Sangee saathhee sagal tharaaee

[DriftingCrow]

I think a lot of people find it's too easy to worry about the mental or spiritual state of others and react in a way which isn't helpful to the other person. I think we've all had experiences in our lives when someone has gone and told us X,Y, and Z and it has been harmful (ie: you'll go to hell for accepting that you're trans*) or have unintentionally done the same to others.  One of the most important aspects (to me at least) of Sikhi is how everything is about changing yourself and thus it then effects (at the very least your perception of) the world in a positive way.  Maan jeete jag jeet (change your mind, change the world). 

The only way we can help our fellow beings live happier and healthier lives is to work on ourselves first.  If we're in a state of bliss, that seeps to those around us.  

Aasaa, Seventh House, Fifth Mehla:


har kaa naam ridhai nith dhhiaaee ||

Meditate continually on the Name of the Lord within your heart.


sa(n)gee saathhee sagal tharaa(n)ee ||1||

Thus you shall save all your companions and associates. ||1||


gur maerai sa(n)g sadhaa hai naalae ||

My Guru is always with me, near at hand.


simar simar this sadhaa samhaalae ||1|| rehaao ||

Meditating, meditating in remembrance on the One, I cherish Him forever. ||1||Pause||


thaeraa keeaa meet(h)aa laagai ||

Your actions seem so sweet to me.


har naam padhaarathh naanak maa(n)gai ||2||42||93||

Nanak begs for the treasure of the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||2||42||93||

HUH? I think I know but.....

I have never told anyone even inadvertatantly to go to hell. Truthfully I have told many people to go to hell.  I didn't really mean it though. But that is no excuse. So I am bad. So I think I will start using the term, "Fuck Off" instead or "Go to hell."

I can not judge anyone to send them to hell. But I do have the perogative tho tel them to go get fucked. Or go fuck themselves.

Thank you Drifting Crow. That really makes me think how I need to rethink how I tell people what they can do. Seriously.
