All That Glitters is Not Gold (George)

Brass will never be a true substitute for goldsmiths, no matter how shiny. Its value is belittled as the glistening surface becomes dull and marred on prolonged handling. Eventually, the true form always reveals itself.

Satguru Hardev Ji once said that even if one may, for instance, dispute that Nirankar is all knowing, there is certainly no doubt that every individual knows what is within him or her. My dearest friends are those who do not seek to hide, rather to learn to appreciate and then challenge the shortcomings in their lives. Baba Ji has told us time and time again that there is a need for quality and not quantity in all that we are and do. This measure of quality lies not in what we can portray ourselves to be to our friends, relatives, and companions (either within or outside the Bhawan/Sadh Sangat), but in what we actually are.

It is time to stop waving our speeches in the air and throwing around philosophies of why things are the way they are there is no need to point the finger at what we think to be the shortcomings of others when we have no intention to attend our own. We all know what we are and where we are, as does our Satguru. To become closer to Satguru we must need to travel deeper inside ourselves and put right what we have hidden away and kept anonymous to those outside. That is the true path to spiritual prosperity.
