Description
Why do we have bad thoughts and do they reveal who we really are? Bhai Jagraj Singh explains the Sikh perspective on ego, learned habits, anger, meditation and the restless mind.
Using the image of gold being purified through heat, Bhai Sahib explains how the mind can become calmer and clearer. He explores why anger can become habitual, how society conditions our desires, and why changing outward behaviour must work together with inward spiritual transformation.
In Sikhi, Simran means remembering and meditating on Vaheguru the One. Bhai Sahib explains how Simran, positive habits and living according to the Guru’s teachings work together.
