Living in His Will The Good, the Bad and the Ugly One of the easiest things to say is that we should live in His will but it is one of the hardest things to do. And it is not until we actually live in His will during a difficult period in life, do we realize what it truly means to live in His will. In my life and the life of dear ones, I have seen when living in His will was good, bad and neby HarminderKaur - Gurmat Discussion Forum

It is easy to say how can someone tell him that rehat is more important than health but have you forgotten all the Sikhs that gave their lifes for Sikhi and following rehat. Isn't rehat more important than life, also? were all those people fools?by HarminderKaur - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh! I was recently in Canada and this was my experience. The first day only the people that knew me said fateh but the next day when I was dressed in very pretty suit and stuck out, everyone made eye contact and said Fateh! I always have more people say Fateh to me when I am dressed up more then normal. In fact more people try to hold a conversation witby HarminderKaur - Gurmat Discussion Forum

I Am Not Your Son I am much more…. Society has planted this idea in our heads that somehow to be a good daughter you have to step into the shoes of the son. Every time I do anything to make you proud, you use words of endearment meant for a son. It is always that’s my ‘beta’, never my ‘beti’.

At the age of 12, Guru Nanak Dev Ji taught the world what the true bargain is by feeding the saints and the poor without wanting anything in return. When Guru Ji’s father sent him to do some business, Guru Ji ran into some saints that had been hungry for days and he spent the money on feeding and clothing them. Upon returning from feeding the Saints, Guru Ji’s father asked him about what busiby HarminderKaur - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Part 2- The colors of the rainbow Just like a rainbow is incomplete without all the beautiful colors, a religion is incomplete without God’s children from all types of backgrounds. But what happens when we can’t see or appreciate all of God’s children? It means we have to go through rebirth, until we are able to see Waheguru Ji in all.

The moment you tie the turban, you make a silent promise to Waheguru Ji to uphold the honor of all Sikhs. You have to become a role model for all, so no one can say anything bad about Guru Ji’s Sikhs. A couple months back I had gone to the Gurudwara Sahib in a rush and then regretted it, wishing I had taken a bit more time to dress better.

Guru Ka Langar Optional or Required A family that eats together stays together. Then why the religion that is based on equality and brotherhood, is having more and more people shy away from eating together? It used to be that when a person went to meet Guru Ji, they would first sit together and eat langar. Then it became you first meet Guru Ji and then everyone would sit together and eat.

Bhena Ji, Your words shocked me because just a little while ago while I was at work, I began to pen down the words for the next installment. I had no plans to write the next installment and wrote like 4 different things before I began it but suddenly Waheguru Ji commanded me to begin the next one by planting the words in my head. Reading your words I can see why He wanted me to write them.by HarminderKaur - Gurmat Discussion Forum

From Kaur to Princess Becoming True to Ones Name It is easy to brag about how our last name means princess but it is very hard to become that princess. All my life, I have explained to people what Kaur means but I never understood myself. Does a girl become a princess by perfectly styled hair, jewelry, make up, dress and an attitude to match? Or does a girl become a princess by her actions?by HarminderKaur - Gurmat Discussion Forum
