Game of love 46- PARENTS

PARENTS

"O son, why do you argue with your father? It is a sin to argue with those who nurtured and raised you."

Guru Ramdas Ji 1534-1581

In this day and age, it has become the norm to disrespect our elders and get away with it. 

We have started to think, they should do as we say and not the other way round. Parents also have adopted this philosophy, and have started to let children get away with disrespecting them. 

Equality has hit another level, we want to be equals with everyone and everything they do. 

When daas was growing up, whatever the parents said was final, no questions asked. In this way love and respect stayed intact. 

We have forgotten about what our parents have done for us, they brought us in to this world, nurtured us, clothed us, educated us, fed us. The question is, what haven't they done for us. 

In reality, we can not pay our parents back for what they have done for us. Without them, we wouldn't have been who we are today. 

Please remember this the next time we have a petty falling out with our parents. 

Guru sahib ji has given parents the respect of god, they gave us our first teachings. Let's remember all the good they have done for us and guaranteed we would never upset them again. Their short falls come no where near. 

Ego and anger is only controlled through meditation, which creates a balance within. 

"The name of The Lord is the medicine; it is like an axe, which destroys the diseases caused by anger and egotism." Guru ArjunDev Ji

Unconditional love is the only substance we can repay our parents with.

Vaheguroo! 

Game of love 45- FIRST SERMON

FIRST SERMON

"O Guru Amardas Ji, your glorious virtues are so sublime; your praises belong only to you."

Bhatt Bal Ji ang 1396.

Sree Guru Amar Das Jee’s First Sermon

When Sree Guru Amar Das jee became Guru, historians have recorded his first words to the Sangat:

“If someone treats you badly, bear it. If you bear it three times, the fourth time Vaheguroo will be on your side. The aggressor will be given such a punishment that he will not be able to save himself regardless of all his efforts. Vaheguroos grindstone (of justice) may turn very slowly, but the grain is ground very finely (the justice is perfect).”

Then Guru jee read the 21st PauRee of Sree Asa Kee Vaar “Jit saeviai sukh paeeai so sahib sadaa samaaleeaai…”

He then continued,

“Be kind to everyone. Having pride over anything is not noble.

Consider the company (immoral relations) with another woman/man to be like the company of a snake or a murderous elephant. Never even by mistake go into bad Sangat (company).

Humility is the greatest weapon. Never speak badly.

Those who praise themselves are always lost. The path of dharma is the abandoning of slander (ninda).

Don’t spend or eat more than you need to. Also work just as much as you need to. Don’t do anything above and beyond the need for it.

Leave behind fakeness and hypocrisy. A life of false show is always a painful one.

If someone is a Sikh of the Guru, listen and obey him.

Loving another woman/man, even if he/she is a devotee of God (bhagtaNee) is a relationship which will result in loss not gain.

Go to and meet the Shabad of the Guru. Do not go somewhere where the Guru is forgotten.

Eat when you are hungry. Don’t fill what is already filled. But don’t abandon food either. Sleep when you feel very sleepy. Don’t sleep without feeling tired. Don’t pain your body.

Listen to the stories of the Guru. Sing Shabads and listen too. Don’t’ speak falsehood.

If someone is forgetting about the Guru, try and remind them. Speak to them from the heart. If they don’t listen, then it’s up to them.

Take the Guru’s words to heart. Give (the Guru) at least a tenth of your earnings. Keep the company of good people and serve those you encounter.

Before putting anything in your mouth, say Vaheguroo. Vaheguroo will bless it.
Those who have day and night japped Vaheguroo, and left their ego, they are the truly high and good ones.

Controlling one’s desires is Dharam. One who does this is jeevan mukath (liberated while alive).

One who is a beloved of God cannot ever remain bound by any restraints. He is free. He is above all tradition, custom, fortune, luck, and delusion.

Vaheguroo! 

Game of love 44- GURU

GURU 

"Leaving a side the philosophers stone in the form of the True Guru, people go on searching the materialistic philosophers stone."

Bhai Gurdaas Ji 1551-1636

A young child went to a Gursikh and stated that no matter how hard he tried to keep Gurbani in his heart, he just could not understand or keep it. He stated that his mind was not a bucket, but a strainer which let everything pass through and did not contain the meaning of Gurbani.

The Gursikh said "Let us try an experiment. Here is a strainer, and here is some water. Now pour a bucket of water through the strainer." The child did this and said "See, the water was not contained, it just passed through. My mind is just like this." The Gursikh said "Do it once more," so he did, and still the water passed through the strainer. The Gursikh said "Do it ten times at least." The child did, and at the end of this experiment he said "See, water still passes through, no matter how many times and how many buckets we pass through it." The gursikh said "Look carefully at the strainer and see if there is any thing different." The child did, and his eyes were fillled with tears, and he said "Yes I see the difference now. The grimy dirty strainer is now shiny and bright, like never before."

The Gursikh said "My son, this is what Gurbani does for you. It cleans your mind, and even if you do not realise it, it slowly cleanses your mind and protects you from the five vices. The more you recite Gurbani, your mind will not only become shinier, but become like the bucket itself, which will not only become clean but hold the meaning of Gurbani in your heart." The child smiled and felt he had received the best example of the power of Gurbani ever.

Gurbani is that detergent that cleanses the mind of its dirt. The more we rub our mind with Gurbani the cleaner it will get. Dhur kee baani is full of amrit. Whoever utters baani of Satguru literally drinks Amrit. 

"Gurbaani is the light to illuminate this world; by his grace, it comes to abide within the mind." Guru Amardas Ji. 

Vaheguroo!

Game of love 42- ONE BREATH

ONE BREATH

"There is only one breath, we are all made from the same clay."

Guru Ram Das Ji 1534-1581

We all breathe the same air. We share this planet. We are all made from the same elements. Remember this when your mind begins to differentiate between people. We are all made from 5 elements of earth, water, air, fire and ether (sound). 

This clay is created by the one but has been painted in many different forms, says Bhagat Kabir Ji. They say, as you see yourself, see others. Only in this way shall your soul be saved. 

This clay will be destroyed in the end,  yet the soul will continue its journey. 

So why waste time. Remember God and end the souls yearning. Go and meet with those who yearn for spiritual fulfilment and are content within. It's the only place we will experience true love. 

The world is false, most are out for themselves. The spiritually uplifted are only out to conquer their mind, free their soul and encourage others to do the same. 

"Servant Nanak begs for the dust of the feet of those Sikhs, who chant the naam and inspire others to chant it."

"Adopt such a guru so you don't have to adopt another again. Dwell in such a state, that you shall never have to dwell in any other again. Embrace such a meditation, so you don't have to embrace any other again. Die in such away, that you never have to die again." Bhagat Kabir Ji

Vaheguroo! 

Game of love 41- MIND

MIND

"Win over your mind, and you shall win over the world."

Guru Nanak Dev Ji 1469-1539

At times our mind can be our worst enemy. If you can control the pressures of the mind, then the outside world will become more manageable. 

The mind has always been connected to god from the beginning. Over many life times this mind has been blackened with negative thoughts and pressures. The mind has a tendency of living in the past or future through the thoughts of our inner voice always speaking to us. Our mind is blackened further through the negative we speak, see, eat and hear. 

The mind has forgotten the name of god, only through the meditation on naam can this mind discover it's true identity (god). The naam (vaheguroo) is the soap in which cleanses the mind in becoming pure again. Our senses should be controlled by naam. Sing gods praises, hear gods praise, see god in all and speak about the love and qualities of god. 

"Oh my mind you are the embodiment of the divine light, recognise your own origin." Guru Amardas Ji. 

Each thought is cleared when replaced by the name vaheguroo, the more we meditate, the more thoughts are cleared and the mind cleansed.  We begin to live in the present which is living in the acceptance of gods will. Eventually we reach the state of Sehj (true peace). 

All our worldly affairs are dealt with by god themselves. 

"The pursuit of worldly affairs comes to an end, when you embrace love for the true one." Guru Amardas Ji, 

Every human being has the potential of becoming a spiritually pure Human being but we lack faith in god and ourselves. 

When we become pure beings and reunite our souls with god whilst alive, then the world will feel our radiance of pure love through our divine aura and energy. 

Vaheguroo! 

Game of love 40- MARRIAGE

MARRIAGE

"They are not said to be husband and wife, who merely sit together. They alone are called husband and wife, who have one light in two bodies."

Guru AmarDas Ji 1479-1574

Marriage is not a mere contract between two people but a meeting of two souls. True marriage lies in the harmony of the couples physical and spiritual worlds. 

How do we make our marriage work? Every relationship has it's ups and downs, this should make it stronger if we remain positive and have faith in the divine. We need to learn from our mistakes and strengthen through experiencing them. Every action we face should be observed and a lesson learnt. 

In today's day and age, our egos clash, we fail to give in to one another, which leads to separation. If we are humble and calmed situations down then spoke with a calm head later, more relationships would be saved. 

We spend more time on our smart phones and tangled in work pressures, less time speaking to our partners and children. 

Marriage is a union of two souls,  which is for life. In the teachings of Gurmat (gurus way), separation is a NO NO, as we have made a combined promise to Guru ji. We will remain together until death, with the sangat (congregation) as our witness. 

We CAN NOT turn our back on Guru Ji!

Patience is the key and it only comes through purifying the mind through meditation. 

"Without patience and forgiveness, countless hundreds and thousands have perished." Guru Nanak Dev Ji.

Vaheguroo! 

Game of love 39- LIVING

LIVING

"Truth his high, higher still is truthful living."

Guru Nanak Dev Ji 1469-1539

Live the truth. The highest state of spirituality is only accessed once so begin to live your own life truthfully. 

It's important we are always honest, speak, think and act upon the truth, we will be respected and loved more for this. Whilst speaking the truth our actions become righteous. We will see god in all and act against any form of oppression and falseness. 

The reason a spiritual being does this is, they see god in all and find it difficult to turn their face away from the truth, as this would kill their consciousness and they would struggle to love god the same after being ignorant. 

A great example of the above is, when The 9th Guru of the Sikhs gave his head to save the Hindu faith from conversion.

Do we live a truthful and spiritual life, or are we dishonest when it suits our needs? Every action and thought is accounted for. 

Vaheguroo! 

Game of love 38- LOTUS HEART

LOTUS HEART

"When the intellect achieves spiritual wisdom, the lotus heart blossoms fourth."

Guru AmarDas Ji 1479-1574

Spiritual wisdom is the most Important thing to gain. This is the only wisdom that can answer the issues of the heart. Once you begin to develop an understanding of the spiritual you, then your heart will begin to blossom like a lotus, opening and leading you to new horizons. 

Like water in the desert, is spiritual wisdom to the soul, it only comes through meditation. 

A lotus flower is a beautiful flower which blossoms in dirty water. In the same way, you should stand out above the rest in this filth filled world. 

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. 

Vaheguroo! 

Game of love 37- LIGHT IN ALL

LIGHT IN ALL

"Forget caste, recognise the one light in all."

Guru Nanak Dev Ji 1469-1539

Divisions are man made. Do not waste time believing in any ideals that promote differentiation between people. We are all human beings with the same universal divine light illuminating our souls. 

It's our duty to see god in all, yogi harbhajan once said, "if you can't see god in all, you can't see god at all." We are not pure beings until we see god in every soul and will not be liberated. 

There is only one way to see god in all and that is to meditate with every breathe. In this way our mind becomes pure and our inner eyes feel and see the love in all. 

"No one is my enemy and no one is a stranger. I love and get along with everyone." Guru Arjun Dev Ji

Let's take a look within ourselves, how far away are we from the teachings above? Are we really living the spiritual teachings of Guru Ji? 

Vaheguroo!

Game of love 36- KEEP GOING

KEEP GOING

People are unreasonable and self centred. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people cheat you. Be honest anyway.
The good you do today, may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may not be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

"Filled with all virtues and spiritual wisdom, I have become pleasing to god, nothing else matters." 

Guru ArjunDev Ji

The world will always judge us, we have to learn to ignore people and keep going. They will only drag us back. 

Vaheguroo! 

Game of love 35- SOUL

SOUL

There was a man with four wives. He loved his fourth wife the most and took

a great care of her and gave her the best. He also loved his third wife
and always wanted to show her off to his friends. However, he was always
had a fear that she might runaway with some other man. He loved his second
wife too. Whenever he faced some problems, he always turned to his second
wife and she would always help him out. He did not love his first wife
though she loved him deeply, was very loyal to him and took great care of
him. One day the man fell very ill and knew that he is going to die soon.
He told himself, "I have four wives with me. I will take one of them along
with me when I die to keep company in my death."
Thus, he asked the fourth wife to die along with him and keep company. "No
way!" she replied and walked away without another word.
He asked his third wife.She said "Life is so good over here. I'm going to
remarry when you die".
He then asked his second wife. She said "I'm Sorry. I can't help you this
time around. At the most I can only accompany you til your grave."
By now his heart sank and turned cold.
Then a voice called out: "I'll leave with you. I'll follow you no matter
where you go." the man looked up and there was his first wife. She was so
skinny, almost like she suffered from malnutrition. Greatly grieved, the
man said, "I should have taken much better care of you while I could have!"

Actually, we all have four wives in our lives.

a. The fourth wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we
lavish in making it look good, it'll leave us when we die.

b. The third wife is our possessions, status and wealth. When we die, they
go to others.

c. the second wife is our family and friends. No matter how close they
had been there for us when we're alive, the furthest they can stay by us is
up to the grave.

d. the first wife is our soul, neglected in our pursuit of material
wealth and pleasure. It is actually the only thing that follows us wherever we go.

Please Take Care of your SOUL, it needs the food of meditation. 

"Oh my soul, as Gurmukh, do this deed; Chant the naam, the name of god (vaheguroo)." Guru Ramdas Ji. 

Game of love 34- KNOWLEDGE

KNOWLEDGE

"Knowledge grows in the seeker, it's light fades in those who argue."

Guru Nanak Dev Ji 1469-1539

Arguing prevents you from learning. Discussion and openness allows you to develop as a person. Arguing your point across to others means you never learn anything yourself. If you seek new ideas and thoughts then your knowledge will grow.

When we meditate on Vaheguroos name, it causes us to become open minded, we become very quite and focussed and naturally become great listeners. Through listening we learn more and gain knowledge. Most people in this world like speaking and struggle to listen. This causes us too learn less, become closed minded and accept less, which makes us more egotistical rather than humble.

The true wisdom that Guru ji speaks about, is spiritual wisdom and divine knowledge. This is gained through the spiritual teachings of Guru Granth Sahib Ji and meditation on Gods (vaheguroo) name. 

When we meditate, we conquer our mind and thoughts and gain the knowledge/wisdom of god (brahamgyan). This is when we are blessed with the universes knowledge and wisdom, just like god.  Guru Sahib himself holds our hand, becomes our support and guides us spiritually through this terrifying earthly life ocean, through their divine teachings.

Every human being has the potential of gaining this spiritual wealth. It's condition is, we need to beg for naam (gods name) through the Amrit Sanchaar Ceremony. This is when we become khalsa (pure) and are gifted with naam meditation and rehit (code of conduct).

"Wisdom, honor and wealth are in the laps of those whose hearts remain permeated with gods (vaheguroo) name."

Guru Nanak Dev Ji. 

Vaheguroo! 

Game of love 33- 24/7

24/7

"The true capital and the true way of life, come by chanting his glories, twenty four hours a day."

Guru Arjun Dev Ji 1563-1606

In our last post, we mentioned how the naam should stay in our every breath, whilst facing the distractions of laughing, playing, dressing and eating. 

It seems quite hard to meditate 24/7. According to Guru sahib it is quite easy, It's just that we are lazy. 

When the naam becomes a beautiful ras (taste) in our heart, mind and soul it's very difficult to let go. One would rather die than loose it. It begins to jap (meditate) itself by connecting to our mind and breath. How is this possible?

The key to the days meditation is, when we wake up at Amritvela (ambrosial hours) and meditate for a couple of hours, as this is when single minded meditation can be achieved without any distraction (pure focus). After this the naam will come back to us in glimpses throughout the day. We need to make every effort to hear the naam with our inner ears more frequently. 

A few ways to do it! Whilst eating we can crunch and repeat vahi-guroo after each crunch. Whilst walking we can repeat vahi-guroo after each step. Whilst brushing our teeth, vahi-guroo for up and down. So basically every chore we do, we should try to form a pattern of vaheguroo simran (remembrance), in our day to day lives. 

Once we form this pattern, the mantra will become one with our every breath, mind, body and soul and we will start to experience the ras we talked about. 

After a lot of abhiyaas (practice) and blessing, the name will begin to recite itself in ras and we will have to hear it with our inner ears. The more we try to focus and concentrate the more ras we get. 

In some day to day chores like studying, work etc, we might not be able to fully focus but we should try to listen where we can, as naam will subconsciously be there. 

It is the command of Guru sahib ji and it is the only way we will find total peace, poise and tranquility (Sehj), when our mind is controlled by vaheguroo with every breath. 

From here we gain all the attributes of  god, they build in our character and Guru sahib ji blesses us with his divine wisdom and many states of spirituality, Including the tenth gate opening and access to the spirit world. 

It's best to just love god, remain humble and accept the gifts/states guru sahib gives us, as many can get trapped in occult powers (ridh sidh), forget the naam and loose the life's battle through ego.

Note! To receive the full benefit of naam meditation, one must beg for it at an Amrit Sanchaar. Any sikh will tell you what this is. 

We have to become khalsa (pure) to want khalsa raj (rule of the pure). The above is what every khalsa should be like, or aspire to be. We have to conquer our mind in order to conquer the world. 

Vaheguroo! 

Game of love 32- LAUGHING

LAUGHING

"While laughing, playing, dressing and eating, he is liberated."

Guru Arjun Dev Ji 1563-1606

Guru sahib says, we can be liberated whilst laughing, playing, dressing up and eating delicious foods. 

How is this possible? As these can be massive distractions in our spiritual gain.

It's important our mind and breath are not seperated from the naam. When the naam is within and heard24/7 with our inner ears, this is a blessing by Guru ji and everything we do is parvaan (accepted) and blessed according to gurmat (gurus way). 

We can have a laugh yet remember god with every breath. We can own the best cars, houses and clothes etc, yet be detached, as the name in our every breath detaches us. Nothing is ours, It's all Guru Jis. The remembrance of the name teaches us to think in this way with every breath (divine wisdom). Everything we eat will be purified through every breath of naam meditation (no meat, fish and egg). There are different forms of personal rehit, bibek for gursikhs. Every gursikh has their own personal asool (rule). 

The above is a blessed and higher state of consciousnes, it's best to live a simple life, away from any distractions, in order to progress further spiritually. Guru sahib will bless us with their wisdom when we are ready to progress. It is all achieved through single minded practice of naam meditation. 

Guru sahib ji caters for all states of mind in Gurbaani, as they want all to excel further and they also answer the questions of all.

"Receiving the name (vaheguroo), the mind is satisfied; without the naam, life is cursed." Guru RamDas Ji

Vaheguroo! 

Game of love 31- MANTRA

MANTRA

"While walking, sitting, sleeping and awake, contemplate the Gurmantra within your heart."

Guru Arjun Dev Ji 1563-1606

Guru sahib makes it clear in Gurbani (sikh holy scriptures), we have to meditate with every breath in order to find peace, bliss and a balanced tranquil mind. By meditating 24/7 with every breath we find the state of Sehj (peace poise). This is the highest state of love. One is not phased by anything in this state. All emotions, thoughts and the minds desires are fully controlled by the shabad (word mantra) Vaheguroo. 

We should not miss even a breath of naam meditation, as Guru sahib ji says, it is a breath wasted in evil thought.

Another reason why Guru ji tells us not to forget the naam with any breath is, when we breathe our last, if we have not remembered vaheguroo (god) throughout our jivan (life), it will become very difficult to remember them in the last breath. This will most likely result in us remembering our attachments, which will result in our souls next life form. 

Guru sahib ji says, if we remember god in our last breath, our soul will merge in the heart of the supreme soul (god) and we will fulfil the purpose of this human life. 

Keep the company of those, who love to meditate by loving god, and those who relish the love of Vaheguroos creation with every breath. 

The blessed souls experience the ras (love) of naam. It's an ecstasy that can not be matched and one would rather die, than live without the ras of Vaheguroo. 

"Without meditation on your name my life does not even exist" 

Guru Ramdas Ji

Bhai Rama Singh Ji was a blessed and very loving soul. He would fall deep in to meditation whenever he found the opportunity. He would say, always love those more without a faith, as they need it more. His eyes were of a truly innocent child's, looking in to them would be like looking in to a piece of glass. He was born in a Hindu family and adopted Sikhi after meeting the 10th Sikh Guru through spirit. He was the living example of a human being always imbued in the taste of meditation. Bhai Sahibs body left this earth around 10 years ago, he may have left but his aura, love and energy is still felt today.

Vaheguroo! 

Game of love 30- JEWEL

JEWEL

"Deep within the nucleus of the self is the jewel."

Guru Amardas Ji 1479-1574

The treasure we look for outside is within ourselves. You are precious. Realise your wealth and enjoy the depth of your own spirituality. You only need to meditate on the pure love that is within you to begin to realise what the jewel is. 

The Jewel is our soul (vaheguroo, god) and it is realised from within through amrit naam (vaheguroo mantra).

Naam is given to us by panj pyaare (5 beloved ones in the presence of Guru Granth Sahib ji). We can not receive this diamond from anyone else. They teach us how to meditate and experience meditation with blessed souls, until the naam meditation is instilled within us. 

The Angelic beings, silent sages and many others search for this Amrit. Only Guru Ji can bless us with it. 

The Vaheguroo mantra is very blessed. It has been complied with the 1st letters of 4 Avtaars (pure beings) names from the 4 ages. So therefor it is the most powerful and blessed mantra to have ever existed, given to us by Guru Nanak Dev Ji. 

We don't realise how blessed we are to be Sikhs! Why are we wasting our life searching for shells, when the jewel is seated within us. 

Vaheguroo! 

Game of love 29- JEALOUSY

JEALOUSY

"I have given up jealousy, ever since I associated with the company of saints."

Guru Arjun Dev Ji 1563-1606

Jealousy can eat away at you. It is difficult not to feel jealous about another's fortune. If you feel jealousy creeping into your mind, then try to think of someone good, peaceful and content and think of how they would deal with this feeling. Be happy for the fortunes of others as your time of good fortune will eventually come. 

Jealousy has conquered many in this day and age, if not most as we always want to be better off than the next person. We want bigger and better houses, better cars, a more luxurious life style, our kids to do better than the next persons and most of all we want our functions to always stand out more than the next persons. 

All this jealousy and WANTING only piles on pressure and stress, which is a killer. We will never be happy and content and there will always be someone better off than us. 

There is only one cure, it will never diminish and always be a cut above everything else. The same one cure is repeated and mentioned in all these posts.

We are blessed to be Sikhs, we need to accept the blessed Amrit (holy nectar), keep rehit (code of conduct), remain in sangat (like minded spiritual people) and most of all find peace love and contentment through naam meditation, given to us at the Amrit Sanchaar ceremony. 

Vaheguroo!

Game of love 28- HUMILITY

HUMILITY

"The fruit of humility is intuitive peace and pleasure."

The humble character will never feel frustration. It is important to set goals in life, but these needn't be materialistic ones. Try humility for a while and see how your inner-self glows and feels free from self made pressures.

To be humble is ecstatic, this is when our state of mind is lowered, our divine wisdom excelled and our spirits uplifted.

We feel humble when we have surrendered our all to god and feel nothing else matters anymore. Through humility we can not be phased by anything, as all is god and we live in their will as being sweet. We feel as we are the dust of all (god) yet amazingly powerful through it. The humble being always remain righteous.

Constant humility in ones life is a very blessed state of mind, as it is only developed when our ego is killed through meditation.

The one who remains humble is loved  by all as they care for others more than themselves. This is witnessed by  the world through their actions and speech. 

Vaheguroo!

Game of love 27- HUMANITY

HUMANITY

"Recognise the whole human race as one."

Guru Gobind Singh Ji 1666-1708

Living in a big world, we constantly meet people from different backgrounds. With these different paths continually crossing yours, it is important to remember that we are all human beings. 

As humans we have a tendency of judging others. We judge in many ways, we judge by colour, cast, creed, gender, religion, appearance and many others ways. It's important we look at all as equal and the creation of vaheguru (god), or we will really suffer in this life and the next. When we judge others we always tend to upset many people, as most judgment is usually wrong and judged by our ego. Even if the judgement is right, it's important we let people be and experience. 

Guru sahib ji tells us, if we would like to liberate this mind and soul we have to see god in all their creation including animals, nature and anything that is designed by their creation. 

This love only comes through meditation when one becomes one with their soul and mind and finds inner peace. 

Vaheguroo!
