Greatful to you Aman ji
you are always ready for help. This distiguishes you from the rest of crowd.
can we not have save button & formatting for highlighting certain portion of text.
why punjabi words get separated on this space for quick reply?

with love & regards

Mahanbir ji, you are most welcome. :) Well, there are always known issues when we post non-english characters on any forum... only unicoded fonts show up as they are under any browser... but converting characters to unicode is quite a tedius job. Sometimes, we have to live by some limitations.

For this matter, we have some five gurumukhi fonts installed for giving some choice to the posters... you can see them from the Fonts drop down menu...

And, it hardly matters if a new topic is a thread or a article... :) i hope this helps.

That click 'click here to read the whole artical' shows up on 2nd and subsequent pages by system automatically... and as i have stated, it does not matter if a topic is a thread or a article... it is just a presentation.

"To put it simply, the act of meditation involves quieting the mind so you can open the heart. That's it in a nutshell."

This sounds poetic, but its common sense. You do not have to quieten your mind, just watch it!, watch your thoughts, watch the noisey thoughts.

The have a purpose, that need to achieve, accomplish, to have fun, to do better. Be the master of these, by just watching them, and directing your thoughts. By just watching them, you become aware of the space inbetween your thoughts.

You don't have to sit alone in a room for hours on end to try to achieve peace.

very will said D singh ji,
watch what your mind is thinkin. you can not stop your mind to think, you get back one step & see what noise it is making. you stand aside. let these toughts pass. it is a passing prade if you do not analyse these thoughts which are coming to you.
not only thoughts some fellings & some sounds will disturb you which have no connection with the present moment. let them pass , it is a passing parede.you will get quiet. it seems so simple but it is true. concentrate on your breathing. listen to your breathing. This is one easy way to stop your mind from wandering.
