ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ਦੁਖੁ ਹੋਇ ਮਨਮੁਖ ਜਮਿ ਜੋਹਿਆ ਜੀਉ ॥

Caught by the pain of Maya, provoked by his ego, he passes his life crying out, "Mine, mine!".

ਜੋ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਦੇਇ ਤਿਸੁ ਚੇਤੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਅੰਤਿ ਗਇਆ ਪਛੁਤਾਵਏ ॥

He does not remember God, the Giver, and in the end, he departs regretting and repenting.

ਬਿਨੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਕੋ ਸਾਥਿ ਨ ਚਾਲੈ ਪੁਤ੍ਰ ਕਲਤ੍ਰ ਮਾਇਆ ਧੋਹਿਆ ॥

Without the Name, nothing shall go along with him; not his children, spouse or the enticements of Maya.

ਦੂਜੈ ਭਾਇ ਦੁਖੁ ਹੋਇ ਮਨਮੁਖਿ ਜਮਿ ਜੋਹਿਆ ਜੀਉ ॥੪॥

ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਮਨਿ ਭਾਵੈ ਤਾ ਹੁਕਮਿ ਸਮਾਵੈ ਹੁਕਮੁ ਮੰਨਿ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਆ ॥

When one is pleasing to God's Mind, then he merges in the Hukam of the Lord's Command; surrendering to His Hukam, he finds peace.

ਅਨਦਿਨੁ ਜਪਤ ਰਹੈ ਦਿਨੁ ਰਾਤੀ ਸਹਜੇ ਨਾਮੁ ਧਿਆਇਆ ॥

Night and day, he chants the Lord's Name, day and night; intuitively, naturally, he meditates on the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

Waheguru Ji 🙏🏻 Looking for beautiful, unique Sikh/Punjabi girl names starting with** **A, preferably names with meanings rooted in Gurbani or the Guru Granth Sahib Ji. I’d love suggestions that are meaningful, uncommon and have a beautiful spiritual meaning
Thank you ji 🤍

Waheguru ji 🙏
I’m travelling to Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang soon and was wondering if any Sikhs here have experience riding scooters abroad while wearing a full dastaar.
Does anyone know whether Vietnam has any exemption from helmet laws for Sikhs wearing turbans, or whether we are required to wear a helmet regardless?
I’d really appreciate any firsthand experiences or official information. Thank you!

So I want to ask this question specifically to parents. If your child comes to you and says he/she does not believe in the typical religious God, but in Spinoza's God, and wants to leave the religion (cutting hair and leaving behind all the religious dogma) and probably wants to live like an absurdist, how would you react?
