What it takes to do anything in life is so intricately and beautifully designed by the One. When we surrender in awe to that divine system, we begin to step out of our ego — and into the experience of Vaheguru. This episode explores the subtle, often confusing question: When should we speak, and when should we stay silent? It’s not as simple as it seems. And if you’re struggling with something in life — ask yourself: How badly do you want to change? From 49 minutes onwards, we go into powerful steps on what to do, taking support from the shabad Keeta Lorreeai Kam.

It's tempting to imitate a devotee or someone who inspires you and think it might help you get closer to what they experience. Guru Nanak Dev Ji explains that it would be like an ant attempting to copy a bird flying high in the sky! Basically, don't do it! Instead, climb the steps down to humility in praise of that One who is forgiving, nurturing, loving, sustaining and an infinite amount of qualities and attributes this caption cannot begin to express. In that deep state of loving devotion, Guru Nanak Dev Ji shows us how to go truly mad in love with Vaheguru!

#Spirituality #Sikhi #Creation

Guru Nanak Dev Ji reveals the profound truth that the entire creation has been perfectly designed by the One — nothing is lacking. The creation is watched and sustained by the Creator, and we have the opportunity to connect and experience that divine reality. In doing so, we come to realise that we are more than just our bodies — we are the primal soul, part of the eternal truth, already complete.

#Spirituality #Sikhi #Creation

What really existed before time, space, and form? What was Vaheguru doing before creation? In this Japji Sahib podcast episode, Bhai Baljit Singh explores the 30th pauri of Japji Sahib “Eka Maaee” and dives deep into questions that have puzzled seekers for generations.

🌌 Discover the three modes of creation and how to avoid getting trapped in them.

🌅 Learn a practical tool from Gurbani - Jaago — to wake up from the illusion.

✨ Journey beyond creation itself — into Sun Samaadh, the state of total stillness and divine experience.

This episode is a deep spiritual reflection on transcending Maya and reconnecting with the ultimate truth. Many say “there was nothing before creation,” but Gurmat reveals that beyond time is the most real experience a soul can have.

🔊 A must-watch for anyone serious about understanding their soul, and connecting with the essence of Japji Sahib.

This pauri from Japji Sahib emphasises the importance of spiritual wisdom as true nourishment. The primal sound, the divine vibration is at the heart of all creation, calling us to connect with it. The One as the supreme creator binds all of creation. Can we realise that we are all the same and rise above discrimination?

The knowing and experience that you're internally complete is what it means to live in contentment. Waiting to feel fulfilled from an external factor is one of the biggest mistakes we can make in life. Bhai Baljit Singh shares the beautiful sakhi of Guru Arjan Dev Ji, who alongside Mata Ganga Ji, dressed down appearing to be regular villagers to selflessly serve the Kabul sangat who travelled hundreds of miles to have the darshan (vision) of Guru Arjan Dev Ji. The powerful sevas that Guru Ji tells the Sikh to do has the ability to transform us if we do it with devotion. In this Pauri, contrasting to the yogi tradition, we learn about what the Sikh does to keep remember the One and the impermanence of life, and what it means to conquer the world.

#Spirituality #Breath #Stillness

Allow stories to be a powerful and impactful mode to teach use every day life lessons. In this instance, Guru Angad Dev Ji perfectly allows us to witness how they remained in the priceless essence of love instead of allowing the ego mind to take over in response to somebody else's frustration and anger.

In this pauri (stanza), Guru Nanak Dev Ji share their wisdom to such an extent that we lose ourself in the repetitive reciting of praising how priceless the One is. This repetition turns into true remembrance and through that we fall into that priceless love. Imagine Guru Nanak takes your hand and allows you to see how priceless that One is.

Sometimes we get afraid of pain but it's a calling for us to do something! When the suffering is mental/emotional, it's a calling for us return to the One. This powerful episode is filled with gems of wisdom, as Bhai Baljit Singh & Bhai Jagmeet Singh discuss how by taking strength from Gurbani and the Shaheeds, what practical steps we can take when we feel defeated. There's an abundance of gifts in our life, and by opening our eyes to them, we can transform our mindset to gratitude and appreciation for the One who is the giver; if we live in this praise of the One, we can be on top of the world!

It’s all about re-finding it - remembering that you are bliss. Our question should be simple - what are we doing to block it? Or, what do we need to do that helps to unblock whatever it is that we can’t identify to allow us to be there in that place? Then do it!

Bhai Baljit Singh and Daraspreet Kaur have a beautiful discussion about looking at the every day elements of life and living in awe - this is the true miracle of life. Listen to the beautiful true story Bhai Jetha Ji and the mango and many more discussions about expressing gratitude and presence to draw yourself closer to the One.
