PRECIOUS PEARLS
(SAYINGS OF BABA GURBACHAN SINGH JI)

"P"

 

PAIN AND PLEASURE
Pain and pleasure are an integral part of life.

 

PEACE OF MIND
Our surroundings and our doings do affect our thoughts. However, the purity of thought, a prerequisite for peace of mind, is not possible without Enlightenment.

 

PRACTICAL LIFE: BEST PUBLICITY
The practical life of the devotees is the principal vehicle of publicity to inspire and attract others.

 

PRACTICAL LIFE: KNOWLEDGE MATCHING PRACTICE
There is no death of distinguished religious and spiritual scholars. They would, however, be classed as really great only if their knowledge matches their practice.

 

PRACTICE COUNTS
We can benefit from practice and not merely from speaking or hearing.

 

PRACTICE AND PRECEPT
One, whose deeds do not conform to his precepts, is far apart from God.

 

PREACHING
Those, who do not practice what they preach, fall from grace. Their preachings too fall flat.

 

PRETENCE
Pretence brings contempt and humiliation, while frankness inspires admiration and confidence.

 

PURITY: LIVING FAITH
Purity is the living faith and a way of life of a devotee. He is pure in thought, word and deed.

 

PURITY: WITHIN AND WITHOUT
A man, who is impure within, cannot be pure without. Likewise, one who is unrighteous in actions, cannot be righteous in thoughts.

 

PURPOSE
In the entire creation there is nothing without a purpose. There must be a purpose of human life, as well. Have we identified and achieved the same?
