What is true love? Amul Gun - Japji Sahib Podcast EP26
Allow stories to be a powerful and impactful mode to teach use every day life lessons. In this instance, Guru Angad Dev Ji perfectly allows us to witness how they remained in the priceless essence of love instead of allowing the ego mind to take over in response to somebody else's frustration and anger.
In this pauri (stanza), Guru Nanak Dev Ji share their wisdom to such an extent that we lose ourself in the repetitive reciting of praising how priceless the One is. This repetition turns into true remembrance and through that we fall into that priceless love. Imagine Guru Nanak takes your hand and allows you to see how priceless that One is.

Where does our suffering come from? Bahuta Karam - Japji Sahib Podcast EP25
Sometimes we get afraid of pain but it's a calling for us to do something! When the suffering is mental/emotional, it's a calling for us return to the One. This powerful episode is filled with gems of wisdom, as Bhai Baljit Singh & Bhai Jagmeet Singh discuss how by taking strength from Gurbani and the Shaheeds, what practical steps we can take when we feel defeated. There's an abundance of gifts in our life, and by opening our eyes to them, we can transform our mindset to gratitude and appreciation for the One who is the giver; if we live in this praise of the One, we can be on top of the world!

What is a Miracle? - Ant Na Sifti
It’s all about re-finding it - remembering that you are bliss. Our question should be simple - what are we doing to block it? Or, what do we need to do that helps to unblock whatever it is that we can’t identify to allow us to be there in that place? Then do it!
Bhai Baljit Singh and Daraspreet Kaur have a beautiful discussion about looking at the every day elements of life and living in awe - this is the true miracle of life. Listen to the beautiful true story Bhai Jetha Ji and the mango and many more discussions about expressing gratitude and presence to draw yourself closer to the One.

What it takes to make the world a better place - Salaahee Salaahi
The illusion of desire keeps us thinking that bliss is one step away. Guru Nanak Dev Ji reminds us that in the same way that rivers and streams travel towards the ocean, we too can go back into that ocean of bliss in this very moment internally, even whilst we're doing our day to day tasks. Even if you've got an abundance of wealth, if you are not satisfied, you can bring a lot of distress to the world because of your hunger. You could be as small as an ant - you may not know a lot or have a lot materialistically, but because you're complete from inside, in that you've found eternal bliss, you will be of service to your life and bring peace into the world.

How to choose peace over consumerism - Pataala Pataal - Japji Sahib Podcast EP22
The mind constantly keeps falling into the trap thinking it needs to know the absolute limit and end to everything and figure everything out. That's okay but it can think that once it's figured it out how this works, how that works, it's going to feel complete and satisfied and at some points it's going to come to a stop. That's an illusion because you'll never reach that place discovering more about the creation. Instead you'll find yourself in a rut of chasing pleasure.
Guru Nanak Dev Ji says something very simple - sometimes hearing something so simple can make you think - is that it? Guru Ji says take a moment to just say, 'wow' to how great You are, and realise that in that moment of 'wow', you are complete.

The JOY of LETTING GO! - Teerath Tap
You may feel you're doing something good for yourself and for the world, when the real work internally is still to be done. Let's take on the wisdom of the Guru and start letting go of the things that are holding us back from experiencing the soul.
Knowing about the creation or improving the external quality of our life won't take us into a state of joy. In the state of awe, surrender and gratitude will take us to our true home.
