You live by projection and attraction. Paap - negativity that blocks your mind from projecting purity. When the soul and mind are aligned you attract things that serve your destiny.
Here is another old interview from 2005 with Amrit Singh Khalsa (Phd). In this video he tells a the story of how and why he became a Sikh. All these interviews were very casual and spur of the moment. I just asked people if I could interview them and sat them before the camera
I was archiving some old videos to DVD and found this short video clip by Shanti Kaur (1996?) where she was talking to the sangat about the topic of "Giving things up to the Guru/God to take care of" and what that means to her. I have found this to be very true in my life. The natural tendency is to worry about things and get stressed out about something. I have found that if you develop a relationship with yourself and the Guru and you surrender your problems, challenges, etc to the Guru, that it all gets taken care of. Anyway, watch the video to hear Shanti Kaurs perspective. All food for thought :)

Navleen Kaur uses the analogy of a game to explain life from a Sikh perspective. The team you play for, how to get on that team, how to win the game and what reward you get for doing it.

This is a formula for uplifting other people like a forklift. First you have to break people out of their frame of reference by poking and provoking them (politely) in order to confront them. Then you have the opportunity to change their frame of reference (elevate).
