Today we are in the 4th age of time. The age of spiritual darkness. Kalyug. They say in the first age and the second age many thousands of years ago you would need to dedicate more of your life to remembering and meditating on gods name. Since in those days god was known by the majority to be true. But today in the age of spiritual darkness where majority are not spirituality aware even a second of true remembrance of god is enough. Since the temptation in this dark age is at an all time high & majority are blind to the fact that the creator is within us and around us at all times. To meditate on his name to say it out loud over and over with a clear mind (naam simran) Is a way to experience your creator, he is the creation and everything that is. He is in all atoms he is ever present.
To sit with a clear mind with not a thought in it and chant the name may it be waheguru waheguru Allah Allah ram ram however you recognize his name. The names are infinite. To connect with the energy that is god, that same energy is in everything around us today. It Is a feeling like no other. A true bliss. Experience the creator while being alive. The ultimate goal to escape this age of spiritual darkness.
Sikhi is about connecting to god and conquering the 5 thieves. That’s what the basics of the Guru Granth Sahib says. The war is in the mind. When we lose to these 5 thieves we create our hell here on earth. When those 5 are tamed and we connect to god while here on earth we experience “heaven” here on earth
Today’s age is the hardest to conquer those 5 thieves. Lust greed attachment pride anger.
So just a second of true remembrance is enough to escape this world’s birth and death cycle and to remerge your soul with the spirit of god from where it came.
In Sikhi a passed away loved one's spiritual energy merges with the universal Divine essence, a process described as a drop of water returning to the ocean. The principle that energy is not destroyed, but rather transformed from one form to another. From this perspective, the physical form may cease to exist, but the spiritual energy of the loved one does not truly end it merely changes form and returns to the universal source.
Sadly today’s Sikhi is focused on the outside world. Body, looks, diet etc. first let a person conquer their minds 5 thieves and have a spiritual awakening. Once you do this then you are a Sikh of Guru Nanak dev ji AND ONLY THEN AFTER BECOMING A SIKH IN THE HOUSE OF GURU NANAK.. If one chooses to keep the code of conduct of Guru Gobind Singh ji, Then they become a Singh/Kaur. Focus on your spiritual awakening first. Guru Nanak dev ji didn’t preach to others about looks, diet and conversion. But instead preached about how to awaken the spirit in this age of darkness. To escape the birth and death cycle.
Once one has TRULY conquered the 5 thieves and cannot be corrupted by them as well as had their spiritual awakening then they have become pure.. they have become khals. Then they should become apart of the house of Guru Gobind Singh ji. The Khalsa.. if they truly are ready to live by the 52 hukams of Guru Ji…
now Imagine a government / army who have tamed these 5. How would you corrupt someone who can’t be tempted by lust, or one who would not put their own people in danger for greed or one who does not need worldly attachments like mansions and wealth , someone who’s ego is not controlling his thoughts for more power, land etc. That is a true and just government. All while standing up for injustice and putting themselves in the way of danger of those who cannot protect themselves. That is what true Khalsa should be In my opinion.
My apologies for any mistakes made in this statement. I’m just a Sikh man born in the west who has had a spiritual awakening 2 years ago. Most of my life I went down the wrong path and I’m trying to become a better version of myself. I to have made many mistakes in my life and I’m just trying to improve myself daily through the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji with the help of the sangat.
