The illusion of desire keeps us thinking that bliss is one step away. Guru Nanak Dev Ji reminds us that in the same way that rivers and streams travel towards the ocean, we too can go back into that ocean of bliss in this very moment internally, even whilst we're doing our day to day tasks. Even if you've got an abundance of wealth, if you are not …

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…

When we're repeating actions again and again, it's forming a part of our subconscious mind. Living unconsciously means to live out of those patterns, regardless of whether they are good or bad.

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.

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.

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?

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/tyNp7RQAYt4 To walk on the path of devotion, we have to be willing to place our ego before the Guru.

The Guru is taking us back to our …

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/mXlKS384I-w 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 …

Why is it that two different people could be doing the exact same outward action and reach a completely different spiritual state?

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).

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…

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 someon…

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 h…

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?'

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 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.
