God is a "carrot and stick" kind of God, balanced through compassion along the way. He supports you, and protects you. He provides for you, and He forgives you. Most of all, He loves you so much that he knows how much you experience it. God has beautiful carrots.
On the other hand, there is a minimum God requires for his favor. The cost is gratitude. If, or when, gratitude wanes, God’s favor wanes accordingly, until God’s favor appears to turn into punishment.
There are three realms of truth: elementary, circumstantial, and Infinite. Basically, they’re self-explanatory. Elementary is your perception of reality as an earthly function. Circumstantial is time-sensitive and is a heavenly function. Infinite is true, was true, and will always be true, and is a Godly function. Pretty straight forward.
One who sees life through these three lenses, magnifies his perception geometrically. Here’s the deal. If you haven’t visited the circumstantial realm, or the Infinite realm of truth, as most people don’t, you won’t, and shouldn’t believe either really exist, or that these realms are the truth. That’s the way it is and I can’t do anything about it except pray for God’s mercy.
Windows 11 will be officially released on Tuesday, October 5th. So why would you care? Well, it’s not only a lot more beautiful than Windows 10, but it’s also a faster, more stable and more elegant operating system.
Through it all, no matter what pain circumstances may create, keep-up in praise of Guru ji, God. The Siri Guru Granth Sahib ji shows us how, “Katya duke bukh sadmir, ebe dot te re da tar,” (Oh, Supreme Giver, if you cast a hundred thousand more pains, curses and hunger upon me, that, too, I will say is Your gift). Whatever happens becomes necessary, so no judgement is necessary.
Wow, a life totally free from bias, prejudice, indifference. Lean back for just a moment and imagine what life would bel like if you lived it in love for ALL? Non-judgmental love.Unconditional love. Pure love. Love filled with wishing well for all, and meaning it.
We all have differences, great differences. As they say, it comes with the turf. Any true relationship has differences. In spite of all, a Sikh has found the way to love all. It doesn’t mean that he may not have to go to battle with those he loves, but he’s understands how. Please let me explain.
Community Service - Serving our Local Children
There is so much need in our community to help our local children have healthy and happy lives. The opportunity has come to support them in the coming school year and your help will make it successful. Local organizations are coming together in July to help make this happen.
It's the end of June and I'm typing this month's column on my newly upgraded Windows 11 computer. Yes, you heard right. There's a new version of Microsoft Windows.
"You can have everything if you let yourself be.” This line comes from the depth of 3HO. It’s our theme song. Back in the 60’s, a famous singer, Donovan, sang a song which began, "Happiness runs in a circular motion. Life is like a little boat upon the sea. Everybody is a part of everything anyway, you can have everything if you let yourself be." Do you think that this became our theme song by accident? No way. Please, let me explain.

Many of us are dealing with grief and loss during these days. Grief and the mourning process are natural and normal with the loss of a loved one and many other types of loss that come with life. It is good to be aware of the process and how to help yourself heal (or help others) through the process. How we can talk to others about our loss; and how we can learn to listen deeply to others' grief.
Sat Nam Dear Family,
“Being dead, while alive.” This is the secret call of ultimate reality. Many have heard it, some deeper than others, few have truly understood it experientially. Augmenting this reality, this understanding, into the psyche is the journey unto Infinity.
