The month of Aasaarh seems burning hot

I failed to notice the heat. I thought "people are exaggerating about the heat in this country". Until I left the air-conditioned car. It was terrible. Sooo warm.

The month of Aasaarh seems burning hot, to those who are not close to their Husband Lord.
They have forsaken God the Primal Being, the Life of the World, and they have come to rely upon mere mortals.

The month of Aasaarh is pleasant, when the Feet of the Lord abide in the mind. 5


The desi month of AsaR (or HaR, as most people now call it) is here. Click here for a great katha of this Shabad.
It is really warm here in Punjab. The reason is probably that the "Feet of the Lord do not abide in the mind."

I'd first I'd like to thank for the sweet comment that have been left (",)
A little bit about my journey:

Being an owner of some Indian genes I was bound not be on time on the airport. My flight was at 11:55. I called the travel agent at 9:20, asking when I should be at the airport since the email I received didn't have this information. They recommended that we arrive two hours before the take-off (9:55). The absolute latest, one and a half hour before (10:25). We live about an hour to hour and a half from the airport. Although everything was packed, mum started doing Ardaas that Guru ji keep me in his Sharan and that I have a safe journey. Guess where my mind was...

After a speedy journey we arrived at the airport at 10:30 (too late). The lines were really long at the check in desk. Guru Ji had taken care of everything...

Journey was really good..met a few apney also going to Punjab..really nice people.....
Although I had booked my ticket for the Indo-Canadian bus service for Delhi to Punjab I ended up in a Tata Sumo (typical Indian van) with 4 stinking men who were sweating themselves off. Not funny at all. After a long journey, I'm finally in Punjab. Then Guru Arjan Dev JI's shaheedi divas came, one day after I arrived. Really wanted to go to the Nagar Kirtan the day after. Woke up really late due to tiredness and laziness, so ended up doing nothing at home.... I’m a bit sad I didn’t get a double visa for Pakistan..I could have gone for the nagar kirtan to Lahore (Place of Guru Ji’s Shaheedi)

So: Journey hasn't been the best. Haven’t been able to do much useful yet. Still waiting mum to come (coming in a few days)....and then we're going to met the person who is to teach me....she didn't want me to go by my own... ..So haven’t been able to do anything constructive the last few days.

Also: Punjabi people are very very superstitious... One of my on relatives (from far) claims to be a palm-reader. It is unbelievable how vague they are! The person read four people's hands in front of me..and everything she said to them seemed to refer to me to (she spoke about their personality and past..and barely mentioned future).... Very vague.. Unbelievable enough they all believed her. She’s really afraid of being home alone… because she fears some stranger will come in…yet she claims to be able to see people’s future…. Anyway.

But not everything is going wrong.... I hope to meet some interesting people soon...so everything isn't going out of planning. Mum will be coming here soon (cause she wanted to get me ‘established’ and all, so she will be leaving after a while) and then I will be doing constructive stuff…

Hope everything is great at home… in Europe (“,)
