If you look at our YouTube channel.
We have many videos and we are making so many more and we do read the comment section
and actually, someone keeps posting a message saying that can you make a video on time management?
So for the Sangat before we make this video about time management and What Sikhi has to say about it.
When I look at this question that the person is asking from Sangat that actually
time management seems like a question of how can we balance Sikhi and Life
and the thing is that if you just look at this idea
It goes completely in the wrong direction
because what we're doing here is that we've got Sikhi on one side
and then we've got life on the other side.
We've got the world on the other side
and we are thinking how can we balance the two, but the thing here is that we're not trying to balance the two
We're not trying to keep it as two - we're trying to make it One.
We're trying to make Sikhi and our life one thing.
We don't need to balance Sikhi and our life.
They are both one thing, they come together.
The way to do that is to start with the morning.
What is the first thing that we're doing in the morning?
Make that Sikhi and then make that part of your life
Because if you think about it, we are Sikh, we are Sikh first, then we are Doctor.
We're Sikh first, then we're a student in our school.
We do Sikhi first, Sikhi is our life, ingrain it into our life
And that's the whole idea of "IK" when we say "IK Oankar", we want to become IK
We want to become one with it, not just with Vaheguru Ji.
but
with the idea actually
with the whole world because the whole world is Vaheguru Ji.
When we become one with this world,
we become one with Vaheguru Ji anyway.
It's the same thing.
So it starts off with the morning.
Guru Ramdaas ji tells us
The one who is the sikh of the Guru, they wake up in the morning and then meditate upon their name.
So something we could do is start in the morning.
Wake up in the morning and remember Guru Sahib ji
and then take it into our day: we get ready for work.
We can listen to any type of music or we can listen to Kirtan when we go to work.
We may go in a train, maybe in a car.
So some Simran, we ingrain it into our life.
Then we're going to the gym and we're exercising, do a Japji Sahib for example.
Do a Chaupai Sahib in-between your sets.
There's so many ways that we can do this.
Then Maharaaj tells us later on
What is the state that we want to get to, this idea of time management?
They say to us,
jo saas giraas - saas means every single breath,
giraas means with every single morsel of food
dhiaae meraa har har (har har - saas giraas)
with each breath, with each food that we eat, we think about Guru Sahib ji.
That's the state we're gonna get to.
Then we don't need to manage our time with Sikhi and life because they both one
They both come together.
And then what did Maharaaj say about that - Guru Ramdaas ji
so gursikh, that gursikh guru man bhaavai.
That Guru Sahib ji is pleased with that person
They're so happy and we know that when Guru Sahib ji is pleased with us,
They bless us with Gur Prasaad.
Gur Prasad is the blessings of the Guru.
Gur, Guru and then Prasaad means their blessings.
When we're getting Gurparsaad, where do we go?
We go back to Guru Sahib ji.
So just a very short video, just letting you guys know that when it comes to time management
we're not trying to separate the two
We're not trying to manage Sikhi and our life.
We're trying to make them one.
The earlier we start the better.
It's never too late.
We look at Guru Amardaas ji. Later on in their Jeevan, they came to Sikhi, they became the Guru...
Well, the earlier we start
If we start now you're watching this video, start in this moment!
We're too worried about the past or the future, lets worry about now.
In this moment, let's ingrain Sikhi into our life and let's make it one.
So please forgive all the mistakes that I've made in this video
