Have you ever told yourself, “I’ll start meditating when I’m older”?
In this katha, Amandeep Singh shares why waiting for the “right time” keeps us trapped in unhappiness — and how to rewire your mind now for peace, discipline, and true joy.
Through simple explanations of neuroscience, habits, and Sikh wisdom, discover how the mind can be trained while it’s still flexible — before it becomes set in its ways.
The real question isn’t can you change… it’s do you want to be happy? 🌿
ਸਿਰੁ ਕੰਪਿਓ ਪਗ ਡਗਮਗੇ ਨੈਨ ਜੋਤਿ ਤੇ ਹੀਨ ॥
The head shakes, the feet stagger, and the eyes become dull and weak.
ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਇਹ ਬਿਧਿ ਭਈ ਤਊ ਨ ਹਰਿ ਰਸਿ ਲੀਨ ॥੪੭॥
Nanak says, this is your condition. And even now, you have not savoured the sublime essence of the Lord.
ਨਿਜ ਕਰਿ ਦੇਖਿਓ ਜਗਤੁ ਮੈ ਕੋ ਕਾਹੂ ਕੋ ਨਾਹਿ ॥
I had looked upon the world as my own, but no one belongs to anyone else.
ਨਾਨਕ ਥਿਰੁ ਹਰਿ ਭਗਤਿ ਹੈ ਤਿਹ ਰਾਖੋ ਮਨ ਮਾਹਿ ॥੪੮॥
O Nanak, only devotional worship of Vaheguru is permanent; enshrine this in your mind.
