Spiritual / Temporal spring clean

_/\_ Spiritual / Temporal spring clean:New Year's decision=WIll only b usin Twitter.No more blog, facebook or facebook fanpage updates, reading of messages, comments, inbox etc... This will be last message on all these webpages. If u still want2 contact or communicate with this insignificant person do this: 1. Join twitter 2. Download and install a decktop client like tweetdeck (you'll thank me-Twitter is useless without a client) 3. Follow AtmaSingh http://twitter.com/AtmaSingh (if u need to be shown the 'Twitter-Ropes' I'll help u with that via Twitter). Why this change for me? i want to decrease time spent communicating with others via internet yet don't want to minimise the meaningful, qualitative, truly useful things it can sometimes afford. Need to contact me re: photography? Pls please visit site: http://www.AtmaImages.com and message me that way - or via twitter! Peace, Love and above all, Vaheguroo Continue reading ...

5 Sponges

A Gursikh sent the below to me - it's really beautiful so thought I'd share it.

There are five sponges laying on your kitchen counter top. Each member of your family has been cleaning up different areas of your home, but all the sponges look the same. You are curious as to what was cleaned in your home, but you can't tell by looking...they all look the same....so what do you do?

You squeeze each sponge to see what comes out. As you squeeze the first sponge, you see that cola comes out, and so you decide that someone cleaned the kitchen with that one. Upon squeezing the second sponge, you find tub and tile cleaner - that one was used to clean the bathroom. Next, in the third sponge, you find motor oil -- hubby was cleaning the garage! In the fourth sponge, baby powder puffs out when it is squeezed -- yep, the baby's nursery was done with that one! And finally, in the last one, is floor wax -- that was the one you used on the hall floor! As you lay the last one down, you look again at their similarity - and they all look the same until they're squeezed.

We are the same way. As life squeezes us, different things come out - anger from one, greed from another, attachment from one, lust from yet another, pride from one - and finally, from the Gurmukh, pours forth the love of Waheguru.

Just like the sponge, we can only squeeze out what is put in - stay in the Word of Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj daily, and be in continuous prayer, so that when life puts the squeeze on you (and it will), Vaheguru, and Vaheguru alone, will shine forth from you!

A New Direction

Life: Busy.

Time: Limited.

Solution: The blog will take a different direction.

Detail: Every now and then, I will feature a Sikhee-inspired poem or photograph and occasionally, a Sikhee-inspired film. I have to be realistic and realise that I'm trying to stretch myself too much - so I need to capitalise upon what I am involved in already and get more things out of it, more material and ultimately, more that I can share with the Sangat. This will be the way I do it...

everyday sikhee - through the artistic expression of words as well as still and moving images.

The design of this blog may change to accommodate this new direction but that won't happen for a while because...you've guessed it...limited time lol

See: This Photograph and feel free to comment.

Poems from the Past

Posting this link so you can have a look at these. I must warn some are quite graphic in terms of the imagery they conjure-up so they are not ideal for young kids.

Ps - In the middle of starting-up Photography / Film-making business AtmaImages so time is so limited. If it is in His Hukam, will post properly soon.
