The desire to meet Vaheguru awakens only when one feels the pain of separation. In the month of Assu, Guru Sahib addresses those whose desire to meet Vaheguru has awakened.

Most importantly, Guru Sahib tells us how to recognise the signs of someone who has fallen in love with Vaheguru and has ultimately become one with Them. This is the month for us to reflect and see where we are on the path to meeting Vaheguru Ji.

What is Karam/Karma? Is there any point in trying to do something if everything is already predetermined? Watch this video and listen to how the Guru helps us understand how karma works.

If we focus on the Guru and remember Them in everything we do, the Karam that we come with can be washed away instantly. The problem we have is that we become attached to the world's pleasures.
