It's not necessarily the same thing that works for everyone. Ultimately, we want to get to a place where we let go and surrender to be with Vaheguru but it can be different things take you to that place. The focus is not so much on the action itself. The whole purpose is that the grip of the ego is reducing and we are experiencing the qualities of God. In this video, Bhai Baljit Singh discusses how certain people express their love for God in different ways. Some may express it by being more of a mother, father or friend to the world. As a receiver, when we open our heart to that, Vaheguru will always give us the love that we are seeking.

Bhai Baljit Singh talks about what 'Panch' means and how we can cultivate saintly qualities in our life, drawing from the lives of the Gurus and the Bhagats.

What do people class as freedom? Is it to be able to make certain choices in life that you weren't able to make before? The Guru talks about freeing us from the imprisonment of ego and unconscious desires. Liberation is freeing ourselves from our identities of needing to be validated and praised or giving the power away to be affected by someone else speaking low of us. Freedom is living in a complete state of consciousness and always remaining in love.

Acceptance is not to resist the light within us. When we're in internal mental pain, it's because we're resisting that part of Vaheguru (God) within us. Living in that state of sweet acceptance will give us the awareness of our mind which is made up of memories, thoughts and experiences. When our only reality is our identities, we are controlled by our emotions. Guru Nanak Dev Ji is telling us that our liberation lies in listening and surrendering in each moment to Naam (connection to the divine).
