It’s a long time to hang in the sky (a parody on a John Denver song). We hang in there, we keep-up. We are the people, the people of love. That’s worth keeping-up for. This journey, this spiritual journey, this Sikh Dharma journey, ALL spiritual journeys, almost always takes eons of years to get to Amritsar. Aren’t we lucky, we have made it in this lifetime. 

Amritsar is an earthly destination. Amritsar is also a metaphor for reaching the heavens, at least one of them anyway. Do you remember the expression ‘seventh heaven’ as meaning the top experience of all the seven heavens? 

People ask me, "What’s the difference between religions of the West and religions of the East?" The answer isn’t just this or that. The answer contains two different techniques when pursuing a spiritual path Please, let me explain further. 

Right off the bat there’s a problem. Religions in the East are not religions at all.

Is there a any religion which says that love isn’t the answer? Of course not. Religion is the science of reality. Love is reality in Totality. In other words, God is the perpetual, Infinite, love experience of Totality. This endless vibration of love is perpetually deeper and deeper until the student and the Guru, the student and God, and the student himself become One. 

For most, life has much too much pain and drudgery. That may not be a bad thing, The journey toward spirituality begins with the thought, the desire, the commitment to do more to find happiness. Few, very very few come to spiritually who are happy with their life. And, few keep-up with the necessary discipline spirituality offers to attain happiness.. Nevertheless, it turns out that the journey unto happiness is real.
