In this video, Bibi Gurprit Kaur goes through how we can build a relationship with Waheguru and the type of Soul Bride we should aspire to become like.

As Sikhs, we believe that we are all Soul Brides trying to reach/be in union with the Husband Lord (The creator). In the month of Maghar, Guru Ji uses the Bani of Barah Maha to explain the traits of a Soul Bride.

00:28 The beauty of those closest to the Guru
01:58 How can their glory be measured?
05:28 What are their qualities?
07:31 The darkness of being alone
11:50 The pain of being alone
12:46 Look at those who are in love
13:44 Adorn yourself with the name of God
15:48 The sanctity of Charan Dhoor
20:03 Liberated from reincarnation
20:31 This months lesson

Barah Maha is a Bani composed by the fifth Sikh Guru, Guru Arjan Dev Ji. This Bani is commonly recited at the beginning of each month of the Sikh calendar, also known as Sangrand. Each month has a specific message relevant to that particular time of year. Join us as we learn about 'Barah Maha' - the Twelve Months.

What does ik oankar mean? A loose translation of this term is there is one God, but the true meanings of the first word in Guru Granth Sahib Ji can actually allow us to reach our true potential.

Ik Oankar, also known as the Beej Mantar (Seed Mantra), contains the knowledge of the whole universe. It will allow us to recognise ourselves.

How can we stop hating someone? Hatred is a strong emotion that can cause more upset to us than anyone else, but how do we overcome this emotion? Bhai Baljit Singh Ji delves into the Mool Mantar, looking at the word Nirvair (without hate), and explains how this is a quality we can also adopt.

This video has some real-life examples of how we can live a life without having hatred for anyone or anything.

Whilst we are identified with the body, we are bound to the concept of time. Guru Nanak Dev Ji tells us the creator of time is timeless. Contemplating on the timeless can start our journey from being in the boundaries of time to becoming boundless which is timeless.

One simple way to start experiencing a glimpse of the timeless is to practise forgiveness. This can allow us to experience the presence of Vaheguru Ji (God). The body goes through stages of age which is bound to time. We can learn this through the Salok M9 video:

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.

When we open our hearts to receive the Guru's wisdom, we are receiving the Guru's grace in that moment. That grace allows us to start seeing what is the truth and what is false. That wisdom then takes us to a place of yearning to want to experience that Truth and that yearning is what then positions us to receive Vaheguru Ji's (God's) grace. Only through the grace of the One can we experience and realise the One.

Knowing about the creation or improving the external quality of our life won't take us into a state of joy. In the state of awe, surrender and gratitude will take us to our true home.

The mind constantly keeps falling into the trap thinking it needs to know the absolute limit and end to everything and figure everything out. That's okay but it can think that once it's figured it out how this works, how that works, it's going to feel complete and satisfied and at some points it's going to come to a stop. That's an illusion because you'll never reach that place discovering more about the creation. Instead you'll find yourself in a rut of chasing pleasure.

Guru Nanak Dev Ji says something very simple - sometimes hearing something so simple can make you think - is that it? Guru Ji says take a moment to just say, 'wow' to how great You are, and realise that in that moment of 'wow', you are complete.

Allow stories to be a powerful and impactful mode to teach use every day life lessons. In this instance, Guru Angad Dev Ji perfectly allows us to witness how they remained in the priceless essence of love instead of allowing the ego mind to take over in response to somebody else's frustration and anger. 

In this pauri (stanza), Guru Nanak Dev Ji share their wisdom to such an extent that we lose ourself in the repetitive reciting of praising how priceless the One is. This repetition turns into true remembrance and through that we fall into that priceless love. Imagine Guru Nanak takes your hand and allows you to see how priceless that One is.
