SORATH, FIFTH MEHL:
The Lord is always with me. The Messenger of Death does not approach me. God holds me close in His embrace, and protects me. True are the Teachings of the True Guru. 1 The Perfect Guru has done it perfectly. He has beaten and driven off my enemies, and given me, His slave, the sublime understanding of the neutral mind. 1 Pause God has blessed all places with prosperity. I have returned again safe and sound. Nanak has entered Gods Sanctuary. It has eradicated all disease. 2 24 88
Friday, 20th Katak (Samvat 538 Nanakshahi)

These beautiful words from the Guru Granth Sahib are symbolising the protective life force. As I tread through the challenges in life, I find true solace in taking his name. In aloneless, I find completeness as I am always protected by the caring divine hand that saves me from falling into fundamental darkness.
I have often drifted to find where my origin is. Looked at alternative beliefs, other practices and got more confused. Eventually I found my roots within my own religon. I am not a preacher nor do I advocate my religon but yes I do advocate the good has become my innate nature by being a true sikh- a learner.

Being married doesn't guarantee happiness in life. Remaining single is not a sign of defeat.
What matters most is living a happy and meaningful life! When that happens, being single or married is no longer an issue. Most married people are no happier than single people. Live in a way that you can be happy and completely fulfilled just the way you are. Happiness is determined by our life condition, no whether we are single or married. The important thing is to develop a life condition dedicated to your mission for being alive.
"Happiness is not something that someone else, like a lover, can give to us. We have to achieve it for ourselves. And the only way to do so is by developing our character and capacity as human beings, by fully maximizing our potential … What is important now is to work hard at developing yourselves into truly wonderful human beings … Ultimately, the relationships you form are a reflection of your own state of life."
It dawns on me that the gap between the ideal and the real me seemed to grow apart with the passing of years. How could that be? I am supposed to become more compassionate, more connected and in touch with the people around. I have been introspecting and spending time reading and being meditative.
The clarity and dynamism is spilling over into my environment. I have begun to see clearly there areas in my life that needed a breakthrough.
I am taking initiatives to reach out to people I had problems with, and resolve the grudges I had held in my heart. I am changing my attitude at work, and pray sincerely to expand my ability to make a difference.
I am seeing the results- there is a renewed energy to LIVE LIFE QUEENSIZE :))
