In saloks thirty-seven through sixty-five, Sheikh Farid Ji describes the typical human life, where beings are drawn to glittery yet ultimately harmful transient things and relationships, spending their entire lives in pursuit of them.

In saloks sixteen to thirty-six, Sheikh Farid Ji reminds us that humility is a noble virtue essential for life. A seeker in love with IkOankar (the Divine) perceives the Divine in all and remains ever humble. Even in the face of trials and hardships, they remain oriented toward the Divine, for their love is selfless.

The first fifteen saloks by Sheikh Farid Ji convey that the span of every being’s life is predetermined and finite. The being has come into this world to engage in devotion of IkOankar (the Divine) and to live a life of humility and non-attachment. Yet, burdened by the attachment to transient things and relationships, they wander, unaware of their true purpose. Worldly desire leads them astray.

What unfolded was not just an experience of presence, but of transformation.

2-time Sidaker Manmit Singh joins Jasleen Kaur to reflect on connection, community, and their deepening relationship with Asa ki Var, a guiding light through threads of hope and hopelessness. Sidak is a really beautiful experience, not to say that you won’t be challenged. But that’s the beauty of Sidak; it becomes a place that is insistent on the Sangat.
“If you are wanting to cultivate that insistence and practice that insistence, apply. Apply and come through, and know that you will not be alone.”

“1984 Lives in Me: 41 Years of Fire & Grace” is a poetic reflection on the enduring impact of the 1984 Ghallughara on Sikh spirit and memory. Blending mysticism, remembrance, and quiet resistance, the piece honors those who preserved sovereignty through silence, devotion, and truth. It does not dwell in sorrow—it rises in presence. It is not a commemoration of loss, but a sacred reawakening to what cannot be silenced, scorched, or forgotten.

Rag Ramkali advises the mind to take the support of IkOankar through reflection on Nam (Divine-Identification) to gain freedom from flawed thinking. Rag Maru emphasizes the comfort and liberation found in Nam. Guru Teghbahadar Sahib warns that indulging in pleasures leads to regret at life’s end. One should seek IkOankar while there is time.

Explore Var Sat (Mahala 3) 2/2: https://bit.ly/var-sat-m3-2
In this composition, Guru Amardas Sahib highlights that IkOankar (the Divine) is the Creator of all existence. It portrays how individuals who cling to temporary possessions and relationships remain trapped in the cycle of birth and death.
In contrast, those who remember and internalize the eternal Wisdom (Guru) come to recognize IkOankar as the source behind all that happens in the world. For them, IkOankar serves as a protector against vices. With the guidance of the Wisdom, they rise above the cycle of rebirth and liberate themselves from worldly pain and suffering.

In this contemplative reflection, Inni Kaur shares a deeply personal response to a Hukam from Guru Arjan Sahib. Interweaving the presence of Bhai Vir Singh Ji and the voice of a giani, she explores how shukrana (gratitude), simran (remembrance), and quiet presence awaken something within. This is a gentle invitation to return—to breath, to grace, to the Nam that stirs from within.
Listen as Inni Kaur takes you on a contemplative journey through the month of Vaisakh—a time of renewal, abundance, and quiet yearning.
Amid blooming fields and vibrant celebrations, the seeker feels the ache of separation and the slipping away of remembrance. Guided by the voices of Guru Nanak Sahib and Guru Arjan Sahib, this reflection explores a longing and awakening and the call of the Beloved—an invitation to turn inward, soften, and bloom.
