Humans do not realise
things usually until its too late.
Humans have a tendency
to forget, to delay, to put things off.
Humans have an ego, an
identity, an individuality which must be protected.
Each quality of a human
being has a positive and negative outcome.
For example, the
outcome of talking bluntly is that some people may not like receiving
blunt advice, it hurts their ego, instead they would prefer moving at
their own pace. But often if people are left to their own devices,
they may not face themselves at all – due to the tendencies of
human nature – to forget, to delay, to put things off.
A trade-off is
therefore required.
The trade-off is to mix
opposites together, to form a new mix of 'being'. Instead of talking
bluntly, it can be mixed with its opposite, talking lovingly and
sweetly. This forms a new type of being – a person who can talk
bluntly to get through to others and tell them where they are going
wrong, and at the same time, when the ego has been brought to its
limit, the advice can be tempered with sweetness to massage the ego
back to health, to respect the ego, to respect the individual.
Wherever possible,
opposite forms of being should be mixed to create a third, more
effective type with all of the positives, whilst minimising the
negatives. It is these types of being which should be passed down to
the next generation for further refinement., just like in genetic
engineering. Overtime, with each generation of more and more
effective ways of being, the human race shall be greatly enriched,
happier and effective. In fact, the human race will totally transform
beyond our wildest dreams into something so beautiful that it shall
be the envy of the Universe.
My vision is to
contribute whatever I can to bring about this new human race, this
new human being. I am not alone however in my quest and nor the first
to embark upon it, all the ancient sages, saints and enlightened
beings have contributed to this body of work throughout time – it
is the most ancient science, the first science.
My work is simply to
restate the eternal teachings and shine a modern light on them to
make them applicable to everyday life, understandable and actionable.
To summarise the teachings which work and the ones which do not
because they were bound by time and space, and have therefore
expired. In other words, I am reframing the eternal teachings for the
modern world.
The human heart is the
most sought after commodity in the Universe, because its inherent
potential to feel and experience the energy of love, is more powerful
than any civilisation which has ever occurred before us. The human
heart is an anomaly born out of total chaos with the potential for
total harmony.
The Sikh way of life is
an integral part of the formula to human harmony. The Sikh
Scriptures, known as the Shabad Guru, the Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji,
contains within its pages the music which awakens the complete
potential of the human heart. No other religion before Sikhism has
come up with such an effective formula for the modern world to awaken
the human heart, all whilst living an ordinary human life. Sikhism is
the missing piece of the puzzle for achieving world peace and a
blueprint to a lifestyle which develops one's being and remains
eternal in its teachings.
