First step will be AMRIT and getting NAAM. Second will be to preserve NAAM. SAAS GRAAAS means with each breath, as we breath so easily, so we remember NAAM so easily. With little of extra effort. WE as human, are prone to lose. Nothing succeeds except begging it. The begging itself is important. Begging is easy. Yet we fail in begging too.

ਸੰਤੀ could be interpreted as FIVE SINGHS here. And that solves the puzzle.by MB Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
What I am asking is, is the internal peace from naam simran a stilness, or is it an excitement? This is the question, Veer Ji has asked. That is so important a question, for all of us. Stillness or excitement.? I will suggest Veer Ji to read Bhai Sahib Randhir Singh Ji book, Jail Chithian, at chapter NAAM DEE PRAPTEE. As suggested above, it should surely not be dullness. But I think, most of tby MB Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

As leafy bhein ji puts it, It is as per HIS WILL. -----------So we get into ANAND KARAJ and then live happy/unhappy and then get separated if unhappy as per HIS WILL.---------- This is the answer to every issue we face. Is not it? A general way to console ourselves. Let us agree to it for a while. What about GURMAT way? Are not we bound to sustain ANAND KARAJ at all possible cost/sacrifice.by MB Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Getting married and having children is another remedy for isolation. Every body marries in general. Our life partners are made for that purpose. ----------------------------JEEVAN SATHI.by MB Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
In Gursikh marriages, it is painful if one of the partners, blaims the other of being lesser on GURMAT. And thus wants to break up. This issue needs to be addressed.by MB Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Isolation is natural for the seekers of spirituality. But, we as a sikh have the responsibilities of walking with the society. They need us. We need them too as they are our fellow beings. They can inspire us on SIKHI path, in many ways. Learn from their experiences. Feel lucky. But, do not let them influence your state of mind. Keep GURBANI in heart and meet every body cheerfully.

Gurbani makes one Gursikh. Gurbani is GURU. And we the SIKHS. More we read it, more we have the company of like minded people, more we enjoy GURSIKH life style. Gurbani satisfyies our PYAR DEE BHUKH. No body else can satisfy rather. Hiding our spiritual tendencies is desired. You did it right. Join THE PATH. Make the JUMP. Meet the GURU. Forget the past.by MB Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

The simple argument could be that SOLAR is popular, so we should also go with the crowd. Arguments like "no Gurpurab in one year/two in other" and "BARAMAH will be irrelevant after so many years" and "This is Hindu stuff" and creating "hatred" towards lunar system was undesired and given to sensitize the situation.by MB Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
When initially Purewal Ji, brought his calendar, he presented this argument as if he has explored new planet. KADDU WICH TEER MARNA like situation.by MB Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Veer Inder Singh rightly points out the error of superimposing two calenders. We have to leave one (or accept both dates). Either it should be lunar or solar. If one is attached with what our ancestors did or Guru Sahib Himself did, we will go for those lunar dates.

But for Gurbani, in this world, I feel active minds are likely to fall in Atheism. There is so much irreligious in most religions that people feel honest to be an Atheist.by MB Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Here is something related to this problem, with google. In an apartment. If you live next to someone who smokes and are worried about the health risks, try speaking to him or her and working out a peaceful solution. If your apartment building has a nonsmoking policy, ask that your landlord enforce it rigidly.

Indian Calendar - An Introduction The Western calendar is based on the sun, in which a year is the time required for the earth to complete one orbit around the sun. This precisely measures 365 days 5 hours 48 minutes and 46 seconds. The Indian calender is ingeniously based on both the sun and the moon; it uses a solar year but divides it into 12 lunar months. A lunar month is precisely 29by MB Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
The first day after Puniya (Poornmashi or full moon) begins the month and is called Ekam Vadi till the Chaudas Vadi after which there is no moon (Masiya or Amavasiya).
