Issue 39 - November 27, 2001 Devotion & Destiny by Gururattan Kaur Khalsa Ph.D.
We live in a powerful and tumultuous time. As we make the transition from the Piscean Age to the Aquarian Age, we are individually and collectively faced with many challenges. Many of us are asking what can we do to help. How can we personally contribute to the creation of a world founded in love, not based in fear? We ask what is my purpose? Why am I here? If we do not know, we may feel an unidentified sense of frustration or urgency. Be reassured, however, that if you are asking these questions, you are already part of the solution. You are being guided. The nature of your contribution will be made known to you in divine timing. The real problem is for those who are not asking these questions, who bury themselves in anger and desire for revenge. It is important at this time to discern between thoughts and attitudes that create inner peace and those that perpetuate inner conflict. We must be careful to choose behaviors and actions that create life, not destroy life. Since our inner realty creates our outer reality, our contribution begins and continues in our minds and hearts. Some people will find that their purpose is to serve as pillars to hold the space of peace. You will simply go about what may seem to be normal daily lives without a grand project. If you are one of these pillars, do not underestimate the importance of your assignment. Love can only manifest on the Planet through our attentive embodiment of peace and light. Carry out your mission with diligence wherever you are posted and appreciate yourself for volunteering for this assignment. Others are being given more action-oriented assignments. You are being asked to serve humanity by orchestrating or facilitating specific projects. Whatever service you are asked to perform, remember to always carry the vibration of love in your heart and space of neutrality in your mind. Your attitude will facilitate or sabotage your best intentions. Wherever, however, you are called upon to serve, serve with grace as your style, gratitude as your attitude and humility as your touchstone. The Sun is in Sagittarius from November 21 through December 20. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion and good fortune. This is a great time to tune into your life purpose, identify your destiny path and truly follow your heart. There will be time for serious work when the Sun goes into Capricorn December 21. Now is the time to allow the conscious expansion of your soul into your human embodiment and rejoice in your spiritual awakening. Yogi Bhajan recently shared the inspirational thought that we find our purpose through devotion. We find our destiny inside ourselves, not outside our selves. Devotion is cultivated through any form of prayer, meditation, chanting, ritual or reading of sacred scriptures. There are many, many devotional practices which humble us before the Divine and open our hearts to connect with the Infinite Source. It is our connection with the Divine that opens us to our Soul Essence. It is our connection with our Soul that awakens us to the experience of Oneness. In Oneness our destiny path is revealed. The morning mediation series that Yogi Bhajan has given us to chant daily through 2011 ends with 5 minutes of the mantra GURU
GURU WHA HE GURU Chanting 5-11 minutes of this mantra is a great way to end any yoga and meditation practice and to set the vibration for our day. This beautiful devotional chant evokes the healing energy of Guru Ram Das who embodied the divine essences of humility, healing, service and love. This mantra can be chanted in a monotone or sung in any tune you make up.

Chanting 3-11 minutes of long Saaaaaaaaaat Nam's with your hands on your heart or in prayer pose is also a simple way to evoke devotional heart energy. Simply inhale deeply and chant SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT until breath is almost done and then complete with a short well enunciated NAM.
Below I share a poem that I wrote in 1997. It was inspired by a short verse from Sikh scripture the Siri Guru Grant Sahib. I have written hundreds of these essay poems and this is one of my favorites. I send it you with my prayer that the light of your destiny path will awaken in your heart.
We are each God's highest experiment of being "ME" Each of our lives is about initiating the small "me" into the consciousness of the

Connected to Source, we are supported and propelled forward on our destiny path.
The formula is to open ourselves up to receive what is already ours. Our touchstone is our willingness to live the destiny written on our forehead.
