s Name).

ਨਹ ਸਮਰਥੰ ਨਹ ਸੇਵਕੰ ਨਹ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਪਰਮ ਪੁਰਖੋਤਮੰ ॥
I have no power; I do not serve You, and I do not love You, O Supreme Sublime Lord God.

ਤਵ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ਸਿਮਰਤੇ ਨਾਮੰ ਨਾਨਕ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾਲ ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਗੁਰੰ ॥੨੨॥
By Your Grace, Nanak meditates on the Naam, the Name of the Merciful Lord, Har, Har. ||22||

#12 Building Patience (sehan seel santan) Salok Sehaskriti English Katha | Bhai Baljit Singh

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/kB49OrBY_WI

ਦੁਲਭ ਜਨਮੁ ਪੁੰਨ ਫਲ ਪਾਇਓ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਾਤ ਅਬਿਬੇਕੈ ॥ 
I obtained this precious human life as a reward for my past actions, but without discriminating wisdom, it is wasted in vain.

ਰਾਜੇ ਇੰਦ੍ਰ ਸਮਸਰਿ ਗ੍ਰਿਹ ਆਸਨ ਬਿਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਭਗਤਿ ਕਹਹੁ ਕਿਹ ਲੇਖੈ ॥੧॥ 
Tell me, without devotional worship of the Lord, of what use are mansions and thrones like those of King Indra? ||1||

ਨ ਬੀਚਾਰਿਓ ਰਾਜਾ ਰਾਮ ਕੋ ਰਸੁ ॥ 
You have not considered the sublime essence of the Name of the Lord, our King;

ਜਿਹ ਰਸ ਅਨ ਰਸ ਬੀਸਰਿ ਜਾਹੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ 
this sublime essence shall cause you to forget all other essences. ||1||Pause||

ਜਾਨਿ ਅਜਾਨ ਭਏ ਹਮ ਬਾਵਰ ਸੋਚ ਅਸੋਚ ਦਿਵਸ ਜਾਹੀ ॥ 
We do not know what we need to know, and we have become insane. We do not consider what we should consider; our days are passing away.

ਇੰਦ੍ਰੀ ਸਬਲ ਨਿਬਲ ਬਿਬੇਕ ਬੁਧਿ ਪਰਮਾਰਥ ਪਰਵੇਸ ਨਹੀ ॥੨॥ 
Our passions are strong, and our discriminating intellect is weak; we have no access to the supreme objective. ||2||

ਕਹੀਅਤ ਆਨ ਅਚਰੀਅਤ ਅਨ ਕਛੁ ਸਮਝ ਨ ਪਰੈ ਅਪਰ ਮਾਇਆ ॥ 
We say one thing, and do something else; entangled in endless Maya, we do not understand anything.

ਕਹਿ ਰਵਿਦਾਸ ਉਦਾਸ ਦਾਸ ਮਤਿ ਪਰਹਰਿ ਕੋਪੁ ਕਰਹੁ ਜੀਅ ਦਇਆ ॥੩॥੩॥ 
Says Ravi Daas, Your slave, O Lord, I am disillusioned and detached; please, spare me Your anger, and have mercy on my soul. ||3||3||

The Juice of Life | 8th May - Sri Darbar Sahib Hukamnama | Bhai Baljit Singh

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/G_wMQ3ium94

Guru Arjun Dev Ji reminds us about the nature of desires. Even if someone becomes a ruler and owns large amounts of land, the burning desire is still not satisfied and they still seek for more.

Guru Ji goes onto explain that no one has felt satisfied and complete from untruthful living but still we continue to make the same mistakes again & again, even after regretting our actions we still continue to live in that way. Guru Ji then gives us hope telling us that our mind can be reprogrammed through Naam.

Guru Arjun Dev Ji tells us that only truthful living can lead to contentment. Only when we’re content we can realise our true-self.

You’re so close | 27th May - Sri Darbar Sahib Hukamnama | Ang 706 | Bhai Baljit Singh

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/IG52SS2FIkI

Guru Arjun Dev Ji tells us that out of control lust that leads into lowly actions is a ticket straight to hell. Lust never lets the mind settle, the mind goes round & round in the hell of lustful thoughts. The desires of lust that become engraved deep within the mind keeps us in the suffering of birth & death. 

Bhai Baljit Singh explains that lust holds a purpose in the play of Vaheguru Ji’s creation. We’re all built with the natural drive to procreate and lust plays a part in this process of procreation but when lust hijacks our life we could be in for a rocky ride. The only escape is to surrender in the company of Saints & Gurmukhs.

Listen to Naam Simran Abhyaas Sant Darshan Singh Ji Dakki Sahib:
https://soundcloud.com/dgnsounds/naam-simran-abhyaas-sant-darshan-singh-ji-dhakki-sahib-uk-tour-2018-west-bromwich

ਹੇ ਕਾਮੰ ਨਰਕ ਬਿਸ੍ਰਾਮੰ ਬਹੁ ਜੋਨੀ ਭ੍ਰਮਾਵਣਹ ॥
O sexual desire, you lead the mortals to hell; you make them wander in reincarnation through countless species.

ਚਿਤ ਹਰਣੰ ਤ੍ਰੈ ਲੋਕ ਗੰਮੵੰ ਜਪ ਤਪ ਸੀਲ ਬਿਦਾਰਣਹ ॥
You cheat the consciousness, and pervade the three worlds. You destroy meditation, penance and virtue.

ਅਲਪ ਸੁਖ ਅਵਿਤ ਚੰਚਲ ਊਚ ਨੀਚ ਸਮਾਵਣਹ ॥
But you give only shallow pleasure, while you make the mortals weak and unsteady; you pervade the high and the low.

ਤਵ ਭੈ ਬਿਮੁੰਚਿਤ ਸਾਧ ਸੰਗਮ ਓਟ ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਰਾਇਣਹ ॥੪੬॥
Your fear is dispelled in the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, O Nanak, through the Protection and Support of Vaheguru.

#23 Out of control Lust (he kaman narak bisraaman) Salok Sehaskriti English Katha | Baljit Singh

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

Guru Arjun Dev Ji tells us that the root cause of conflict is anger. Anger is such an emotion that it doesn't allow compassion to rise up within us. Anger is a strong emotion that takes control over our mind and makes us dance like a monkey. Our journey to recovery begins when we take our guard down, stop justifying being angry and beg before Vaheguru Ji (God) to help and save us.

ਹੇ ਕਲਿ ਮੂਲ ਕ੍ਰੋਧੰ ਕਦੰਚ ਕਰੁਣਾ ਨ ਉਪਰਜਤੇ ॥
O anger, you are the root of conflict; compassion never rises up in you.

ਬਿਖਯੰਤ ਜੀਵੰ ਵਸੵੰ ਕਰੋਤਿ ਨਿਰਤੵੰ ਕਰੋਤਿ ਜਥਾ ਮਰਕਟਹ ॥
You take the corrupt, sinful beings in your power, and make them dance like monkeys.

ਅਨਿਕ ਸਾਸਨ ਤਾੜੰਤਿ ਜਮਦੂਤਹ ਤਵ ਸੰਗੇ ਅਧਮੰ ਨਰਹ ॥
Associating with you, mortals are debased and punished by the Messenger of Death in so many ways.

ਦੀਨ ਦੁਖ ਭੰਜਨ ਦਯਾਲ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਰਬ ਜੀਅ ਰਖੵਾ ਕਰੋਤਿ ॥੪੭॥
O Destroyer of the pains of the poor, O Merciful God, Nanak prays for You to protect all begins from such anger. ||47||

ਹੇ ਕਲਿ ਮੂਲ ਕ੍ਰੋਧੰ ਕਦੰਚ ਕਰੁਣਾ ਨ ਉਪਰਜਤੇ ॥
O anger, you are the root of conflict; compassion never rises up in you.

You take the corrupt, sinful beings in your power, and make them dance like monkeys.

ਅਨਿਕ ਸਾਸਨ ਤਾੜੰਤਿ ਜਮਦੂਤਹ ਤਵ ਸੰਗੇ ਅਧਮੰ ਨਰਹ ॥
Associating with you, mortals are debased and punished by the Messenger of Death in so many ways.

ਦੀਨ ਦੁਖ ਭੰਜਨ ਦਯਾਲ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਸਰਬ ਜੀਅ ਰਖੵਾ ਕਰੋਤਿ ॥੪੭॥
