The document is a dialogue between Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati where Parvati asks Shiva to describe the glory of the Guru. Shiva responds that the knowledge of the Guru is most important for liberation from rebirth, but that this knowledge is also very secret. However, because of Parvati's great devotion, Shiva agrees to explain the essence of the Guru to her in the following chapters.
The document contains a prayer in Gurmukhi script addressed to God. It expresses that one's life, body and all things belong to God. God is referred to as the father, mother and friend of all.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

Sometime this kind of a workshops are called a Self-realization workshops and all that. But I am here not to discuss any of that. I am here to sell something that has helped me in my life, something wondrous, something so real that it cant be explained in prose and the only poetry it deserves is divine. We all have gathered here at Saanjh, we all have made our first steps to finding our relationship to the cosmos (life, universe & everything). It is my assumption about all of us, myself included, that none of us is here to get lost . So self- realization will happen when it is time for it to happen. I am here to spend the next 2 and half hours to share with you the complicated meaning of a word called “Gur”. For it is when this riddle got solved life started to have a new meaning. I hope something clicks today & we all find newer meanings in the same things that we already see around us. Before we begin this discussion I would want everyone to meditate on this question for a minute: Do I for sure knows or have a memory of what was I before I was born & or know in absolute terms what will happen to me after I die. I would also want to add a twist to the question- Am I really sure or am I just quoting hearsay to myself? Come-on I do not have to present an answer to this question to anyone, I should be honest to myself. No one will be offended.Let’s see what the Guru says about this.
Steve Jobs- Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.Well, If it is a precious gift. If here and now is all I can be sure off. I think I need to re-evaluate my activities.
95% of the thinking happens in the unconscious mind.
Before we leap into topics of life universe & everything. Let us spend a few minutes to think about what powers does our “mann” hold over us.
But before we go to topics like life, universe & everything. Lets see how do we attain mastery in any thing in life. let’s all close our eyes and think of a career, school or any other kind of goal that we have in life. Big, small or whatever.Now jot down on a piece of paper for yourself only what actions have you taken in the past or are planning to take in the future to attain this goal. Now if you feel like, share it with the person next to you. This is just so that we all know that there is a process to this and we all know it innately. I have an example for you too learning Rock climbing, swimming? I go seek the company of someone who has mastery (my housemate), get some insights (from him), the right equipment & then am nurture the skills through practice. This is the effort I am making to attaining the ‘Gur’ of Rock Climbing/swimming.
