Thoughts
As a seeker, I come across various challenges and doubts in my life. Besides, there are many situations in which I struggle, sometimes successfully and sometimes unsuccessfully, to apply the understanding of life given by Gurbani. Also, there are situations I try to look from the both the perspectives: of the regular society and of Gurbani.
A lot of times, I write down these things: my understandings, my challenges, my questions, and my perspectives, as I seek, with the grace of Guru Nanak, to integrate the perspective of Gurbani in my life. I thought sharing these experiences might help some people going through the same challenges or situations. With this motive, I am sharing these experiences of my life.

I am a person who would analyze and question everything. Yet, for 20 years, the seemingly irrational messages of Gurbani have been my greatest source of peace. This article explores how its core truths provided an anchor in moments of despair and why, for me, a life without the sound of Kirtan would be a life without meaning.
