"Yesterday it was the 6th of August 1965, It was the 58th year for this temporary, ever-changing dukh-roop body. Now the 59th year has started. But in reality (my soul) I was not born and I will not die, and I do not have an age.

For however long  I was mistaken and believed myself to be a body and not a soul, for that time my mind suffered and was not at peace. I believed that I was once born and that I would die. But since GuruSahib has done kirpa, I have recognised my true form. I have risen above this temporary body.
For this reason, only our bodies age, not our souls.
Peace and non-peace are states of the mind. But the soul is just observing ..Just as if there are two pictures on a piece of paper; one of a standing horse and one of a running horse - the paper shows both pictures. In the same way the soul is forever achal. The soul is detached from all of this."

When we realise this, alot of things go out of the window, and life feels alot more care-free.
Its not easy of course, but I read somewhere once that 'We are not seeking a ‘better’ state. We are just coming back to our own self. That in itself is an improvement over living in confusion. All we need to concern ourselves is the return, keeping attention here and now. Everything else will come on its own"

A small clay pot lying on the earth(made from same earth) will consider itself seperate and think that it is just a pot. But when it realises its actually a part of the earth, the illusion ends. From a mere clay pot, it becomes the great the Earth.

A son sat at his father's deathbed. He asked his father for some words of wisdom before he died. The father replied, 'I have so much to say, but I do not have enough breaths to say it all in. Go to the market and buy me some breaths, just a lil more time, and I'll tell you'. The son replied, thats madness, you can't buy breaths. The father replied, 'Exactly, those are my words of wisdom'

Hopefully Gurusahib gives us the ability to use our time wisely.

Glimpse of Vaheguru

Glimpse (of Vaheguru) is a grace, that is with the guru. It is not not in our hands. We are like beggers. We should remain in prayer, we should remain in hope and we should remain in longing. Giving is in the hands of the gracious guru. We can only live in hope as beggers. A begger should not be in despair. He should not be in pride. He should not assert a right. He should not have ego. He should not think that he must get, but he should not lose faith. He should hope that sometime or the other that the grace will come, remain in hope, keep on expecting.

Equality doesn't mean men and women are the SAME, it means we're on the SAME LEVEL.

LEICESTER SIKHS PRESS UPDATE:
2011/12
Happy New Year to all!
It’s been a very busy year for us here at Leicester
Sikhs with over 6 camps this year for campers aged between 5 and 18. With the
Guru’s grace an average of 260 campers attended the camps. Thank you to all
parents/guardians and youngsters who have been supporting the Sikhi
Camps.
Following on from these camps, a regular Panjabi and
Sikh School has been established at Oadby Gurdwara. The classes have now been
running for over eight months and with the Guru’s grace, as of 21st December,
the student count is 92 with classes running daily.
Since September, we have been blessed with a number of
(youth) kirtan programs, Yoga classes, santheya classes, talks and seminars with
De Montfort University and University of Leicester Sikh Societies as well as a
regular Gatka class that takes place every Sunday evening at East Park Road
Gurdwara.
You may visit http://www.leicestersikhs.com to view
previous posters and event photos.
Some of you may be aware of the (Amrik) Rik Basra
campaign. Leicester Sikhs would like to thank you for all that supported this
campaign. With the Guru’s grace, a matching donor was found at the ‘Save a Life’
donor day at East Park Road gurdwara on 11th Dec, which was organised by the
Anthony Nolan group with the support of the sangat.
Following on from this event, the Leicester Sikh Lobby
Group (LSLG) have organised a ‘Save a Life’ campaign which will run during
Vaisakhi 2012. The launch of this blood donation campaign is taking place on
15th January 2012 at Oadby Library, led by the Mayor of Oadby and Wigston. The
event is in association with Leicestershire County Council, NHS Blood and
Transport dept., and all Leicester Gurdwara and Mandirs. Please show your
continued support for these campaigns. Event Poster can be seen in our Profile
Pictures.
Finishing off on another very high note, Leicester
Sikhs sevadars have been informed that the project for Leicester’s Sikh School
is progressing with the grace of the Satguru. Weekly meetings are held to
discuss the progress of this project. The Leicester Sikh School website is
updated regularly: http://www.leicestersikhschool.org/. We urge all friends to
visit this website and click on the ‘support’ page and fill in the online
survey’s to show your support for the Sikh school.

another and the Satguru.

projects/seva, or if you have questions about events, Sikhi, projects, getting
